"sport cheats' management claim drug use can have positive effects" Ugh. Now that's just misleading and inaccurate. It's one thing to try drawing people into an article, it's another thing to lie about what's inside. It pre-prejudices people to a certain point of view. It's hard to make up your own mind

My response after following the link and reading the article is going to have to be different from what my response was going to be before doing so. My original response based just on your article was going to be a minor defense of the "journalist." Having worked at various print and media outlets, it's my experience that most journalists don't write their own headlines. Therefore, had this been a newspaper article it's highly possibl

"Pigs and painting, Peter" Cool. I like that. One painting in particular stuck in my mind, sort of a colonnade at evening. The technique was fantastic. They also had some Churchill artifacts, like a leisuresuit he wore

Most versions of windows have a "character map" where you can select many symbols from. Yes, Macintosh has something similar called "KeyCaps." I find it fairly frustrating, though. It works by showing a keyboard and what you get by pressing that key. When you press the modifier keys the display changes

Aside from declaring it or ending it, politicians need to stay out of war. ( There 's a group who didn't learn their lesson after Vietnam.) U.S.-declared war on terror I have a problem with that. The terrorists declared war on us first. It's bad journalism in that, to me, it expresses

what about regular name dropping though? I've thought about that. I think the same rules apply -- if it's relevant than go ahead, but if it's done out of some psychological need to associate with that person and hope their ethos rubs off on you, nope. (That sounds so high school. "Do you know Katie? K

I even had someone actually BRAG one time because he was able to "restrain himself" and reply to me without a single profanity in his post. Of course, his buddies then sang his praises Isn't it interesting when people praise themselves for doing what they should be doing anyway. (And that's only a comme

I had no idea some people could get so passionate over soup. (Did Jackie Mason just visit my blog?) What are you, FIVE ? Wife reaches over fridge, behind cookbooks, pulls out a bottle of Johnny Walker. <img src="../

A man comes to a bridge that crosses a large ravine. The bridge has a maximum capacity of 200 lbs. The man weighs 190 lbs. and he is carrying three 5 lb. bowling balls. The ravine is too far to throw, roll, or float the balls across, yet he crosses the bridge with all three balls in a single trip. How?

A hundred and one divided by fifty, followed by nothing: one of nine. The answer is Clio, the Muse of history. Start with roman numerals... 101 = CI "divided by fifty" means physically shove them apart with L (50), not perform math. Hence, CLI Nothing is zero, or 0. So,

i wish dogs could talk Sometimes I wish I could understand what my cat was trying so desperately to tell me. Then I change my mind when I realize it would probably be, "Whatchya doing?

is innuendo back in fashion ? It's called misdirection. Like a magic trick, the answer isn't what you think but is obvious once you know what it is. (Don't blame me, I just opened the rogue email. <img src="../images/smiles/grim.gif" bord

Dan's dad already posted this. Sorry bro. Shame, shame, shame. (It's not any less funny since you didn't write it, though. )

you have a rooster, a fox, and a bag of grain. you must transport each of them to a nearby island via a rowboat. you may carry only one thing at a time. the catch: the rooster will eat the grain and the fox will eat the rooster, so you cannot leave those two things together on either shore. you may make as many trips as you want,

Coincidentally I found this riddle tonight while cleaning out my inbox: Schwarzenegger has a big one Michael J. Fox has a small one Madonna doesn't have one The Pope has one but doesn't use his Clinton uses his all the time Mickey Mouse has an unusual one Liberace never used his on women Jerry Seinfeld is very, very proud of his. Cher claims that she took on 3 We never saw Lucy use Desi's
