In yet another waste of educational dollars, another study tells the obvious: those bigger meals at McDonalds are making you fat.

Ruminations for the Day
More from Ruminate.com:
“Women are hard to figure out. They love lingerie and they love garage sales, but they don’t seem to like getting garage-sale lingerie as a gift.”
“Life is too short not to enjoy the benefits of self-destructive behavior.”
“The former Soviet Union has a state of Georgia like the USA does. I wonder if they also made a movie called “Deliverance,” and if they did, did they have an actor whose line was, “Squeal like a pig, Comrade! Squeal like the Capitalist pig you are!!” I would sure hope so.”
Things are big in Texas
Joke I just got from a buddy of mine:
A Texan buys a round of drinks for all in the bar because, he announces, his wife has just produced a typical Texas baby boy weighing 25 pounds.
Congratulations showered him from all around, and many exclamations of “WOW!” were heard. A woman faints due to sympathy pains.
Two weeks later, he returns to the bar.
The bartender says, “Say, you’re the father of the typical Texas baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth. How much does he weigh now?”
The proud father answers, “Seventeen pounds.”
The bartender is puzzled, and concerned. “What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds at birth.”
The Texas father takes a slow swig from his long-neck Lone Star beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and proudly says, “Had him circumcised!”
WinDriver Updates *might* hellp get rid of BSODs
If you are having Blue-Screens-of-Death in Windows 2000 that you think might be driver related, you might want to check out this page. WinDriver is used as the basis for quite a few hardware drivers, and the newest version of Windows 2000 (Service Pack 3) doesn’t always play nice with it.
If you ever need to duplicate Windows 2000 on a pile of machines…
…then this is the tutorial you need. I’m actually going to have to persue this fairly soon, as we’re thinking about upgrading all these machines here at the office to Win 2K (they’re Win NT 4.0 right now) and it would save me a TON of trouble to mass-produce this.
Rumination for the Day
From Ruminate.com:
My new book, “How to Remove Virtually Anything From Your Butt,” hasn’t made any best-seller lists. However, my publisher informs me I’ve landed on a couple of lists run by the government, so that’s gotta count for something.
Sprite is Good Food
Oh man this is a funny parody commercial.
New York Public Library new digital image database
Titled Image Gate, I can see this site becoming insanely useful as a research tool. From their site:
Image Gate is The New York Public Library’s first full-size working version of its new digital image database. Image Gate provides free and open online access to thousands of digital images from the collections of NYPL’s four research libraries: the Humanities and Social Sciences Library, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and the Science, Industry and Business Library.
Girls team wins all-boys hockey tourney
They didn’t just win the tournament, they killed everybody. They won games with the scores of 12-2, 5-0, 5-1, 5-1, and then 4-2 in the championship. I think one of team members said it best: “It was fun kicking their butt.” Full Story.
