IT'S EPIDEMIC :devil:

"Pandemic" big word for 2005 journalists--A "pandemic" sounds unspeaklby terrible but alot of people were saying the word last year. That's why it has been choosen "Top Word of 2005" by the Lexiteria, a customer dictionary and word list creator, beating out words such as "hurricane" "Dumpster"-diving and "vegan". Company president Robert Beard says "pandemic" has been around for a while but became "the word" because it applied to so many events huricanes & avian flu. Beard thinks it has replaced the less specific term "epidemic" among journalists. Beard says the other words had merit but believes in being conservative about word selection. A few years back the Lexiteria ranked "bling bling" as one of it's top words and "now it's falling out of usage"

BASEMENT REMOLDELING LEAVES CAT TRAPPED :eek:

Eau Claire, WI.

A basemeent remodeling project left Jany Chumas with one unsettling question after the drywalling was all done--where's the cat???--Marry Poppins, Chumas' pet cat, was nowhere to be found after the workers installed drywall in a room Jan. 2--Chumas said the cat is "the sweetest little thing but quite shy odf strangers" so she assumed she'd ran away. As more time passsed, she suspected the 7-pound ccat could be trapped in the wall-and her and her daughter headed down to the basement to search. She called the Eau Claire fire department and a crew went to her home. First they cut a small hole in the drywall near where Chumas heard the cats cries, :( but they only found insulation. Later they cut into the ceiling and Chumas crawled into the hole. Soon a weak-hungary-tired and dusty Mary Poppins "came tumbling out" of the celiing- she's fine-- and everyone is happy :D

CHEESY STUDY :eek:

Pepperoni eaters like to argue-procrastnate :(

A person's choice of pizza toppings can give a taste of their personailty traits, according to the Chicago-based Smell & Taste Treatment and Research oundation, which recently conducted a pizza topping survey for Domino's Pizza. The study suggests that people who like pepperoni on their pizza tend to be argumemtative procrastinators-people who like mutiple meat toppings on their pies are novelty-seeking extroverts who insist on being the center of attention--veggies lovers are trustworthy and loyal and people who prefer pineapple and onion pizza are likely to be aggressive and achievement oriented but get impatient with fools- my question- is who pays these people to do these riduculous surveys- and how much do they get paid-- :eek:
bizzare- and dumb--

SALVIA WANTED :(

Candians create art with DNA sequencing :eek:

Looking for the ultimate conversation piece for the home? How about a piece of art made from your own DNA-A Canadian company called DNA 11 is now producing digitally enhanced DNA protraits in a range of colors from customers samples. DNA 11 co-founder Adrian Salmunovie explains after sending in your salvia :mad:, your DNA fingerprint is photographed with a special lab camera to make a piece of art using "a portion of your DNA sequence" He says people often ask if they can surprise someone with a portrait by secretly collecting their salvia, but he doesn't encourage it-because you need to move a cotton swab around someones mouth for about 30 secnds to get the goods. "We haven't had one person do it yet" he says. they've created DNA portraits from fruit-dogs and even ferrets--GROSS :( :eek: :mad:
 
Got one for you,
While working security a few years ago, we caught on cctv a guy stealing his supervisors handbag from her car. His supervisor was prepared to let it go if he returned some personal items from the bag.
The guy denyed any responsibility.
We played a copy of the cctv,(and he was clearly visible) to him.
He denied it was him.
The police were called.
He denyed it was him.
The police looked at the cctv footage and agreed it was him.
Then one of the police turns to him and asks "what were you doing in the car park then?"
The guy replies "Going to get stuff from my car."
It turns out that the guy isn't insured, the car isn't taxed, he's banned from driving, the car registration plate doesn't match the make and model of the car (and therefore possibly stolen) and there's a warrant out for faliure to attend a court appearance on him.
A few days later the police turn up at where I worked, "Has that guy come back here?"
I said "No, why?"
"Er, we took his details and told him to report to the station the next day...it turns out he gave us a false address and he's vanished."
"No really?"
