This woman was so worried about a scar that she let one of her two unborn babies die rather than have a caesarean section. I think that with a face like that a scar isn't going to make a lot of difference. Story

Like no one saw it coming when the VP's company gets a no bid contract while he still has financial interest in the company.

I'd heard it opens as early as 8 if there is no new snow. Closes at 6 pm per the MORA website.

"Okay, I take BACK all the lousy, rotten, stinking things I said about you. You're all right." "His brain is so small that if you could put it in a match box, it would bounce around like a BB in a boxcar." "I see can see you must be going to the theater, you are picking your seat."

That is an unusually clear example of an MSDS. Usually they run to four pages, and they say you must wear goggles, apron and gloves to handle the chemical, even when it is something as innocuous as table salt.

Hear that Toast? DustinB?

Kurt, you are taking this a lot more seriously than I am since you are in a closely related business. You are damn right I'm better off not doing that sort of work. I'd either lose my shirt or lose my life!

Done! Thanks. Glad I could help. Oh, by the way, Al Qaida has come out and claimed responsibility.

This isn't insider information. The payoff, if there is one, would only come in about two years when the final results of the phase III clinical trials are made public. So here's my take. The phase II trials are large enough to show significant efficacy. The phase III trials will reveal if there are any relatively rare side effects. If it looks good, I'd say this is a drug worth $2-4 billion a year.

I don't normally dispense medical advice, but Alasdair should go smoke some weed. It would do him some good.

You got that right.

Thanks for that up-to-the-minute report from 6 years ago. I've seen the story before. I wonder if they have resolved their differences.

Of course I don't, but this is SPRAY, the land of wild speculation. Hey, this is really big. For the Spaniards, this is like 9-11.

That's life on the Animal Farm.

But you really have no fucking idea, so who cares who you randomly think it is. You post is about as useful as a fox news online pole. Why do I think it was Al Qaida? The scale is an order of magnitude larger than anything ETA has ever pulled off. Second ETA claims they always announce an attack before it happens. Also Al Qaida has the motive to do it.

Well, sort of, if you call King Pins close.

I saw some of Bush's new TV ads last night. In one of them he keeps saying, "I KNOW what to do" to bring jobs to this country, to keep us safe, to jump start the economy, blah, blah, blah. I couldn't help thinking, "If you've KNOWN what do to for the last four years, why in the HELL, haven't you done it!"

A new drug being developed by Sanofi-Synthelabo called rimonabant works by blocking the same receptors in the brain that are activated by cannabinoids when you smoking pot. It was shown to be effective in smoking cessation and in weight loss, especially in the waist, or so-called "visceral fat". This is going to be a gold mine for Sanofi. Now is the time to buy some stock in the company. This is going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I say it was the work of Al Queda.

"Colder than a brass toilet seat on the shady side of an iceberg."

My Dad remembers the 1938 hurricane on Long Island. It destroyed his grandma's barn.

It appears that the faller didn't want to trouble himself to walk far from his truck, so using four wheel drive, he got just as close to his target as he could get before he parked. Good thinking!

That's why the version with a larger number of questions is more definitive.

Let's go retro, baby!
