Pre-Wired for Addiction, Eskimos Win Grey Cup, Not Dead Enough Bear Bites Hunter

Hand Picked Headline News

The Chemical Component of Addiction Some people come pre-wired - not too surprisingly.: There's some people that are addicted to running to such a degree that they end up permanently damaging their bones and muscles. I believe that's called endorphin addiction. I suppose it's some kind of misguided survival technique relying on compulsive behaviour - as long as it works, stick with it - you might live to a hundred and fifteen - or die early cause you picked the wrong stimulant! It's a crap shoot all around.

Edmonton Eskimos Win Grey Cup in Nailbiter Thrilling right down to the overtime finish.: I heard on some newscast today describing it as sacks, mistakes, and "Hail Mary Passes". That pretty much sums it up. Of course there were a few wounded - that can't be helped when you get guys the size of transport trucks running into each other full tilt. I like it better than American football because the ball tends to be in the air more. I'm certain others will disagree.

Bear Shot 4 Times Bites Hunter If you're going to pop a cap in a bear's ass make sure he's not going to get ticked off and bite your ass.: I always kind of liked these stories where the wildlife triumphs over the heavily armed hunter. By the same token, I also like the stories where the human triumphs over the wildlife with minimal assistance - like taking out a cougar with a Swiss Army knife sort of thing.

Check back regularly, no telling what little nugget of gnarled knowledge or whimsical wisdom you're going to unearth here but it could be a 'Breaking News Nugget' - and you can say you saw it here first. Others will just have to wait for the rest to catch up.

Smoker Forces Plane to Land, Microwave Hot Water Heater, Newspapers Losing Out to Internet

Hand Picked Headline News

Unruly Nicotine Addict Forces Plane to Return to Calgary That was nice of the pilot. He could have just kicked him out somewhere over Southern Saskatchewan.: I would think this guy has more than just a smoking problem. He's got some serious legal problems now that he's grounded!

Microwave Hot Water Heater This thing heats water on demand so it should be a real energy saver.: What we really need is some kind of closed loop water system. Maybe something like what they use on the Space Station. I'm thinking we waste far too much water!

Rupert Murdoch Predicts Gloomy Future for Newspapers It looks as if the Internet is slowly eroding the reader base.: The fact that you're reading this online could lend some credibility to Murdoch's prediction.

Google Base, Firefox 1.5, Walk-Through Lie Detector

Hand Picked Headline News

Google Base - A New Way to Unload Your Unwanted Items Like eBay but different.: This looks like it could someday be the ultimate garage sale, bazaar, free-for-all marketplace on the planet. This is so new it's going to take a day or two to sift the wheat from the chaff. I will keep you posted on this as the days and weeks progress into months and years. I think these Google guys have a presence that isn't going away anytime soon.

The Walk-Through Lie Detector It's going to be ugly when these get installed in the home.: It appears we are going to evolve into some kind of "know-it-all" being with a transparent skull and the ability to visualize others thoughts. Just think of the possibilities.

Firefox 1.5 Goes Live It's not quite 'live' yet but I'm already running it since early evening November 17th.: That means the link above will likely lead to Firefox 1.5 by the time you find this page. If it doesn't I'll just re-link it when it does.

Gas Saving Tips, Medical Breakthroughs, Godzilla Found, Toilets, Space, Relativity

Hand Picked Headline News

Strategies for Saving on the Gas Bill Could be subtitled "Strategies for Survival".: The ultimate strategy is to pack up and head for the tropics

Canadian Scientist Encouraged by Studies in Nerve Re-Generation Some day the spinal cord may be reparable.: People will still do stupid things to damage it in the first place though.

University of Alberta Researchers Pioneer Gene Therapy to Restore Alveoli and Lung Capillaries The goal is to help premature babies whose lungs are under developed due to breathing oxygen rich air in their early days.: So far it looks like it works for rat lungs.

Godzilla Found in Argentina Japanese not amused.: OK..., so it was a 140 million years ago that Godzilla roamed the oceans. It's still a scary looking beast after all those years.

Why Do Public Toilet Seats Have a Gap at the Front? I suppose another question would be, "Why don't you see urinals in the home?": These are some of the things you think about as you unload and I'm not even going to go into the toilet paper debate, at least not today.

Bacteria Turns Sewage into Rocket Fuel You just had to know this headline would follow the one on 'toilet seats' didn't you?: This is actually big news and not just for rocket scientists sitting on the crapper doing apogee and thrust vectoring calculations in their heads.

1,400 Pound Meteorite Found in Kansas It's an oriented pallasite which are rare.: And what's an oriented pallasite you might ask? It's one that comes screaming in without tumbling.

Brush Up on Einstein's Theory of Relativity It will give you something else to think about while you're sitting on the crapper dreaming up ways of turning turds into rocket fuel or wondering why your residential toilet seat doesn't have a gap at the front.: Geez..., what ever happened to reading an encyclopedia in the crapper? I'll tell you what happened, "The soup de jour is a laptop and not an encyclopedia.

Oak Island 4 Sale, Micralyne Wins Big Award, Drunken Moose Terrorize Seniors

Hand Picked Headline News

Oak Island For Sale A mere $7 million gets you a shot at the longest treasure hunt in history.: And a chance to become the seventh victim of the "money pit" - think of the possibilities.

Micralyne Wins Prestigious Canadian Innovation Award There's a lot more to Alberta than 'rig pigs' and 'cow pokes'.: With "the NINT" based in Edmonton as well, it appears we're likely to see some really tiny things happening in and around Edmonton.

Two Liquored Moose Get Rowdy at Old Folks Home Got a dog sic'd on them when they wouldn't leave the premises voluntarily.: Moose are not cute little furry things - they're big ugly dangerous things that could likely cause some serious damage drunk'd up. Bull moose can be dang'd dangerous when their hormones start racing - which is right around this time of year. Survivorman says they're the most dangerous animal in the Canadian wilderness.

New Energy from Hydrino, Oil Sands are Oil Industry's Future

Hand Picked Headline News

New Energy Source on the Horizon The only trouble is that if it works it means quantum theory doesn't!: In any case it wouldn't hurt me none to see a cheap and readily available source of energy. The first product of this new form of hydrogen - hydrino - is supposed to be a household heater. I can see this as being a big seller in Canada.

New Ways of Producing Petroleum Ways that also use up a lot of energy.: When oil is above $60 a barrel those issues are easily dismissed as trivial.

Possum Lodge Closing It's Doors, Cruise Ship Attacked by Pirates, Oetzi Claims 7th Victim

Hand Picked Headline News

Shuttering up Possum Lodge Last episode recorded in front of a live audience on November 5th, 2005.: Duct tape this message to your refrigerator, "The final show will air in March."

Pirates Attack Cruise Ship Just the thing to liven up a dull cruise ship holiday.: Of course there is a premium for adventure type holidays - in fact you may have to pay with your life.

The Curse of the Iceman Oetzi claims victim number seven.: Just goes to show you that you shouldn't be poking and prodding grumpy old mountain men.
