Did Text-Messaging Lead to N.Y. Crash? Take a giggly cheerleader. Give her a Cinderella driver’s license, an SUV and a cell phone. Then throw four more cheerleaders in the vehicle with her. What do you get? Well, moms and dads, you get a fiery crash. My cell phone account gives me a complete list of all calls and text messages sent and received from the three phones on the account. The girl’s parents had to have a clue. I won’t even go into the utter foolishness of putting a new driver at the wheel of an large inertial mass. “We got it for safety,” they’ll tell you. Well, the safest vehicle is one that has an attentive driver.

Look what blew into my house. His name is Mr. Breeze , AKA Breezy, AKA Lil Boi. This little boy blew into our backyard, and when attempts to locate his owner were unsuccessful we gave him to a local rescue organization, Kitty Colony in Jenkintown, PA. He kind of stuck in my head so after a couple of weeks we went back and adopted him. “The girls” are not pleased.

Ok, so they’re not flowers, they’re lemniscates. If you are using IE 5.01 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later and the Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components, you can play with this interactively by clicking on the flower. IE may give you a security warning. Apparently IE doesn’t trust Excel. The equation is ampl + PM * SIN(petals * theta) ^ exp Where Petals is the number of petals in the lemniscate, PM is +1 or -1, ampl is a unit to add to the SIN function and exp is an exponent theta is the angle – you can’t change this. Try the following data: shape ampl petals PM exp lemniscate 1 6 1 1 cardioid 1 0.5 1 1 circle 1 0.5 1 2 infinity 1 2 -1 1 Have fun!

Girl’s death stirs debate over psychiatric meds : Parents of 4-year-old accused of intentionally overmedicating daughter What is particularly heinous about this crime is that the parents were using psych meds as punishment instead of teaching their 4-year-old how to behave. The end came when the little girl was physically ill and the parents drugged her to shut her up. I think they both deserve to get the needle themselves.

Inside the Hotdog Factory: 39 Years Ago Today: Anniversary of the Death of Lenny Bruce An insight into neurolinguistics from an unexpected source. Lenny Bruce had died over 10 years before I first heard this on a vinyl LP back in the late ’70s. “Believe me, I’m not profound, this is something that I assume someone must have laid on me, because I do not have an original thought. I am screwed. I speak English. That’s it. I was not born in a vacuum. Every thought I have belongs to somebody else. Then I must just take, ding ding ding, somewhere.” — Lenny Bruce

Thought for the Day: “ You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” — Jim Rohn Quoted by Gary Craig in the EFT Insights Newsletter (July 6, 2007)

pupsam_selfkisss_diaporama Surfing the ‘net and came across this wonderful set of photos in which photographers show their imagination and Photoshop skills by creating an picture of themselves kissing themselves, hence “ Selfkisss .” [Spelling intentional.] What is surprising is the range of emotions expressed in the photos, and how true the photographers/artists were to themselves in creating a fanciful moment of self-love. ‘The marvellous thing about a photograph is that it captures a glance, a gesture, a moment, fleeting reality, the wellspring of emotion. However, what is presented here does not exist, never existed and will never exist. But through technical mastery, one stands before it, like a aerialist on his wire, in unstable balance between “I believe it” and “I do not believe it.”‘ — Louis Samaria, Pupsam Tr. Leslie

Surfing the ‘net again. The Christians have created a new fear – that a gay baby may have taken up residence in your uterus. Horrors! We liked it much better when Mia Farrow was infested with the Spawn of Satan in the movie “ Rosemary’s Baby .” Is Your Baby Gay? Pretty soon, a DNA test could tell you In a culture that encourages us to customize everything from our Nikes to our venti skinny lattes, perhaps it is only a matter of time before baby-making becomes just another consumer transaction. Already have a girl? Make this one a boy! Want to impress your boho friends? Make a real statement with lesbian twins! Is Your Baby Gay? What If You Could Know? What If You Could Do Something About It? Christians must be very careful not to claim that science can never prove a biological basis for sexual orientation. We can and must insist that no scientific finding can change the basic sinfulness of all homosexual behavior. The general trend of the research poin...
