Granted I am so good at putting my foot in my mouth that I can conclusively prove that I have a size 23 EEEEEE size mouth.  (For those of you not keen on "shoe math" that meant I can fit 2 size 10 1/2 EEE feet in it.)  I have alls been so poor at proof reading my own material that I have been accused of using Miss Takes as my editor in chief but, seriously people, could I screw up as bad as what I mention below?

From Techdirt, I first heard of this "ooopsie".  Seems that Sarah Jones, a Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader/high school English teacher, hired a lawyer to sue thedirt.com for content allegedly posted about her.  She desired to sue for libel.  Now whether, the case is just or not is a seperate issue.  (If one does a Google image seach for her with safe search off, you will notice that this victory may do little to help her "image".  Although I certainly would of paid more attention in English class, I don't know how much I would have learned.)

Again, guilt or inncence matter not for the judgment was awarded because "thedirt.com" failed to respond.  One minor issue, they should have sued "thedirty.com" for that is the site the content appeared on. In the meantime, by lunchtime today, Google News would pop 165 hits for the wrong story.  Could there be 165-166 more lawsuits on this one?

Okay, I am curious as to what kind of an idea this is, as in good, bad or ugly?  I certainly am one to use a toilet and I also like to keep a check on my health... I am just not sure about this particular combination, especially with the 4,100-5,850 USD price tag.  Who would spend that kind of money of money on something that is just going to fill up with crap?

However, I am not everyone and I am sure that some one out there is just dying to get their ass on the Intelligent Toilet.  According to the physorg.com article, it even stores medical data!  I am sorry though, for me, at that price, it had better clean my hind end as well.

So, Uncle Sam is ready to release a new hundred dollar bill. Should we say w00t!? Forgive me for saying so, I seriously doubt it. First of all, who is paying for all this redesigning and retooling? Oh of course, we are, that would be the US Citizens. When I was a kid, I always thought that the U and the S, implies us. A naive view on what I thought democracy was.

Personally, I would have rather see them create some type of new value for this bill. The new bill doesn't impress me any more with it's looks any more than the old one. Rarely, have I even seen the the old ones. Like many, if not most of us, I seldom see more than a thin stack of twenties.

Like many or most, quarks rival the stay of currency in my wallet... Too little in and too much out. Honestly, put Mickey Mouse on the mo-fo and make it spend mo! That is the new bill I want!

This is nothing more than putting a wedding dress on a crack whore and claiming she is a lady of value. Seriously, we don't need a new hundred dollar bill. We need the old ones to be worth something.

I read this article over at Physics.org. It seem that there is a species of frogs that can tune their hearing. The summary also says that it is the only animal known to be able to do that. My observations have doubts about that. Observations are often the first step in understanding new correlations.

I have observed that parents have long been known to have the ability to tune their hearing. Unlike the frogs, I think it has more to do with post-eardrum processing. Regardless, I think we should study this matter further.

Remember the first time you asked Dad for the car? I know my father didn't hear me. There was silence, no acknowledgment... nothing.

I thought he had completely lost his hearing, seizing opportunity, I took the car. Apparently he did hear it start up. Unfortunately, convinced he was deaf and being a dumb sixteen year old with a one day old license, I didn't hear his screams over the burning rubber and revving engine. His hearing was perfectly normal in regards to me turn back into the driveway. Then, as I closed the car door, MY hearing was nearly ruptured by the verbal assault that ensued as if from one of the beast in the Book of Revelation.
