What do you think?

Gilligan's Island Years ago, CBS had a popular little series called GILLIGAN'S ISLAND. There is, however, a dark secret about this "comedy" you may never have realized.

The island is a direct representation of hell. Nobody on the island wants to be there, yet none are able to leave.

Each one of the characters represents one of the 7 deadly sins:

- Ginger represents LUST - she wears skimpy outfits, is obsessed with her looks, and is a borderline nymphomaniac.

- Mary Ann represents ENVY - she is jealous of Ginger's beauty.

- The Professor represents PRIDE - he is an annoying know-it-all.

- Mr. Howell represents GREED - no explanation needed.

- Mrs. Howell represents SLOTH - she has never lifted a finger to help on and of their escape plans.

- The Skipper represents two sins: GLUTTONY - again, no explanation needed and ANGER - he violently hits Gilligan on each show.

- This leaves Gilligan. Gilligan is the person who put them there. He prevents them from leaving by foiling all of their escape plots. Also, it is HIS island. Therefore, Gilligan is SATAN.

Crazy? He does wear red in every episode...

Snowmobiles and alcohol are a dangerous mix. Then came the rabbit. After a day spent partying and racing snowmobiles in the wilderness, a group of snowmobilers were headed back to their cabin, when up popped a jackrabbit! They gave chase. Several collisions were narrowly averted, and so all the snowmobiles backed off... except one. This snowmobiler kept his eye on the quarry and rapidly closed in. The rabbit darted aside to save itself. The snowmobiler closed in again. The rabbit ran toward the road, where there was less snow. Trying to ram his rabbit before it crossed the road, the man accelerated to Mach 1. But the rabbit had other ideas. It darted into the culvert beneath the road. Witnesses stated that the snowmobiler never even braked. There was a metallic crunch as the accelerating vehicle rammed into the culvert, followed by a blast that shattered the snowmobile into a thousand bits. This brand of snowmobile had a fuel tank mounted in front. The culvert admitted the tip of the snowmobile, then cut into the cowling, spilling fuel over the hot engine. The body of the snowmobiler was blown twenty feet back into the field. The rabbit's whereabouts was unknown. Source: Wascally Wabbit

Well well, in the world of weird news we have a new one. You med students learning about rectal probes and the anal gaye gland might get tickled with this. A 64 year old West Virginia man who went into surgery to have a rectal tumor removed, is suing his doctor for stapling his rectum shut not allowing him to defecate for 17 days. Dats right 17 days!!!! WOW. The docotor counter claims saying that he did not staple his rectum shut, but that his bowels became swollen after the surgery.

The patient says that since the incident he now has "leakage" and has to wipe 12-15 times a day. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kinda reminds you of the side effects of those healthy oil chips that cause anal leakage or that new OTC diet pills Allie I think it's called where you poo on yourself uncontrollably.

Below is the speech that supposedly killed the bailout. I find it hard to believe they were guilted by that speech, but hey everyone needs something to believe in or someone to blame. Here's a little background on what happened today and how it measures in comparison to the great depression, bullet point style, but check out the link below and share your thoughts.

• House rejected $700 billion bailout plan

• 228 voted against the bill - 95 Democrats and 133 Republicans

• Proposed reasoning for going against Bush: "Almost until the early afternoon vote Monday on the financial rescue plan, voters bombarded congressional offices, protesting almost in unison: Don't bail out renegade financial executives and companies."

• Republican quote of the article: "Rep. Jeff Flake , R- Ariz. , recalled how many people voted for hard-to-understand measures such as the 2003 Medicare prescription drug bill or 2002 legislation giving President Bush broad authority to wage war in Iraq , only to learn later that they'd signed blank checks to Bush that would come to haunt them."

Today vs. Yesteryears

Today:

• The Dow Jones industrials plunged 777 points — their largest point drop ever — or almost 7 percent.
• The decline also surpasses the record for the biggest decline during a trading day — 721.56 at one point on Sept. 17, 2001, when the market reopened after 9/11.
• The Standard & Poor's 500 index declined 8.51 percent
• Nasdaq composite index fell 9.14 percent.

However

• In percentage terms, it was only the 17th-biggest decline for the Dow
• far less severe than the 20-plus-percent drops seen on Black Monday in 1987 and before the Great Depression.

What are your thoughts on what's happening?? INTERESTING TIMES INDEED! Don't forget October 2nd is the VP debate.

Would you live here?

Land of the free home of the brave, that is without a doubt an accurate definition of the U.S.A. Last night i realized just how free and just how brave people really are. After class me and a friend decided that we wanted to grab a quick bite to eat so we headed to this cuban place close by. I love it because it quiet never too crowded people are friendly and the food is pretty good. However last night was a little different, last night i had a run in with a lunatic on a two wheel. Its happened to all of us at some point in our life your turning down a street and some loser on a BMX doesn't see you keeps riding and almost slams into your door. It usually follows with a "look where your going ass hole" and a "screw you" and the respective parties go on about there business. Last night however was verrry different, last night i met the cyclist of doom. After we exchange our respective fuck off's i drive off to find a parking spot. Upon exiting my car to my deep surprise i am greeted bye the cyclist of doom. Rolling up on his BMX he comes "You almost ran me over" of course the natural response was "you need to look where your going". My first thought was that he had to have been INSANE to ride half way cross a parking lot just to tell me i almost hit him. Unfortunately Mr Doom was not finished, he whips out his camera phone (I wish i knew the asshole that invented these shits) to try and take a picture of my listen plate so of course i drive off so he doesn't get a chance to. Then the idiot screams " OHHH and that's leaving the scene of a crime". Now lets stop our story here for one second, the scene of a crime? No one was hit no one was harmed what exactly could he think the crime was......the only crime is that someone gave birth to this nut job. At this point I'm so mad i can barely see straight so i jump out the car and i hear this guy"Hello 911 i was just almost run over bye a car....license plate XXXXXXX the suspect is A BLACK MALE......OHHH HES APPROACHING ME NOW AND I DON'T KNOW IF HES ARMED I'M GOING AROUND THE BLOCK". Its moments like these i wish i was on my backward violent island i love so much because it would have been able to do exactly what needed to be done in this situation. However in a free democratic state where even a homeless drunk on a bicycle can have a camera phone and call the cops to report a non accident i was forced into one choice. Remain calm and don't do anything foolish, there will be moments in your life when demons like this guy try to provoke you into throwing your life away....do not let them because at the end of the day hes still homeless on a bicycle.

Happy Birthday to me!!!! Its my third 21st earthbirth!!!!! Yay me!!!! **clap hands rapidly with glee**

Wish List:
1. A Life!!! Screw Med!!!
2. See #1

San Alfonso del Mar in Chile holds the Guinness World Record for the largest saltwater pool. This pool is over one kilometer in length, it covers eight hectares and holds 250 MILLION LITERS of water. Lets scale it so that you can really appreciate the size...its the equivalent of 6,000 (yup thats the right number of zeros) 8 domestic pools!!!
It boasts that the water is as transparent and turquoise in colour as the topical seas. According to them you can "feeling the enjoyment of the Caribbean Sea right at the Chilean central coast". This is all made possible with advanced techonolgy created by Crystal Lagoons.

So I went through a period ( and by period I mean years!) where my ex-bff (long story) who is Indian tried to get me to accept that I was half-Indian and to make me become one with the culture (*roll eyes* the only thing Indian about me is that I love curry chicken and roti).
So this is quite possibly the only video out of maaaaannnnnyyyy videos (all of them at least 6 mins long) she made me watch that I didn't mind. Its from the movie Lagaan which is pretty good as well.

The name of the song is Radha Kaise Na Jale and its about jealousy...its cute. Krishna is a God (the hottie hot hottie God) and Radha is the love of his life. However Krishna is a bit of a playa and flirts with the gopis (cow-herding girls). So Radha is singing to him about his flirting while Krishna tries to settle her by saying sweet nothing like " In his mind, only the flowers of Radha's love bloom." Aww gee! lol

If you're really that interested I know the subtitles were kinda blurry so check here for the translation.

THROWWWW BBBAAACCCKKKKKK!!!

"The Sistine Chapel of Crystals"

"Buried a thousand feet (300 meters) below Naica mountain in the Chihuahuan Desert, the cave was discovered by two miners excavating a new tunnel for the Industrias Peñoles company in 2000.
The cave contains some of the largest natural crystals ever found: translucent gypsum beams measuring up to 36 feet (11 meters) long and weighing up to 55 tons." (National Geographic)

"Freeganism is a total boycott of an economic system where the profit motive has eclipsed ethical considerations and where massively complex systems of productions ensure that all the products we buy will have detrimental impacts most of which we may never even consider. Thus, instead of avoiding the purchase of products from one bad company only to support another, we avoid buying anything to the greatest degree we are able"

"Because of our frequent sojourns into the discards our throwaway society, freegans are very aware of and disgusted by the enormous amounts of waste the average US consumer generates and thus choose not to be a part of the problem. So, freegans scrupulously recycle, compost organic matter into topsoil, and repair rather than replace items whenever possible. Anything unusable by us, we redistribute to our friends, at freemarkets, or using internet services like freecycle and craigslist."

Waste Reclamation
Freegan try to avoid being wasteful consumers by refusing to buy food. Instead they practice what is called "urban foraging" more commonly known as dumpster diving. They claim that despite society's stigma's the food recovered is safe and usually in perfect or near-perfect condition"a symptom of a throwaway culture that encourages us to constantly replace our older goods with newer ones, and where retailers plan high-volume product disposal as part of their economic model." In order to make sure that the food is indeed void of bacteria they wash the food in a bleach solution.

Eco-Friendly Transportation
Freegans recognize the negative impact that cars have on the environment. Therefore they choose not to use cars as much as they can. They would rather use trainhopping, hitchhiking, walking, skating, and biking to get around. "Hitchhiking fills up room in a car that would have been unused otherwise and therefore it does not add to the overall consumption of cars and gasoline."
Some freegans are unable to avoid the use of a car completly so they avoid using fossil fuels by converting their engines to use "griesel" or vegetable oil they recover from the used fryer oil from restaurants.

Rent-Free Housing
"Freegans believe that housing is a RIGHT, not a privilege. Just as freegans consider it an atrocity for people to starve while food is thrown away, we are also outraged that people literally freeze to death on the streets while landlords and cities keep buildings boarded up and vacant because they can’t turn a profit on making them available as housing."

Squatters are people who occupy and rehabilitate abandoned, decrepit buildings. Squatters believe that real human needs are more important than abstract notions of private property, and that those who hold deed to buildings but won’t allow people to live in them, even in places where housing is vitally needed, don’t deserve to own those buildings. In addition to living areas, squatters often convert abandoned buildings into community centers with programs including art activities for children, environmental education, meetings of community organizations, and more.

When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower. She said, "Mommy, you are getting fat!" I replied, "Yes, honey, remember Mommy has a baby growing in her tummy." "I know," she replied, but what's growing in your butt?"

A Sunday school teacher asked her little children, as they were on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."

A wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said, Would you like to say the blessing?" "I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied. "Just say what you hear Mommy say," the wife answered. The daughter bowed her head and said,"Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah." The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."

A father was at the beach with his children when his four-year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore, where a seagull lay dead in the sand. "Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked. "He died and went to Heaven," the dad replied. The boy thought a moment and then said, "Did God throw him back down?"

Hopefully you guys can shed some light on exactly why someone would come up with this idea and then actually execute it.


"Self-Sustainable Chair, a dress made out of polyethylene, connected to shoes that pump air into an inflatable bubble attached to its rear part on each step. The dress slowly transforms into a chair with each step and holds the person to sit on it naturally. With his or her body weight the chair is slowly deflated and forms back to the original flat dress. Self-Sustainable chair is a conceptual garment that motivates users to consistently switch between walking and sitting as a loop behavior on the street. The balance between exercise and rest would be maintained by wearing this suit. The purpose of this project is to transform the humdrum experiences produced by routine walking commutes into an amusing interactive performance."

So my friend and I went to buy some fabric to make our white jackets (which we were suppose to have from April gone). Anyhoo so we went to the button counter and I looked down and noticed some tags. On closer inspection this is what I saw big and bold, no qualms bout it....



I was literally on the ground dying with laughter...my friend must have been so embarrassed! Why pay tons of money for name brand clothes when all you have to do is pay JA$200 (US $3) for one bagga Nike tags and you can make all Nike clothes you want! Who really going know the difference??? Lol
Jamaica to di wurl! I love my likkle country!
Needless to say I WILL be sporting a Nike white jacket to the hospital in April!!! Lol

Yea that's right. You're eyes aren't playing tricks on you and she didn't dip it in Koolaide. This scene was 1992 at a L7 concert where the crowd was throwing objects on stage while this female alternative rock band was performing. Well the drummer got pissed and yanked out her tampon and threw it into the crowd. Talk about shocker. If anyone can find the video pass it on, I would love to see if the crowd parted like the red sea...ha ha get it red sea...hahaha...shut up it was funny.
