Your first appearance, he said to me, is the gauge by which you will be measured; try to manage that you may go beyond yourself in after times, but beware of ever doing less. -- Jean Jacques Rousseau
The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself. -- Michel de Montaigne
The true purpose of education is to cherish and unfold the seed of immortality already sown within us; to develop, to their fullest extent, the capacities of every kind with which the God who made us has endowed us. - Anna Jameson, 1794-1860

Italy has 6 volcanoes which, while they have not erupted since 1302, still rumble menacingly. It has been shaken by many earthquakes, one of which on July 28, 1883, destroyed 3 towns and killed 2,300 men, women, and children.

Michael J. Fox on creating a name for his foundation, now the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research:
At one point, I thought I had come up with a terrific name, PDCure. Before I took it to the board, I thought I'd try it out on my wife Tracy. I wrote the name on a piece of paper, put it in front of her, and asked, "What do you think?"
After a beat, she looked up at me and said flatly, "Pedicure?"
Shouldn't it be one person live and many people lives?

- I am damn unsatisfied to be killed in this way.
- Fatty, you with your thick face have hurt my instep
- Gun wounds again! Fall down stupid white person.
- Same old rules: no eyes, no groin, no kissing.
- A normal person wouldn't steal pituitaries
- Damn, I'll burn you into a BBQ chicken wings!

- Greetings, large black person. Let us not forget to form a team up together and go into the country to inflict the pain of our karate feets on some ass of the giant lizard person.
- Our tong is bigger than your tong!
- No karate kicks be allowed on Shabbos.
I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then, it dawned on me, they were cramming for their finals. As for me, I'm just hoping God grades on the curve.

More about June Foray...
That’s right, she’s the voice of Rocky the Flying Squirrel (and Natasha and Tweety Bird’s Granny and the Fairy Queen in Thumbelina and more than 100 other cartoon characters - listing attached). Today her voice appears as Mrs. Wilson on The New Dennis the Menace, as Granny and Witch Hazel in the upcoming film Space Jam with Michael Jordan, and in a dozen other shows. Whatever your age, you’ve heard June. And it all began in the 1940's.
June launched her career at the ripe old age of 12 as a radio actor. She meowed her way onto the movie screen in 1950 as Lucifer the Cat in Walt Disney’s Cinderella and recorded more than 35 children’s albums. Since then, she’s made television history as the First Lady of Animation. Her credits run the gamut of Toon Land from witches and grannies to Ghostbusters and Smurfs.
But June is more than just a magical voice. She is teacher, author and advocate. June supports many environmental organizations and encourages student film makers. As a Governor of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (the Academy Awards organization) for 16 years, June chairs the Student Academy Awards Committee which honors short films by college students throughout the United States and Europe, as well as being a Governor of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (the Grammy Awards). June taught voice artistry at the University of Southern California and served as president of the Animated Film Society. It’s no wonder that many cities have declared June FORAY DAY's - she loves to encourage and help young people around the world.

Google Copernicus Center is hiring
Google is interviewing candidates for engineering positions at our lunar hosting and research center, opening late in the spring of 2007. This unique opportunity is available only to highly-qualified individuals who are willing to relocate for an extended period of time, are in top physical condition and are capable of surviving with limited access to such modern conveniences as soy low-fat lattes, The Sopranos and a steady supply of oxygen.
The Google Copernicus Hosting Environment and Experiment in Search Engineering (G.C.H.E.E.S.E.) is a fully integrated research, development and technology facility at which Google will be conducting experiments in entropized information filtering, high-density high-delivery hosting (HiDeHiDeHo) and de-oxygenated cubicle dwelling. This center will provide a unique platform from which Google will leapfrog current terrestrial-based technologies and bring information access to new heights of utility.
How much land is there in Antarctica?
Antarctica is 98% ice, 2% barren rock. The average thickness of the ice sheet is 7,200 feet; this amounts to 90% of all the ice and 70% of all the fresh water in the world. If the ice cap were to melt, the sea level would rise by an average of 230 feet.
350 B.C.
It was the ancient Greeks who first came up with the idea of Antarctica. They knew about the Arctic - named Arktos - The Bear, from the constellation the great bear and decided that in order to balance the world, there should be a similar cold Southern landmass that was the same but the opposite "Ant - Arktos" - opposite The Bear. They never actually went there, it was just a lucky guess!
