  If I am, I had best dig out a cheap suit and hit the streets; there are magazines that need placing. The time is short!

  here is some news that any doomsayer worth his or her salt can turn around into being a sign of imminent financial collapse;.

  new york (ap) - techology shares led the stock market higher for a second straight day wednesday, helping to propel the dow jones industrials up by triple digits and into the 10,000 level and enabling the nasdaq composite to pierce 2,000. .

  investors bet that the battered sector would trigger the start of a new bull market.

  Biggest Can-O-Worms in a LONG Time

  so what does everyone think about this whole human cloning thing our intreped scientists recently accomplished?

  i haven't read up enough and discussed enough to formulate a rock solid opinion on all the ins and outs of the whole issue, and i like to have rock solid opinions on just about everything (but i don't push my views on anyone or consider opposing views "wrong," that's something else i have a strong opinion about).

  i have been away for a few days so if this has been covered, please accept my appologies for the repetition and direct me to the appropriate subject heading.

  Randy Americans and abstemious Japanese

  all i can say is that for the american sample, they obviously asked a disproportionate amount of women.. sex comes twice a week for brits.

  london (reuters) - britons have sex an average of twice a week, have slept with more than eight people and are attracted by a good sense of humour, a global survey says.. .

  the survey of sexual habits by condom maker durex has found that britons have sex an average of 107 times a year, less than many other europeans.. .

  I must admit that I have been pulling the stats for the US down a bit lately, but the time has come for me to turn that around and do my patriotic duty and keep America number one in this important area.

  I thought long and hard as to what to use for a username and finally decided to name myself after the rap musician Chuck D. The funny thing is, my real name is Chuck and my last name (Doherty) begins with a "D", so the username just happened to be quite similar to my real one. What a coincidence!

  I have never used any other persona here on on any other board inhabated by ex-dubs, although I did go under another name on witness.net, where I adopted the name Randall P. McMurphy. You probably know that was the name of the main character in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", but no one there picked up on that.

  let me tell you a story.

  i have a wonderful 18 year old son who is almost as smart as he thinks he is.

  he is currently a freshman at northeastern university in boston, in their engineering program.

  He always had a strong natural talent for math, and was interested in it from an early age. He also was drawn toward geometric patterns, and as a kid he enjoyed playing with a Spirograph (remember those?) making complex patterns of one type or another. That remains one of the greatest toys for kids, along with an etch-a-sketch which has the unfortunate drawback of making illustrations of breasts look square.

  When he was young, I taught him how to program a bit on my old Apple II computer, and he was a natural at it. From there, he took off. Now, he writes far better code than I do, and when when he is not at school he works as one of the technical leads at www.vineyard.net.

  The impending end of the universe was a concern for me when it came to a choice of schools, but he opted for the five-year rather than the optional 3-billion year engineering program, so I hope that he will see some return on his time invested before it all goes dark.

  Let me tell you a story. I have a wonderful 18 year old son who is almost as smart as he thinks he is. He is currently a freshman at Northeastern University in Boston, in their engineering program. Because of his great math performance in high school, he was awarded a $1,000 math scholarship and started in calculus IV rather than calculus I as is the custom.

  A few weeks ago, I was on the phone with him, and asked him what his schedule for the next day was. He said he had a math class, but was not going. Not going? At $34K a year you sure as Hell better be going was my thought, but my response was a measured; “Oh? Why is that?”

  He told me that this class was only to plan a makeup test for the most recent test, in which most students did poorly. He also said that the instructor told him not to bother coming since he was the only one to get 100 on the test in question, and therefore didn’t need the makeup test, AND that he was the only freshman the the class. I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of my son, and how thankful I am that he is not looking forward to a wasted life of cleaning windows and knocking on doors.

  I am with Nathan on this as well. It is interesting to note that those of us who don't believe in demons are never troubled by them. Sure, there are things that one cannot see but still exist. A virus or bacterial infection will still affect and sicken those who perhaps don't believe in viruses. Such is not the case with demons.

  Now if I could only get those damn Leprechauns out of my garden.
