During the Middle Ages, it was thought that people sneezed only because the devil was taking over their body. So it became customary to say “God Bless You” whenever someone sneezed. It was thought that this simple gesture would ward the devil away.
But today we know that sneezing isn’t the devil’s work, only a natural and common bodily function. So why, then, do we still say “God Bless You” when someone sneezes? Because it’s polite, right? But why is it polite? We bless others when they sneeze because that’s what we were taught.
Maybe it would be better to just say “Excuse You” politely, or more accurately, “&^*% You”. Think about it. Why should we bless people for spreading their germs all over the place? Why should we bless people for getting others sick?
Next time someone sneezes, try just asking them if they’re okay, or politely pardon their action.

The new Xbox360 Elite isn’t supposed to be available for purchase until April 29, but one lucky guy was able to get one. Some stupid (and yet godly at the same time) Target employee sold the lucky duckling one, and yes, he’s selling it on EBay. The current bid is $810, and rising fast. So for only about 300+ extra dollars, you too can get an Xbox360 Elite 1 week early.
I just got back from vacation at Disney World, the happiest place on Earth (besides Pakman20.com, of course). The airport was pretty weird.
First, there was this weird kiosk. It sold cereal. Cereal. For $4.49 each you could buy your very own little bucket of cereal, or $5.99 for a combo of cereal, milk, and juice or yogurt. How strange; I’ve never seen one of those before.
That was on the 8th, on my way to vacation. Then on the way back one week later, today, in “Disney’s Magical Express” (a bus) the driver was telling me that the buses are required to pick up people 3 hours before they have to leave for their flight. This ensures that nobody missed their flight, and, as he revealed, is designed to give passengers time to buy things at the airport stores. Disney actually only owns 2 of the stores, but they sell products at over half of the.
So whichever way you look at it, Disney (and cereal) wins…
You may have a hard time pulling off some tricks on this board, but this board will help you get back up the hill… Thanks to students at The University of Waterloo, the deck is powered by some electric drill motors, has a turning radius of 2 meters and also has a kill switch to prevent the board from wiping out spectators when the rider falls off. It is still in development and testing by the students… So until it comes out you will just have to watch this video. Here.
LOL! If you go to Google Maps and get directions from NY, NY to London, direction #23 instructs you to swim 3,462 miles across the Atlantic. Haha, those Google coders have a great sense of humor. Check it out for yourself.
So, how many licks does it really take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? Even though the answers may vary depending on the amount of saliva you lick with, they’re are a variety of answers. According to Toosie Roll Inc.
We’ve been asking the question since 1970, when the original “How Many Licks?” commercial first ran. Since then, intrepid lickers both young and old have taken up the challenge of this mystery. Many have tried to lick their way to the center of the Tootsie Pop, and many have failed — for they couldn’t help but bite.”
Yet, with science and some appitite, these people have discovered a very good estimation CLICK HERE TO SEE THE RESULTS!
