The thought of a 75 year old lady using such high speeds for e-mail pictures of the grandkids, and refilling perscriptions online, is really depressing.
I want that speed! :P

Are people becoming more germaphobic, or is being cautious of germs more acceptable these days? I never used to consider myself squemish about germs but there are some definite things I won't touch willingly.

For me: Public Restrooms #1 gross place (every part inside. yuck.), motel/hotel rooms #2 (phone, remote, and comforter that rarely get cleaned), grocery stores #3 (Shopping cart handle, checkout pens, and card readers)

The irony of it all? I love swimming in rivers, and love the outdoors (ticks, biting bugs, etc), and love picking wild fruit and nibbling them straight from the vine (mmm blackberries!) So natural germs don't bother me. Dunno why.
The germs of "possibly sick" strangers though? eeeeek. :P

Mr.Williams wasn't a man to ponder the nature of the universe. He liked to think he was the sort of fellow to have it all figured out. He was a man of ration, in a rational world.
However his last thought as his foot slowly stretched out before him and twisted into nothing was this:

"Now thats an odd place to find a black hole."

Without much fuss, the rest of him shortly followed.

I thought there were some parts of asia that are interested in all sorts of exotic foods. Surely theres some sort of traditional medicine or something involving rodents?
Rat-on-a-stick sounds like an oppertunity calling. :p

I could see Pumpkins selling pretty well with scary face shapes for halloween. That would be kind of neat.
Though i do like roasting the seeds... hard choice. :(

love the shoes. They got snatched up.

A neat idea, but I've got mixed feelings... I mean... not to be mean to mechanics, but I'm just not sure I want a grill that makes me look like one of those rednecks with car parts all over their yard.

Why oregon... why is it always oregon? I hear of too many weird things going on in this state.
Must be all the fresh air. :P

Note that both authors: Alan S. Miller and Satoshi Kanazawa are MALES.

cute idea. I wonder what sort of plant grows out.

hmm...the smokers i know would never wear that. 1. too much effort for a quick smoke. 2. Looking stupid.

OMg..wrist and ankle action! This is NSFTW!

(not safe for turkish work) ^_-

I think i liked Trafalgar square better when they covered it with grass that one time. This, is just depressing.

Have you ever bought slightly old mushrooms at the store, and brought them home in a paper bag, then opened the bag and took a good smell?

Now imagine the funk in your walls. MMmm dirty socks.
