Thursday, April 3, 2003Well, gooooleee, to quote Gomer PyleThis is another one of those people about whose writings I can offer an opinion without necessarily reviewing anything currently available. David Icke produces writings that I would call "a hoot and a half," if the material published on his website is any indication. Certain portions of the...

It might save a life. I have previously written an editorial advising adults to get immunized against certain diseases - especially tetanus and the flu, but others as well. Having given that advice, I wanted to make... Sign in to see full entry.posted by kidnykid at 7:06 PM Comments (0) (link) One ambidexterous mouse, pleaseWe need more left-handed mice! As a devout southpaw, with no desire to change at my age, I find it hard to use a lot of computer equipment because it's oriented toward righties. (For those of you who come from Europe or other parts of the world, a "southpaw" is a lefthanded person; the term comes...

Offer them condolences and sympathy. I think that this is the most important thing to remember for loved ones of those who have had a miscarriage. Those who have had miscarriages generally know they have had a...

There is no such thing as the right to cry "fire" in a crowded theater if you know there is none. Similarly, there is no such thing as an artist who is entirely free from...

The secular version is "Be careful what you wish for - you may just get it." In other words, people often get what is not in their best interests, and they realize it only when they get it. Just something to think about.

Many of you might be familiar with Price's historical fiction. This was actually the result of a fortuitous career move on her...

One of the worst things you can do is to choose a college or university based on the "babe magnet" factor - meaning that one shouldn't be choosing on the basis of the number of good-looking members of one's gender of...

I agree with someone else on another website that the film WIZARDS, an art film animated by Ralph Bakshi, is indeed an anti-war film. The film is...

Yes, community colleges offer degrees called associate degrees, but that's not all. If you happen to have one handy, explore some of their career-certification options;...
