This year the human population is expected to reach 7 billion.  Wasn't it only about 12 years ago that we reached 6 billion?  Back then, it seemed like a helluva lot of people, and it still does.  But 7 billion?  And in 12 years?  What the hell are we doing?  We are currently experiencing our sixth mass extinction on this planet and yet we still ( Read more... )

GOODYEAR RUBBER COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS TRAGEDY.

Don't think this is true, but still... good for a laugh!  From an email that I got from one of my Yahoo Groups.

I went in early to work this morning to get a jump on the snow that was falling.  I got in around 0630 (nobody there) and got on my computer to transfer some work to my thumbdrive to take home and do.  I wasn't about to stay and get snowed in.

I'm watching that movie "He's Just Not That Into You".  Yeah, yeah, chick flick and all.  I've never seen it, but there's one part that kind of hit home for me.

Jennifer Aniston's character asks Ben Affleck's character if he's ever going to ask her to marry him.  He hesitates, of course, and doesn't say anything, which prompts her to accept her ( Read more... )
