More Frankly Wierd News About Using Dna...

Austria Lawmaker Wants to ID Dog DroppingsA local Vienna politician wants to use DNA technology to chase down owners of dogs that leave their droppings on streets and sidewalks. Say WHAT? I'd have to wonder if this guy's got a sweetheart deal with the lab that'll do the DNA analyses and plans to pad his "retirement fund."

Wanna Get Your Blood Pumping?

If you like good music that'll get your blood pumping, get a copy of the "National Treasure" soundtrack. Most of the pieces have a modern sound but they'e all performed by a large studio orchestra. For best results, play it on a powerful system with a good subwoofer and crank it up! There's a of really driving low-end that doesn't reproduce as well on a normal range player. (Don't intend to mislead anyone. The music ISN'T dance music. It's just that the smilies above were all I could

What Is Up With Folks In The Uk?

Wardens get DNA kit to trap spitting drivers I could understand the reasonableness of this if all the spitters followed up with physical assaults , but doing DNA ID for someone who simply displays his bad attitude with spittle? Now if it extended to that might be a different story.

A Little Laugh...at Least I Did...

The main Yahoo site today (5 May 2005) had the dual pic below as part of a link advertising the new "Star Wars" movie. When I passed my cursor over the pic, the pop-up id box said "Olsen Twins." :grin: Dang, those girls aren't handling aging very well!

Some Good One-liners For That Rare Occasion...

A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies: 1. "Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!"2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?" 3. "Can you hear me NOW?" 4. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" 5. "You know, in Arkansas, we're now legally married." 6. "Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?" 7. "You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out..." 8. "

Don't Read If You're Eating....

Well, Here's Your Trouble Right Here, Sir... BANGKOK (Reuters) - Doctors found around 50 maggots in the ears of an 84-year-old Thai man after he went to hospital complaining of an itch. Wednesday's Nation newspaper said Anan Temtan, who lives in the tsunami-hit southern resort island of Phuket, had used cotton buds to relieve the itching, but had scratched so hard his eardrums ruptured and started bleeding. "We believe flies might have gone inside his ears to lay eggs, which hatched into larv

Boy, Did I Miss The Boat...

As some of you read in one of my previous entries, we had a pretty severe hail storm back in mid-March. I visually checked my roof from the ground (you ain't getting me to climb up there!) and didn't see any obvious damage. Found out last week that a neighbor (whose roof was a lot newer than mine) had his inspected by the insurance and they said he had MAJOR damage from that storm and put through a claim for roof replacement.Decided I better do the same thing.

Might Be A Good Idea...

Thought for the day (from an e-mail buddy):If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraqi theater during the last 22 months, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.The rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000.That means that you are 25% more likely to be shot and killed in our nation's capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq. :wtf:Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington, D.C.

Called It Too Soon...

Went out late this afternoon and discovered that my wife's small greenhouse bit the dust in the last storms. Didn't have the tornados that were feared but did have enough wind to take out the greenhouse. May not be recoverable, the metal frame is bent in several places.
