Please God, be on my side today. Napalm my face. Spray me down with Malathion. Let a rabid mole eat through my brain. Dip my balls in a pot of battery acid. Fart in my mouth. Shove a canister of Agent Orange up my bottom. Canker me with erratic skin pigmentations. Embalm me full of castor bean oil. But please don’t let this neurotic idiot sit across from me.

i often wonder if anyone reads this thread....

http://www.internetnews.com/

Opinions, blogs, topics on the Net and its happenings.

I do - if that helps.

That thread you gave me earlier should be here. I found the articles really interesting - esp this one about magic numbers

*smiles* I thought you might like it - i was facinated - and I know Anakha will be as well
I love the uncluttered and simplistic way in which the articles are written.

As do I. Did you read the article about the third biggest and most dangerous bird? Love the photos too.
