To anyone who did not know: Martin Luther King Jr. was NOT assinated. I repeat, he was NOT assinated. This is one of those times Google may be wrong (see one of the top links in that search).

Anyone who knows me well also knows I love seafood. I found a great deal of amusement in this story. It started 2 days ago. Apparently a 22-pound lobster was saved from being someone's dinner and it was to be sent to an aquarium instead. Initially the funny part was that it "boiled" down to a case of P.E.T.A. vs P.E.T.A.: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent Wholey a letter asking him to work with the group to release Bubba back in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Maine.

Sounds like something out of Star Trek, no? Since I was in elementary school I would always find it irritating when someone told me that they could not study without some sort of "noise" (music or whatever). That never sat right with me. I was reading Parade Magazine this morning and looked upon "Ask Marilyn". Someone wrote in: I have fairly bad eyesight. But why is it that when I remove my glasses, I can't hear people as well?

This is pretty funny. A Fear Factor viewer is suing NBC for watching contestants eat rats. Aitken's handwritten lawsuit contends the rat-eating made his blood pressure rise, resulting in being dizzy and lightheaded -- and vomiting. Because he was disoriented he ran into a doorway, "causing suffering, injury and great pain." Asked why he didn’t shut off his television before the rat-eating segment, Aitken said he couldn’t do it quick enough.

When I walk into work this morning there is a note outside of my section of cubicles. It reads something like this: "The heat was cancelled for this section, please feel free to relocate to other parts of the building." I thought it was a joke but sure enough my desk, computer and everything else seems like it was left out to cool. So I sit and try to work with my hat, scarf and gloves on.
