Was it a meteorite that fell from the sky in Peru, causing the locals to turn into zombies?
Uh, no.
But the locals pointed out this giant crater, and all the locals got sick from it.
The giant crater created by a meteorite would have be powerful enough to set off earthquake detectors.
So then, a satellite fell from the sky and the plutonium power pack has broken open?
Maybe it was a US killer satellite? And it was downed by anti-American forces, thwarting an attack on Iran?
Uh, no.
What you have there is a crater and fumes that are sulfurous and that usually means a hot spring coming up through sulfur bearing rocks.
Deadly to those exposed to the fumes, but deadly boring to others, unless you’re a geology type nerd.

Teabagging For Science
Looks like the next source of stem cells will come from human testicles.
Guys, don’t look to donate your sperm just yet. No. It seems it’s the flesh that makes the sperm that they want to study. Ow!

Your IM client. AOL? Yahoo? MSN Messenger?
Not keeping yours up to date means it’s probably the easiest way of getting a virus to go around your virus program and straight into your machine.
Yahoo is probably the worst of the bunch. They’ve had their ninth exploit exposed just this year.
– MSN Exploit news
– Skype (text chat) exploit
– AOL IM has a recent exploit too, but it may not be quite as severe.
I use Trillian (one of the All In One) IM client and even that is subject to exploit. I’ve since patched my version.

Ever see IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE? Remember the run on the bank? Ever thought it could happen to a bank just a block away from your house?
It’s happening in Britain now.

The most famous moment in the CAROL BURNETT SHOW was when Carol played Scarlett O Hara from GONE WITH THE WIND. She dressed in anything she could find, which ended up being a window curtain, complete with curtain rod. 
And here is the modern day version of a window curtain dress, sans curtain rod, as worn by the previously lovely Justine Bateman.

Which reminds me, I think I need to wash my quilted bedspread.

Why change your mind over gay marriage?
Because your daughter tells you to.
Why would she tell you to?
LOL @ “Teabagging for Science”
“I saw it in a window and I just couldn’t resist.”
LOL! I remember that from the original gag!
I had to find it!
and so I did.
