The G-Spot: A Gynecological UFO?

Can someone explain to me why this story merits being put on the Reuters news wire? Just seems lame to me. it says nothing. Must be a REALLY slow news day.

First day back at work after AnimeIowa...good thing it has been slow.. I don't know that I would be up to serious hard work today. 5 days..worked better than 17hrs a day for at least 3 of them. I am sleepy. Con went well better than 950 registrations. I had some great help in security. Thanks to all you guys who helped out.

Is this working? I wrote a nice little tidbit about MSN and their bad reporting, and how finding sensational articles on their site was as easy as finding examples of bad uses of statistics in USA Today. Not even a sport, it's too easy.

This article may have a point..but it is way over blown I think. While I have seen the raises for those who just added another mouth to feed, as though they should have added a mouth if they couldn't afford it... and such. And actually here they do give the brunt of the work at crunch time to the unmaried folks because they have "fewer outside commitments" which is total horse pucky, it just means whatever commitments they have probably aren't watching junior play soccer, or driving little darling to karate class.

The thing that bothered me most though was that the guy in the article who had the bad interview didn't just walk out...since the interviewer was asking questions that employers shouldn't ask until people get hired.

AMEN! Go Japan.. nice contrast to the last thing I wrote...

Oh look another way to invade the privacy of everyone in an attempt to find a few....UGH. This guy says it all pretty much.

Didn't know about this beware.. you are being watched.. why don't they just implant us all with microchips at birth and track us through every major doorway on the planet.. heck they already have the microchips.. we use them in dogs and cats...so why not just track our every move from birth on... no ditching school... if you don't pass the school reader you are immedately flagged as absent, then they can watch the malls and everywhere else to see where you are when you aren't where you are supposed to be.

Sure we would only use this new microchip power to track crimials.. .right?!?! then to track potential criminals....then employers would start using it as a time clock and it is only a short leap to checking on the location of employees who call in sick. But it would all be for our safety, and the saftey of children.

Sonnet to a Clam
Dum tacent claimant

INGLORIOUS friend! most confident I am
Thy life is one of very little ease;
Albeit men mock thee with their similes
And prate of being "happy as a clam!"
What though thy shell protects thy fragile head
From the sharp bailiffs of the briny sea?
Thy valves are, sure, no safety-valves to thee,
While rakes are free to desecrate thy bed,
And bear thee off--as foemen take their spoil--
Far from thy friends and family to roam;
Forced, like a Hessian, from thy native home,
To meet destruction in a foreign broil!
Though thou art tender yet thy humble bard
Declares, O clam! thy case is shocking hard!

Dress codes... can somebody explain office dress codes for people with no customer contact? I understand making a good impression on the folks paying the bills and all.. but really.. even when customers come through it isn't like those of us in the trenches (or closets as the case may be) are actually introduced. The last three tours past my closet have included the phrase "This is the network room. And over here in this cubicle is Dana." Dana is an artist who sits across the way from me. So if I am not important enough to get my name mentioned.. why the heck does it matter what I look like? If you understand this.. hit the links and send me an IM.
