Too cool. Google has expanded its map software to include THE MOON! http://moon.google.com/ (Hint: For an extra "treat", zoom all the way in.)

I am taking tennis course this summer. I found out that serving is a difficult task. you serve, you have to strike the ball into the front-court box. And it is very hard to do it when you want to make your ball goes fast. I also feel that it is difficult to play with another one. I feel I am better at one-on-one. And before I attended my tennis course yesterday, I did some AB-wheel excercise. This excercise really helped me that it had the flow of energy in my arms going smoothly. So I did well in my tennis course last night. Speaking of being playing tennis, do you really need to have certain ability of the strength of your arms--no matter how good or how skilled you are…

I used to work at a fast food restaurant, and one of the things you discover are restaurant report cards. They are these sheets of paper posted on a wall usually near the cooking area. The score is 1-100, 100 being the best. 100-90 means minor violations like a door being open for a few minutes. You look at this sheet and you see an 86, read it because it usually means some kind of pest problem. If it's oh say 76, that's means it's a bigger pest, and I mean size-wise . I go out to eat and I notice that no too many people check these out. Inspectors have noticed too, and have started posting their results online. Another helpful hint is that pest exterminators are postin…

Who has this experience that you receive something you ordered online sent to your house by UPS? I noticed that most their paperbags got some smell, the scent looks like it is from some people spitting. I don't know if it's just me or so are others. Really nasty, it is!

I am feeling so blue, so depressed. I guess it must be the hot weather causing me to be. Who is feeling so irritated because of the hot weather?

Bonjovi. I suffer from a lack of sleep. It aggravates me so that everyone around me, including my freinds my family, practically shut their eyes and are in Z-land.

This is an SOS people: PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU HAVE ANY METHODS THAT HELP YOU GET TO SLEEP, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE E-MAIL ME: phantom3380@yahoo.co.uk Many thanks, the Phantom

Judge in hot water over masturbation claims Oklahoma's Attorney-General wants a state judge removed on suspicion he frequently masturbated and used a device for enhancing erections while his court was in session. Attorney-General Drew Edmondson filed a petition with state judicial authorities seeking the removal of Sapulpa District Judge Donald Thompson, 57, for "conduct constituting an offence involving moral turpitude in violation of the Oklahoma Constitution". Mr Thompson is not immediately available for comment. The judge, elected to the bench in the state's non-partisan judicial elections, is based about 130 kilometres north-east of Oklahoma City. …

Hear, hear! I don't know that there is much that I can add to that. Maybe it should be another thread, but try to name a conspiracy theory more than 20 years old that hasn't been pretty much proven to be true by now, besides the one about fluoridation.

ok i didnt kno which forum this would fit in so i put it here do zombies exist? i keep hearing about the way humans can "reanimate" after they die if a certain virus is introduced and if the brain is not destroyed or damaged is this true?

I went to a bookstore to find a dictionary that is published by Webster. Why I went for Webster, because I know the featuring helps of Webster make people easily understand. But the books sold in the store do not qualify the standard which I need. In webster website, it sort gives you a sense of how the words were gradually formulated. That is etymology. And I think this really help. I can know more vocabulary by talking to people with those words; checking out the meanings of them by going that site. So does any of you know that any diction has exactly same features as the site, please give me the link to embrace it?

As a spin of from the thread "good rock band names" where someone is asking for a new band name. How about listing good rock band names that you have actualy seen advertised, that's what I expected to see in the other thread. I check some listings and can't believe some of them Here's a good one: Eric & The Bunny Boilers (possibly an Echo and the Bunnymen tribute?) And another Our Lunar Activities Also Youcanteatthewordfood I thought that this one was clever - The Contra Band

This is from a "shark quiz" on msn. It starts with this: A shark attack is obviously more likely if you are in the water. It says 30 people got attacked so it's 1 in 10 million in the US who has gotten attacked. But for people out of the water and not near the ocean it would be about zero and if you are in the water it would be much greater (30 in however many are in the ocean in the year).. If you average them then you get 1 in 10 million, is that a far number?

Hello, I am a student and I want to get a head start on my science fair project 'cause all the others were really bad. This year I'm doing a survey and right now I'm in Germany and I cant speak German so I have to start online. Suppose a new technology came out. A new devise in which you install next to your house. It's top of the line, state of the art, brand new. It has many uses. You buy this devise small, but it installs itself, adds its own components, repairs itself, and can build itself to be quite large. Depending on the model, it can construct itself any where from 15 ft. to 180 ft. but on an average of 74 ft. Also depending on the model it weighs anywher…

Mine would have to be Samus Aran. I find it funny how many people think she is a guy.

I have noticed some relevancy between some members posts/replies and creation science. That got me wondering about member's beliefs. Do you believe in Creation Science or Huministic (Evolutionary) Science (the 'big bang')?

Well... yea... i am back. Done me exams. One of the modules was a bitch, and it dragged my average down. hovering around 70% at the moment. Didn't really put much effort into it. I normally start revising the night before the exam which has generaly been my style and has got me through so far. don't know if I should change it. But with 6 exams with 4 in 4days maybe i took a toll. Well anyway I am starving as usual. Hopefully I will start posting again. So... yea... how's everyone been doing?

Me and my mates were messing around with a chemistry set a few months ago and we were working on a chemical that deform some gypsies we knew. We never worked out how to do it. But the thing is while we were experimenting we come up with this potion and my mate sniffed it. He said it really burned his throat then everything was fine. I thought I'd give it a sniff too and I did. Then all of a sudden my mate let out this massive snort!! He sounded like a dragon and it was awesome! After a few minutes I did the same. We went down to his mum and in our snorty voice we both said "Tape the Simpsons cos we're going out" and she started whimpering! We scared lots of other peop…

What does everyone think about the avatar picture under my username? He used to be a smiley face, but he was involved in a tragic accident.

Disney World (Orlando) now requires a fingerprint scan for all visitors entering the park. Universal Studios and SeaWorld are planning to implement similar systems soon. And once your fingerprints are in the system, there's not a single thing you can do about it, because you've voluntarily given that information to a private enterprise. Your ONLY option is not to go. But now that Disney is doing it, it's only a matter of time before everyone else is doing it as well. Full story here.

Cool web site. Thousands of Londoners have uploaded pictures of themselves holding up banners and signs that read "we're not afraid". Check it out. http://www.werenotafraid.com/

Does anyone remember these things from school? How reliable are they, or are they as flawed as IQ tests? If some are reliable, are any of them online?

I don't know. I saw it somewhere else, which is the article. It is like there was a middle-aged woman who utilized the fresh blood of young babes to take shower for keeping her young. Here goes my questions: 1. Was this a true incident? 2. Where did this thing occur at in Europe? 3. Did Holly wood make this into a movie so that I can rent to see? 4. Have you seen this story yet?
