Who ever hears about Y2K anymore?! Just 4 years ago I can distinctly remember countless mathmaticians and computer freaks announcing the year 2000 as the year of imminent doom. I'm beginning to think it was all a government conspiracy to inspire the economy and raise funding. Think about it, some genious said "whoa, my computer from the 80's might not show the year 2000 and instead show '00'". Then it was some media giant that decided "hey this phenomenon might mess up a few programs that calculate based on time." After a few more of these braniacs sat down together I am sure one of them said "lets turn this might into a maybe, then charge money for our correction services, while encoraging consumers to stock up on weapons, canned foods, and toilet paper". See, it was far too easy for someone to make this connection 4 years ago, and now millions of people wasted money and time for a might that turned into a maybe.

Fact of the Day
A crocodile can't stick out its tongue.

So Tomorrow is my birthday, so as tradition goes in my house the birthday person gets to pick what food we will have for dinner. It's probably the best thing about birthdays. But I was just watching CNN this morning and they said that each year 96 billion pounds of food is wasted in the U.S. How sad is that?!? If I had 96 billion pounds of food to eat each year.... I'd be a very very happy guy! Also, did you know that food can only be tasted if it is mixed with saliva? I would say try it out... but I dont think draining saliva is a doctor recommended task.

Word of the Day

So I was thinking the other day, if God asked me about running the buisness side of earth and the universe, I think I could offer a few suggestions. First off, I've never understood why it's free to enter the world, but cost's your life to leave it... (well I do understand why, but God is being kinda generous, perhaps too generous) I think a small cover charge upon birth would keep out the riff-raff and would supply billions of dollars for crime prevention, and other such programs (under an "earthland security act")which would ease God's already over-booked schedule. I'd also request that some of those funds be used to initiate a large-bandwith service line which would support a question forum on "Godsite.com" and hopefully encorage consumers to instigate a relationship with tech support and register their warranty with the product manufacturer.
But then I'd have to figure out how to exempt God from paying taxes in every country he operates. (gee this sure get's complicated)
