Angry About High Gas Prices?… We Were Warned…
Over the last 25 years, opportunities to head off the current crisis were ignored, missed or deliberately blocked, according to analysts, politicians and veterans of the oil and automobile industries. What’s more, for all the surprise at just how high oil prices have climbed, and fears for the future, this is one crisis we were warned about. Ever since the oil shortages of the 1970s, one report after another has cautioned against America’s oil addiction.
Ninety percent of Americans expect the pain at the pump to pose a financial hardship in the next six months, according to a recent Associated Press-Yahoo News poll. Stocks now trade inversely to crude prices, and the Dow Jones industrials are in bear-market territory. Old icons have been written off, with Starbucks boasting nearly twice the market value of General Motors, which some on Wall Street say faces the possibility of bankruptcy.

Sorry For The Late Posts… I Busted A Gut… Literally…
I had a little setback with my belly stitches… Seems that bending over to pick up a dropped telephone was a no-no… A few drops of super glue (or something very similar) did the trick of putting my oozing insides back where they belong…
But At least I didn’t have to go through whatever these guys had to deal with!!!

Scientists Blow The “Aztec Death Whistle”…
An old indian medicine man told me that hearing the sound of the “Death Whistle” was very bad JuJu… So I haven’t listened to the recordings on CNN’s site… Do so at your own risk.
Scientists were fascinated by the ghostly find: a human skeleton buried in an Aztec temple with a clay, skull-shaped whistle in each bony hand.
But no one blew into the noisemakers for nearly 15 years. When someone finally did, the shrill, windy screech made the spine tingle.
If death had a sound, this was it.
Roberto Velazquez believes the Aztecs played this mournful wail from the so-called Whistles of Death before they were sacrificed to the gods.

Eating Magic Mushrooms Good For You… Say Scientists
I spent a fair amount of time in the early 80′s wandering through cow pastures in the Great Northwest looking for these…
From Nature.com:
The benefits for people who have had positive or even mystical experiences induced by the psychedelic drug psilocybin — the psychoactive ingredient in ‘magic mushrooms’ — linger for as much as a year, according to the latest follow-up study of such patients.
The study offers more support to those who argue that, when used responsibly, some drugs more commonly taken for leisure can safely be used to relieve the stress associated with severe chronic diseases such as cancer.
English Will Soon Change To A Strange Language…
From Wired.com
The targeted offenses: if you are stolen, call the police at once. please omnivorously put the waste in garbage can. deformed man lavatory. For the past 18 months, teams of language police have been scouring Beijing on a mission to wipe out all such traces of bad English signage before the Olympics come to town in August. They’re the type of goofy transgressions that we in the English homelands love to poke fun at, devoting entire Web sites to so-called Chinglish. (By the way, that last phrase means “handicapped bathroom.”)
But what if these sentences aren’t really bad English? What if they are evidence that the English language is happily leading an alternative lifestyle without us?
Thanks to globalization, the Allied victories in World War II, and American leadership in science and technology, English has become so successful across the world that it’s escaping the boundaries of what we think it should be. In part, this is because there are fewer of us: By 2020, native speakers will make up only 15 percent of the estimated 2 billion people who will be using or learning the language. Already, most conversations in English are between nonnative speakers who use it as a lingua franca.

What Would You Hunt A T-rex With?..
This is actually a pretty good angle…
In one of my painkiller clouded reveries… I fell into thinking about all the movies where people are shooting at dinosaurs with rifles with no apparent effect… Movies like Jurassic Park and The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms…
So naturally… The question arose… If you had to hunt down a Tyrannosaurus rex and you only could have a common type gun… What would you use?
I thought… “There’s a subject that’ll pull up zero hits on Google.”… Wrong! There are over 400,000 hits … I liked this one. This guy thinks a 30.06 would do the trick.
For me… I’d grab my Marlin model 1894 chambered for .44 magnum with 300 grain solid flat point bullets… Then I’d bang away at the hip joint to get him on the ground… Maybe try for a few lung shots if the angle was right.
Lots of folks think that the big Weatherby’s and elephant rated rounds would work fine… Some folks comment on the fact that African poachers regularly take down elephants with 7.62 ammo from AK-47′s… Admittedly with at least a couple of clips… and from moving jeeps… There’s even a round called the T-rex in .577 caliber… That’s a BIG round! I’m sure it would do the trick.
But what I couldn’t believe was the number of folks who are convinced that you’d need at least an RPG or a minigun… People think that these creatures were indestructable… See what the media does?
Well… After reading up on the subject… I came to the conclusion that since these beasts were made of meat and bone… That any round that could take down a bear would be sufficient.
The only questions that remain are… How big of a rotisserie will we need? And will it taste like chicken?
What’s your opinion?

I Had A Hernia Repaired… I Think They Did Something Else…
I had an umbilical hernia that was about the size of a tennis ball… My HMO thought that maybe It could be done at my kitchen table… After a lot of squawking and screaming… They decided that they’d let the hospital handle it.
It was practically drive by surgery… In by 1… out by 5… And they treated the pain killers like they were barrels of oil… The guy has to cut through 3 inches of blubber before he can even see the thing and then he sews me up to where my belly button is twice as small as before and the nurse is giving me lectures about the dangers of pain medication instead of giving me the meds.
“You can get hooked on this stuff” she says while waving the needle tantalizingly close to my face…” I don’t want to give you too much”… “Give me the damn shot!” I scream… So she switches needles right in front of me and gives me a shot of saline… I want to bite her.
Six shots I get… Four are placebos… Then they throw me out… “We’re sorry”… “Outpatient is now closed”… “You can self medicate at home”…
Swear to God.

Woman Found Screaming… Has Nail In Her Bladder…
A 35-year-old woman with bipolar disorder was found wandering on a highway screaming and crying, with disorganized speech. She was evaluated in the emergency department, and computed tomography of the head revealed a hypodense area. The patient reported that she had a nail in her uterus. In the context of the presentation, this was deemed to be unlikely. However, before magnetic resonance imaging was performed for further evaluation, radiography of the abdomen showed a large nail, which was localized to the bladder on ultrasonography, and an intrauterine device in the uterus. Surgery was scheduled to remove the nail, but on the morning before surgery, the patient painlessly passed a 10-penny 8.3-cm steel nail while voiding. After resolution of this psychotic episode, the patient revealed that her intention was to place the nail in her uterus as a means of protection against being raped, which had occurred in the recent past. She was subsequently admitted to a psychiatric facility.
