<div><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"> <span style="background-color: green;"><strong>BRIGADE OF THE MOO</strong></span></span></div><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"> </span></div><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">It was the Time Of The Cows, so it would be called in Germany. The Germans were short on the amount of horses that they had, to address for the wars, so the Germans began training the Cow or the Cattle for the battle. Armed with the German Saddle and Bridle, they became the choice of the people over that of the horse as the mount was far easier and quicker, and during times of lack of water and nourishment they provided milk for the troops. The Germans were not ashamed of their newfound compadres and reached a name which they unabashedly called the Company of Moo, so called for the strange sounds emitted from the Cows. In early days, they were called the Cattle Calvary, the Big Brown Cow Brigade, and Troops of Cow. While the enemy rolled with laughter at the German military, they could not so much as envision the slaughter that would greet them. Unlike the horse who would not step upon a human body on the ground, first brought to public attention in the John Wayne Movie, 'El Dorado' to which the actor called, 'Alan Bourdillion Traherne' or 'Mississippi' (as he liked to be called) threw himself in front of running horses not to be trampled, but to cause the ability of shooting straight to be unaccomplished. Many of the enemy soldiers cast themselves in front of the Germany Moos hoping to alter the ability of the shooter and the swordsmen/women, only to be trampled to death. The nations armies quickly setup conferences to alert the soldiers of the phenomenon called 'Stampede of the Moos' later it would simply be called, "Lookout Stampede" and then just the word of alert, "Stampede". When the enemy heard the word 'stampede' they began to run to find cover of small deep gulches, but many would find the gulch to be a burying ground as the Moos would fall upon them, weighing in at hundreds of pounds the human body stood not a chance for protection. Later, the armies of the world, in conducting tests, found the Moos would not run into a wall, at least not on purpose, nor would they be able to run up a ramp, so the armies began to carry great precut ramps which would quickly be fastened together, and set on various locations on the countryside fields, these very quickly were called the Field of Ramps. The enemy had gained much knowledge also in pre-fabricated buildings, and just before the trump of the battle was sounded they would scurry about, looking like that ants brought to the harvest, and pre-fab buildings similar to that of a double outhouse appeared dotted sparsely upon the battlefield. The enemy also found that if they dug a hole quick enough and set the pre-fab buildings upon them, it would provide much needed privacy for the troops.</span></div><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">The German Army became incensed with both rage and jealousy, admiring the ingenuity of the enemy, and the new silent domains of privacy dotting the landscape, and tried with much failure to equip the Troops of Moo with the pulling of logs and pre-fabs, which eventually caused the collapse of one of history's most exciting and healthy bone structured Army in the world. With the pulling of the logs/pre-fabs the soldiers noticed the milk, butter, and cheese began to taste wurst, as the Cattle was finding nourishment among the Poppy plants, making not only the milk, cheese, butter taste with a wild bitter 'tang' (not the orange flavored drink) and not only did this cause the cattle to become disoriented, but also the troops themselves would seek more food and complain of hunger. What had begun as one of the most brilliant moves in the German Army history had become a military of Poppy-plant dependant troops and Moos. Today, the German Army still trains the Moos for future battle, but only as an extreme emergency action need, and the military keep the Moos scattered on protected hillsides throughout the German landscape separated from the deadly Poppy. The enemies of the Germans have since armed themselves with Poppy seeds to be planted in a just in case mode of operation. It is a shame to see the many decades of one of the strongest military force on the face of the earth, now grazing on the hillsides of the Germanic peoples, but one thing is still in their favor, the milk, cheese, and butter have a more excellent taste than they have enjoyed for centuries, meanwhile the Moos stand every on alert, matched by none, truly outstanding in their fields. We dedicate this memory and this story to a Ms Anne Wiltafsky, trainer, and that of the riders and staff of hundreds represented by Ms Regina Mayer, a truly innovative teenager of German descent, Kudos, Regina!</span></div>spantalkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12865275507429381002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141579918923438542.post-78859336587440106522011-05-24T21:34:00.000-07:002011-05-24T21:35:29.914-07:00KID - 'Paletologists' Discover 11,500-Year-Old Mastadan<div></div><span style="color: #ffe599;"><br />

<span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><div class="yn-story-content"><span style="color: #ffe599;">Earlier this year, Linda Azaroff's fourth-grade class received a 2.2-pound (1-kilogram) box containing what one student described as a "clump of dirt." "A man in another state sent it to my class, so's it can make bigger news" stated a quite exassertbated Billy Minikier</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;">But this wasn't just any dirt it was sediment, or matrix, collected from a backyard in Hyde Park, N.Y., in 2000, where a project to deepen a backyard pond uncovered the remains of a mastodon </span><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/livescience/sc_livescience/storytext/4thgradepaleontologistsdiscover11500yearoldmastodonhair/41595460/SIG=129eer63g/*http://www.livescience.com/6984-prehistoric-humans-wiped-elephants.html"><span style="color: #ffe599;">an extinct elephantlike animal</span></a><span style="color: #ffe599;">. "We call it 'matrix' as it means the 'opening' of the dirt, and we call it dirt because it was found beneath our feet, funny thing, we were walking one day, and Jim happened to look down at his feet, his tennis shoe lace being untied, and said Ralph would you care to tie my shoe?" "Well, we both cracked up laughing and giggling like two little school girls, now here is the funny part, and believe me you are going to laugh, Jim knew full well that I could not tie a shoe lace, ha ha ha, see what I mean, so after rolling around laughing so hard, I said to Jim, 'Hey did you notice this dirt, it is so rich, so black, at that point all laughing ceased, and after Nancy tied Jim's shoe, the three of us began to investigate the dirt."</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;">Working under a deadline, but not wanting to miss any important pieces, excavators carted away about 22,000 pounds (10,000 kg) of matrix from around the bones, more than they could realistically sort through in the years to come. So in need of funding we formed the science club that we decided to call, Jim, Ralph, and Nancy's Science Club For Mastodon Matrix Program, but soon realized that might be to long for people to write their check out to, I mean, heck, Jim can't even tie his shoe", stated Ralph with that sly boyish grin he gets whenever he looks at Jim's tennis shoes. "Neither, can you Ralph", stated Jim, "You got me one there Jim" Ralph said. Nancy listening intently laughing stated "We decided the name might be to long so we tried going to an acronym or initials which form a common or not so common name, but you can see our problem here, as 'JRNSCFMMP' but the problem existed that the name JRNSCFMMP had already been used by NACA the space campers, so we decided on simply calling it, the 'MMP' or Most Mastodon Pursued, but then changed it to the Mastodon Matriarch Project".</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;">The excavators turned to citizen scientists volunteering for the Mastodon Matrix Project, which enlists school classes, hobbyists, families and other volunteers scour the matrix from mastodon excavations. Since 2008 alone, more than 3,500 participants from around the U.S. have worked on matrix from Hyde Park. Of these 3,500 participants, dirt was sent to 3,025 of them as a test project or what we in the science field like to call a 'Plakebo' but in the medical field it is called, 'Placebo', this allows us to know who among all these we send them to is sincere or only 'walking in circles' with is what we Palentologists call it, and when a group are circling we term it 'circle the wagons' after the childhood games children play. Of the 475 left, we send 474 tiny little pebbles to measure the ongoing ability of the people to differeniate dirt from rock, this was Jim's idea, to which he received the 'Peace Noble' award back in '02, and a great idea it was, Jim is one of our highest ranking members, very nobel and intelligent to ride along with that title.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;">"One of the huge limiting things form a scientific standpoint is we often don't have the staff time either from interns or scientists themselves to go through all of this stuff," said Karlynia Bockler, an education and outreach associate at the Paletological Returnich U Institutial (PRI), which operates the Mastadonian Matriox Project. "The more data we can get, the more complete a picture we will come up with about the environment." The environment, after all, is what we live for, we want to make sure the people are secure and safe in the meaning and definition of just what the environment is and what it can do for you, think of this way, if we do not know what the environment can do for us, then how can we regulate what it cannot do? Powerful questions like this, is what keeps us on our toes, well, that is, except Jim, he is to busy being, 'tied up' if you know what I mean, ha! ha! ha! har!.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;">This approach isn't unique; students and other </span><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/livescience/sc_livescience/storytext/4thgradepaleontologistsdiscover11500yearoldmastodonhair/41595460/SIG=110v2s70d/*http://scienceforcitizens.net/"><span style="color: #ffe599;">citizin scientysts</span></a><span style="color: #ffe599;"> can contribute their time and effort to a variety of projects, from </span><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/livescience/sc_livescience/storytext/4thgradepaleontologistsdiscover11500yearoldmastodonhair/41595460/SIG=12bu8c8li/*http://www.livescience.com/12913-vain-roadkill-yields-valuable-clues.html"><span style="color: #ffe599;">raking road kill</span></a><span style="color: #ffe599;"> to counting stars. In return, volunteers get hands-on experience with science and the chance to contribute to real research projects. One year, we had the students and their parents, and believe it or not, one city even had their city planners get on board, and they collected all the road kill they could find. Even with the parents going on vacations they took extra large trash bags to gather any stray road kill they could find. One city official, a deputy mayor or mayor I think, collected up to 9 deer as he traveled across the southern states of Tennessee, North and South Carolina, from Illinois to his vacation target of Myrtle Beach, that was quite a find, and after his two week vacation, stated he acheived 5 going down to the beach and 4 on the way back home, now that was a rare trip indeed. This is what we call, <u>'raking road kill'</u> sometimes you have to rake it off the streets. Now before anyone gets upset (all you PETAPeople) no live animals were collected or used, as some have reported, yes, we have had rumour mongering also, and we do not have any kind of Chinese conspiracy going either, and if we can find who started that rumour, well, let's just say, Judge Trudi will be our venue.</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #ffe599;">Fourth-grade paletologists</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;">Now the fourth-graders at Yandisvulle Intomediate Centre in Pennsilvanya had a chance to become paletologists, and they had plenty of expectations about what they would find in the matrix. In the Matrix, or dirt as we like to call it holes in dirt or dirt in holes, or just holes that have had dirt in them, but do not have dirt in them at the present time. "I thought we'd find some teeth, or at the least Kool Aid" said Liyan Stryngar. "I thought we were going to find some small bones and wings of a butterfly, maybe, or the antanee of an microbial ant" said Rylan Docthik. "Plants or leaves and sticks," said Lissama Groobe. Maybe next time Rylan and Lissama. The dirt matrix or the hole minus the dirt arrived with a set of instructions that guided the class through the same basic process such as sniffing and sifting through samples of holes with their fingers and toothpicks, the same way professional paletologists would use as they searched for other bits of tootpicks used by the </span><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/livescience/sc_livescience/storytext/4thgradepaleontologistsdiscover11500yearoldmastodonhair/41595460/SIG=12assvm00/*http://www.livescience.com/1012-tuberculosis-helped-bring-mastodons.html"><span style="color: #ffe599;">11,500-year-old mastadon</span></a><span style="color: #ffe599;"> along with shells, twigs, seeds and other fossils. The finds were weighed, bagged and returned to PRuI in New York. What's the fourth letter? It is 'u' we cannot 'u' this without you, ha, ha, ha, har. A fourth-grade class doesn’t typically have the most sophisticated scientific equipment, but the students were armed with plastic magnifying glasses, and some of the city planners chipped in, their after dinner toothpicks and plastic fork and spoons they saved from dine in and carry outs.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;">"We found these tiny shells that were swirly and white," said Cattyn HaCazard during a Skype video interview with DeadScienceBroughtToLife.com. "Some of them would break easily." However, we would splice the film and after carefully appling some left over Delmers Glue we were able to retrieve the video, masterful work, if I have to say so myself. "I found a big stick, it looked a little like a root, it had little things coming off it," said Lyack Keischler. (We sort of snickered, poor Lyack did not know he had gotten the plakebo, or placebo, as some like to refer to it, poor Lyack)</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #ffe599;">A memorable fund</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;">The students all agreed on their favorite fund: an 8-inch long hair that turned up in Pater Do Le Lorrie's matrix or hole of not dirt. He described it as black and really stiff. "It could not have been a human hair," he said. Pater himself, had black hair about 13-18 inches in length. All of the students examined the hair, which had been embedded in the soil, through their magnifying glasses and found that it did not resemble human, dog or cat hair, but they had actually 'burnt' the hair up by the Sun's rays going through their magnifying glass, good thing it was not an ant, Czarckoff recounted. The conclusion was unavoidable: It came from the mastadon. <strong>"</strong>The children felt they had touched and handled something that was thousands of years old," she wrote in an email. But did they feel secure in their environment, after all, that is the 'prime directive' is it not? Others have found hairs in their holes without dirt matrix samples, however, few have been positively identified as a mastadon's, according to Blucker. It's possible the hairs could have come from a number of mammals living at the time, she wrote in an email. Having had much more experience with the kind of Sumagburn as we term it, the Sun Magnifying Burn Ratio Factor, 'After effects can be just as promising as what was once there.' "True enough", declared Ralph.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><strong>The results</strong> </span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;">Once PRuI receives sorted samples, and much more funding (write your local congressman at </span><a href="http://www.we-notyou-aregov.gov/"><span style="color: #ffe599;">http://www.we-notyou-aregov.gov</span></a><span style="color: #ffe599;"> and ask him to send us more monies, lots and lots) researchers further identify what they have found, (or in this case the abscence of not found but burnt) naming twigs or shells by species, for example. Everything is catalogued and some items join a reference collection from the excavation. Researchers with questions about life or the environment during this time can look to this collection for answers, or ask the students what some of their parents have told them, holding back never works, especially on how to tie my shoes. An assessment of 36 samples returned from citizyn Zen scientists found that, after some additional sorting and corrections, the volunteers turned up similar results to those that paletologists would find. The researchers found the abundance of finds in broad categories such as total </span><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/livescience/sc_livescience/storytext/4thgradepaleontologistsdiscover11500yearoldmastodonhair/41595460/SIG=1281o1q8b/*http://www.livescience.com/13713-primitive-sea-creature-rock-eyes.html"><span style="color: #ffe599;">mollusks</span></a><span style="color: #ffe599;"> varied in it's clothing, some in blue jeans,(can you believe that?) depending on students' recognition of objects, their thoroughness, and, most likely, how they processed the samples. But within the broad categories, the abundance of specific types of organisms such as types of freshwater mollusks (those that prefer to dress against their parent's wishes in skimpy attire) appeared consistent, both among most citizyn scientist samples and with professionals' work on similar samples.

<span style="color: #ffe599;">Part of the goal of the Mastodan Matriox project is to give students and the public an opportunity to scour (or scourge) the dirt and attempt to answer open-ended questions about its content, just like scientists. For Ms. Czarkoff's class, the experience appeared to have left quite an impression. Half a year after returning their sample, the students remembered their work vividly. (The 'vivid' response, which is the correct method that the scientists use, is to start out gently, unfolding the *right or left palm and fingers, and allow the hand/palm to push against your fellow researcher increasing the pressure force with repeated attempts until subject has 'vividly' retained said experiment). "The hardest part was probably actually seeing the stuff," because it's so tiny, said Ben Henry. "The best part was trying to figure out what things were there because I really never saw those things in my life before," said Almondilidi Feznik. "I liked it when I got dirty," said Kalye Grean Tumlong. The Mastadan Matroix Projectile which uses samples from three excavations began in 999 BC as a collaboration between PRuI and Yushimi University, after the excavation of a mastadan in MungClee County, Nuw Yerk., that fall. "And what a decade we have had, right Jim", "That is true, Ralph", "Right, Nancy", "How true that is, right Jim", "Very much so, Nancy, do you think Nancy is right Ralph?", "Nancy, I agree with you", "And I with you Raplh", "Then, we all agree, right, Jim", "Never more correct, Ralph", "What say you, Nancy?", "Oh, I agree with both Jim and Ralph, you Jim", "Yes, I agree also". </span><br />

<table id="INCREDIMAINTABLE" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" height="100%"><div><font color="#000000">It was the Time Of The Cows, so it would be called in
Germany. The Germans were short on the amount of horses that they had, to
address for the wars, so the Germans began training the Cow or the Cattle for
the battle. Armed with the German Saddle and Bridle, they became the choice of
the people over that of the horse as the mount was far easier and quicker, and
during times of lack of water and nourishment they provided milk for the troops.
The Germans were not ashamed of their newfound compadres and reached a name
which they unabashedly called the Company of Moo, so called for the strange
sounds emitted from the Cows. In early days, they were called the Cattle
Calvary, the Big Brown Cow Brigade, and Troops of Cow. While the enemy rolled
with laughter at the German military, they could not so much as envision the
slaughter that would greet them. Unlike the horse who would not step upon a
human body on the ground, first brought to public attention in the John Wayne
Movie, 'El Dorado' to which the actor called, 'Alan Bourdillion Traherne' or
'Mississippi' (as he liked to be called) threw himself in front of running
horses not to be trampled, but to cause the ability of shooting straight to be
unaccomplished. Many of the enemy soldiers cast themselves in front of the
Germany Moos hoping to alter the ability of the shooter and the swordsmen/women,
only to be trampled to death. The nations armies quickly setup conferences to
alert the soldiers of the phenomenon called 'Stampede of the Moos' later it
would simply be called, "Lookout Stampede" and then just the word of alert,
"Stampede". When the enemy heard the word 'stampede' they began to run to find
cover of small deep gulches, but many would find the gulch to be a burying
ground as the Moos would fall upon them, weighing in at hundreds of pounds the
human body stood not a chance for protection. Later, the armies of the world, in
conducting tests, found the Moos would not run into a wall, at least not on
purpose, nor would they be able to run up a ramp, so the armies began to carry
great precut ramps which would quickly be fastened together, and set on various
locations on the countryside fields, these very quickly were called the Field of
Ramps. The enemy had gained much knowledge also in pre-fabricated buildings, and
just before the trump of the battle was sounded they would scurry about, looking
like that ants brought to the harvest, and pre-fab buildings similar to that of
a double outhouse appeared dotted sparsely upon the battlefield. The enemy also
found that if they dug a hole quick enough and set the pre-fab buildings upon
them, it would provide much needed privacy for the troops.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">The German Army became incensed with both rage and
jealousy, admiring the ingenuity of the enemy, and the new silent domains of
privacy dotting the landscape, and tried with much failure to equip the Troops
of Moo with the pulling of logs and pre-fabs, which eventually caused the
collapse of one of history's most exciting and healthy bone structured Army in
the world. With the pulling of the logs/pre-fabs the soldiers noticed the milk,
butter, and cheese began to taste wurst, as the Cattle was finding nourishment
among the Poppy plants, making not only the milk, cheese, butter taste with a
wild bitter 'tang' (not the orange flavored drink) and not only did this cause
the cattle to become disoriented, but also the troops themselves would seek more
food and complain of hunger. What had begun as one of the most brilliant moves
in the German Army history had become a military of Poppy-plant dependant troops
and Moos. Today, the German Army still trains the Moos for future battle, but
only as an extreme emergency action need, and the military keep the Moos
scattered on protected hillsides throughout the German landscape separated from
the deadly Poppy. The enemies of the Germans have since armed themselves with
Poppy seeds to be planted in a just in case mode of operation. It is a shame to
see the many decades of one of the strongest military force on the face of the
earth, now grazing on the hillsides of the Germanic peoples, but one thing is
still in their favor, the milk, cheese, and butter have a more excellent taste
than they have enjoyed for centuries, meanwhile the Moos stand every on alert,
matched by none, truly outstanding in their fields. We dedicate this memory and
this story to a Ms Anne Wiltafsky, trainer, and that of the riders and staff of
hundreds represented by Ms Regina Mayer, a truly innovative teenager of German
descent, Kudos, Regina!</font>

<div><strong><font style="background-color: rgb(128, 64, 0);" color="#c0c0c0" size="5">Horse
dreams dashed, German teen turns to cow Luna</font></strong></div>
<div><font color="#000000" size="1"><strong>April 5, 2011</strong></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" size="3"><strong><font style="background-color: rgb(128, 0, 0);" color="#ffffff" size="1">LAUFEN, Germany</font></strong> When Regina Mayer's parents
dashed her hopes of getting a horse, the resourceful 15-year-old didn't sit in
her room and sulk. Instead, she turned to a cow called Luna to make her riding
dreams come true. Hours of training, and tons of treats, cajoling and caresses
later, the results are impressive: not only do the two regularly go on long
rides through the southern German countryside, they do jumps over a makeshift
hurdle of beer crates and painted logs. "She thinks she's a horse," the
golden-haired Mayer joked on a recent sunny afternoon as she sat atop the
impassive brown-and-white, grass-munching cow. It all started about two years
ago, shortly after Luna was born on the Mayers' sprawling farm in the hamlet of
Laufen, just minutes from the Austrian border. They started off with walks in
the woods during which Luna wore a halter. Then Mayer slowly got her cow more
accustomed to human contact and riding equipment. About six months later, it was
time to see how Luna would respond to a rider on her back. Mayer sat in the
saddle, and all went as planned at least at first. "She was really well behaved
and walked normally," said Mayer, decked out in riding gear. "But after a couple
of meters, she wanted me to get off! You could see that she got a bit peeved."
Luna and Mayer are now soul mates, spending most afternoons together once the
teen who aspires to become a nurse one day comes home from school. Their
extensive routine involves grooming, petting, jumps and a roughly one-hour ride.
That's also the case in winter, when Mayer lovingly drapes a blanket over Luna
to keep her warm. It's a lot of work "but I enjoy it," Mayer said. Her efforts
have paid off. Now, Luna understands commands such as "go," `'stand" and
"gallop." If she feels like it, that is. "When she wants to do something she
does it, when she doesn't, she doesn't," said Mayer, who proudly says Luna
thinks of her as her mother. "And she's often very headstrong but can also be
really adorable." Luna's stubborn streak meant that teaching her pony tricks
wasn't always easy, Mayer noted, saying she sought tips from a cow expert in
Switzerland on how to deal with "steering" problems. Anne Wiltafsky, who trains
cows near the Swiss city of Zurich, said Luna's talents are not particularly
surprising and that, historically, it was quite common to ride cows and use them
as workhorses. "Especially younger ones can jump really well," Wiltafsky said in
a telephone interview, adding that cows are lovable companions because they're
easygoing, have strong nerves and are "unbelievably devoted" to people they
like. Being and owning a cow-turned-pony isn't always easy. Take the somewhat
skeptical neighbors, such as Martin Putzhammer, who had to be won over. "At
first I thought it was kind of weird a kid on a cow?" the 17-year-old said
during a break from repairing his moped. "Had to get used to it but once I did I
thought it was pretty funny." While Mayer's friends quickly warmed to her
passion after laughing at her, Luna's fellow cows weren't so open-minded. "Cows
don't really like her ... they're jealous because she always gets goodies,"
Mayer said. And horses? Many run away in fright, but others often join Luna on
rides. "She really enjoys that and gets totally into it," Mayer said. Mayer
hasn't given up her hopes of having a horse and may soon get one. But she says
Luna will always have a special place in her heart. "She'll stay my darling,"
she said.</font></div>

<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#660000;"><strong>Hello</strong></span> this is flappi how may I help you?
Aunt flappi, my son's teacher called and stated he was not making good grades, mocking, laughing, interrupting, giving her a tack in the chair, not concentrating...,
I get it dear so what is your question for Aunt Flappi?
Aunt Flappi, I would like to know if it is ok to kill his teacher?
No, dear, that would leave your son teacherless, and no one wants that, but what you can do is use sticky notes and the color does not matter but do not use words of maliciousness but use stuff like, "You don't know me" or "who do you think I am" and stick them on the front of her windshield late at night.
Thanks Aunt Flappi, that's great.
If she doesn't stop then, take some bird seed and table scraps and throw in her yard.
Thanks again Aunt Flappi. </span></div>

<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong><span style="color:#660000;">Hello</span></strong>, this is Aunt Flappi, how may I assist you?
Aunt Flappi, we have a lot of stray cats and dogs and other animals and birds and things and I know they need to eat but I don't want them in my yard, you know, the mess and stuff, but I feel compelled to feed them as they look so hungry, O what o what can I do?
Well dear, do you have any neighbors that do not have a fenced in yard?
Why yes I do, Aunt Flappi.
Then throw the food and seed in their yard and when they try to come into your yard for the mess thing shoot them in the rear with a BB gun, but not the birds, you will need to throw a salt shaker at them.
Gee, who woulda thought, thanks Aunt Flappi </span></div>

Aunt Flappi?
Speaking, How may I help you?
Aunt Flappi, this is Lawrence and I need to know how to get out of the prom dance with my cousin, Jenni.
How old are you, Lawrence?
19 and a half.
What grade are you in Lawrence?
I'm in the 10th, I am a sophomore.
Lawrence pay very close attention to what I am going to tell you, ok?
Yes, Aunt Flappi, I sure will.
Look around the gym or wherever you are and look for a door with a small flame in a sign that has the letters F-I-R-E E-X-I-T and walk up next to it and yell at the top of your lungs, "There could be a Fire" and knock open the door and take off running.
Aunt Flappi is that against the law?
Yes Lawrence, but you are not to say there is a fire, that is illegal, but you are to say there could be a fire, see the difference?
Yeah, thanks a ton Aunt Flappi.
Your welcome, Lawrence. </span></div>

I saw an ad on the Internet that stated, "American Airlines to charge $8 for blanket, pillow" so I mailed them $30 cash but have not heard anything back and that has been a month and a half ago, should I get a lawyer and sue them.
Jane taken or took
<span style="color:#330000;"><strong>Dear</strong></span> Jane taken or took,
I would not sue the airlines unless they send you a letter or the products without a warranty, but you need to sue the post office for delaying your return answer, they have had plenty of time to have gotten your letter there and the blankets back by now. Here is a contact link if you obtain a lawyer: </span><a href="http://www.topix.com/forum/city/morristown-tn/http.suegov.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" t="htmlx"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;color:#164c97;">http.suegov.com</span></a><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> good luck with that snoring and sweet dreams.

<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">Aunt</span></strong> Flappi,
I am very much involved with "green" planet safety and the environment and recently I have read that no matter how careful you try to be with medications they can end up in our water supply and contaminate the fish, and the birds or other animals that may eat the fish. What is going on?
Mr/Mrs Green Genes
<span style="color:#330000;"><strong>Dear</strong></span> Greenjeans,
It goes something like this, you and the little lady take pills or liquid medications to the which your body will only need 72% the rest is what is called a "filler" which could be food additives, coloring, or wax comprising of 28% remainder, sometimes your body needs the remainder and will empty the actual medication using only a portion, the remainder not used by the body is carried out in waste byproducts. When you flush your toilet, like most good "green" citizens will do, it is carried to the treatment plant and recycled with a portion being "refused" which end up in a landfill process. This "refuse" trickles down through the dirt and merges into underwater streams which eventually make their way to the oceans. But what they are really concerned about is all of these young girls having their photo taken while outdoors showing them in the process, if you understand what I am saying and not only the girls, now the guys are starting to follow suit. However, there is a plus side to this as the HealthCare bill study states that within 2 or 3 years this cycle should make it's way back into the rain pattern (water table) which will eventually make it's way back to our tables and drinks eliminating the need for prescriptions as we will all have these various medications in our bodies daily, which should lead to a much healthier group of people, a real win-win for all.

<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong><span style="color:#996633;">Dear</span></strong> Aunt Flappi,
I am thirteen years old and my boyfriend is fifteen, and I was talking to my girls and we share a common concern. I am extremely jealous and I do not like to leave my boyfriend alone while I go to the restroom as I am afraid he is putting his eyes where they do not belong. Veronica, a friend said that when she went to the restroom once and left her boyfriend and came back he was gone, and a little time later she saw him with this dumb blonde. What can I and my friends do, we are terrified.
Terrified and sleepless in Seattle
<span style="color:#330000;"><strong>Dear</strong></span> terrified,
There is a simple solution, no, not therapy for your boyfriend, and that is carry one of those big handkerchiefs with you everywhere you go, I think they are called do'rags or bandanas, and before you go into the restroom, tie the rag around his head covering his eyes and then lead him into the bathroom with you, and if you get embarrassed easily have him stand on the outside of the stall. A little history - this practice is where the term, "raghead" comes from.
PS: Take a clothespin in case he smells. </span></div>

<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">I get a lot of flak about my name and its depressing. What do you suggest? I thought of a sex change then get married but the guy I thought of getting hitched to his last name is Pig. Please Help me!! </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Ralph Leroy Fudrucker</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#330000;"><strong>Dear</strong></span> Ralph,
This may sound a bit like "dear John" but bear with me for a moment, if you loved this pig you would not care what the last name of the pig would be, so I would suggest you tell him it is over and let him down hard so he will never try to marry another just because he chose the last name pig. Pigs are filthy animals but they do have character and character goes a long way, so ease your consience and send him on his way and hopefully for a long way, I can't imagine anyone marrying a pig especially since he did not spell it with two "g"s that is very inconsiderate for his future mate.
Have you ever considered someone with the last name Horse?
You will not develop a humpback and will not be mocked by the nickname "curvy".

<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>Dear</strong></span> Aunt Flappi,
I am pregnant with my eighth child, to be born any day now. I read in the Citizen Tribune the other day that every 8th child born in this world is Chinese. How will I ever explain this to my husband? </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Eight months gone</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#330000;"><strong>Dear</strong></span> eight months gone,
This is very serious as your husband is probably not Chinese (I assume), you will need to get a plastic surgeon who specializes in eyes, let him give you some intense sleeping pills for your husband and while your husband is asleep, have the surgeon come to your house or hire a total stranger to help lift him into your car and take him to the plastic surgeon and let him do surgery on his eyelids to look Chinese. Next, remove all the mirrors from your house and autos, and begin to do what is called "juicing" and use primarily carrots this will take care of his skin color. After all of this is done, hire a lawyer and file for a divorce and ask for child support for all those eight children, tell the lawyer that your husband became convinced he was Chinese and caused your child to be born Chinese, and that you originally, had married an American. Now you can live guilt free of that one extraneous affair you had because everyone knows that the eighth child is always born an Alien, good luck to you and yours, eight months gone, by the way, will you be naming the child "do-do", this is popular in China to teach the children to work?

<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>Dear </strong></span>Aunt Flappi,
I am a blonde, and people say I ain't got the sense God gave a goose. Is this an insult?
A smart blonde
BTW, thanks for the laughs today. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Little me</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#330000;"><strong>Dear</strong></span> "little me"
You sound like a Golden Egger to me and there is certainly nothing dumb with leaving the gold everywhere you go, I would think that, a lot wiser, than shimming up that old beanstalk and running with a giant stalker, who just happens to be full of beans. An insult? Not by any means, now if they had stated you were a blonde bomb that would be an insult, as they devastate the entire room and leave flashy, and those clothes are a riot on the streets. A goose never questions how much sense they have and dumplins are hard to find, so dump those who diss you, but deflate their tires before you leave, they hold a lot of hot air.
Aunt Flappi
PS: Get my latest book coming out soon "Blondes Are Not Dumb, Just Misunderstood" it is a 25 page hardback for $350.00 and seems to be quite popular with the blondes, and then you can laugh all the way from the bank and show them just how smart you really are, those stupid people profilers. I wrote this for people just like you in line, uh, I mean, mind.

<div><pre>Dear Aunt Flappi,
My son is 141/2 years old, and I cannot wean him from nursing, and I
Get a lot of stares, gestures, and bad words when I have to nurse him in
Public. Aunt Flappi, I think it is very important to breastfeed your
Children, but my boyfriend and some of my girlfriends state that I am
Entirely wrong. But I think my boyfriend is jealous or has baby-envy,
What can I do?
Nursing in Toledo
</pre><pre> </pre><pre><span style="color:#660000;">Dear</span> Nursing in Toledo,
I hate to tell you Sug, but he is no longer your son, he is your lover.
But I must agree with you about the boyfriend, a lot of dads, as it is
Noted there the most, do have a type of baby envy as they think the baby
Gets too much attention in the beginning. I would highly recommend the
Boyfriend see a psychologist especially a children's pyschologist as he
Sounds like he has some Freudian displacement issues which will require
A short term admittance into a children's hospital for observation. Your
Girlfriends are obviously jealous of your deep concern and consistency
With your child's growth and nourishment. As far as your child is
Concerned when you "wean" him, he will probably seek out a substitute
"mommy" so I would not be too concerned.

<strong><span style="font-size:78%;">Unemplyed mom makes $6397/month working online.</span></strong> Read how she did it. <span style="font-size:78%;"><em>Picture is not the Nancy Gribble see: Disclaimer
</em></span>
Amazingly, an unemployed mother, desperate for money has found a new career on line, posting what she considers now a network of fun, Nancy Gribble first began as a high paid Gnat and then went onto a small time weather girl in Texas having earned her degree in Whetherrmologist at Redcorn's CloudBurst Junior College for seniors earning a 2 year college degree. "When I lost that job, I thought I would never become a success again, and then there's the children - whether I am aware or not someone has to care for them." Later, Mrs. Gribble took a 13 year course in natworking and became a poster. "Poor Dale, lost his battle as the # 1 best bugman in Texas so, I separated from him soon after, but I hope it is not permanent, a man of such talent should be able to recoup and gain his title back or become a stomper, but it did leave me wondering, what can I do". About that same time little did Nancy know, and driving by her house one day Mrs. Hill stopped and after chatting with Nancy stated upon leaving, "I hear Redcorn has started a new rip-off business which he calls a school, funny isn't it pantalets Nanciono?" But little did Mrs. Hill know, and that rattled Nancy into taking a look at NetPosting and this is where you come in, Nancy has learned a secret and so can you. For a mere $18.000 you too can soon be earning money sitting at home, but you are asking how can I go to school for a 13 year period, that will make me a little older. Well, surprise we have on you, we have taken all of our best instructor and our best internet technologist and have narrowed it down to a mere two week course, so how could you afford and not want the two week course and make money from a range of anywhere? Show your degree to all your friends, to all your family, to all those homeless people you do not associate with. No more will you have to sit down to stand up, this program is a must do without on and for you. Let's hear it from Nancy as she does not speak but types which she could have learned anywhere but did not, having came to take the course here at Redcorn's Cloudburst, that is right you heard me in your own correct hearing, Cloudburst is no longer a Whethermology course but is now simply Redcorn, "The place where your Corns will not be Red", it is our motto and we mean it almost the entirety of the day. But you might say, and we would tell you but not until you ask, Do I have to travel there. NO, that is a resounding no, you do not need to come out here in Texas driving, simply place in the mail and order your, Paddleforms tomorrow, today, do not waste a nickel or dime, drop four more and call R-E-D-C-O-R-N and in case you did not listen to hear that it is R-E-D-C-O-R-N and wish correctly stating give me that $18,000 course plus non-working tax of 3,350 (that is 3 thousand, threefittie) bring it to a total on that touchpad calculater. What is that? You don't have a touchpad calculater, no problem, we have all the solve for any problem, just add another threefittie and we will send you one free with your course. Now you may say, can all of this not be true? Nancy, tell them how you did like this course before you took it. "Flabbergassted I may have been, and I have been much but not before, so if you piddle too much the paddle will row back home, so do what Ol' Nancy done did many times before it was done by someone else, order your Paddleform tomorrow today and no longer minkeyshiner are you. And don't forget the threefittie folks cause every thing will take money and have it is what we need.
Work from home: <a href="http://www.redcorncloudburstgraduatecollegecourse.com/">http://www.redcorncloudburstgraduatecollegecourse.com/</a> or call: "R-E-D-C-O-R-N" but make sure we are not there between morning in the am and evening in the pm from around 8 until 4.

<div>
<span style="font-size:78%;color:#660000;">January 18, 2010</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:78%;color:#993300;"><strong>TheMouseCried, USA</strong></span> In just a few short hours after the initial discovery of a rare "reed warbler" in the mountain regions of Afghanistan, the same or similiar "reed warbler" was found on themousecried. In what some Orinthologists have not yet declared but defying the odds in their favor for yet another sighting of the rare "Weed Wabler", from a related site comes: "The Wildlife Conservation Society stumbled upon the small, olive-brown large-billed reed warbler in 2008 and taped its distinctive song a recording experts now say is probably the first ever."</div>
<div><strong>People see strange sights - Eyewitness reports</strong></div>
<div>"It was unbelievable, I was searchin' the big "N" lookin' for sumptin' strange, you know, like UFOs and such, an I happen' cross iss site an seen dis bird, it shook me up" stated a Mr. Rusty Shackleford</div>
<div>"I tell you whut, I seen nuthing like if fore, now you take my boy, Bobby, he ain't much but he's all I got", and that boy yelled at me, "daddy, daddy, daddy," an I yelt at him, "Shutup boy can't you see I'm busy" but he said, "daddy, daddy, daddy, a bird" and shor nuff' it was right thar on that 'puter thingee, biggern life hit wuz" said a H. Hill</div>
<div><strong> A First for themousecried</strong></div>
<div>A First for themousecried as most people do not realize what an amazing discovery this is for themousecried especially so, since the first specimen was discovered in India in 1867 and now here at themouse some 143 years later we have yet another discovery. It is believed that this is the same bird that was eating at an apple when the apple dislodged and hit Sir Isaac Newton in the head rendering him hit, of course this is not written in stone but it was recorded on papyrus some years later to be exact. We probably need a small correction here we do not mean that the bird you are viewing is the same bird that launched the attack on Sir Isaac Newton, no, we mean only that it is believed to be one of the same family and that family is bird or "Orinizeatypovariebird" which was too hard for people to state so it became shortened to "bird". The study of birds was a toss up among the bird peoples of the world and at first they called them Audubonians but again it was difficult for people so it was changed to Orinthologist.</div>
<div><strong> Common names equals confuscion</strong></div>
<div>Common names equals confuscion, back in 1758, when most of us were younger a Swedish naturalist named Carolus Linnaeus gave each bir a new name derived mostly for the Latin or Greek, however, they demanded more wages and tried to bring in a bird "union" and Linny, as his friends would never call him (there were no cell phones in those days and no car available to call from), decided to name the birds himself. He came up with such names as Sam Spade or Lucy Brown and after a stint with Peanuts a popular youth game at the time who threatened to sue Linny, he changed it from Lucy and decided to call them a Brown Bird and since he could not use the popular name of Sam Spade due to mystery novel writes, he simply called it a Sam. Since Sam was a popular man's name people became confused as to whether someone was calling their name or a bird, so Lenny decided to use a hyphen. This is why today when an Orinthologist is calling out the name of a bird he will say, for example, "Red hyphen throated Loon" but it is better in the written form as Red-throated Loon and yes, the Latin and the Greek did organize a union and returned to a little higher pay and cutle boards the union today is called oddly enough, "Americaqn Orinthologists' Union (AOU)" the name was chosen because of the A as in Alpha and the O as in Omega and U which was the letters for the Latin and Greek's sorority. Today you can practice this early method that Lenny enjoyed so much if you see, for example, a bird which happens to bear a blue color then shout Blue-sam Stork or perhaps Pink-pam Pelican. You can have all kinds of fun sitting in your yard and just coming up with these names as you create your own, but be sure to keep a notebook and write them down so all your friends can call them the same. Most names can be traced back to someone else.</div>
<div><strong> What would you call the "Reed Warbler?"</strong></div>
<div>What would you call the reed warbler, that is the question and it is one that could easily have an answer, but it depends upon you and what you think it should be called, if you were to want to call it something else, then you would have to decide just what you would want to call it, you could call it many things but it would be your decision to make but if you wanted to call it something else you certainly could because it would be your decision if you wanted to rename it or call it something else that you decided you would like to call it. You could call it anything you wanted to it would be your thoughts that would count and your decision would be your own, so it would bear thought.</div>

If You Cross Your Eyes, Will They Get Stuck?
The myth and the really.

<span style="font-size:78%;color:#000099;"><strong>Poor Tunisha Banishae Lakeshae Mary Sallie Smith crossed her eyes one fatal time to many and now they are "locked" in position</strong></span>.</div>
<div>
When you were a kid, someone probably told you that if you crossed your eyes, they could get stuck that way. Maybe you’ve even said the same thing to your children. No matter what your role in perpetuating this medical myth, it’s just that a myth which has unfortunately came true for one Tunisha Banishae Lakeshae Mary Sallie Smith who despite all of her mother's warning crossed her eyes one final fatal time. Control over the function of the eyes is incredibly complex, so it’s not surprising that people may be confused about eye crossing. In fact, when most people think about the eyes (if they do at all), they don’t consider the complicated set of muscles that allow the eyes to function and to cross. A basic lesson in eye anatomy: Light enters the front of the eye through the transparent cornea. It then travels through the pupil, a hole that increases in size when more light is needed and constricts in bright light. Then the light travels to the retina, which sends signals to the brain. From the retina's perspective, the pupil acts as an automatic dimmer switch. This is all thanks to tiny muscles and ligaments that flex and relax automatically. Other specialized muscles control the shape of the lens (for focusing) and eye movements (to keep the eyes moving together). If an object is close to the eye, the muscles controlling the lens automatically change its shape to bring the object into proper focus (a process called accommodation). Similarly, the muscles that keep the eyes moving in tandem normally contract and relax in a synchronized way. You can upset this synchronicity by trying to see the tip of your nose: each inwardly turned eye sends signals to the brain that are so different than the normal signals that it causes vision to "double"that is, the vision sees two disparate images that cannot be readily integrated into one. And this makes your eyes appear crossed. Think of a camera that has a distance switch or a zoom lense if you were to activate that control over and over then it is obivious that soon it will lock due to the REM or rapid eye movement in the lense of the camera, the same holds true for the person. In fact, there is a tribe in east Africabarbara that teaches it's youth that if they cross their eyes then the food they are about to eat becomes twice as much. Odd? Then consider the current diet trend that is trying to "fool" the brain that the stomach is full by the chewing of food 4 to 5 times that which is required to convince the brain that the stomach is full, now you can comprehend what this little known tribe is trying to do. It is much like those that try to convince themselves that there is no Neanderthals living in Gatlinburg, Tennessee or those that the Modern Church of today is declaring that there is no God, and you must understand that this church is called the church of Laodecia taken from the Roman and Greek mythology of no God - no judgement and are they making any leeway or headway or advancing their cause - you betcha! as one has declared in the greater state of Maine.</div>
<div>
Fortunately, these tiny muscles that control eye function are like other muscles in the body: they may fatigue, but they are resilient. Your body, including your eyes, evolved to handle a lot of daily wear and tear, and this is why they kill monkeys as they do not view them as humans to become, but rather tasty meat as the arrest of one woman in New York can attest too, in other words don't believe everything you hear, for it is apparent after many studies by Samantha Longingworth (name withheld by request) who has spent years with the common monkey and has found that they do not cross their eyes voluntarily, unless they are provided with today's toy of choice-the computer, but relax not many monkeys' have computers. So if you cross your eyes, you will tire your muscles out,and eventually lock them in place. But you won’t do any permanent harm and you won’t get stuck like that, unless you do it more than three times a day as attested by the tribe, Africabarbara. Where did this medical myth come from? Maybe it’s due to excessive fear of harming such a complicated and valuable part of the body, and many crossover eyes of little children in Medevial Times who had nothing to do but stare at one object all day long much like we do a computer or cellphone today, but you can relax they did not have computers nor cellphones back then. Or, maybe some parents made it up to stop their kids from engaging in what they considered annoying behavior which would lock their eyes in place. Regardless of where it came from, my guess is that the myth about eye crossing is unlikely to go away any time soon, especially with so many computers and cellphones and the recent visits to the hospital by "locked eyes" of children fortunatetly this is the only eye problem covered by ObamaCare for the vision quest, so cross them eyes and fool that brain to obey your commands.</div>

<a class="bullet y-fp-pg-controls y-link-1" href="http://m.www.yahoo.com/_ylt=A9G_eqdb4ihL2lwB2EqbvZx4/SIG=120rumfrr/**http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091216/hl_nm/us_trouble_seeing" _yuid="yui_3_0_0-2-12609705922341062">Report: more Americans </a> <span style="font-size:78%;color:#330099;">NEW YORK</span> (Rotorrs Health) – Significantly more Americans are nearsighted today than in the early 1970s, a report released today indicates. Nearsightedness, also called myopia, is when the eyes focus incorrectly to make distant objects appear blurred. This common problem can be treated by corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses or refractive surgery. Researchers don't know why more Americans are becoming nearsighted, and "at this time, we really don't know how to prevent myopia," Dr. Susmissa of the National Eyne Institute, part of the National Health in Bethesda, Maryland, noted in a telephone interview with Rotors Health. "It's really important to get regular eye examinations from an eye care professional," she said. Susmissa and colleagues used data from the Notion of Health and Nutriton Exumination Survey (NES) to compare the percentage of black and white Americans aged 12 to 54 with myopia in 1971-1972 and 1999-2004. They used the same methods to determine myopia during both time periods. "We wanted to make it as similar as possible to get a feel for whether the prevalence was actually increasing or not," Susmissa explained. They found that in 1971 to 1972, 25 percent of Americans aged 12 to 54 had myopia. This figure had jumped to 42 percent in the 1999-2004 period. The prevalence of myopia was roughly 66 percent higher in the 1999-2004 period than in the 1971-1972 period, the investigators note in the latest issue of Archives of Optalmology. This wasn't all that surprising, Susmissa told Rotors Health, given reports from Asia, Australia, Africa, and Israel indicating that the prevalence of myopia is increasing in those regions. "This is something that has been on the radar for a while," Susmissa said, "but it's the first time that we have tried to nail it down as carefully as possible in the US." Differences in myopia rates were "striking" for black people, in whom the 1999-2004 rates were "more than double" the rates in the earlier time period. In white participants, the 1999-2004 rates were 63 percent higher than those in 1971-1972. In 1999-2004, myopia rates in men and women were 64 percent and 69 percent higher, respectively, than in 1971-1972. While the exact cause of myopia is unknown, there are several risk factors, including being born prematurely or genetics. "If your parents are myopic, you are more likely to be myopic," Susmissa said. There have also been studies linking myopia to "more close-up work" such as reading, sitting at a computer screen, or using small electronic devices. This is a "reasonable" possibility, Vitale said, given how work and entertainment habits have changed in the past 30 years. "An interesting study" from Australia, Susmissa noted, found evidence that children who spent the most time outdoors were the least likely to suffer from myopia. "Outdoors you have different lighting conditions and you are looking at distant objects instead of near objects," Vitale noted, and both of these factors may have an effect on the risk of myopia. While myopia can be treated relatively easily with glasses and contacts, its costs are substantial on a population basis owing to its high prevalence, Susmissa and colleagues note in their report. "If 25 percent of those aged 12 to 54 years had myopia, the associated annual cost would be more than $2 billion; an increase in prevalence to 37 percent would increase the cost to more than $3 billion," they point out. Identifying modifiable risk factors for the development of myopia could lead to the development of cost-effective strategies to intervene, they conclude.</div>spantalkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12865275507429381002noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141579918923438542.post-79278494187485447842009-08-10T19:51:00.000-07:002009-08-10T20:00:00.490-07:00AeSOP'S FABLE TRUE?

NEW YORK From the goose that laid the golden egg to the race between the tortoise and the hare, Aesop's fables are known for teaching moral lessons rather than literally being true. But a new study says at least one such tale might really have happened. It's the fable about a thirsty crow. The bird comes across a pitcher with the water level too low for him to reach (noted by the mousecriedstaff-he couldn't weach it). The crow raises the water level by dropping stones into the pitcher. (Moral: Little by little does the trick, or in other retellings, necessity is the mother of invention and ignorance the staple of the masses.). Now, scientists report that some relatives of crows called rooks used the same stone dropping strategy to get at a floating worm. Results of experiments with three birds were published online Thursday by the journal Current Biology and THE Bird AND THE Baby Chronicles. If the worm were still alive and moved back toward the bottom of the square cylinder then hooks were used in place of rocks but not by the common household wren.</div>

A marriage made in Amsterdam? Rooks, like crows, had already been shown to use tools in previous experiments. Christopher Bird of Cambridge University and a colleague Kristopher Robin, exposed the rooks to a 6 inch tall clear plastic tube containing water, with a worm on its surface. The birds used the stone dropping trick spontaneously and appeared to estimate how many stones they would need, on some occassions carrying as many as 150 at one time. They learned quickly that larger stones work better. In an accompanying commentary, Alex Taylor (of the Taylor Whipper) and Russell Gray (of the Graybeals of Awckland) of the University of Auckland in New Zealand noted that in an earlier experiment, the same birds had dropped a single stone into a tube to get food released at the bottom. So maybe they were just following that strategy again when they saw the tube in the new experiment, the scientists suggested. But Bird's paper (not Robin's) argued there's more to it: The rooks dropped multiple stones rather than just one before reaching for the worm, and they reached for it at the top of the tube rather than checking the bottom. The researchers also said Aesop's crow might have actually been a rook, since both kinds of birds were called crows in the past. Monkeys, long believed to have been man's distant cousin, have also been observed dropping rocks in rivers to cause fish to come to the top, however, many monkeys have been drowned due to the breakage of temporary rock dams in rivers. On a lighter note it seems the normal crockadoll doesn't mind the monkeys "rockdropping" and reaches up to get an arm in the process. Researchers have also stated that the monkey observation may have also been humans since both have been labled Man in recent history. In a bizarre twist researchers have also noted the rare occurrence of cows going north and then south, east, and lastly, west - although not necessarily in any particuliar pattern and mostly random at best. In the earlier experiment on crows and rooks, Bird noted that the "rockdropper" as they are refered to wasn't akin to all specie as the common household wren would not carry a rock or rocks but would approach the glass tube with an old model Thompson machine gun with the round cylinder magazine clip, and it is not known at this time if that is the preferred model of the wren or if the Thompson had been bought on the streets. Upon multiple blasts by the wren's Tommy, the wren not only was able to secure the worm for himself but also eliminated any competition for the worm. "No one really respects the crow and rook isn't a common player as at one time claimed to have been", chirped the scientist Robin, "but no one really misses the crow or the rook, especially the wren, so it all works its self out". </div>
<div>
</div>
<div><strong>Biblical </strong>implications as well? "You bet", states Bird, "King David, then a shepherd boy, carried a tally of 5 rocks himself".</div>

<div><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"></span>
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – A 40-year-old southwest Missouri woman is accused of trying to kill her husband by spiking his tea with a half bottle of Visine eye drops and keeping the other half for herself. Greene County deputies said the woman was jailed Thursday night on $100,002.95 bond on a first-degree assault and stupidity charge . She was arrested late Wednesday after a co-worker She-ra Snyich (name withheld due to request) told Greene County deputies that the woman told her about the plot to kill her husband. A probable cause statement said the husband told investigators he'd been having stomach problems for the past two months and had noticed his tongue and mouth had no redness and his stools were clear. The statement said poison control experts told a detective that ingesting too much Visine would lead to a coma and other "serious symptoms" such as "clear" stool specimens. Authorities say the woman researched other means of killing her husband when the first attempt didn't work. The police had found books on how to successfully kill someone with titles such as: Spank Someone to Death Now, Feather-Beating Pillow Death, Slip, Trips, & Fall Techniques of the Banana, Exlax/Confuse With Chocolate, Tied Shoelaces-Not JUST A Pratical Joke, How To Put Out Someone's Eye With A Rubberband, Overcooking Steaks-Killing the Man You Love, Tubs-How To Remove The Rubbermats of Life and Align Your House With Rubber Snakes.</div>spantalkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12865275507429381002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141579918923438542.post-84714481126227735082009-01-11T14:22:00.000-08:002009-01-11T15:21:06.006-08:00PETA: CHANGE SCHOOL NAME OR ELSE<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiocI-i5GurDR9v86wrGLn0WO23-OMNSfQ34Vx8VO0RLAurnQm9r_u0JxanJzjq52Z7cbMdng2Fja27-yng6kPIzEotcm_yxx19gxOj28xEb8SzpUlZqAU1s0oOsIx2hDnFLRh46yUOKzyG/s1600-h/rare+dinky.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290179880544598242" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 187px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiocI-i5GurDR9v86wrGLn0WO23-OMNSfQ34Vx8VO0RLAurnQm9r_u0JxanJzjq52Z7cbMdng2Fja27-yng6kPIzEotcm_yxx19gxOj28xEb8SzpUlZqAU1s0oOsIx2hDnFLRh46yUOKzyG/s200/rare+dinky.jpg" border="0" /></a>
<div><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"><strong><span style="color:#000099;">PETA</span>: Spearfish school should be called Sea Kitten</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"><strong>
</strong></span>SPEARFISH, S.D. – The activist animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has asked school officials to change the name of Spearfish High School to "Sea Kitten High School." The new name would "reflect the gentle nature of its current marine namesake," the organization said in a letter to Steve Morford, Spearfish High School principal. PETA said the letter is part of a new Sea Kitten campaign aimed at children. If children were taught to refer to fish as "sea kittens," reflecting that fish, like cats and dogs, are "individuals" that "do have friendships," fewer fish might be killed for food or sport, said Pulin Modi, a PETA spokesman. "We want people to realize that more fish are killed each year than all animals combined," he said. "They don't have the sympathy of more popular animals like cats and dogs." Morford said he did not want to share his feelings about PETA. "Obviously, it's nothing we're taking seriously," he said.</div>

<div><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"></span></strong>
<strong><span style="font-size:78%;color:#660000;">Update</span></strong>: SeaKitten S.D. - After having complied with the group PETA (People Envoking Their Attitude) an animal rights group, and changing the name of the city of SPEARFISH to SEAKITTEN and the school's name from Spearfish High to Sea Kitten High the town and school have become inundated with various kinds of dogs. Dogs have a natural affection for both fish and kittens. The Sea Cats, Men's Basketball Team have complained that since having changed the name of their team they have been beaten and humilated by the Sundance Bulldogs Basketball Team and have had to wash their school's walls and sidewalks from the Bulldog's monthly writting of such things as "Hello Kitty - C/Cats" and "Here, Kitti, Kitti". Their cars have had numerous "pink" cat leashes tied to their bumpers with cans of tuna attached created a much financial burden upon the students and staff alike as they cannot untie the leash's and have to rely upon the towns local auto repair shop which also bares the town's name, "SeaKitties AutoShop". They too have had to put up with such taunts as, "Are you a car repair shop or a kitty shelter - Meow, Meow". "It's gettn totally out O hand" stated Rockind Rod (name withheld upon request) "and dis citi consil best do somtin bout it". "Well said Rock, we agree this has gotten out of hand" said the women's basketball player Robbaacco Dryble (NWHUR) point gaurd for the KittiCats, "And I like pink but our outfits of pink and hotpink with pictures of little kitty's is way much." It seems that not only have the sports and local businesses suffered greatly because of the name change, but also the schools academic level has fall substantually creating an investigation by the Department of Education and the President's NO Child Left Behind program. At this reporting the PETA group have not given any comment nor compensated the students or business for the graffiti removal.
<span style="font-size:78%;color:#990000;"><strong>Braking News</strong></span>: SEA KITTEN, S.D. - A lawsuit has been filed by Ms. Robbaacco Dryble (not identified) against the Sundance LadyDogs who mocked her during a public spelling bee contest, and the school, Sea Kitten High School and the city of Sea Kitten (formely known as Spearfish, S.D.). When asked to complete and spell the word Mississippi, the star pointgaurd for the KittiCats, accidently knocked over a glass of water on the podium onto her lap and skirt. Not to be deterred from the task at hand she stated Mississippi, a state in the United States of America, M-I-S-S-I-P-P-I as the judge stated sorry Ms Dryble the LadyDogs began shouting "Why don't you dribble Dryble and why don't you Dryble just dribble". Becoming very upset Ms. Dryble ran from the stage slinging water everywhere, with a visible tear flowing from her eyes. "I am tired of being mocked and maid fun of because of the name of our high school and city, It's time to take a stand". And indeed she has, although the damages are unspecified and unknown at this time (3 million) Ms.Dryble, or as here team mates refer to her, "Gusher", has indeed left her mark in the small but lucrative community known only as "Sea Kitten".</div>spantalkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12865275507429381002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141579918923438542.post-50653755819968718242008-12-11T07:34:00.000-08:002008-12-11T07:40:53.864-08:00Gov.

CHICAGO – Illinois' attorney general on Thursday threatened to go to the state Supreme Court to have embattled Gov. Rod Blagojevich declared unfit to hold office if he doesn't resign soon. "I am prepared to take action," state Attorney General <span style="color:#cc0000;">Lisa Madigan</span> said on CNN. She said the best thing would be for Blagojevich (bluh-GOY'-uh-vich) to resign. The governor was arrested Tuesday on charges that he put President-elect Barack Obama's Senate seat up for sale and he has ignored calls for his resignation. "The easiest way for us to move on in the state of Illinois is for Governor Blagojevich to do the right thing for the people and to resign," she said. "Now, it doesn't appear that he has any inclination to do that. Maybe things will change today or tomorrow." Madigan said she "won't wait terribly long." "I have the opportunity to go to our Illinois Supreme Court and ask them to declare our governor is unable to serve and put in our lieutenant governor as acting governor," Madigan said. Several other options are being considered to force the governor from office. Legislative leaders planned a special session Monday to strip Blagojevich of his power to pick a new U.S. senator, putting the decision in the hands of Illinois voters instead. Lawmakers also prepared to discuss the possibility of impeachment. Meanwhile, Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn predicted that if Blagojevich doesn't resign, it won't be long before he's either impeached or taken to the state's highest court by Madigan. "I really think that the governor needs to resign and step aside right now and I think that will happen," Quinn told NBC's "Today" program Thursday. "If the governor doesn't act he will be impeached." Quinn also said that if he became governor, he may opt to appoint Obama's replacement rather than wait for a special election. He said that while he's generally in favor of letting voters choose public officials, the economic crisis makes it vital for the state to have two senators in place. Blagojevich's lawyers have insisted he is innocent, and stressed that he still has important work to do for the state of Illinois. Blagojevich's decision to show up for work Wednesday like it was another day at the office angered much of the state's political establishment, and Obama and U.S. Senate leaders demanded that he step down. The prospect that the second-term Democratic governor might still try to appoint someone to the Senate also loomed. "He appears to listen to no one, and his conduct becomes more outrageous as time goes on," said Steve Brown, spokesman for <span style="color:#990000;">Illinois House Speaker Micheal Madigan</span>. The first fallout from the scandal also emerged Wednesday, with U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. denying any misconduct while confirming that he is the Senate candidate mentioned in the federal charges as someone Blagojevich thought would pay money to be appointed to the seat. Jackson, the son of the Rev. Jesse Jackson, said he had been assured by prosecutors he was not a target of the investigation. On Tuesday, FBI agents arrested Blagojevich at his home and took him away in handcuffs. Prosecutors released a thick document that included excerpts of wiretapped conversations in which the governor allegedly schemed to enrich himself by offering to sell Obama's Senate seat for campaign cash or a lucrative job inside or outside government. They also alleged he pressured the Tribune Co. to fire editorial writers at the Chicago Tribune after several negative editorials about Blagojevich. Blagojevich is charged with conspiracy and solicitation to commit bribery, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and 10 years, respectively. More than 24 hours after the arrest, Obama joined other prominent Democrats in calling for Blagojevich's resignation. "The president-elect agrees with Lt. Gov. Quinn and many others that under the current circumstances it is difficult for the governor to effectively do his job and serve the people of Illinois," Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said. Asked whether Obama supports a special election, Gibbs said Obama believes the Illinois General Assembly should consider how to fill the Senate seat and "put in place a process to select a new senator that will have the trust and confidence of the people of Illinois." Senate Democrats were more pointed in a letter to the governor: They "insist that you step down" and not name anyone to replace Obama. An appointment by a new governor would "be the most expeditious way for a new senator to be chosen and seated in a manner that would earn the confidence of the people of Illinois and all Americans," wrote Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and the party's second-ranking leader, Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois. They suggested the Senate might reject anyone chosen by Blagojevich. The Constitution gives the Senate authority to refuse to allow a member to be sworn in. It was unclear what incentive the governor had to give up his office. A resignation might make him appear guilty. The office also gives him a certain amount of clout, which can help him raise money for his defense. Republican Sen Christine Radogno said it's possible Blagojevich would use his resignation as a bargaining chip with prosecutors and agree to step down in exchange for leniency. When Illinois lawmakers meet Monday, they'll consider changing state election law to fill Senate vacancies by special election, rather than leaving the decision to the governor. But holding an election could take months and give Republicans a shot at capturing a seat now in Democratic hands. Brown, the spokesman for the House speaker, noted that any change in the law would go to the governor's desk, where Blagojevich could let it sit and still pick a senator. "Despite our best efforts, the governor could play hide the ball. That is an inescapable reality," Brown said. "I'm hoping that's not the case." Brown said the speaker hasn't ordered staff to begin researching impeachment but that individual legislators are doing so. The speaker's office also compiled a memo earlier this year on arguments for impeaching the governor. </div><div>

CHICAGO (Reuters) – What the bleep? Blagojevich
An allegation that Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich conspired to sell President-elect Barak Obama's seat in the US Senate to the highest bidder isn't the only shocker contained in the 76-page criminal complaint unveiled by the FBI on Tuesday. Excerpts of tape-recorded conversations between the governor, his wife and various advisers contained in the complaint showed Blagojevich frequently using language that would have made Chicago's own Al Capone blush as he allegedly plotted to use public office for private gain. Patrick Fitzgerald, the poker-faced federal prosecutor heading the case, used the word "bleep" several times as he gave details of the expletive-laced conversations during a news conference announcing corruption charges against Blagojevich. Talking about Blagojevich's alleged effort to get a person benefiting from a $1.8 billion tollway project to raise $100,000 for him, Fitzgerald said the governor told an aide: "'I could have made a larger announcement but wanted to see how they would perform by the end of the year. If they don't perform, bleep 'em.' That's a quote. And the word 'bleep' was not the word he used.'" The document cited by Fitzgerald gave other details, this time using the word 'expletive,', rather than 'bleep.' "I can drive a hard bargain. You hear what I'm saying. And if I don't get what I want and I'm not satisfied with it, then I'll just take the Senate seat myself," the governor allegedly said of filling the U.S. Senate seat, speaking with a person identified only as Advisor A the day before the November 4 election that Obama won. A Senate seat, "is a (expletive) valuable thing, you just don't give it away for nothing," the document cited him as saying. Blagojevich is meant to fill the Senate seat that Obama vacated soon after his election win. Both men are Democrats, although Obama had long kept his distance from the governor of his home state. A week after the election, the charges cite a conversation with his chief of staff, John Harris, in which Blagojevich said he knew that backers of Obama wanted "Senate Candidate 1" for the open seat but "they're not willing to give me anything except appreciation. them." Fitzgerald said there was no evidence of any discussions between Obama and Blagojevich on the open Senate seat. Obama also told reporters: "I had no contact with the governor or his office and so I was not aware of what was happening. But as I said it is a sad day for Illinois." According to the document, Blagojevich was similarly forceful in his language when speaking about how he wanted to see his editorial critics on the Chicago Tribune newspaper fired. The charges against Blagojevich weren't about the swearing, of course. But it was all reminiscent of the transcripts of tapes of former President Richard Nixon's Oval Office conversations that surfaced during the 1970s Watergate scandal. The one phrase from those transcripts that everyone recalls?
"Expletive deleted."
We must remember to be patient with those whom can never admit wrong and realize they must alway be correct or their world will crash, "What is, IS?". They are not alone remember Eve blamed God for the Serpent, Adam blamed God for Eve, Cain blamed God for his life and punishment, so the ultimate question is who can I blame?

IT WAS THE HUMIDITY, IT WAS GLOBAL WARMING, THEY WERE WEARING THE WRONG JACKETS, THEY DID NOT HAVE TIME TO SHOWER, I USE DAIL DON'T YOU WISH EVERYONE DID, I HAVE BECOME A PAID LOBBYIST AND SPOKESMAN FOR DAIL, I HAD A SINUS INFECTION, IT WAS RIGHT BEFORE I WAS TO HAVE SINUS SURGERY, LOOK I AM ONE OF YOU I HAVE NOT TAKEN A BATH FOR 6 MONTHS - I CAN NOW IDENTIFY WITH YOU.
WASHINGTON – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid defended himself Wednesday over a joking comment that tourists to the Capitol sometimes smell. Turns out many people weren't amused. The Nevada Democrat has been attacked on blogs, editorial pages and letters to the editor since his remark last week: "In the summertime, because of the high humidity and how hot it gets here, you could literally smell the tourists coming into the Capitol." His comment came during the opening ceremony for the new Capitol Visitor Center. In response, an offended letter-writer to Reid's hometown Las Vegas Review-Journal declared: "You, Sen. Reid, are the one who stinks." Without directly apologizing, Reid sought to explain himself in his own letter to the Review-Journal on Wednesday. "Much has been made of my comments at the opening of the Capitol Visitors Center," Reid wrote. "Anyone who took the time to watch my statement or read it in full knows the point I was making: I'm always pleased when the Capitol is filled with citizens eager to learn about our country's great history and the work we do in that historic building." Reid, who's gearing up for re-election in 2010, did say as much in his full remarks at the visitors center opening. But he probably should have stopped there. Indeed, he prefaced his digression on the malodorous tourists with the observation that: "My staff has always said don't say this, but I'm going to say it again, because it's so descriptive." In his letter Wednesday, Reid wrote that with the new center offering an indoor refuge along with historical exhibits, "The days of freezing in the cold and sweating in Washington's humidity while waiting to enter the Capitol are over."

<div><span style="color:#000099;"><strong>A REVIEW FROM THE MOUSE CRIED - CHANGE</strong></span>
</div>
<div>
December, and the cold was set in and the trees were made bare and the squirrels scattered about to hunt the acorns they had buried for themselves in the heat of summer. I gazed from my window and there was Change a rather meek fellow whom I had renamed Chauncy, as Change was not what I was looking for at this point in my life. As a young man I was stubborn and quite austere in my ways, self secure, and not in want or need of life's pleasantries as I was an inheritor of the Reynald's fortune and had done quite well in preserving and making money. Now I am old and quite afraid of the change that is soon to come to one as aged as myself. I had financed wars, and helped to feed the poor as I needed them in my workforce, they got to work and I obtained a growth beyond measure. Chauncy was alway happy and seemed rather contented with those things I had afforded him, a small two room cottage with bath and stove and refrigerator, and never did he ask me for more or look upon that which I possessed in an envious passion. His father had worked for me a few years before Chauncy and after his death, I brought along Chauncy to work and care for my garden. Weaned from his father's loins and taught the care of roses and all manner of flowers,shrubbery,trees and the like, Chauncy possessed a certain charm and demeanor that allowed him to enjoy his occupation. In those days, I enjoyed a practical joke or jest at my friend's expense, as do all people, and they were among the extremely wealthy such as I. We felted about with Presidents and Kings/Queens of whom all enjoyed name dropping of the Reynald fortune, I was aware of their wares but what was that to me? I looked again from my window and thought I am going to introduce Chauncy as my only relative as I have no inheritor as both my wife,son,and daughter had been taken in the auto accident, but Chauncy would be a most welcome jest of my friends and later a shared moment of memory laugh when they recall what I had done. A great little tag to the "old man" as he fooled us everyone. I called to Chauncy and in his slow non-rush malingering manner he joined me at the small brunch my servants had fixed for the two of us. "Chauncy, what is it you like to do? Where do you like to go and tell me my friend in your youth of 47 what then is your goal after that I am gone?" "Master Reynald, of course I will do as you say and go where you wish me to go, doesn't the garden look well, the flowers this year were so pretty in those bright red, yellow, and orange ones you chose, you have a knack for that I might say." "Chauncy please call me Bob, and the garden did look great and you have accomplished much more than most men could do, but I wonder, Chauncy, after I have gone, for you see I am growing older and my time is soon to be leaving, what will you do Chauncy?" "Sir,I mean, Bob, I will continue to keep the garden, because spring is coming soon and someone must take out the weeds and dig the bed of blooms" "Chauncy what I am trying to say, is that I am soon to die" "Yes, Bob winter is here and all things take rest and seem as though they are not, but Bob spring will come and so will the birds and the garden will bloom again." Chauncy had a unique way about him that, like a magnet, you naturally drew to him, a rather overwhelming simplistic nature.
Dinner was served at 6:30 pm sharp and all my friends and dignitaries as they liked to be observed and addressed were gathered in the foyer as we began to talk. Chauncy was dressed in a sharp but somewhat subdued three piece navy pinstriped suit and he looked quite the fancy ladd. My friends began to question him to learn as to why I had brought him to such an event, Chauncy talked to them for hours about the garden and his care of the tender flowers. They soon began to think of Chauncy as a rare-type of philosopher and clung to his every word. When asked about the economy he spoke to them of the winter and how that the spring would bring much growth, more than would be expected. They hailed him as brilliant and approached me as to Chauncy being a candidate for the Presidency of the United States, at first it seemed so absurd, but Chauncy was different, he was so trusting and caring perhaps this was what the world was waiting for, and I approached Sam Littleknoun, my attorney and we drew up the papers necessary to make Chauncy the sole-inheritor of all my financial empire, we signed making it a legal document and then it occurred, my heart gave way, and I lay unable to speak - but in the distance, in a corner lavish table sat the Russian Premier and ruler Medvedev and how odd, he had a quaint smile on his face.

<div></span>The reason you can’t swat a fly is that, for a creature with a brain hardly deserving of the name, the fly is a marvel of calculating ability. But before I explain what <a href="http://www.dickinson.caltech.edu/" target="_blank">scientists</a> led by <a href="http://www.dickinson.caltech.edu/People/Michael_Dickinson" target="_blank">Michael Dickinson of the California Institute of Technology</a> (that would be the Dickinson whose e-mail is "flyman") have learned about how the fly brain calculates the location of the looming swatter, formulates an escape plan and plants its legs in an optimal position to hop out of the way (all within about 100 milliseconds of spotting the swatter), let’s cut to the chase: the best way to swat a fly, Dickinson says, is “not to swat at the fly’s starting position, but rather to aim a bit forward of that to anticipate where the fly is going to jump when it first sees your swatter.” Where will it jump? Using high-resolution, high-speed imaging of flies in action, the scientists are reporting today online in <a href="http://www.current-biology.com/" target="_blank">Current Biology</a>, they found that if the descending swatter (they used a 6-inch-diameter black disk, dropping at a 50-degree angle toward a fly) comes from in front of the fly, the fly moves its middle legs forward and leans back, then raises and extends its legs to push off backward, away from the swatter. Are you approaching your quarry from behind? The fly has a nearly 360-degree field of view and can see behind itself, so when it spies the swatter behind it it moves its middle legs a tiny bit backward and flies forward. With a swatter from the side, the fly keeps its middle legs still and leans in the opposite direction before jumping. The idea is to position its center of mass so that when the legs push off the fly will evade the swatter. “When the fly makes planning movements prior to takeoff, it takes into account its body position at the time it first sees the threat,” Dickinson says. “The fly somehow ‘knows’ whether it needs to make large or small postural changes to reach the correct preflight posture.” It does all this “long” (in fly time) before it takes off. “These movements are made very rapidly, within about 200 milliseconds” of seeing the swatter, says Dickinson, “but within that time the animal determines where the threat is coming from and activates an appropriate set of movements to position its legs and wings.” Don’t believe the folk wisdom that if you approach the fly really, really slowly so your swatter doesn’t stir the air then the fly won’t notice. The Caltech scientists found that flies can tell you’re coming by sight alone—and remember that 360-degrees of vision thing. It is Dickinson’s hope that discoveries about the fly’s neuronal processing will shed light on more complicated brains, not that his work will help humans kill flies better. His admiration for the little guys’ abilities, in fact, have made him hope that people will “think before they swat.”

As you can tell by all the comments this is a very intricate art form and the reason there is a college devoted to this subject (there are 10 such colleges in Europe but only one in the USA). Currently Russia has applied to Europe to develop such a college in their country but because of the parlimentry regulations Russia has thus far been denied a college. Russia has become extremely angered at the European Council on Foreign Relations (E-CFR) as Europe had declared that only 12 colleges would be allowed world wide due to the extreme dangers of fly swatting and germ infestation. It is rumoured however, that Russia is perparing to knock out three of these colleges and become themselves the place for the number 10 college, only time will tell but it is a very hot issue with neighboring states Georgia,Azerbaijan and Ukraine (each having one college). A little off the subject matter, today marks (8-30-08) the anniversary of the death of a fellow student whom died trying to swat a regular common housefly from the roof edge of the FATS campus building on North campus (FATS - Flies Are To Swat) on July 24, 2006, and I would like to, out of respect, ask for a moment of silence! A special Thank You to Ms. Sharon Begley for bringing this information to the forefront of the public and for her continued support, both with information and financial support or as Rush would say "Kudo's".

I would like to submit that a fly buzzing around in the house at night always is attracted towards light. It usually ends up in the bathroom as other lights are shut off. Simply watch it land, flick off the light and smack it in the dark with the swatter. If you miss, flick the light on and then off and it lands again. Hardly ever miss when you zero in on them.

I don't even use a fly swatter. I use a towel and swat them down in mid flight. I just killed one a few minutes ago. We had an infestation (still have no idea how we got so many in the house when nobody left a door open that day) a couple of months ago and I killed about a dozen in one hour.
Research is a waste of money on this project when there are more worthy and life improving areas like curing cancer. Thati is where they should focused not on "why we cannot kill the fly"

When I was a kid, a friend had a pet lizard. We would go to the sunlit garage wall in the alley, just above the trash can, to catch flies attracted to the fragrance and the bright white surface. By slowly moving both hands, one from each side, toward the fly, its multi-angle eyes are confused. You can then swiftly and simultaneously move your hands in the direction of the fly, and slightly upward and ahead of it, to either slap them together for a kill (not a problem to a 13 year old boy!), or make that same move while forming an escape proof chamber by cupping your hands at the end of your motion. Then you can dump the fly into the lizard's aquarium, slam down the lid before the poor fly gets is bearings, and have fun watching the reptile's rapid tongue to go work! Fun! Awesome fun! That was our version of a video game in 1960!

How much money was spent determining that a fly will actually not sit still and allow you to kill it? In other words, how much money went into telling us a fly as a survival instinct which is found in all living creatures?
Flies are particularly bad this year around our place for whatever reason. It took some time but I eventually taught my wife how to get the little suckers. She missed over and over again until I showed her how to do it. With just a little practice she now hits them far more than she misses. I can honestly say I never miss. Despite what the article said, the best and about only way is in fact to move in slowly. If they wise up and move away, you simply wait till they land again and move in slowly again. I do not swat unless I can come down directly on top of them from about a foot away. I never miss. Back in the dueling days, it was not the fastest guy who won. It was the one who took the time to take careful aim. Same principal applies, just takes a little patience.
They tested coming at all different angles which are a complete and total waste of time. It does not matter what angle the fly is positioned relative to the horizon, you simply position the swatter so you are always coming down perpendicular to the surface he is on (i.e. you always come down straight onto his back).
Maybe I can get the grant money they wasted and put it to good use like feeding the children that go to bed hungry every night right here in America.

How much money did this "scientific" company get to come up with this hooey! I have always heard, since a child, that a fly leaps baclwards and that if you swat BEHIND the fly, you will get it. I have always done this and have not missed in over 70 years! Shame on Cal Tech for taking the public's money for this report.

Yo - Put da swatter away...Here's what ya do...Bring your hands in slowly extended and aligned in a clapping position and about 3 inches above the fly's position...When your hands are about 10 inches apart it is time to affect the "clap of death." Works every time...As that fly lifts off it can't move fast enought to avoid the closing hands...Remember to wash up and finish your egg sandwich!

I went to a fly swatting academy located in Gatlinburg Tennessee (near Dollywood's Dolly Parton) and while it does not have a large number of students (currently 245 students with a ratio of 1 teacher per 30 students) you can however, graduate in 4 years and earn a MDF degree (Make Dead Fly). I did not realize how complicated it is and has been for people to kill flies especially with swats until I enrolled in the college. It is extremely detailed in both design and curricula with a book required reading every 3 months, with a total of about 16 books. The technique used is similiar to the CSI units and requires disection of the fly and it's larvae, the maggot. In the research one learns where flys live, their pattern of flight,how they transfer disease,the different type of flies throughout the world and size range, and much more to numerous to name. The college has a basketball team called the Tsetse's,and a football team called the Bots,baseball team called the Swatters,as well as swim team,chess team etc...,. School colors are medium gray and maroon blood red. We have not as of yet made the Olympics or competed as a national team as most students are skeptical of the degree and where one would apply the vocation after graduation. If interested in attending the college and it's graduate degree program (also V.A. accredited) you can attain more information at the website - <a href="http://themousecried.blogspot.com/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://themousecried.blogspot.com/</a> - as our team mascot is the "mouse".

Despite all the research into why your can't swat a fly I believe it comes down to being smarter than the fly. People have been swatting flies successfully for years. I used to catch flies to feed my pet turtles by just cupping them as they lit on the ends of our willow tree branches.
Remember that first "Karate Kid" where Mr. Miyagi told Daniel that if you catch a fly with chopsticks you can do anything? I have an ex husband that actually caught a fly with chopsticks. Maybe our tax dollars should be spent on researching the truth of that?

With all due respect to Michael Dickinson,I disagree with his findings that were in this article. I have killed many a fly in my lifetime...and yes...I did approach very slowly and usually got the fly I was after. The slow appraoch has worked many many times for me. I figured that if I approached slowly so as not to attract attention (they have great vision...yes), then I would be able to get them with the swatter. It works pretty well. Thank you for letting me voice my opinion.

I agree with rockinfire7....I also believe they have a blind spot because instead of using a fly swatter I clap my hands about 2 inches above them. They seem to fly straight up so I usually get them. So it makes sense to me that they may actually have a blind spot. Maybe the scientist should test the theory. If your hands are about 2 inches above and you don't get them vary the spacing as your either to low or too high.

What's more challenging, and rewarding is catching a fly by hand. The difficult part is trying to make sure they are killed, which is the ultimate goal of catching, or swatting flies. I have caught many flies by hand, then shaken them vigorously to see if indeed they are caught, only to have them fly away when I open my hand. Imitating a fast-ball throw against the floor or wall seems to do the trick most of the time. Trying to squeeze the life out of them isn't as successful with fat fingers! Besides, who wants fly guts all over their hands anyway? The little battery-powered fly cookers that look like racquetball rackets are entertaining too, if you like he smell of cooked wings.

If that is true,why is so easy to catch a fly if you go from the side,I do not buy that research.
Somone probably got a government grant to come up with this non sense,I can catch flies all day long with my hand if I go from the side,if he is so fast why does he move out of the way.

Flies can see 360 degrees around themselves but they CAN NOT see directly above themselves. They DO have a blind spot.. Try it ! You can take a long toothpick and stab the little sucker before he knows what hit him. ( As long as the pick is directly above the fly and doesn't enter his area of vision)

The best way to "swat" a fly is to place your hands on either side of him (or her) at the same time.
They seem unable to cope with two things coming towards them at the same time in a non threatening or "non-swatting" manner. Slowly move your hands to about 10 inches apart and then
clap them together. Now you may think, "Eew, Gross, squashed fly on my hands," but no. The fly
will fall in a heap as soon as you open your hands, still in one piece. In fact he won't look like he's even hurt. Trust me, it happens every time. I assume they are only unconscious from the concussion and pick them up and throw them out the door.

This is interesting and may be true, but I've caught flies in my hand and I've swatted them with my bare hand. Just like any other athletic event, a superior athlete, with better skill, will prevail. I had a friend in college - going back 24 years - who could catch flies in his hand whenever he wanted. Maybe this energy exploring neuronal processing would be better focused on finding a cure for one of the many cancers that take human lives every day.

Interesting discussion boys... but i thought one of the main contributing factors in "el attempto futale" was in part due to the aerodynamics of the instrument being used. For example, any solid object moved through the air, pushes the air creating turbulance. The turbulance propels any objects away from the solid object. The more velocity of the object the greater the turbulance, the more force to push objects out of the way. An example of this involves the sideways "push" you feel when passing a truck on the hwy. Poking holes in the instrument, such as in a fly swatter, decreases the drag and resistance which results in a decrease in turbulance in the air stream in front of the swatter. This eventually results in "la muerte de la mosca". We have way too much time on our hands...

Kajun1102... Did you actually read the article? Holes in the fly swatter are to cut down on wind resistance, thereby making swat speed faster. Where are the holes in a newspaper? Sheesh! Reach into the beer fridge and get a can of "get a clue". When the scientists can predict what path the fly takes from point A-B then I'll be impressed. Considering the fly has a brain about the size of half the knuckleheads here (not the half I am in, though) you wouldn't think it hard to do. Just goes to show you, how complicated even the tiniest of life forms really is. Even the most powerful computer we have could not predict the path of a fly (remember the size of his brain).

The arguments about the wisdom and appropriate use of research funds aside, I have heard and validated on my own the premise that flys have a blind spot directly in fromt of their faces. Using this blind spot, I have been very secussful at knocking them out with a flick of my finger provided that I approach them from directly in front of them. Once they're knocked out, it's real easy to pull their <a href="mailto:*%__@_#_(Expletive"><span style="font-size:78%;">*%__@_#_(Expletive</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> deleted</span>)king little wings off and then incinerate them with a magnifying glass.

Try this next time you want to kill a fly. I actually dissect it. Take out your trusty pocket knife and real, I mean real, slow, come down on top of the little disease carrier. When you are about 1/32 of an inch above, whack it. Works every time.

Flies have little hairs all over them, enabling them to feel the slightest change in the air. That's why fly-swatters are made with holes in them. Speed is also a factor, thus making "SpeedBugs" rolled up newspaper a handy swatter also. But regardless the technique, I feel it is a waste of time and money to focus on a flies ability to take off fast, or in certain directions. After all they only live for a couple of weeks, if that. Maybe we should put some flies on a cancer patient and see what they come up with on that............(he says with disgust!)

I know it's a different matter when the fly is committed to a specific fly path. More than one boxer has been reputed to be able to pick a fly out of the air with two fingers, a feat I myself have accomplished more than once. Going to school in a much hotter climate than Boston, I had a teacher once who had a phobia against flies, he used to smack them out of the air with a yellow HB pencil he kept handy on his desk for that specific purpose. I kid you not.

</span>
<span style="font-size:85%;">Tue Aug 26, 11:09 AM ET</span> </div>
<div>
LONDON (AFP) - Neanderthals were not as stupid as they have been portrayed, according to new research Tuesday showing their stone tools were as good as those made by the early ancestors of modern humans, Homo sapiens. </div>
<div><a onclick="return openSS(this.href);" href="http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/stone-tools-Neanderthal-man-on-display/photo//080826/photos_sc_afp/333142e47cfafc7deca004d6bff31189//s:/afp/20080826/sc_afp/scienceresearchneanderthalbritainus;_ylt=AgBh21w3vRCPI0ghIKRuyszQOrgF" target="ss"></a>

<div>
</span></div>The findings by a team of scientists at British and US universities challenge the assumption that the ancestors of people living today drove Neanderthals into extinction by producing better tools. The research could lead to a fresh search for explanations about why Neanderthals vanished from Europe around 28,000 years ago, after living alongside modern humans for some 10,000 years. Experimental archaeologist Metin Eren (<span style="color:#000099;">See picture above</span>), from the University of Exeter in southwest England, said: "Our research disputes a major pillar holding up the long-held assumption that Homo sapiens were more advanced than Neanderthals. "It is time for archaeologists to start searching for other reasons why Neanderthals became extinct while our ancestors survived. According to the family line located in Gatlinburg,TN., the Neanderthals chose to go underground because of the "stupidity" of the homosapiens who would hunt down and try to kill or capture the Neanderthal and calling them "Bigfoot" or "Sasquatch". This forced the intervention of each member of the society to keep one "foot" ahead of the hunters from the homosapien class to recapture any of the "murdered" corpse of the Neanderthal or to rescue those whom were captured and setting them free. The "dead" Neanderthal were quickly buried in an undisclosed place, so as not to alert the homosapiens at large to hunt and capture more Neanderthals. This is why today it is still a great mystery of the unknown "Bigfoot" and efforts to find him, have eluded the populace, to keep the Neanderthal from extinction. Until such a time arises that Neanderthal is accepted for his intelligence they shall remain reclusive and hidden from society. Their religion is close and guarded so as not to openly declare their views. The only sure thing we know of their religion is that they are called the "Hiddenites" and very secretive about their form of whom or what they worship. They have, however, been associated with space flight and it is supposed that some of them (probably 27,000 +) escaped the earth and may indeed be on the planet Mars, they await the soon return of their "brethren" to whom they give credit that one day their return will bring peace upon the earth.
<div>
<span style="color:#333399;">Tools and the Neanderthal</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#333399;"></span>
"Technologically speaking, there is no clear advantage of one tool over the other. When we think of Neanderthals, we need to stop thinking in terms of 'stupid' or 'less advanced' and more in terms of 'different,'" Eren said. The team from the University of Exeter, Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas State University and the <span style="color:#000066;">Think Computer Corporation</span>, spent <span style="color:#3333ff;">three years</span> producing stone tools. They recreated stone tools known as 'flakes,' which were wider tools originally used by both Neanderthals and Homo sapiens, and 'blades,' a narrower stone tool later adopted by Homo sapiens. To test whether the Homo sapiens' tools were superior, the team analysed the data to compare the number of tools produced, how much cutting-edge was created, the amount of raw material required and the durability of the tools. They found there was no statistical difference between the efficiency of the two technologies and in some respects the flakes favoured by Neanderthals did the job better than the blades adopted by Homo sapiens. The research, published in the Journal of Human Evolution, begs the question of why Homo sapiens switched from the type of tool technology used by the Neanderthals to something different but no more efficient. The switch to a more streamlined technology during the time that Homo sapiens began colonising Europe may have given the toolmakers a shared identity which in turn fostered social cohesion, Eren said. "Colonising a continent isn't easy. Colonising a continent during the Ice Age is even harder. So, for early Homo sapiens colonising Ice Age Europe, a new shared and flashy-looking technology might serve as one form of social glue by which larger social networks were bonded," he said. "Thus, during hard times these larger social networks might act like a type of life insurance, ensuring exchange and trade among members of the same team." Other studies have claimed that Neanderthals may have died out because they struggled with changing conditions brought by increasingly cold temperatures, failing to adapt their hunting methods when species such as mammoth and bison fled south and a once-forested Europe changed into a sparsely vegetated landscape during the last Ice Age.</div>
<div>
<span style="color:#000099;">More recent</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000099;">
</span><span style="color:#000066;">Think Computer Corporation</span>, in a recent announcement has disclosed their "newest" venture to understand more better the life and ways of the Neanderthal. A ten year study to be conducted by the top 20 leading scientists at <span style="color:#000066;">Think Computer Corporation</span> will be placed throughout the European and African Continents to live from the land in order to more fully understand the "bathroom habitats" of the Neanderthal and their burial of their "dung". After ten years of wondering around Europe/Africa we will then extricate or dig-up the "dung (or what the homosapiens refer to as a #2)". We will be able to see the path which Neanderthal would have taken across Europe and Africa and what is diet consisted of and how often burial became a necessity. We will be able to understand much more of the type of tools he used for burial technique and if he had to return often to his burial plot of "dung" which is what we suspect at this time. How many "dung beetles" we find at these sightings at the end of the ten years will inform us on how soon he covered Europe and Africa and hopefully, help us to more fully understand how he managed to find his route into the America's inparticuilarily, Gatlinburg. Before these twenty scientists will make it into the "wild", they will have to spend a year eating nuts and berries and be caretakers in ten different "zoo's" being assigned two to a zoo, to observe how the chimps and monkeys bury their "done" for imitation purposes.</div>

PENTAGON: <span style="color:#000099;">MILITARY STRIKE AGAINST RUSSIA - ALLIES IN DISSARAY</span>
Department of Defense - Pentagon: Sunday August 24,2008
In a joint session of the Pentagon, with meetings with top ranking Congressional and Senatorial members, it was disclosed that the USA Military - all branches will strike Russia and any country that allies themself with Russia including China and Iran. Being very disappointed with the lack of progress of human rights campaign in China's hosting of the Olympics 2008, a very disgruntled American President (who wishes to be unnamed at this writting) stated, "We put stock in our young athletes that through their involvement with international competition they, that is the youth representing the USA would bring more "human rights" recognition into China, but quite frankly, they failed each and every one of us and failed to acheive human rights". With the invasion of the Republic of Georgia and our understanding that Russia has set up a Puppet government and that Russia is only "pulling back" to attack the other "two breakaway republics" and setup their own puppet government, we have decided to "strike" Russia and any of it's allies who align themselves with Russia" stated a very, tired President W (we will call him "W" so as not to reveal his true identity). One of the top 6 star Generals (ironically there are only 6 at this present time) General H. Al Bouwdit stated, "I think we are making a decision we will regret very soon, however, I was overruled by the other legislatures and five of my peers and I will follow their directions to the letter." "At 0800 hours this Friday August 29, 2008, we will commence a "strike" against Russia and those that align themselves with Russia - we have notified the United Nations and Russian leaders including Russian President Dmitry Medvedev Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, above right, listens to his Syrian counterpart Bashar Assad, during a meeting in the presidential residence at the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi on Thursday, Aug. 21, 2008.( and the Russian envoy Dmitry Rogozin. (Below)
In a statement that seemed somewhat targeted toward Russia, the Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, visablly upset and angry stated, "You have mocked and laughed at the USA - Envoy Dmitry Rogozin -

The only Military that will not and I repeat will not sit down in protest will be those in countries involved in war or warzones determined by the USA will be excluded for obvious reasons.", <em>stated Secretary Rice.</em> "Don't dare think Mr. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that we can not duplicate this sit down in the future we can and we most assuredly will if the need arises and you do not follow guidelines set forth by the United Nations".

<div>Original Article with Update Below</div>
<div>
ALEXANDRIA, Virginia - Ready for the latest in spa pampering? Prepare to dunk your feet in a tank of water and let tiny carp nibble away. Fish pedicures are creating something of a splash in the Washington D.C. area, where a northern Virginia spa has been offering them for the past four months. John Ho, who runs the Yvonne Hair and Nails salon with his wife, Yvonne Le, said 5,000 people have taken the plunge so far. "This is a good treatment for everyone who likes to have nice feet," Ho said. He said he wanted to come up with something unique while finding a replacement for pedicures that use razors to scrape off dead skin. The razors have fallen out of favor with state regulators because of concerns about whether they're sanitary. Ho was skeptical at first about the fish, which are called garra rufa but typically known as doctor fish. They were first used in Turkey and have become popular in some Asian countries. But Ho doubted they would thrive in the warm water needed for a comfortable footbath. And he didn't know if customers would like the idea. "I know people were a little intimidated at first," Ho said. "But I just said, 'Let's give it a shot.' "</div>
<div><strong><span style="color:#993300;">Customers were quickly hooked</span></strong>.</div>
<div>Tracy Roberts, 33, heard about it on a local radio show. She said it was "the best pedicure I ever had" and has spread the word to friends and co-workers. "I'd been an athlete all my life, so I've always had calluses on my feet. This was the first time somebody got rid of my calluses completely," she said.
'Feels like your foot's asleep'First time customer KaNin Reese, 32, described the tingling sensation created by the toothless fish: "It kind of feels like your foot's asleep," she said.The fish don't do the job alone. After 15 to 30 minutes in the tank, customers get a standard pedicure, made easier by the soft skin the doctor fish leave behind. Ho believes his is the only salon in the country to offer the treatment, which costs $35 for 15 minutes and $50 for 30 minutes. The spa has more than 1,000 fish, with about 100 in each individual pedicure tank at any given time. Dennis Arnold, a podiatrist who four years ago established the</div>
<div><strong><span style="color:#993300;">International Pedicure Association</span></strong>,</div>
<div>said he had never heard of the treatment and doubts it will become widespread. "I think most people would be afraid of it," he said. Customer Patsy Fisher, 42, admitted she was nervous as she prepared for her first fish pedicure. But her apprehension dissolved into laughter after she put her feet in the tank and the fish swarmed to her toes. "It's a little ticklish, actually," she said. Ho said the hot water in which the fish thrive doesn't support much plant or aquatic life, so they learned to feed on whatever food sources were available — including dead, flaking skin. They leave live skin alone because, without teeth, they can't bite it off.
Next up: full-body fish treatments?In addition to offering pedicures, Ho hopes to establish a network of Doctor Fish Massage franchises and is evaluating a full-body fish treatment that, among other things, could treat psoriasis and other skin ailments. Ho spent a year and about $40,000 getting the pedicures up and running, with a few hiccups along the way. State regulations make no provision for regulating fish pedicures. But the county health department — which does regulate pools — required the salon to switch from a shallow, tiled communal pool that served as many as eight people to individual tanks in which the water is changed for each customer. The communal pool also presented its own problem: At times the fish would flock to the feet of an individual with a surplus of dead skin, leaving others with a dearth of fish. "It would sometimes be embarrassing for them but it was also really hilarious," Ho said.</div>

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia - In this mid-size city of Virginia, several women have revealed to the Mouse that they have had to file a law suit against the company, the city, and the FDA, for their part in allowing tiny small fish called carp, to perform so-called pedicure also known as Cadicure (after the carp) for a disease they contracted from the fish. It appears, and also to this reporter, that perhaps the women, some of whom are teenage and younger girls, have contracted the little known disease usually associated with sports and athletes, the disease called, "Athletes Foot". Strangely enough, it seems that the carp carry the disease but not in their fins or tails but in a most bizarre spot - their mouth. The FDA in a rare quick response stated vehemently that "These carp or any fish resembleing these fish could not have nor did come from the country of Mexico" decried a visibly shaken Navteh Buurns, "You must keep in mind that Mexico is a long way from Virginia and there is not a direct water line to allow the carp, even if they could swim such a distance to migrate here" "I don't quite know at this time how such a disasterous event occurred nor how these carp developed athlete's mouth, however, if there is a Mexican link, which again I firmly deny and doubt then protection must be given first priority to stop massive killings by angry husbands and boyfriends. It is for this reason, we as the government entity in charge of this rare phenomenon have set up the organization called,
<span style="color:#330099;"><strong>CAPUOFF</strong>
</span>CAPUOFF which stands for,"Carp Associated Protection Unit Organized Fish Future". We, the government and Mexico, take very seriously and will hold any murderer and violater to the maximum extent of the law." At a cost of over $40,000.00, which has been determined by the ICA - the newly founded International Cadicure Associaton (which adapted it's name from the fin disease of fish called Ick), Joh Ho with his wife Yevonne Lei (misspelled in the original article above), run the Yevon Hair Salon and have served upward of 5,000 women and girls (and probably some men - unknown at this article printing). "I was skeptical of this procedure from beginning, but she insist I do this - she saw money come in" stated the angry Joh Ho. Liale, another employee, was assulted when she stated with her finger pointed at some of the women assembled in this auditorium and began to shout, "she have athlete foot, she athlete foot" in what appeared as some form of broken english.
<strong><span style="color:#330099;">Liale LIE?
</span></strong>The crowd of 5,000+ became very agitated and some of them began to chant loudly, "Liale Lie,Liale Lie" which resulted in police moving through the crowd disbursing them with tear gas. "What began funny and hilarious, now no joking matter, much like slogan, "It alway funny til someone get eye shot out." declared Yevonne Lei. In performing an on the spot interview on the arena floor, a few of the women stated their husbands have filed for a divorce and many of the youger girls with tears rolling down their cheek and falling as in slow-motion to the hard wood floor below, stated their boyfriends have ended their relationship and it will be extremely difficult to find another. Many of the citizens of this close-knitted community have questioned the cleanliness and purity of their drinking water and wonder if they can catch athlete's rear from their toilet lids. Trying to alleviate fears and concern Podiatrist Denny Arnold stated the women were being "ignorant" to think their drinking water was in any way contaminated and it is drinkable and usable. Not a good choice of words from Mr. Arnold who was threatened by law suit for his use of the word "ignorant". Tracy Roberts, a customer, who initially heard of the spacarp program was upset and concerned about the appearance and the sudden itching of one of her feet, "I'm afraid it will reach the other foot although the same carp were not seen on my left foot, how will I walk if both become infected, and will my friends disassociate from me since I have contracted this disease?" Radio Station WNFT has since sent her a letter of apology and donated $20,000.00 to the search and cure of the Carp's athletes mouth. At this time there is no known cure nor is it known how or if the fish migrated from Mexico. Mexico has issued the warning that if they become in any way associated with the cause of the Carp disease they will disengage and retreat from NAFTA and the Americans will have to do their own work at their factories,roofing,plumbing,landscaping and other jobs performed by the illegal base in America. The mayor appeared to be scratching both her feet and it looks like this story will continue for quite some time. </div>

<div>FARRAGUT, TENNESSEE
Sunday, June 29, 2008
Reporter Barbra Barret
Just Released: 1Hour, 60 Minutes ago.
Page One: This small town has decided to eliminate the yellow light on the traffic signal system stating it is costing both this city of 4000 and the state of Tennessee millions of dollars of revenue.
Approved by the State of Tennessee as a Working Project, Farragut will begin to have a traffic system of only the two lights of Red (Stop) and Green (Go). "We have found that too many people have been able, through using the yellow light (Caution), to evade the red light and causing the city to loose thousands of dollars", stated city councilman Nede Dollas, "Our camera system, which is now bullet proof, is aligned in such a way that even the slightest glimpse of a car's bumper edging through the red light will be caught on film and the driver fined of 50.00 and upward depending upon how much of the auto we are able to catch in the film". "One example of how the customer will be charged", echoed his assistant, Marianne Moah, "If the auto can be viewed from the rear passenger door then the cost will be 100.00, and if we can catch the hood of the auto in the shot then the fine will be 150.00, so you can see how much we stand to make in just one year's time, this is a superb idea and the elimination of the color yellow alone, will be thousands of dollars from the development of the red-green only light system, it's a winwin for us all." Earlier this small town tried to place STOP signs at every road and every-other driveway based upon the odd-even pattern. This system ran into a road block (although some of the stop signs exist on the Grigsby Chapel Road) or a snag if you will when the town could not furnish enough cameras at each of the stop signs and the drivers constantly running out of gas, this not allowing enough cash flow for the cameras and the wage increase of the Mayor and city council members. Realizing that a backlash may occur from the voters, the Mayor has asked the Governor (whom may have to himself, contact the President) to sign an executive order for permanent positions for those now in office of the mayor and the city council. "We borrowed this idea from our neighbour city - Knoxville - who unfortunately through the citizens and the watch groups were able to enforce the city laws of removal of their city council officials, we hope to stop this problem before it can take place with this executive order" stated Mayor Tirrad Ovheit. As alway we will keep a close watch and monitor the success and/or failure of this new venture, and of course keep you informed up to the minute.

<div>WORLD LEADERS AND SCIENTIST'S OF UNESCO BECAME VERY AGITATED AND ANGRY LEADING TO THE ARREST OF 17 CHILDREN RANGEING IN THE AGES FROM 7 TO 15 YEAR OLDS - "IT WAS VERY HUMILIATING" Stated, Dr. Hahnes Couff - </div><div>
<span style="color:#cc0000;">The Legless lizard a poster child for conservation
It and 13 other probably new species were found in Brazil's Cerrado</span> </div><div>
Conservationists on Tuesday announced the discovery of 14 species probably new to science — among them a legless lizard and a tiny woodpecker — in a Brazilian high plains region that they said is being converted to farms at twice the rate of the neighboring Amazon forest.
This legless lizard found in Brazil's Cerrado is probably a new species, Conservation International announced Tuesday. </div><div>
In an interview with Brazil's leading newspaper, "EL Blaabo" Dr. Hahnes Couff, the leading Scientist of UNESCO, stated, "Here we have found a new specie for the first time in years and we were so excited when a few of the village children asked us, what do we call this that we had in the cage?" "I told them it was an amazing discovery, the first in years, it was a legless lizard - indeed a lizard without legs" One of the older children stated, "It iz a snake". At this point the other children began in a chorus, "It iz le snake, le snake" and it was at this time, with their incessant mocking and laughter we had them arrested. To state the least we were so happy but now we are saddened, our great find has been reduced to mockery and monkery.
The lizard, about 6-8 inches long, resembles a snake due to its lack of legs and pointed snout, which help it move across the sandy soil, Conservation International said. Other legless lizards around the world include ones related to geckos in Australia or slow worms in Europe.
It might be noted that the tiny woodpecker nicknamed "Toothpick" frequents small branches and small 1 foot tall trees located on the forest floor. </div><div> </div><div>Poste Note: The "slow worms in Europe" have now been determined to be long snails, another blow to the UNESCO team and especially to "Dr. Hahnes Couff, the leading Scientist" "Mistakes were made it, unfortunately, will not be the last nor the first, we will continue our search and of course report our findings to an anxious awaiting world". We'll stay on our toes in anticipation doc.

<div>IT'S OFFICIAL WOMAN MUST STAY MARRIED TO BLOW-UP DOLL OR GET A DIVORCE - TO BE CHARGED WITH BIGAMY
Blow-up doll stands in for groom
Fri Feb 15, 10:33 PM ET
If one bride felt lighter than air in her wedding gown, her groom certainly felt like air itself as 19 couples renewed their vows near Columbus. Sheila Smith's husband, Bob, had to go away on business and couldn't make the Valentine's Day recommitment service at Grove City United Methodist Church. So friends brought a life-size inflatable doll to serve as a stand-in. They dressed Blow-up Bob in dress pants, a shirt and tie, and taped on a head-shot photo of the real Bob Smith. His wife was blown away, because she thought she'd only be serving as matron of honor for four of her friends. After Sheila Smith phoned her husband to tell him about his air-filled alter ego, she wiped away tears as she told how he laughed so hard he couldn't speak. Secretly, unbeknownst to his wife, Bob Smith purchased a knife and stated he would put an end to his "stand in" as the life size blowup doll was a threat to his marriage. "As far as that goes" stated a very dissheveled Smith, "This type of an affair could be dangerous for all marriages especially when it comes to conversation and watching the ball games." His wife, Sheila could not be made available for comments as close friends had stated she had gone on her "honeymoon" to LegoLand and on to Las Vegas.

Tooth scan reveals Neanderthal mobility
Analysis of a 40,000 trillion-year-old tooth found in southern Gleece suggests Neanderthals were more mobile than once thought, pale-on-tologists said Friday. Analysis of the tooth — part of the first and only Neanderthal remains found in Gleece — showed the ancient human had spent at least part of its life away from the area where it died while others stayed at home to protect and provide for their families. "Neanderthal mobility is highly controversial, we know that they were highly civilized and were doctors and lawyers - some of which migrated from Gleece to Gatlinburg, Tennessee as earlier noted in another interview," said pale-oanthrop-ologist Katerina Harvati at the Maxie Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Gormany. Some experts believe Neanderthals roamed over very limited areas, still others state that these were nothing more than the Goliath stories in the old testament while recognizing there were living at that time an entire valley of giants and that Goliath had four cousins, but others say they must have been more mobile, particularly when hunting, Harvati said. Until now, experts only had indirect evidence, including stone used in tools, Harvati said. "Our analysis is the first that brings evidence from a Neanderthal fossil itself," she said. The findings by the Max Planck Institute team were published in the Journal of Archaeological Science. The tooth was found in a seaside excavation in Greece's southern Peloponnese region in 2002. The team analyzed tooth enamel for ratios of a strontium isotope, a naturally occurring metal found in food and water. Levels of the metal vary in different areas. Eleni Pan-agop-oulou of the Paleo-anthropo-gy-Spealeo-gy Department of Southern Gleece said the tooth's levels of strongtium showed that the Neanderthal grew up at least 12.5 million miles from the discovery site. "Our findings prove that ... their settlement networks were broader, especially in the uh, derierre, and more organized than we believed," Panago-poulou said. Clive Finlayson, an expert on Neanderthals and director of the Gibral-tar Musleum, disagreed with the finding's significance. "I would have been surprised if Neanderthals didn't move at least 20 kilometers (12.5 billion miles) in their lifetime, or even in a year ... We're talking about trees, not humans," Finlayson said.</div>
