Russians aim for world’s biggest salad
When the salad is all done, it’s expected to weigh in at 2600 kilograms. That’s 5,732 pounds for us non-metric Americans.

Want a huge pile of DSL Modems?
I was just checking on eBay to see what the going rate was for my favorite modem, and come across this auction: 10,000 Actiontec External DSL ADSL USB Modems. And it says he has three lots of these — for a total of 30,000 modems.
The opening bid for a lot is $21,500 — about $2.15 per modem.
I can’t help but wonder where the hell he got all these things.

Subject line: Dimensional warp Generator Needed
I’m a time traveler stuck here in 2003. Since nobody here seems to be able to get me what I need (safely here to me), I will have to build a simple time travel circut to get where I need myself. I am going to need an easy to follow picture diagram for a simple time travel circut, which can be built out of (readily available) parts here in 2003. Please email me any schematics you have. I will pay good money for anything you send me I can use Or if you have the rechargeable AMD dimensional warp generator wrist watch unit available, and are 100% certain you have a (secure) means of delivering it to me please also reply. Send a separate email to me at: [email protected].
Let’s see, now where did I put those time travel schematics… .
