I came across this rather interesting tid-bit concerning Columbus in a Science News article. Being Columbus Day, I figured to share it with you: Luckily for Christopher Columbus, the mathematical computations found in the the 1475 Ephemerides, an almanac produced by the German astronomer/mathematician Johannes Muller proved accurate in the prediction of a 1504 lunar eclipse. Columbus set sail from The Old Spanish City, or Cadiz. Nearly 2 years later, he and his crew found themselves s...

Candace Longworth, a 31 year old science teacher in Rock Gap VA is with a felony charge of disturbing and defiling a dead person from a place of burial and two misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, when she took two students into a in crypt in Pocahontas, a town on the West Virginia border. It seems as this moron was taking pictures of these students holding the bones of deceased coal minors. Miss Longwoth faces up to a 10 year prison sentance on the charges...

Pedophiles can be anybody. The geek that sits behind you at the cyber café; The judge adjudicating your traffic ticket; The sweet young blonde that always has a bit of chit-chat for you when you stop to get your daily cup of coffee; The doctor checking your prostate or performing your breast exam; Black, white, young, old, rich, poor, anybody. Most pedophiles do however share a certain set of common characteristics that compliments their deviant sexual behaviors. Pedophiles tend to be midd...

It appears as THC, the active ingredient in maijuana has shown to potentially prevent the progression of Alzheimers disease by preventing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from detiriorating. Research also shows that marijuana may help prevent dimentia. I came across this article on CNN. Makes me happy I give my Doctor $135/year to reup my recommendation to smoke marijuana. I may suffer a little short term memory loss, but this study indicates in my memory may last longer as I age in t...

I heard a report on the radio today that women were starting to smoke deliberately to lower the birth weights of their unborn children. Unfortunately, I did not hear the entire report as the darn phone rang, so if anybody else heard it, feel free to post the particulars. It seems as with advancments in medical technology and nutrition, babies are getting heavier and heavier inside moms womb. Now dont get me wrong, I have never givin birth, obviously, but I have seen many babies delivere...

Mike Edwards, 46, was bitten by a timber rattlesnake Saturday while working on his Rockvale farm. It seems as this bit was bad enough that Mr. Edwards whas held overnight in the hospital for observation. What strikes me about this artical is how people use various medias and use them as education. It turns out Edwards and his wife had used a tourniquet on his arm to "slow the venom". Why? Because they say its a common way to handle snake bites according to western movies we se...

It seems as though at least one person is getting very tired with some kids behaviors these days, and is willing to sterilize women in order to keep them from breeding future "animals?" According to Larry Shirley, a Charleston SC city counsel member, women giving birth to delinquent children should be "spayed" so as to not produce any further delinquent offspring. "We pick up stray animals and spay them" "These mothers need to be spayed if they can't take care of theirs. Once they have...

It seems as relatives belonging of the Iraqi judge presiding over Saddam Husseins genocide trial has been slain in yet another attempt to have Saddams trial relocated to another country. His defence counsel, 3 of which have been murdered, have been claiming the Iraqi courts are bias and Hussein is not getting a fair trial. Imagine that! My feeling is they should have assassinated this bastard long ago. That would be the quickest way to end his trial, and that might just be the most fai...

Its nice to see the Islamic nation doing someshing peacful for a change? "The peaceful takeover was the latest blow to Somalia's virtually powerless government. The country's defense minister, Col. Barre "Hirale" Aden Shire, had been a leading member of the Juba Valley Alliance that had been ruling Kismayo and was among those who fled." "An interim government was formed in 2004 with U.N. help in hopes of restoring order after years of lawlessness. But the Islamic movement seized Mogad...

It seems as 3 Catholic militants were executed Friday for a 6-year old bloody attack on Muslims. The Indonesian Prime Minister says were a , "...matter of justice not religion". I was mostly interested in the reply from Vatican City: "The Vatican expressed "great regret" over the executions, and called for reconciliation and peaceful coexistence among different religions in the country. The uproar occurred as many Muslim around the world protested recent comments about Islam made by Pop...

Sorry for the repost of this article, but the TOOLS/EDIT function is so fu*king broken it truncated the OP making it nothing but a fragment. Please fix this SH*T, or at least disable that function until it is fixed. As a child growing up, I wore the standard “peter profile” whities. When boxer briefs came around, I gave those a try as well. I found these two styles of underwear a bit constraining, so I decided to go without wearing any underwear for a spell.

As a child growing up, I wore the standard “peter profile” whities. When boxer briefs came around, I gave those a try as well. I found these two styles of underwear a bit constraining, so I decided to go without wearing any underwear for a spell. This worked out okay for me until those hot summer days. You see, I work in construction, and the deep summer heat causes me to sweat profusely. At the end of these days, if I did not wear any underwear, I would sweat so much my socks would be drenched ...
