Sisu, you know, the one that Senator Gore made possible by voting to provide the necessary funding to create the Internet. That Information Superhighway. Unfortunately it is more like Hwy 99 through Shoreline at the moment.

An elderly woman walked into the Bank of Canada one morning with a purse full of money. She wanted to open a savings account and insisted on talking to the president of the Bank because, she said, she had a lot of money. After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client is always right), an employee took the elderly woman to the president's office. The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted to deposit. She placed her purse on his desk and replied, "$165,000". The president was curious and asked her how she had been able to save so much money. The elderly woman replied that she made bets. The president was surprised and asked, "What kind of bets?" The elderly woman replied, "Well, I'll bet you $25,000 that your testicles are square." The president started to laugh and told the woman that it was impossible to win a bet like that. The woman never batted an eye. She just looked at the president and said, "Would you like to take my bet?" "Certainly", replied the president. "I bet you $25,000 that my testicles are not square." "Done", the elderly woman answered. "But given the amount of money involved, if you don't mind I would like to come back at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning with my lawyer as a witness." "No problem", said the president of the Bank confidently. That night, the president became very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of the mirror examining his testicles, turning hem this way and that, checking them over again and again until he was positive that no one could consider his testicles as square and reassuring himself that there was no way he could lose the bet. The next morning at exactly 10 o'clock the elderly woman arrived at the president's office with her lawyer and acknowledged the $25,000 bet made the day before that the president's testicles were square. The president confirmed that the bet was the same as the one made the day before. Then the elderly woman asked him to drop his pants etc. so that she and her lawyer could see clearly. The president was happy to oblige. The elderly woman came closer so she could see better and asked the president if she could touch them. "Of course", said the president. "Given the amount of money involved, you should be 100% sure." The elderly woman did so with a little smile. Suddenly the president noticed that the lawyer was banging his head against the wall. He asked the elderly woman why he was doing that and she replied, "Oh, it's probably because I bet him $100,000 that around 10 o'clock in the morning I would be holding the balls of the President of the Bank of Canada!"

Nice photos. You've got us all drooling over them.

I don't imagine that there will be all that many people working in the underground. Most will probably have offices in Leavenworth.

I like dryad's tree picture. She posed for that painting, don't you know.

BTW, our new little Chihuahua dog came with the name "Paco". What does paco mean anyway?

I can only hope for the sake of your grades that the spell check on your computer is working properly.

You got that right.

Dusted, meaning to beat or better. I dusted him on the golf course.

"Boss". That new album is boss!

Chirp, I'll bet you never knew you are an NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) experiment.

First E-rock got all weird on us. Now it's you. What's this world coming to anyway?

I think that Catturdeat might have been one of trask's avatars. I haven't seen him about in a long while. Someone registered catturd or some such on that British website you might have noticed.

That's the funniest shit story I've ever read.

What the article doesn't mention is that we are saturating our environment with chemicals that have estrogenic effects. An example is the fire retardant found in the plastic of the computer you are using right now. Polybrominated biphenylethers. They aren't much better than the PCB's which have been banned. Then there is bovine growth hormone. The list goes on and on.

The true story. It's up to you.

I'm so flattered. Thank you.

That ladder was placed by the Chinese in 1980. On the first ascent, one climber took off his boots and did a shoulder stand to surmount the step. He suffered frostbite on his feet. That ladder has been used by all climbers since and you had to go and trundle it off. You fiend.

To hear him tell it, his women just can't get enough.
