The man with exploding arms…

I was lying half-unconscious on the couch tonight and ended up watching some programs on Discovery channel. One was about strange things removed from humans (E.G.: the cop who had a 6′ long section of a mobile home stuck in his chest), then there was a show with the provocative title “The Man With Exploding Arms“.

Microsoft wants *you* to try IE 7 Beta…

Microsoft is on its second beta of Internet Explorer 7, and they really want people to download and use it.

Staggering damage to the environment must be stopped!

This was an April Fool’s Joke: DHMO is water (H20)

I’m a small “e” environmentalist. But when I started reading about the proliferation of DHMO in our industry and the horrible damage it can cause to our natural world, my hackles rose. Something has to be done!
