Out of Work
swansont writes: The Jobs Of Yesteryear: Obsolete Occupations
No, these were not outsourced overseas. I remember milk delivery — we had an insulated box on the front porch, and got the delivery at about 4 AM a few times a week. The clinking of the bottles as the delivery man walked up to the house would wake me up now and then.… more» |

swansont writes: Lindsay Lohan wants $100M over E-Trade ad
Lohan's lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, said the actress has the same single-name recognition as Oprah or Madonna.

Giving a speech on why life most likely exists in the cosmos. Need Help.
Well as you know, the sheer size of the observable universe (and there could very well be an infinite universe but the observable part is limited), the number of stars, of habitable planets, all that is a good start.

The judge wouldn't have a choice in the salary voted amount on.
(kind of funny, the historical root of "salary" is on topic :-p)
