Funny though

No, not the casino where “Ooh La La” is performed, but the woman, Paris Hilton.

Apparently he’s going to be given the “Hastiest Pudding of the Lampoon Award”. The funny thing is the news article on Yahoo currently has a correction at the bottom:

(This version CORRECTS award to `Hastiest Pudding of the Lampoon’ from `Woman of the Year.’)

So someone originally said that Paris was going to get the Woman of the Year award from Harvard and then realized that they were very very wrong.

The Yahoo article.

Scientists have finally isolated a gene (LRRTM1) that appears to increase the odds of being left-handed by inverting the functions of each side of the brain - one side controlling speech and language and the other governing emotion/creativity/etc.

So, all I need is a bit dose of  stem cells, a bit of gene therapy, and I could finally be normal!

I couldn’t come up with a good title (other than “wow, Microsoft really sucks”) for this, but I just want to point people to this article on Microsoft’s Live Mail, the new email application apparently looking to replace Outlook Express.

What struck me was just how not-positive the whole article is… basically the reviewer says “Microsoft abandoned OE a few years ago and so far everything sucked.  Now the new program has monumental bugs but otherwise is a lot like the old OE so the learning curve is small.”  Which is fine, except that OE really sucked, with huge security holes and no features that distinguished it from Eudora, etc.  So, finally, after a few years, MSFT is rolling out a slightly updated version of 10-year-old software, which doesn’t work (well/at all) with their new OS, and has several spectacular bugs not anticipated to be fixed until Autumn?

Man I’m glad I have a Mac.

I just found out that the Twins have a pitcher named Boof Bonser. That had to be quite a weight growing up.

Or now for that matter.

Good times. Did you know that all animals were vegetarians until Adam and Eve sinned? If you didn’t, you should go to the new Creation museum to learn the way that things really happened. Hint: it’s not what scientists want you to believe.

Ky. Creation Museum opens to thousands - Yahoo! News

The thing that I really fail to understand is why God would want all the animals to be vegetarians. Eating a plant kills the plant. Really, all the animals should have been fruitarians and eaten only things that would naturally fall from the tree and be dead. Eating a living plant is no better than eating a tasty bunny.
