POPSThe school lunch scam Reform in food industry is no less important than reform in healthcare. That's where most diseases grow. Culture of sickness, craziness, violence and apathy has to be replaced by culture of good taste, healthy and delicious natural food.

POPSSome dogs look like their owners : The Facts were asked to match pictures of 41 dog owners to one of several breeds. They were able to match successfully more than half the time, far better than chance. Similar to the San Diego study, the subjects later said they matched mostly by looking for personality traits that they believed the dogs and their owners shared. Scientists suspect that some people look for certain traits or predispositions when choosing a dog that reflect their own personalities. THE BOTTOM LINE Some studies argue that dogs can resemble their owners, but the research is debatable.

POPSWoman teaches dog to read more: Willow was also the second witness at the couple's wedding at New York City Hall in March - signing the marriage certificate with an inky paw print. Ms Rosenberg even takes the 10lb English terrier mix on business trips because Willow is more than happy to share her carrying case with other animals. "I once had to fly from California back to New York with a rabbit and two guinea pigs. Going through airport security was hilarious because first I pulled out the rabbit from the bag, followed by the guinea pigs and then the dog."

POPSWhat is a Man? A man has had liquor enough in his life that he can order a drink without sounding breathless, clueless, or obtuse. When he doesn't want to think, he orders bourbon or something on tap. A man welcomes the coming of age. It frees him. It allows him to assume the upper hand and teaches him when to step aside. He does not rely on rationalizations or explanations. A man gets the door. Without thinking. He stops traffic when he must. A man knows how to lose an afternoon. Drinking, playing Grand Theft Auto, driving aimlessly, shooting pool. He knows how to lose a month, also. He understands the basic mechanics of the planet. Or he can close one eye, look up at the sun, and tell you what time of day it is. Or where north is. He can tell you where you might find something to eat or where the fish run. He understands electricity or the internal-combustion engine, the mechanics of flight. A man is comfortable being alone. Loves being alone, actually. He sleeps.

I love stuff like this. .:p From a Danish source , this can be added: Before the event, glowing balls were seen in the sky around 1:15 AM and animals had acted strangely.

Helicopters were filming and combing the area. A few days prior, eight crop circles had appeared near the Dinskij district. An area near the the town of Armanvir was reportedly "glowing". Crop circles have also appeared recently in, among other places, USA, Canada, Spain, Germany and Denmark and reseachers say, they are all connected to each other via parallel lines. Exciting, eh? .:p Clip Song
