A lot of Catholics here in New Orleans but if you were to ask any one of them why Carnival, which is tied to Catholic traditions, begins on a different day every year, sometimes weeks apart, they just shrug. Tonite's the first New Orleans parade (the suburbs have already had one or two), and its on the mid-city route, which the Rocheblave house is a block and a half from, so Ima go on over, check it out. I'll be pissed if someone is blocking my driveway, but it's highly possible so I should get over it, take a deep breath, before I go. Today I was spraying a primer coat on the sheetrock (yeah, its finished, I ended up hiring it out, mostly, had to sand it myself), and near the end I'm in the kitchen spraying away and I hear a grunt outside and I look out the broken glass of the screwed shut back door and I see near nekkidity of a dude and we have a conversation which is me yelling at him, and him saying he is sorry, but I know how it is when you really gotta go. Shovel work, get me? Later.

Welcome to Steve! The man who (sort of) named this site finally comes on board. I am very excited he's put some of his amazing art up on the web. Make sure you check out all the links on the left hand side of his page. Enjoy.

Dave's link to the update on Richard Jewel also contained some information I was wondering about the other day. Apparently Eric Rudolph is still at large (they think he was the real bomber in the Atlanta case Jewel was wrongly accused of, plus he is wanted for several other bombings of abortion clinics.) Anyway, how can he still be at large? He's on the FBI's 10 most wanted list which means they are definitely looking for him, but more importantly, he's been all over the news (or at least he was a couple of years ago.) I thought that America's Most Wanted proves that there is nowhere to hide? They always catch everybody that shows up on that show. Somebody must have seen this guy. I am truely baffled. Either, a) someone is hiding him and doing all of his interfacing with the world (buying food, ect...) and Eric himself literally NEVER steps foot outside, or b) he moved somewhere they don't have any U.S. media penetration. And is b) even possible? Where the hell is this guy?

Anyone worried about the sun frying Earth sometime in the next billion years can rest easy: Astronomers have devised a way to move our planet to a safer orbit.

In a paper accepted by the journal Astrophysics and Space Science , planetary scientist Don Korycansky of the University of California-Santa Cruz and colleagues detail a plan to remove Earth from its current orbit to a cooler one using ''gravitational slingshot'' tugs provided by massive asteroids or comets redirected to pass nearby.

''Large-scale planetary engineering is possible with technical procedures we know about now,'' Korycansky says.

I am experiencing (have noticed for a few days) a wackiness in the archives of all pages having them. Is this a singular experience do you think?

paging dr reich

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - All he was trying to do was ease her chronic back pain, but when Dr. Stuart Meloy placed an electrode into one patient's back, she groaned. Not in pain, but in delight. ``This is a direct quote -- she said, 'You're going to have to teach my husband how to do that','' Meloy, an anesthesiologist and pain specialist in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, said in a telephone interview. Meloy had stumbled onto an unexpected side-effect of the pain device he was using -- an ability to cause orgasm. He has just patented this unexpected use of the device, a spinal cord stimulator made by device company Medtronic. Now he is trying to talk Minneapolis-based Medtronic into marketing the device for this use."

I'm going to go out on a limb and claim the lead in February's strange search request category with this one from 2/1/2001: http://www.google.com/search?q=endoscope+porn

Anyone care to top that?

"Mesmerizing images whose meanings are up to the viewer." (!?) Of course they are refering to Rudi Stern and his amazing multimedia production "Theater of Light".
