Mean Mom Sells Kid's Car
J over at Blah, Blah, Blog has pointed me toward an article about a mother who sold her teenage son’s car because she found alcohol inside.
The ad reads: “OLDS 1999 Intrigue. Totally uncool parents who obviously don’t love teenage son, selling his car. Only driven for three weeks before snoopy mom who needs to get a life found booze under front seat. $3,700/offer. Call meanest mom on the planet.”
As an up-front threat, this one has merit. “Son, if you break any of these rules, we’ll sell your car. No excuses. No parole.”

UFO In Texas
I haven’t been
trollinglurking my usual stream of blogs this week because of general busy-ness, therefore this AP news item, concerning a UFO sighting reported by dozens has taken my by surprise.The normal comments are made:
While federal officials insist there’s a logical explanation, locals swear that it was larger, quieter, faster and lower to the ground than an airplane. They also said the object’s lights changed configuration, unlike those of a plane. People in several towns who reported seeing it over several weeks have offered similar descriptions of the object.
Because no plane has ever turned lights on or off, nor have they turned to occlude certain lights from view. I also wonder, given that these sightings are mostly at night, how people know how big or fast it was?
What more do you want, when one of the contenders for the Leader of the Free World says that he saw a UFO.

Jim Cronen, of Jamescronen.com, twittered about this youtube video. It’s wicked. Make sure you go to his site if you have comments.
Edit: 2204. Right after I posted this, my little quote engine in the sidebar came up with
Charlie was a Chemist
But Charlie is no more
What Charlie thought was H20

Random Fact of the Day
“Research has shown that women who have complete transection of the spinal cord can experience orgasms through the vagus nerve, which can go from the uterus, cervix and probably the vagina to the brain.”
So, if you’re a woman who experiences a severing of her spinal cord, you’re not necessarily done with orgasms.

If you could go without sleep, would you? And if you did, what would you do with the time?
SciGuy asks that question, with science to back it up. Comment over there.
