Oddity: My son was born on 9-8-98 and weighed 9lbs and 8ozs. Another funny thing is that my wife is 5' 1" and weighs about 100 lbs and I am 5'5" and weigh 150... that's a big kid for us! LOL

I?ve always wondered why a man's bike has a straight cross bar while a woman?s bike has a slanted crossbar. Many men have slammed their family jewels on this crossbar. I?ve always thought they screwed up the design between the sexes. Men should have the design of a woman's bike and women should have the design of a man's bike since women do not have dingle balls.
But here is why. In the late 1800's and early 1900's a majority of women wore dresses. The slanted cross bar was used to allow women to swing their legs through in order to mount a bike. If they had continued to use a straight crossbar on all bikes women would have to swing there leg over the crossbar, revealing themselves in the process.

<< From what I know, cop is a acronym for "Constable On Patrol". >>

>>that's not true, some monkeys also do the deed because it feels good.
During the heat of the space race in the 1960's, NASA decided it needed a ball point pen to write in the zero gravity confines of its space capsules.
After considerable research and development, the Astronaut Pen was developed at a cost of $1 million. The pen worked and also enjoyed some modest success as a novelty item back here on earth.
The Soviet Union, faced with the same problem, used a pencil

Sela Ward is from Meridian, MS; which is less than an hr from where I grew up. I think her current tv show is once and again although I've never watched it.

when the typewriter was first invented, it had a real problem. people were typing to fast on it and the mechanism wasn't able to keep up, hence the qwerty keyboard was designed. it was designed to intentionally slow people down. and i'm too damned lazy to learn the dvorak keyboard, even tho i could probably learn it in a week and i would probably see a 15 to 20 percent increase in my typing speed.
the better to nef with my darling.
