   MWI is the only reality. Well, that and me, myself and I. How can I be sure? Been out of phase with this dimension my whole life, yet aside from becoming a little bowlegged from straddling universes, I'm still breathing.

   Another treacherous trail, not for foot travel but for big trucks is The Bolivian Highway or The Road To Hell. There has since been a new highway built to bypass this killer.

   Here is an article written by someone who traveled this road before the new bypass was completed. Coroico Journal;On a Deadly Road in Bolivia , Exciting New Vistas ...

    This is a documentary about a boy who has taught himself to use echo location to navigate around the world. Ben Underwood lost his eyes to a rare type of cancer at the age of 3. He can ride bike, play video games, rollerblade, shoot hoops and he's even writing a book. He is truly amazing!

    See Ben's story in this 5 part documentary:
    Part 1
    Part 2
    Part 3
    Part 4
    Part 5

    Here's a link to his website: http://www.benunderwood.com/index.html

    nice.
    when we first got zoe (it was a b-day gift for my daughter, and a surprise for me), i wasn't taking the best care of the fish bowl. i was okay with the prospect of an early departure for zoe. but, i have to say, that i have become surprisingly attached to him/her. i never thought i could have affection for a fish, or that a fish could have so much of a personality.

    Yves Rossy, known as the 'Fusion Man,' flies with a jet-powered single wing over the Alps in Bex, Switzerland, Wednesday, May 14, 2008.

    A Swiss pilot strapped on a jet-powered wing and leaped from a plane Wednesday for the first public demonstration of the homemade device, turning figure eights and soaring high above the Alps.

    Graylox....I don't drink coffee. And usually only caffeine-free coke.

    Funky.....The way you said "Nice", you almost sound like you thought that tombstone was for real...lol. Did you notice the dates on it? I'm still laughing at it, and I made it!

    dan- i knew that it wasn't real. the dates reminded me of zoe's predecessors. the friend who gave us the fish, told us that she/he was actually the 3rd one. the first 2 died immediately. when he went back to the store for the third time, he asked for the sturdiest fish they had. and voila! we had zoe.

    I wonder how you can tell if a fish is sturdy? Did it come with double-reinforced rebar?
