With the current congress in shambles, shouldn't they attempt to patch things up to get some key legislation passed before the election to show that they are willing to get things done in Washington no matter who is the President?

Does anyone know of a program/application that allows you to play backgammon OFFLINE WITH MULTIPLAYERS? I know Maxgammon does, but its a trial version and allows only 1 hour of game play. Are there any free downloadable programs?

This one is about how materialistic gain could end up destroying the culture it stands for.


Do You Care?

Why, havent you yet bought a tripod for your ipod?
I find that freakishly weird.
Havent you seen that new ad, brand new fad,
Youre behind the times don't you fear?

When the hippy was new what did you do?
Forget to cut your hair?
And seventies flairs who really cares,
Theyre in the past, aren't you there?

Did you forget to hear white phones in your ear,
Travoltas got no flair?
Dont talk, dont walk, just type and gawk,
At your neibours grisly bear.

Look down on him with a bigger grin,
Thats all you really care.
So hes the same and whos to blame?
Yes to be fair; I really couldnt care less.

The big-game hunter walked into the bar and bragged to everyone about his skills as a hunter. The man was undoubtedly a good shot and no one could dispute that. But then he said that he could recognize any animal’s skin by feeling it, and he could tell what caliber rifle was used to shoot it by locating the bullet hole.

This was a bit too much for the other customers, and soon a heated argument started. The hunter said that he was willing to prove it if they would put up the drinks, and the bet was on. They blindfolded him and took him to his first animal skin. After feeling it for a few moments, he announced, "Springbok." Then he felt for the bullet hole and declared, "And it was shot with a .22 rifle."

He was right! The others could not believe it and the argument was even hotter than before. When someone suggested that he must have peeped, he said that he was prepared to do it again for another round. So they blindfolded him again, very thoroughly this time, and they brought a skin that someone happened to have in the trunk of his car.

He took a bit longer this time and then said, "Kalahari Lion." Fingering the bullet hole, he added, "The rifle was a .308."

He was right again! This only made the crowd more curious, and he had to prove his skills over and over again, every time winning a round of drinks. Finally he staggered home, bombed out of his mind, and went to sleep. The next morning he got up and saw in the mirror that he had one hell of a shiner. So he said to his wife, "Listen, I know I was drunk last night, but not too drunk to know that I didn’t get into a fight. So where did I get this black eye?"

His wife replied angrily, "From me!"

"What did I do?" he asked.

She replied, "You got into bed and put your hand inside my panties. Then you fiddled around a bit and announced, 'Skunk, killed with an ax!'"

I saw this video on interesting human body facts that said the human brain still sends electrical wave signals 37 hours after death. If this is true, theoratically does that mean a person still can dream even after dying?

Here is the question: Patients with (i'll give you values that are the same on both eyes) sph-0.25 cyl-3.00, sph-0 cyl-3.50 and shp-1.75 cyl-0. Do all these people need in fact the same glasses as the equivalent sphere is the same to all of them? If so, what is the difference on the different values? Regards, thanks.

People of the Past living in the time of Jesus failed to recognize Him as judged him as He appeared with none of those signs were fullfilled literally, mentioned by Moses ,like He will come on the cloud or He will kill the enemy with the sword and will seat on throne of David ,will come from an unknown place these things made the people make a wrong judgement as lost the true spirit and meanings of the book.
Even though He came on the cloud as they misjudged Him didn`t see His true identity ,killed the enemy of the hearts of many nations later on with His teachings and made them living safe ,His message was from Unknown place to us which is from heaven not earth,,,,,,,,,,and now how these people can claim they will know him when returned? Even though He has said I shall come to you like a Theif in The Night.

OK this is killing me....in Baltimore, two separate incidents have happened this week where white people were severely beaten by gangs of black kids, just for being white. This is the definition of hate crime. If it were opposite, all we'd be seeing on tv were the usual race pimps (who make millions of dollars trying to dig up racism where it doesn't exist) trying to stir up hate and segregate black people even more. But i'm sure when a white person brings a gun on board a bus for self defense and shoots someone to protect themselves, and that person happens to be black, it will be all over the news and will be branded a hate crime and there will be statements said like, "he only shot him cuz he was black". My question is, to black people, I think Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are setting black people back decades and if MLK was alive to see it, he would puke. This was not his dream, it was unity. What do you think?

Hi all...

I seem to remember a few years ago that there was a documentary video about the areas covered by the lovely BBC R4 Shipping Forecast.

Does any one have any further info on this as despite my best attempts on Google, I cannot find out even what it was called, never mind how to get hold of a copy !!
