Your sister is wrong. It's totally not a country music song. Even in the manner you sang it:

Don’t go back to Rockvillllllllllllllle
Don’t go back to Rockvillllllllllllllle
Don’t go back to Rockvillllllllllllllle

(beat)

And waste another year

And to my oriental homie in D.C:

Josie's on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I'd like to say
You know I like my girls a little bit older
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

hehehe

This song goes out to...

It sounds almost too good to be true: a cheap and simple drug that kills almost all cancers by switching off their “immortality”. The drug, dichloroacetate (DCA), has already been used for years to treat rare metabolic disorders and so is known to be relatively safe.

It also has no patent, meaning it could be manufactured for a fraction of the cost of newly developed drugs.

Evangelos Michelakis of the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, and his colleagues tested DCA on human cells cultured outside the body and found that it killed lung, breast and brain cancer cells, but not healthy cells. Tumours in rats deliberately infected with human cancer also shrank drastically when they were fed DCA-laced water for several weeks.

So when do the human tests begin?

On May 18 2003, officials overseeing an election in Schaerbeek, a suburb of Brussels, got a shock. An electronic vote-counting machine declared that 4,096 more people had cast their vote than the ballot slips testified. The machine had been thoroughly tested and deemed perfect. So what went wrong?

The answer was, literally, a strike from the heavens.

Technicians pointed the finger of blame at cosmic rays -- particles that zip across the cosmos at huge speed and, while rightly ignored by humans as a health concern, can wreak havoc with highly sensitive microelectronic circuits.

Worse engineering excuse *EVER*.

But maybe it's not so bad. Consider this: On April 13th--Friday the 13th--2029, millions of people are going to go outside, look up and marvel at their good luck. A point of light will be gliding across the sky, faster than many satellites, brighter than most stars.

Intellectual Property Lawyers try to shut down SUCU's McDonald's Recipes! It seems there might be some legitimacy to these recipes.

I made some of these burgers... Yes it tastes just like McD's. I'm pretty sure that there's some magic involved w/ the Q-ing process that makes them taste *WAY* better. Something about wax paper and quantum flavor fluctuations.

MM mm... good.

Supposedly the recipies from Mac D's

Averaging from 4 to 8 pounds, the cylinder shaped spaghetti squash is generally available year-round with a peak season from early fall through winter. While a true spaghetti squash is pale ivory to pale yellow in color, in the early 1990's, an orange spaghetti squash, known as "Orangetti" was developed and this is what is frequently found in today's supermarkets. Higher in beta carotene, the orange variety is also bit sweeter than its paler counterpart, although both have a mild flavor that is easily enhanced by the food served with or on it. A dieter's dream, a four-ounce serving of spaghetti squash has only 37 calories.

Okay so my new favorite way to eat spaghetti squash is w/ microwave melted butter, grated ginger, and a drop of honey. Toss the strands w/ some salt and pepper and green onions.

Almost immediately, he caused a stir after he joined the White House Press Corps in 2005, making waves as the first reporter to ask then-White House press secretary Scott McClellan whether the leaking of CIA agent Valerie Plame's name might be considered an act of treason.

"There has been a lot of speculation concerning the meaning of the underlying statute and the grand jury investigation concerning Mr. Rove," Sanford asked. "The question is, have the legal counsel to the White House or White House staff reviewed the statute in sufficient specificity to determine whether a violation of that statute would, in effect, constitute treason?"

The guy who first asked the Valerie Plame question jumps off a building. Happy New Year's everybody.

This means that right after exporting from SilkyPIX and munging w/ photoshop CS2 I have to import into iPhoto to export to tabblo... yeah I thought computers were supposed to make my life easier.
