The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist
threats and have raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.”
Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or

As you all know I veered from the mainstream candidates early on and endorsed Pandora Peaks as my preferred presidential candidate, both for the lyrical nature of the name title combination (President Pandora Peaks just sounds good) and for the huge knockers - but mainly for the huge knockers.

Anyway, I’m posting from a Panera so I’ll have to be short. This came from contributor Dr. Hoist and I thought it was […]

PHOENIX (AP) - It sounds like science fiction but it’s true: A killer amoeba living in lakes enters the body through the nose and attacks the brain where it feeds until you die.
Even though encounters with the microscopic bug are extraordinarily rare, it’s killed six boys and young men this year. The spike in cases […]

I received a nice email inviting me to become happier. How could I say no? The short version of the story is that it is a good site and worth going to if you want to improve your level of happiness. (And who doesn’t want to do that?).
One of the questions […]
