This is pretty funny and I'm posting it here since MySpace doesn't seem to like it.
I've always said I was a computer nerd, here's proof. It said the average for gals is 38 and for guys is 56. Woohoo! I'm above average.

Oh no he didn't say that!
From SFGate:
"Democratic presidential candidates on Wednesday rebuked Republican rival Rudy Giuliani for suggesting that the United States could face another major terrorist attack if a Democrat is elected in 2008. The former New York mayor did not back down."
(emphasis added)
Questions:
Q: Who was President of the US on September 11, 2001?
A: George W. Bush
Q: What is George W. Bush's party affliation?
A: Republican
Q: Where was Rudy Giuliani on September 11, 2001?
A: Doing damage control after the World Trade Center was attacked. (Probably the only thing he did right during an otherwise dismal turn as mayor of NYC.)
Q: What is Rudy Giuliani's party affiliation?
A: Republican
Q: Any more questions?
And they're afraid we'll have another terrorist attack if a Democrat is elected?
WOW!

Hummingbirds
My father passed away 25 years ago this August. It was 5 weeks before my 17th birthday. It was sudden, a heart attack in his sleep.
He is buried in Colma, a town just south of San Francisco. The local joke is that there are more dead people than living people in Colma.
(Colma became the town for burials after San Francisco outlawed burials within the city limits in 1900 and all bodies were exhumed by 1937. You can read a real brief history of Colma here).
My Dad and I were close, so it was only natural that on the morning of my wedding, I go up to Colma (20 minute drive) and talk to him.
Colma is one of those towns on the San Francisco Peninsula that is usually very foggy and cold. In the, at the time, nearly 15 years I had been visiting him, I usually had to dress warmly. There were a few sunny days, but that was the exception, not the norm. (On one particularly cold and foggy day, they turned on the sprinklers as I sat there.)
So, the morning of my wedding I head up to Colma, and it's a beautiful day. The sun was out, there was no fog to be seen. I sit down on the ground and talk to my Dad and meditate and do whatever. The next thing I know, there are two hummingbirds flitting about the nearby hedge. Not only in those nearly 15 years had sun been a rarity, but I never saw hummingbirds there. And I've seen no hummingbirds in the 10 years since.
That, to me, was a message from my Dad, that he was blessing my marriage. Looking back on what we've been through in the last 10 years, it's nice to know that he might be watching out for us. I get chills every time I think about that morning and probably will for the rest of my life.

CNN Breaking News... HA!
>>>Subject: CNN Breaking News
>>>-- Larry Birkhead is the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby, a court
in the Bahamas rules. Birkhead said he hopes to have custody soon.
Oh I am SO GLAD this was breaking news. I've been on the edge of my
seat for days knowing they were releasing this info today.
NOT!!!
Like there's nothing else going on in the world that they need to track
the baby daddy of some tragic playboy bunny gold-digger.
Dear god, that child is destined for a tragic life. (Christina Onassis
anyone?)
Okay let's see:
war in Iraq and Afghanistan (remember that one?);
impending war in Iran;
delegations to Syria and North Korea;
murders on the streets of Oakland, San Francisco, and other cities;
the destruction of the middle class;
hell, even Imus's comments about the Rutgers Women's basketball team and
the ensuing firestorm.
UGH!
