A Higgs Boson walks into a church, and the priest says, "We don't allow Higgs-Bosons in here."

So the Higgs Boson says, "But without me how can you have mass?"

i added a movie to my netflix queue, and the usual window popped up to suggest other movies that i might like based on that selection.

( which one of these movies seems out of place? (cut for width)... )

hey,

do any of y'all use gmail regularly, and, if so, have you been having horrible performance issues over the past couple weeks? (i mean the performance of gmail, not any other sort of performance you might be doing...)

i have a horrible time getting the page to load in full view, or plain HTML; as often as not i get "information is temporarily unavailable" when i try to load a page; and sent messages don't show up in the sent box or incorporated into the existing thread for 10 or 15 minutes after sending.

i've tried different computers (all macs, though), and different browsers, and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

right now, for example, (even after rebooting our dsl modem & router), i can't get to my mail. it's like it's being held hostage

:-(

Everyone who has even thought about exercising has heard the warnings about lactic acid. It builds up in your muscles. It is what makes your muscles burn. Its buildup is what makes your muscles tire and give out.

But that, it turns out, is all wrong. Lactic acid is actually a fuel, not a caustic waste product. Muscles make it deliberately, producing it from glucose, and they burn it to obtain energy.

i'd always heard the same negative things about lactic acid & muscles... interesting to read they're not true!

some of sarah palin's facebook friends reacting to ted kennedy's death:

"thank you for maintaining my belief in you as a real american, however this country is now much better off, one less socialist, anti freedom senator."

"Now if we could just talk God into taking Arlin Spector, Harry Reid,and Nancy Pelosi America would be Eutopia!"

"good riddens"

"If he makes it into Heaven (& I doubt he will with his stance on abortion) I hope that God makes him babysit all the aborted children for eternity. God have mercy on his soul."

"Ted Kennedy dying has made my day...."

"He cannot fillibuster God. Good ridencance to a sorry person."

"It's about time, we can only hope Pelosi and Ried will be joining him very soon. All 3 of them should be buried in Moscow for whom they work so tirelessly."
