tastes like cod.

"I wonder where the fish has gone?

You did love it so. You looked after it like a son.

And it went wherever i did go

Is it in the cupboard?

Yes! Yes! No!...

Wouldn't you like to know? It was a lovely little fish.

And it went wherever I did go.

It's behind the sofa!

Where can that fish be?

Have you thought of the drawers in the bureau?!

Shh!

It is a most elusive fish!

And it went wherever I did go.

Ooooh, fishy, fishy, fishy fish!

A-fish, a-fish, a-fish, a-fishy, ooooh.

Ooooh, fishy, fishy, fishy fish!

That went wherever I did go.

Look up his trunk!

Yeah, it's hidden in his trousers!" - monty python

New Orleans Murder Rate Not In Sync With Rest Of Nation

POSTED: 1:56 pm CDT August 18, 2005
They point to an experiment last year by university researchers in which police fired 700 blank rounds in a New Orleans neighborhood in a single afternoon.Murder rates have fallen dramatically in many major U.S. cities -- but that's not happening in the Big Easy. Although the murder rate in New Orleans is lower than it was a decade ago, it's rising and is nearly 10 times the national average. A criminologist said the city's trend is the reverse of 46 of the top 50 cities in the United States. Experts said the trend in the city that's home to the popular French Quarter exists for several reasons -- drugs, too few police, inexperienced prosecutors, and residents staying quiet because they fear retaliation. No one called police to report the gunfire"

to be or not to be?



"The majority of people will say that the faces depicted on these photographs are immaculately beautiful. The portraits were made with the help of a special computer program by German psychologists Martin Gruendl, Claus Marberger, Christoph Scherber and Christoph Braun. The researchers designed the images on the base of ideal proportions and features of human face.

Modern people with their standards of beauty run risks of losing the battle with perfect computer images and fall a victim to non-existent perfection. In addition, German scientists concluded that there was a certain stereotype in perceiving a beautiful person. People think that beautiful individuals are talented, creative and sensitive; that they have an ability to exert a positive influence on others. Those, who have not so pretty, or absolutely unpretty faces, are usually perceived as people who cannot boast of such qualities and traits - just an instant visual contact is enough to conclude so. Unattractive people are usually perceived as someone unhappy, malcontent, presumptuous, stupid and exhausted with their own lives.

Social consequences of human appearances are enormous. It is easier for beautiful people to live on this planet. They are usually more successful in their private and professional lives, although it may seem to be absolutely unfair to others"

anybody like onions

If we don't end our dependence on oil by 4920, when will we end it? 5580? By then, it may be too late," Bush said.

Responding to reporters' questions, Bush admitted that our progeny could face challenges in pursuit of the goal, such as the earth's degrading orbit and eventual destruction of the moon by tidal force, or the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

The proclamation comes on the heels of Bush's plans to pay off the national debt by the early 6300s, and win the war on terror by 7450.


-tastes like onions

in retrospect.

wouldnt it be damn cool if words like "retrospect" just meant u looked like the past, instead of looking at it.

u could say look at that man over there, i like his retrospect style. but it would be more than that, like when u wore 80's clothes u would get like that low fi 80's tv camera look to u.......the same with like the 20's u'd go all black and white and have a very low framerate.

man.
retrospect.
that makes me want to be, much more retroactive.

NO ONE EVER EXPECT THE SPANISH INQUISITION!

these lyrics are incredibly suprising.....i randomly came across them today, and they are a bit more morbid and serious, not bad for three sexually ambiguous teens.

"You have so many relationships in this life,
But only one or two will last.
You go through all the pain and strife,
Then you turn your back and they’re gone so fast.

Oh yeah. they’re gone so fast.

Oh, so hold on to the ones who really care,
In the end they’ll be the only ones there.
When you get old and start losing your hair,
Can you tell me who will still care?
Can you tell me who will still care? oh care.

Chorus:

Mmmbop, ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do. oh yeah,
Mmmbop ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do

Oh yeah, in an mmmbop they’re gone. yeah.

Plant a seed, plant a flower,
Plant a rose, you can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows.
It’s a secret no one knows.
It’s a secret no one knows.
Oh, no one knows.

(repeat chorus twice....)"
