OMG Steve... the AP manager just came in and asked.. "Ooo.. where'd ya get those..?" And I told her the CEO's name. She stopped dead in her tracks and walked out. 5 second later I see her whispering at the copy machine. By noon things should be pretty interesting around here..

Kenny does not like Frank. Kenny does not want Frank here. Kenny would trade Frank for a bag of peanuts. He already tried. It has NOTHING to do with Kenny's IQ. It's penis envy.

That's where the fear for me is. Yes.. we have a HUGE void in the loss of inning eater Colon, but we couldn't hit our way out of a wet paper bag for most of the year last year. If our offense is not on.. grab the ankles boys.

Aboz.. I forgot to thank you for giving me this last night. I read it this morning and I think you are right in regards to our IM conversation about the rotation comparison. We'll be fine.

Actually.. I believe Kenny WOULD trade Frank for a bag of peanuts.. thankfully, Jerry wont let him.

Don't worry 13...

When I see this crap the Peanuts teacher's voice comes into my head.. "Wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa..... "

I got me some roses today.. The only drawback is all the chicks comming in my office to touch and smell them. And they do it while I'm on the phone... "Oooo.. who gave you those..?, What are they for?" Duh stupids..

Who Is Killing the Animals at Sao Paulo Zoo? Wed Feb 11,10:00 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo! By Paula Lace SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) - The zoo in the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo is facing a murder mystery worthy of an Agatha Christie novel. Since late January, the zoo, one of the most modern in Latin America, has lost 10 animals, including an elephant -- fatally poisoned by what police are calling a "serial animal killer." So far, laboratory tests have shown the animals were killed with sodium fluoroacetate, a banned rat poison. According to the Sao Paulo State University, where autopsies were performed, the poison caused the animals to stop breathing and led to cardiac arrest. What troubles investigators is that tests on the animals' food and water could find no trace of the poison. The first animal to die was Tony, a chimpanzee. Since then, two other monkeys, an elephant, three dromedaries and three tapirs, including a newborn, have joined the casualty list. "We are deeply saddened by these events. Many of the workers have been with the zoo for several years and spend more time with the animals than with their own families," said Fatima Valente Roberti, a biologist at the zoo. "We cannot fathom what could possibly lead a person to commit such aggression." Fluoroacetate is colorless, odorless and extremely potent. One gram is enough to kill an elephant. It can be easily produced but is commercially available only in the United States and Australia. Police have been closely watching zoo workers and visitors but all they can tell is that the killer was someone who had a good knowledge of chemistry and biology and who also knew well the zoo's daily routine. Police have not ruled out any possibility, including visitors who come to the park at unusual hours. The Sao Paulo zoo has recently opened at night for the public to observe the animals' nocturnal habits. Management has increased security measures, including hourly visits to each of the zoo's 3,200 animals. The zoo's executive director, Paulo Magalhaes Bresan, said this was the first time in its 46-year history that animals had been killed by poisoning. "We were not prepared for this kind of action. Our security personnel was very well trained to deal with visitors, or even possible animal escapes, but we never expected this to happen."

Finn Fined Nearly $217,000 for Speeding Wed Feb 11,10:22 AM ET Add Strange News - AP to My Yahoo! HELSINKI, Finland - Police gave a record $216,900 speeding ticket to a millionaire under a system in which traffic fines are linked to an offender's income. The Iltalehti tabloid reported that millionaire Jussi Salonoja zoomed through the city center last weekend in a 25 mph zone and police handed him a ticket of $216,900. It didn't say what his speed was. The fine was based on information they got directly for the inland revenue office, the Tuesday report said. Salonoja, 27, could not be reached for comment, and police declined to discuss the alleged speeding incident until it reaches the Helsinki Regional Court at a later date. Although it's the costliest ticket to date, it's not the first with a big price tag. Two years ago, Anssi Vanjoki, then executive vice president of Nokia (news - web sites)'s mobile phones division, landed a $148,000 ticket after being caught doing 46 mph in a 31 mph zone on a motorcycle. It was later lowered to about $7,500 after he showed a court that his income had dropped, but not before Finns flew into a rage over the high fine. But, after weeks of Parliament debates, discussions on TV shows and expressions of disgust in the media, Finns did nothing and the system remained. Other hefty speeding tickets have included a $71,000 one for a professional hockey player and one for $190,000 given to one of Finland's wealthiest people.

Wyo. May Make Littering Via Urine Illegal Wed Feb 11, 6:55 PM ET Add Strange News - AP to My Yahoo! CHEYENNE, Wyo. - Urinating in a bottle and tossing it alongside the road would be made illegal under a bill introduced Wednesday in the Senate. The practice, lawmakers say, has become problematic in some areas. A measure that passed introduction would classify it as littering, a misdemeanor punishable by up to nine months in prison and a $1,000 fine. "For those of us who look at the beautiful scenery of Wyoming, we should now start looking at the shoulders of our roads," said a tongue-in-cheek Sen. Bill Vasey, D-Rawlins, the bill's sponsor. Admitting it would be hard to enforce, Vasey said the measure is still needed to address an increasingly pungent problem, especially among highway cleanup crews. "I think it's beyond their scope to pick up someone's bottle of urine, to be honest with you," he said. The Senate Judiciary Committee (news - web sites) will now consider the measure.

Mob Charged with Making Mint on Phone Sex Bills Thu Feb 12, 8:41 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo! NEW YORK (Reuters) - Mobsters ripped off users of telephone sex lines and dating services to the tune of $200 million in what U.S. officials said was a new method by organized crime families to make money illegally. Indictments announced by the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn on Tuesday said Gambino crime family members advertised "free" samples of phone sex, horoscope or dating services but once customers made the call, a $40 monthly fee would be automatically added to their telephone bills. The enterprise stretching from New York to Kansas -- a departure from traditional Mafia schemes such as loan-sharking and betting -- made between $50,000 and $600,000 every day from 1997 to 2001, according to the indictment. Ten mobsters and their associates were charged with the billing fraud known as "telephone cramming," including reputed Gambino member Richard Martino, 44, and his brother Daniel, 53, an assistant professor of chemistry at a suburban New York college. The fees were often disguised as a charge for "voice mail." But when one company, Southwestern Bell, would no longer process the charges, Richard Martino and an advertising executive Norman Chanes, 57, set up their own billing company, the indictment said. The defendants were charged with racketeering, racketeering conspiracy, money laundering and other charges, U.S. prosecutors and the FBI (news - web sites) said. Several of the same men were charged last year with running an Internet pornography scheme. Tuesday's indictment added to those charge and seeks the forfeiture of $430 million -- $200 million from the phone billing scheme and $230 million from the Internet case.

CIA Web Site Notice Seeks Iraq WMD Information Thu Feb 12, 8:38 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo! WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The CIA (news - web sites), under fire over its intelligence about Iraq (news - web sites)'s arms programs, has posted a notice on its Web site offering rewards for information on the elusive weapons. The "Iraqi Rewards Program" notice dated Tuesday seeks "specific and verifiable information" on the location of stocks of "recently made" chemical or biological weapons, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles or their components. U.S. intelligence agencies have been criticized for prewar estimates that said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction but none have been found since the U.S.-led invasion last year. David Kay, who led the U.S. hunt for banned weapons in Iraq until stepping down last month, has said he did not believe that large stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons existed when the United States invaded. The unspecified rewards were also offered for locating chemical or biological laboratories and factories, development, production and test sites and places where such materials were "secretly disposed." The notice on www.cia.gov says: "The presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq puts at risk the health and safety of all Iraqis. The U.S. Government offers rewards to Iraqis who give specific and verifiable information that helps Iraqis rid their country of these dangerous materials and devices." People can respond on electronic forms in English or Arabic. The CIA said they were secure and would protect the information and identity of the sender. A CIA spokesman said the notice was just one more avenue to get information out about existing U.S. government rewards for information dealing with Iraq. "Our Web site gets an enormous amount of hits from all over the world," the spokesman said. "It's just trying to get the word as broadly publicized as possible." Rewards were also offered for former leaders of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s Baathist regime, including $10 million for information leading to the capture of Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, Saddam's former lieutenant who is the highest-ranking official on the Pentagon (news - web sites)'s top 55 most-wanted list still not found. The CIA asked for information about imminent attacks by "insurgents or terrorists" and about individuals or groups obtaining explosives and other weapons to use against coalition and Iraqi security forces, schools, businesses and civilians. Information was also sought about any travel agencies, nongovernmental organizations and front companies involved in providing documents and helping "terrorists" travel to Iraq.

:headshake Good grief...

A couple hundred..? I wish. But after seeing what was in the water, there was no way we weren't going to get it. And FSJ.. there IS arsenic in the water. It's used to kill the micro-organisms that live in the pipes from Lake Michigan. All 4 companies that we had come out found it.. ironically, Public Works showed the highest level. :headshake One other thing.. there is MORE chlorine in unfiltered drinking water than I use in my pool! Then they OD on the flouride to kill the smell.

Excellent point. Which is why we spent the $$ and got a home system. All the water I drink comes out of my tap which is filtered.

Pearl Harbor, which costs $135 million to make, made Box Office Total: $197,761,540 VHS Rentals Total: $31,920,000 And that doesn't include DVD and VHS sales. Sounds like it did OK to me..

Ugh you mo-fo... I was just about to post this. I find it very interesting that Disney is so far in debt... with all the success in the movie business alone the past 5 years. Makes no sense..
