You mean with people in it? How horrible!

"In their book and PBS television series The Ring of Truth, Philip and Phylis Morrison asked, "How close to atomic size can we perceive with our unaided senses?" Their imaginative response was to place a quarter teaspoon of olive oil on the surface of a pond. As it spread, the film of oil could easily be seen on the otherwise rippled water. At its limit, it covered an appreciable area, some 2,000 square feet. A simple calculation shows that its thickness -- rather, thinness -- is a mere five-millionth (0.0000002) of an inch. That is, the diameter of a single molecule of oil."

But that was a liquid, so maybe they were cheating.

Sounds to me like Mr. Hosono wasn't in any big hurry to get home.

"United States of America v. $124,700 in U.S. Currency, 05-3295 (8th Cir. 2006), was a decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit that was handed down on August 18, 2006. Although it is usual for persons, rather than property, to be sued in court, the controversial doctrine of asset forfeiture does allow a piece of property (in this case, $124,700 in cash) to be directly sued by and forfeited to the government, without either just compensation or the owner being convicted of a crime..."

I thought that told you if you were gay?

Maybe this is somehow healthier than keeping your stillborn baby in the freezer...

For example, here's some "expert" advice from 2007:

''' While fighting obesity is complicated, Ludwig said, the first step is clear. "Giving up sugary soda for diet drinks, or water, will cause you to lose weight." '''
