RANDOM THOUGHTS
AND
OBSERVATIONS
XXX

Congratulations to US scientists
Andrew Fire and Craig Mello
who received the
Nobel Prize for Medicine, today.

During the past ten years, 8 out of those 10 Medicine Prize recipients, were Americans.

WOW! I am so flocking proud of our amazing scientists!

If you were watching the hearings on C-Span, this past weekend, you may have noticed that the guy who directs the UN's World Food Program (for starving people) could barely walk, because he weighs about 500 pounds!

Please tell me what's totally flocking weird about that?

Never mind.....I know :-)

Do you think relationships should have an expiration date?

What if people became lovers and promised to set each other free at an agreed-on date in the future? What if people became friends, and said, "We're only going to do this until February 15, 3 years from today" ???

What if you gave someone a job and told them they could only have it for one decade, and then they'd have to leave?

What if we assisted a foreign nation, but instead of continueing to pay billions forever, there'd be a pre-determined expiration-date for such financial generosity?

How can we stop our supermarkets from selling apples that have a thick coat of acrylic on them? It prevents air from getting inside those fruits, which means that when you get the shiny baubles home and cut them open, you'll most likely find that they're brown and rotted, on the inside. Plus, some of the most valuable nutrients in apples are in their skins, and you can't eat these plasticized coverings, now!

Don't you agree that we accept too much?

We need to stand up for our rights!

REALLY.

I found this observation on a military message board:

"In order for our troops to distinguish their allies from their enemies, their allies agreed to wear red-and-white-striped bandanas on their heads..........which is clearly distinct from their enemies, who wear white-and-red-striped bandanas on their heads!"
