Oh I would never for a moment have suggested yourself, Ana…..No mother would leave such a mess. I smell male….

You know that Lip balm prank video is at least a couple of years old, right? Is it so hard to get something more recent?

I hadn’t seen it and I figured, since I spend my life on the web, others may not have seen it either. Maybe you’d like to suggest a more recent clip we might like to post?

It might be untidy, but Al Gore’s office is still a hell of a nice looking place.

oh yeah, and Ana, some of those movie posters date back to the 50s! Surely *everyone*’s seen those now!

I did a survey and found that only 2.2% of the world population had seen those posters, so felt it worthwhile doing so

If the world were a Village of 100 People
There would be:
57 Asians 21 Europeans 10 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south 8 Africans
52 would be female 48 would be male
70 would be non-while 30 would be white
70 would be non-christian 30 would be Christian
89 would be heterosexual 11 would be homosexual
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world’s wealth ,and all 6 would be from the United States.
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
1(yes, only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness……you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation…you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep… you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in dish someplace…you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealth.
If your parents are still alive and still married…you are very rare, even in the United Stated and Canada.
SO…which of your 2.2% were you talking about?

My guess would be the same 2.2% as you, though I’m sure she’s too polite to say.
