I’ve come to the conclusion that hospitals suck the life out of you. Early this morning my wife and I traveled to the white-walled fortress for her gall bladder surgery. The appointment was scheduled for 6am and after around an hour and a half of waiting she was transported to the OR.
The operation took about 45 minutes and the rest of the time we spent in the compact room–6 hours to be exact in what seemed like suspended animation. I figure hospital time is completely different from the time we are familiar with. It’s a completely different beast where one hour is equal to about 6 of our hours.

Literally only after one week of signing up with knowspam I’ve noticed that my inbox has been breathing better unlike its previous polluted self.

knowspam reports that it has blocked (since roughly April 9th) over 76,000 spam-related emails. Granted I’m no Lance Arthur but that to me is a substantial amount of spam in such a short time frame.

Got it.
Like Butch and Sundance jumping off a cliff into a business and marketing canyon–the fall will get us if the sharks in the supermarkets don’t.

Did you know Archivist George Redmonds of Great Britain discovered that a girl born in 1379 in Yorkshire, England was named “Diot Coke”? How about the software engineer Jon Blake Cusak and his wife who named their baby boy Jon Blake Cusak 2.0 or the 60-inch 121-pound catfish caught by Jason Holbrook and Cody Mullenix at Lake Texoma, Texas.
These are obscure facts that transcend the bizarre and unusual, began by a man named Robert Ripley who in his travels documented these strange facts with cartoons. Ripley, a fact hound, was born on Christmas Day in 1893 and originally began his career as a sports cartoonist.
