  1. After taking a nibble of a Brazil nut yesterday I had a severe allergic reaction which made my throat swell shut.

    I'm allergic to Texas nuts, particuarly those of that belong to the Redneck variety

  2. thank you guys. Umma, you crack me up. Dude, didya get it or did Umma beat you out? i'm gonna do some research based on your suggestions when i'm back, sunday or monday.

    Not yet. Im waiting to his price comes down. What I really want is a Cannon...

  3. i'm getting a digital camera but being a non-technical type person, i need recommendations. anyone know what's decent, under 500$ and fairly easy to learn? (not a sony, please).

    Cannons, Nikons & Hasselblads are supposed to be the best... I think a Cannon would probably be best in this price range

  4. According to Steve Wishnia, the criteria for the suggested (lol) banning is as follows:

    Clear Channel suggested that certain songs are "inappropriate" for airplay in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks:

    1) Almost any reference to planes

    2) Lyics that took on new context in light of the of the attacks. The Surfaris' instrumental "Wipeout." ROTFL

    3) Funereal Stuff

    4) Antiwar lyrics. John Lennon's "Imagine!!!

    5) Pro-war tunes

    6) Excessively positive songs

    7) Nihilistic songs

    8) Anything by Cat Stevens or Rage Against the Machine

    9) Inexplicable Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York"? Neil Diamond's "America"?

    Maybe they should have stopped playing music altogether

  5. The Coming DVD Format War

    JORDAN GREENHALL sat before a flat-panel television that glowed with remarkably crisp, bright images, offering it as evidence that he could put a full-length movie in high-definition quality on a standard DVD, with room to spare.

    Neat trick.

    So neat, in fact, that it would seem to upstage the efforts of the biggest consumer electronics companies and Hollywood studios, which are choosing sides in a battle between two high-definition DVD formats, Blu-ray and HD DVD. Those formats, expected to reach North America late this year, will require ultra-high-capacity DVD's and a new class of expensive players.

    The advent of Blu-ray and HD DVD may give rise to a format war reminiscent of the Betamax-VHS contest in the early days of videocassette recorders. At stake are potentially billions of dollars in hardware and discs as the demand for high-definition content grows.

    In the midst of the battle, for which the two sides mounted elaborate floor displays this month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Mr. Greenhall is asking, Why wait for the giants to sort it all out? There's a little guy, he said, with a high-definition solution right now: his own company's DivX 6 software.

  6. Vibrators Please

    According to a new international survey, Icelandic women own more vibrators per capita (52 percent) than women in any other country.

    Norwegian newspaper Dagsavisen says that the survey, conducted by condom manufacturers Durex, that the vibrator category is the only category Norwegian women do well in, surpassed only by their Icelandic cousins. The survey reached 350 thousand people in 41 countries.
