Oz! Have you heard this one!?
No, I don’t mean PUT gas (what you call petrol) in your car. I mean GAS it!
In Germany; a liter of regular gasoline now costs about $9.40 per gallon.
A German man doused his BMW with gasoline and torched it on Friday in protest at skyrocketing fuel costs, police [...]

Raspberry Ants

Hi Oz!
I thought you’d be interested to know about the flea-sized ants that has invaded Texas.
Apparently, they feed on electronics. Computers, burglar alarm systems, gas and electricity meters, iPods, telephone exchanges – all are considered food.
Recently they ruined pumps at a sewage facility. Now they are making their way to Nasa’s Johnson Space Centre [...]
Did I Tell You?

Hi Oz!
I know I’ve told you about Maryland’s tornadoes, droughts, wicked thunderstorms, hurricanes, blizzards, floods, rains, and even our pestilance [the 17 year cicadas], but apparently we have another event I have missed.
It seems in Pikesville, in Baltimore County at night, the people there are hearing loud booms followed by flashes of light. It remains [...]

Hi Oz!
With Politics in the main headlines in the U.S., one mayor in Chile might have the key on “how to get elected.”
He said any man 60 years and older who wants it can have up to four Viagra pills a month after undergoing a thorough medical exam.

Maternity Leave
Posted on January 8, 2008 - Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
Oz,
Maternity leave makes sense. It’s time for a working mom to spend with their
newborns, heal, bond with the babies, and enjoy.
However, when a need for maternity leave comes from a high school in the Denver
area, well, then it’s sad.
“Denver has one of the highest teen-pregnancy rates in the state.
Of every 1,000 girls ages 15 to [...]

Hi Boz
I am going to guess you know little about cricket
i guess i dont either
how ever i do recall a saying “its not cricket” whick basically means it is unfair
based on the premise that cricket was played fairly and the batters would admit to being out without having to have the umpire give them out, [...]
Drunkeness: An Epidemic?

Hi Oz
Recent headlines having to do with drunk driving and binge drinking, really make me wonder why does everyone need to drown themselves with the bottle to have fun or even in their everyday life?

Hi Oz
I know you’re a Beatles Fan, so I thought to pass this on to you.
Apparently a lock of John Lennon’s hair was auctioned off for $48,000. It wasn’t expected to bring in that much said Gorringes Auction House.
“It is astonishing that there is still so much interest in the Beatles and the sale [...]
Annapolis Mideast Peace Talks?
Posted on November 27, 2007 - Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
Hi Oz!
Perhaps you’ve heard in my own backyard of Annapolis, we are hosting Mideast Peace Talks!
It’s easy to be skeptical, but even easier, as while the talks will be going on, Iran just announced it has produced a new missile that has a range of 1,200 miles, an easy reach to Israel and U.S. Military [...]

Congratulations on your national elections now at a close. Yay! No more ads, circulars in your letterbox, propadanda even phoning your home. Hope your guy won!
Here though, we have a year to go for our National Elections, specifically for president. We are technically just getting started!

“Ant No Aphrodisiac”

Oz
Turns out in China, troops were sent out to stop protesters who had been conned into raising ants that were supposed to provide ingredients for a health tonic promising an aphrodisiac boost.
For every 10,000 yuan ($1,350) they paid the company as “deposit,” investors were promised a dividend of 3,250 yuan.
Chinese media have said the [...]
No Chestnuts Roasting by an Open Fire in San Francisco?
Posted on November 23, 2007 - Filed Under Environmentalism, News | Leave a Comment
Oz, surely you know the Christmas Song suggested in the title?
Apparently, San Francisco is considering banning fireplaces.
To me, that sounds a little extreme.
To ban our most primitive form of light and warmth while industry continues on, merrily polluting away (but offset by carbon credits) is plain wrong.
My guess is, the gas & electric [...]
Exchange Vote for an iPod Touch
Posted on November 15, 2007 - Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
Hi Oz, did you hear this one?
“NYU students said they’d take in exchange for their right to vote an iPod Touch in the next presidential election, a recent survey by an NYU journalism class found.
Only 20 percent said they’d exchange their vote for an iPod touch.”
That’s a worry that young college people should think like [...]
Annie Lennox gives fans the Finger
Posted on November 9, 2007 - Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
Hi Oz
We both know what a music fan I am, but we also know that we have realistic views of the ’stars’ behind the music. Basically they are arrogant, spoiled brats. I don’t think age and experience softens them too much either.
Take the recent story about former Eurythmics member, Annie Lennox. She was in a [...]
