CNN.com - School teaches students 'ethical hacking' - Jun 28, 2004
Topic: Miscellaneous 9:18 am EDT, Jun 28, 2004

] The students huddled over laptops at a Los Angeles-area
] college have paid nearly $4,000 to attend "Hacker
] College," a computer boot camp designed to show how
] people will try to break into network systems -- and how
] they will succeed.
]
] "It's an amazing thing how insecure the big corporations
] are," Echemendia said during a break in the weeklong
] seminar. "It's just amazing how easy it is."
]
] ...
] "What we attempt to do in our classes is teach how the
] hackers think," said Dave Kaufman, president of Intense
] School. The only way to keep hackers out of major corporate
] systems, he said, is to know how they will be attacked
] in the first place.

Yes! Somewhere there is a chorus of angels singing their hearts out. "Se-cur-ri-ty, se-cur-ri-ty, hallowed be thy name."

CNN.com - Man sues Atkins over heart problems - May 27, 2004
Topic: Miscellaneous 2:52 pm EDT, May 27, 2004

] WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (AP) -- A businessman sued the
] promoters of the Atkins Diet and the estate of founder
] Dr. Robert Atkins, alleging that the low-carb, high-fat
] meal plan clogged his arteries and threatened his health.
]
] The suit by Jody Gorran, filed Wednesday in Palm Beach
] County Circuit Court, seeks $15,000.
]
] Gorran, 53, said Thursday he started the diet in May 2001
] because his weight had risen from 140 to 148 pounds. In
] two months, he said, his cholesterol rose from a normal
] 146 to an unhealthy 230, and by October 2003, he needed
] heart angioplasty to clear his arteries.

How much of an ignoramus do you have to be to think that the Atkins diet somehow negates the effects of eating too much meat? These are probably the same people that think, "Well, if one glass of wine a day is good for me, think how great 4 will be!"

I. Hate. Stupid. People.

] 6 year old Jessica Lehman of Easley, SC. "Jesus died
] because He was weak and stupid."
]
] And here is dear Ashley, a 9 year old, the typical
] average age reader of Harry Potter: "I used to believe in
] what they taught us at Sunday School," said Ashley,
] conjuring up an ancient spell to summon Cerebus, the
] three-headed hound of hell. "But the Harry Potter books
] showed me that magic is real, something I can learn and
] use right now, and that the Bible is nothing but Boring
] lies."
]
] DOES THIS GET YOUR ATTENTION?
]
] If not, how about a quote from High Priest of Satanism:
] "Harry is an absolute god send to our cause," said High
] Priest Egan of the First Church Of Satan in Salem, MA.
] "An organization like ours thrives on new blood (no pun
] intended) and we've had more applicants than we can
] handle lately. And, of course, practically all of them
] are virgins, which is gravy."
]
] . . . .
]
] Still not convinced? I will leave you with something to
] let you make up your own mind. And finally, a quote from
] the author herself, J. K. Rowling, describing the
] objections of Christian reviewers to her writings:
]
] "I thinkit's absolute rubbish to protest children's books
] on the grounds that they are luring children to Satan,"
] Rowling told a London Times reporter in a July 17
] interview. "People should be praising them for that!
] These books guide children to an understanding that the
] weak, idiotic Son Of God is a living hoax who will be
] humiliated when the rain of fire comes ... while we, his
] faithful servants, laugh and cavort in victory."
]

ROFLMAO!

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Pregnancy (No Sex Please, We're Religious)
Topic: Miscellaneous 10:25 am EDT, May 27, 2004

] Sex is a subject which, because it has long been considered
] an inappropriate subject for public discourse in our
] society, is a particularly favorite topic of non-public
] discourse. We gossip about people who are having sex, we
] gossip about people who aren't having sex, and we gossip
] about people who are having too much sex. We titter about
] people who know too much about sex, and we chortle at
] people who know too little about sex.
]
] The latter point is well-represented in urban folklore,
] which abounds with tales of sexually naive adults who
] don't understand what sex is, have sex the "wrong" way,
] or don't grasp the rudiments of birth control. Thus we
] have tales of childless couples who discover their
] infertility is due to either a complete lack of
] intercourse or to the husband's mistakenly penetrating
] his wife's urethra (because no one ever explained sex or
] proper sexual techniques to them), couples who use
] prophylactics by placing them on the ends of bananas or
] broomsticks (because that's how condom use was
] demonstrated to them), and women aghast at finding
] themselves pregnant even though they've been consuming
] contraceptive jelly.

Update on the German couple who couldn't conceive due to a lack of the proper education.

] with his cellular phone service went to a Fargo mall and
] started hurling phones across a store, striking an

Hahaha! Fargo! Go figure! Who would think there'd be crappy phone service in Fargo?!

At least he had sense enough to protect his eyes.
