Yahoo! News - A World Drinking Record: "Latvian police said a drunk picked up with around twice the blood-alcohol level considered deadly had probably set a world record but would wake with a hangover to match.
The unidentified middle-aged man was unconscious but stable after a blood test showed 7.22 parts per million of alcohol, police spokeswoman Ieva Zvidre said."
Zorak's highest recorded level was 3.3, tested 4 hours after I stopped drinking. That was pretty rough.

"You must remember this, a kiss is still a
kiss". Your romance is Casablanca. A
classic story of love in trying times, chock
full of both cynicism and hope. You obviously
believe in true love, but you're also
constantly aware of practicality and societal
expectations. That's not always fun, but at
least it's realistic. Try not to let the Nazis
get you down too much.

abortion numbers: "Multiple abortions are the norm, not the exception. According to the survey, where the 'number of previous abortions was adequately reported,' 53 percent of women had an abortion for the first time in 2000. That means 47 percent of women having abortions in 2000 were not having their first abortion. How many abortions do women have? The survey breaks it down by state, but stops counting at 'three or more previous legal induced abortions.' In 2000, Maryland had the highest percentage of women having their fourth (or more) abortion: 16.7 percent. New York City had the second highest ratio, with 14.7 percent of women having at least their fourth abortion in 2000."

Man Gets More Than Phone Cut Off After Mix-Up: "Callers to [a local radio] station, reacting to the news, offered helpful hints to wayward husbands such as never sleeping on their backs and always keeping mobile phones tucked under the pillow."
Yeah, sleeping on your belly to ensure your spouse doesn't cut off your genitals. What a sound, deep sleep that must be.

Panel calls for neutral bathrooms. But the Rat will like it. I know she will!!!!
It notes that the University of Chicago held a panel discussion on the fact that men and women use separate bathrooms. One of the panelists is "involved with ongoing anecdotal research on gender iniquities in bathroom allotments."
I'm hoping they meant inequities. I think.

I pick up the phone at my new job today. Anticipating a call at the same time, I don't answer with my typical "Zorak the Mantis" greeting. Keep in mind, as you are reading, that my employer currently sells no products or services.
Zorak: "Hello."
Obnoxious caller: "Do you accept credit cards?"
Zorak: "Who are you trying to reach?"
Obnoxious caller: "Do you accept credit cards?"

Obnoxious caller: "Name of Zorak's Employer."
Zorak: "Who is calling?"
Obnoxious caller: Sighs. "Iris. Do you accept credit cards?"
Zorak: "For what?"
Obnoxious caller. "Thank you." Hangs up.
Right. I'm really, really difficult because I want to know who is calling me, what for, and why they need to know if my employer accepts credit cards. Arrrrgh.

Fish vs. sharks: A religious battle: "CAIRO, Egypt, Nov. 29 — First came the fish bumper stickers, imported from the United States and pasted on cars by members of Egypt’s Coptic minority as a symbol of their Christianity. Before long, some Muslims responded with their own bumper stickers: fish-hungry sharks."
Tammy Bruce of FrontPage magazine.com: reports: My good friend Marc Christian was Rock Hudson’s last partner. Marc, like most other Americans, is appalled at the reported portrayal of the President, not only because he believes it to be an untrue portrait, but because he knows.
Marc wrote a letter to CBS entertainment head Les Moonves making clear his disgust at the portrayal of the President, especially the assertion that Reagan was a cruel homophobe. While Marc did not write his letter for public consumption, I found it important and asked it I could share it with you. He graciously agreed.
Here is the education Marc Christian gave Les Moonves:
'The notion that President Reagan was a homophobe strikes me as silly beyond belief. Not only did he have several gay men on his staff when he was Governor of California, he called my lover, Rock Hudson when he was on his deathbed just weeks before he died of AIDS and wished him well and voiced his and Nancy's concern and prayers.
'…The Reagans had known Rock for years and knew he was gay (as did most in Hollywood). The point is Reagan could have ignored Rock's illness and didn't. He could have just issued a public statement concerning his 'official sorrow' but made a personal phone call instead.
'CBS used to be the network of class, now its the official arm of the Democrat party and its sources for information regarding truth below that of The National Enquirer. I bet President Reagan's phone call to Rock Hudson isn't in the screenplay or should I say smearplay, is it?'

Yahoo! News - Canada's View on Social Issues Is Opening Rifts With the U.S.: "Recently, while musing about his retirement plans, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien said he might just kick back and smoke some pot. 'I will have my money for my fine and a joint in the other hand,' he said with a smile."

The Bible’s Lost Stories: "In “The Da Vinci Code,” Brown suggests that she still had one more hold on Jesus—as his wife. That theory has been circulating for centuries. Some historians think it is possible because Jewish men of that era were almost always married, but many others dismiss that reasoning. Some argue that Jesus wasn’t conventional in any other sense, so why would he feel the need to be married? Others say that relegating her to the role of wife is belittling. “Let’s not continue the relentless denigration of Mary Magdalene by reducing her only importance to a sexual connection with Jesus,” says John Dominic Crossan, professor emeritus of religious studies at DePaul University in Chicago. “She’s not important because she was Mrs. Jesus. That’s like saying Hillary Rodham Clinton is only important because she’s married to Bill Clinton. Both women are important in their own right.”"
