Hahahaha! I LOOOOVE Cookie Monster! And I LOOOOVE NPR! Put them together and what do you get? Just one of the best shows ever. :)

C is for Cookie and it's good enough for me!

Not to veer this conversation over a cliff but I've always been interested in working for Amazon.

Now back to the article! I wish I had a bajillion dollars or so that I can console myself. ;)

I don't think anyone could really consider this a viable method of exercise. If at all. I think someones dignity would immediately disappear the moment this started.

I also believe from my Bio-Anthro class that Orangutans also mate face to face. *70's pr0n music* ;)

I don't know what's creepier. The thought that UFOs are zipping around over our heads or that the UFOs are actually balls of fire! Maybe both!? :o

I have to throw in my voice as well concerning the gorgeous deck and backyard! Must be awesome to have a BBQ out there during Spring and Summer. And hot cocoa during winter. :)

Oh dear. Engrish strikes again!

@ VonSkippy

I have to agree that people nowadays are a lot more fearful in doing the right thing than in the past. I remember when I used to live in London, England I found a wallet on a double decker bus under the seat ahead of me when I accidentally kicked it. I delivered it to the police station and afterwards I got called back saying that I was a suspect! The owner said I stole all the cash but thankfully due to the high usage of security cameras in England (well known to be the city with the most CCTVs per person) it was proven all I did was pick it up and drop it off at the police booth. They then cited the guy who falsely accused me with a $300 (don't remember how much that is in British Pounds) fine for false accusation and misuse of police time.

As the old adage goes,"No good deed goes unpunished."

Regarding the article:

However, in the case of Kitty Genovese that is just horrendous. If someone were attacked I'd surely help in whatever capacity I could. Would I put myself in harms way? Maybe if I knew I could take down the attacker but if not I'd also be a bit hesitant. When the attacker had left someone should have had the balls to go out and grab that poor woman and brought her inside and wait for the police to arrive.

Nothing like being known nation wide as a creepy stalker.

And here I was thinking the World will end in a blaze of glory but instead we may die because a couple of scientists create a black hole!

The cake is a lie! It's not beer flavoured! ;)

Ah Garry you steal my heart. :)

Even though I'm 23 I still watch Sponge Bob Square Pants when I just a good nonsense cartoon on the Weekend or after work. Or when I miss watching Futurama. ;)

Watch out Digg influx! ;)

@ Alex

I stand corrected!

Oh, I remember having this in my gigantic 800 or so wallpaper collections. :)
