I want to know something. Who invented the bathroom exhaust fan? I'll tell you, a genius, that's who. A veritable God among men. Whoever it was may have inadvertently saved civilization from certain ruin.
It's such a simple invention really. A fan attached to a tube to funnel air from one location to another. In this case, it's used to move toxic fumes from their producer to an unknown location, far away from the source. I think this ranks right up there with electricity and the combustion engine as one of mankind's greatest inventions. |

This has got to be one of the funniest names for TV shows I've ever heard of. Leave it to Beaver? I can't believe that in 1957, TV executives couldn't think of a better nickname for Theodore Cleaver. |

Okay, first, if you're looking for actual scientific data, you're looking in the wrong place. I'm totally pulling all this stuff out of my ass but since my ass has been divorced twice, I think I have a little experience in the matter. Plus, I'm a fairly intelligent guy that's pretty adept at figuring things out.
The number one contributor to divorce in America today is the absence of true gender roles. The sixties began the upheaval and the seventies totally fucked it up. Yes, you're reading correctly, I blame the feminist movement. Throw eggs, tomatoes and small sharp objects now. |

If Jesus came back today, I bet he could dunk a basketball. With that whole water-to-wine, healing-the-blind, walking-on-water thing, you know dunking would be a walk in the park. Think about it, Jesus would be one helluva basketball player.
Who wouldn't pick Jesus first on their team? With that son-of-God gig, he's pretty much guaranteed to be the number one draft pick. Would you like to be known as the guy who didn't pick Jesus? Might as well have stoned him.
Can you imagine him playing Jordan one-on-one? Michael would look like a fat girl in heels playing against Jesus. |

I'm as tech-savvy as they come. I've been a computer programmer for a major corporation, I've been a head CIS guy, I've run my own businesses, including one where I built internet sites and presences on the web. As far as the internet goes, I was on it long before Al Gore took credit, back when all you had was grey backgrounds and black text. So I've seen all sorts of scams and stuff come and go. I use the word "email" as a noun and a verb. I don't put that stupid dash in it either (e-mail). I don't say the ubiquitous "www" before I give a web address. And I certainly don't add the "http://" before it like a total geek. I remember calling it a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) before the term "web address" caught on. I remember dialing in with a 9600 baud modem and waiting five whole minutes for my first crappy little dirty picture to download. It wasn't even a good one.
