Did you know that a picture taken with a digital camera is always unsharp...always! Regarding of the quality of the lens, chip, amount of megapixels or the format it is saved in!


Define "unsharp"?

So, basically, you die for a second when you sneeze?

The only other bodily function that has as much power as the human sneeze is the human male orgasm. (That's true, too!)

OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!

"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

grilling and barbequing are not the same thing but it appears that many people do not realize that.

grilling is cooking over an open flame. It can use a variety of temperatures though it tends to be hot and fast.

barbecue is a slow method of cooking over indirect heat with temperatures, low and slow. It allows meats to absorb smoke and develop flavors.
It's often easier for me to start barbequing pork, sausages, chicken, turkey, on rare occasions beef brisket, right before bed. It's similar to smoking except smoking is a method of curing some cuts of meat. Barbeque is cooking the meat to completion. There are few things finer tasting that the outside of a pork butt, or brisket than what I call the burnt ends.

What do John Williams, Julian Glover, Harrison Ford and George Lucas all have in common? They've all been involved in two George Lucas franchises: Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

Julian Glover also appeared in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, which John Williams scored. He was the voice of Aragog.
