I wonder, can you have your belly button removed? And if so is it considered plastic surgery?
Wow, according to this site, getting your kicks off amputee's is a fetish. I thought it was just plain weird. Silly me...
My daughter just turned one yesterday. And its made me think about whats happened in the last year. Its amazing to see her grow and learn, and that has been wonderful. I think she has been the first of my kids that I could really appreciate that first year in. But the world in a year has changed dramatically. Everywhere I look there has been layoffs. If I am lucky to have a job through the next year I will be surprised, odds are if I want to stay in my field I will need to move. The stock market which was already going down went lower and lower and lower... We went from caring about who won the election, though most of us were past that, except the extreme liberals who just could not give it up. To being in a war, declared or not, with a bunch of cultists (cause really what else can you call people who flog themselves to bleeding in the middle of streets just to remember a long dead hero?) who decided that they would really like to see us and our way of life destroyed. We went from caring about Gary Conduit to well who is Gary Conduit. We went from ridiculous gas prices to great gas prices to hmm its going up gas prices. Definitely the biggest thing in the last year was September 11th. I do not know if the world will ever be quite the same. Sure most people have gone back to their old routines. Lots of people are not worried about anything anymore. And the security thats been upped will be relaxed at some point. But I would like to think in some ways it did wake us up, and in other ways hope it didn't. I do not want to have to worry someday that my son or daughter works in New York and its a prime target. In some ways I want my daughter to read about things in the history books and go wow, but think of it as history, as something that happened, and we learned from and then something that we didn't have to worry about. I don't know if that makes me niave or stupid or what, but I want my kids life to be as carefree as mine was before I worried about my kids...
Zdnet posted an article telling how to remove that stupid Brilliant software that comes with Kazaa...
Would anyone get it if my tombstone said, "Busy eating pie." ?
Three facts I found relationg to farts, from Humper's Weekly News, I'd give a link but all Google had was a cached page the server apparently is gone... Why are stinky farts generally warmer and quieter than regular farts?

Most fart gas comes from swallowed air, composing of nitrogen, oxygen (which gets absorbed quickly in the stomach/intestines), and carbon dioxide. These gases are odorless. They emerge from the anus in fairly large bubbles at body temperature, therefore do not smell or feel warm, but just make quite a sound. The other major source of fart gas in from bacteria. Digestion and bacterial fermentation produce heat and smelly gases. These gases from small bubbles, but concentrated with stinky metabolic products. These emerge quietly and warm, and stink to high heaven (thus forming the notorious SBD).

How much gas do we pass a day?

On average, a person produces about half a liter of fart gas a day, distributed over an average of fourteen daily farts. This is true regardless of gender, race, or sexual preference. Those of us who attempt to refrain farting during the day often emit squeekers at night when the anus relaxes. The dead often fart shortly after passing away.

Why do beans make you fart?

Beans are composed of some sugars that our stomach can not digest. So when this sugar reaches your intestines, the bacteria residing there have a field day and go wild, releasing major quantities of gas. Other fart causing foods include cabbage, milk, raisins, bell peppers, and corn (food that our bodies are not designed to digest often cause gas, that's why dogs are smelly after eating human food). Some foods such as cauliflower, eggs, and meat cause smellier farts (the stench of man and woman farts are equal).

Hmmm Redheads. Lots of plastic too though :(

My god what is the world coming to? Speedy Gonzales banned on the cartoon network? Gesh, why not band Pepe Le Pew, cause it gives the impression French people smell. Or how about Daffy Duck, cause it gives the impression that people with a speech impediment are stupid. Man...
Oh my Christina Ricci has certainly grown up since the days of Friday!
Well I suppose these people are lucky this guy was only using a syringe and not a knife or anything. Makes you wonder how this guy decided to go out and do this...
I would have liked to be the person who invented the nut and bolt. Cause man its amazing what those two things can do. I put together a swing this weekend, and it was essentially just a bunch of nuts and bolts and metal parts. But without those nuts and bolts you just have a pile of metal parts. Imagine getting a patent on that? Gesh talk about a millionaire.
When do you not spread a rumour to someone if you think it will affect them. Like its not a rumour that so and so is sleeping with so and so, cause that obviously is true or is not true. But say your boss had said that there WOULD DEFINITELY BE PEOPLE LAID OFF in your department. But had not told you to not tell anyone, but really does he have to say that? And then when he later says make sure you know about doing X which is right now someone elses job, that really would be a good indication about something right?
I keep forgetting to type spaces. I don't know why, but I do. Which is really weird considering I have been a touch typist for about 13 years and a good portion of that addicted to being online. So now I have started to forget to type spaces. That would in fact help my words per minute cause when you tink about it there are lots of spaces in paragraphs. Unfortunately I have yet to see a piece of software that knows how to put the spaces in the right places.
