Is it not odd that this religious massacre ALSO occurred on Sept 11? The movie soon to be out will be a good one I am sure.. and what a story to stir buried and hidden facts.

Case in point-- Mountain Meadows Massacre started with disarming the wagon train then they were all shot or clubbed by the Mormons.. http://1857massacre.com/default01.htm

Not sure you convince anyone who has been close to a drunk driving accident and lost a loved one and where the drunk driver survived.

What is so ugly about a BMW bike?

Jack, shouldn't you add to your list "outlaw walking" - there was approx 5000 people killed while walking.

Do all you want to Milk Chocolate or White chocolate-- but if they start messin with the Dark chocolate -- well that would be like messin with Texas.

I think it is a shame that M Moore got an Oscar. Should be force to give it back. "Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" won the Oscar for best documentary. Unfortunately, it is not a documentary, by the Academy's own definition. The injustice here is not so much to the viewer, as to the independent producers of real documentaries. These struggle in a field which receives but a fraction of the recognition and financing of the "entertainment industry." They are protected by Academy rules limiting the documentary competition to nonfiction. Bowling is fiction. It makes its points by deceiving and by misleading the viewer. Statements are made which are false. Moore leads the reader to draw inferences which he must have known were wrong. Indeed, even speeches shown on screen are heavily edited, so that sentences are assembled in the speaker's voice, but which were not sentences he uttered. Bowling uses deception as its primary tool of persuasion and effect. A film which does this may be a commercial success. It may be entertaining. But it is not a documentary. One need only consult Rule 12 of the rules for the Academy Award: a documentary is a non-fictional movie. http://www.hardylaw.net/Truth_About_Bowling.html

Justin, Sorry about your Grandfather. It reminds me of my father not to long ago who has since passed away at the ripe old age of 92 but anyway my funny story with him getting old was we was not doing too well in his late 80s, paralyzed from the waist down and basically spent most of the day in bed. He went into a coma one day and we made funeral arrangements and planned everything out since the doctor said it would be any day that he would pass on. After the 7 or 8th day of his coma we opened his eyes real wide as my mother walked into check on him @ 8 in the morning. She was startled and said "Well, are you awake?" He replies back "I am hungry!" She asks "What do you want to eat?" He says "A beer" -- - he got a half a beer and lived for 5 or so more years. The docs and nurses were amazed.

Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die. This is so priceless, and so easy to see happening, customer service being what it is today. Anyone who has dealt with an estate will agree with this. A lady died this past January, and Citibank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0.00, now somewhere around $60.00. A family member placed a call to Citibank. Here is the exchange: Family Member: "I am calling to tell you she died in January." Citibank: "The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply." Family Member: "Maybe, you should turn it over to collections." Citibank: "Since it is two months past due, it already has been." Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?" Citibank: "Either report her account to frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!" Family Member: "Do you think God will be mad at her?" (I really liked this part!!!!) Citibank : "Excuse me?" Family Member: "Did you just get what I was telling you - the part about her being dead?" Citibank: "Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor." (Duh!) **Supervisor gets on the phone : Family Member: "I'm calling to tell you, she died in January." Citibank: "The account was never closed and late fees and charges still apply." (This must be a phrase taught by the bank!) Family Member: "You mean you want to collect from her estate?" Citibank: (Stammer) "Are you her lawyer?" Family Member: "No, I'm her great nephew." (Lawyer info given) Citibank: "Could you fax us a certificate of death?" Family Member: "Sure." (Fax number is given) **After they get the fax : Citibank: "Our system just isn't setup for death. I don't know what more I can do to help." Family Member: "Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. I don't think she will care." Citibank : "Well, the late fees and charges do still apply." (What is wrong with these people?!?) Family Member: "Would you like her new billing address?" Citibank: "That might help." Family Member: " Odessa Memorial Cemetery , Highway 129, Plot Number 39." Citibank: "Sir, that's a cemetery!" Family Member: "Yes, we buried her there"

If you can go to the Field Museum. See the Lions of Tsavo -- from the Movie Ghost and the Darkness. Plot summary for The Ghost and the Darkness (1996) advertisement Set in 1898, this movie is based on the true story of two lions in Africa that killed 130 people over a nine month period, while a bridge engineer (Val Kilmer) and an experienced old hunter (Michael Douglas) tried to kill them. Written by Adil Siddiqi {adil@virginia.edu} In 1896 Lt. Col. John Paterson was sent to East Africa to build a railway bridge. He had a deadline to meet but was confident he and his large workforce of Africans and Indians can get the job done in time. John's was a man of his word and got things done - which he demonstrated on his first day by killing a lion that had been pestering the workforce. This earned John respect, but it didn't last very long because a few weeks later 2 new lions began visiting and they're man-eaters. The film is based on a true story and during the construction of the bridge, the lions would enter the workers camp to kill. Believing them not to be real lions, the locals name them 'The Ghost' and 'The Darkness'. After losing dozens of workers to the lions, the railroad company brought in Remington, an American 'great white hunter', to kill them, but even his reputation for being the best could not prevent yet more carnage. It is believed that over 130 people were killed by the two lions in just a few months. Written by Rob Hartill In 1896, a construction engineer from the British Army, J.H. Patterson (Kilmer) is sent to build a railway bridge across Uganda's Tsavo River for the British East African Railway. Soon after he arrives, workmen begin to disappear at night from their tents - never to be seen alive again. The engineer soon discovers that a pair of man-eating lions are stalking around the bridge and campsites, killing the workmen for food. He tries a number of different methods to get rid of them, but the beasts always seem to know what Patterson is doing and avoid being shot. After 30 men have been killed Patterson's boss recruits a hunter, Charles Remington (Douglas) to hunt down and destroy the lions. But the lions continue killing the workmen until they flee the camps, jumping onto the train as it rolls through Tsavo. Now Remington, Patterson & his aide (John Kani) must face these brilliant yet frightening monsters alone. Written by Derek O'Cain

Here is a good picture - specially if you have driven over the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/ABPub/2007/04/19/2003673966.pdf

Idaho has a law on the books that say you can not fish in a stream while on the back of a camel, maybe they should have said a Ford Stationwagon.

Yes it does look phunny but they could on do so much when they did this conversion. They build about 3 a month at $65,000 and up a pop. The aspect ratio of the body length and width is a bit off from the original 1962 ( The real 62 looked great - just drives horrible)

Check ou this link -- this Modern day Corvette is modeled after a 1962 but installed on a 1997 -2004 C5 Corvette Chassis. These are made just south of me in Tacoma Washington. http://www.crcoachworks.com/index.phtml

Too bad the Tucker Automobile died about 1948-- the car had a 589 cu in (9.7 L ) flat six. Given a little engineering, proper breathing it may have been the ultimate muscle motor.

Leave him in the mental hospital where he belongs..obviously the judge has never lost a loved one to a violent mentally disturbed person. Now, discuss all the "ands", "ifs" and "buts" you want, make it political here. My 2 cents http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18140697/

Any of you listen to HD TV broadcasts where the volume of the program is significatly lower than the same broadcast in analog? Also, when listening to an HD News broadcast the actual news is at a lower volume than the commercials .. On my 3 different HD sets the listening volume of commercials is about 2X louder that that of the news program. Anyone have this same issue or am I just hating commercials and frustrated that I do not have a TIVO yet?

Found this in Hemmings Motor. This is the caption below the photo in the magazine. Anyone know french and can tell us what the picture is saying? "Alright, all you people who actually remember their high-school French, we’re looking for an explanation of this little tidbit from the VAQ’s magazine. The principle is simple enough: Sharpened steel blades underfoot; exposed chain drive beneath the groin; whirling circular saw of death thing at a thorax-opening position in front; remote control. But did someone actually build and use one of these things? And if so, can we replace the blades with wheels and the whirling circular saw of death thing with, say, a rubber wheel or a track? If we had to guess, we’d say that “gazoline” suggests IC power, but that sure looks like a battery in the front one; maybe the fairing on the other’s hiding a little two-stroke? "
