KIVA

Anyone ever heard of KIVA? I found out about it from Bill Clinton's book. It's an organzation through which you loan money (minimum $25) to a specific entrepreneur in the developing world, empowering them to lift themselves out of poverty. The loan is disbursed thru a local organization and the entrepreneur pays it back based on a repayment schedule. I made my first loan in December and the recipient has already begun to repay. Credit is with KIVA and can be loaned again or funds can be returned.
If anyone is so inclined, give it a try - think of all the good that can come out of this small gesture.

The Heaviest Element Known to Science: A new element on the periodic table found!!!

The Heaviest Element Known to Science:

Lawrence Livermore Laboratories in Canada has made a startling discovery in finding the heaviest element yet known to science.

The new element, Governmentium (Gv) has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.

Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2- 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

In fact, Governmentium' s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of morons promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass deposits.

The location of Governmentium deposits is found in every Provincial capital and a motherlode in Ottawa

When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons, but twice as many morons.

February birthdays?

There's my dad (Feb 18th) and I think Auntie Dot.

Is it just me or is time flying by at an incredible rate? I for one am glad January and all it's snow is over. Sorry Jen.

Snow Melting Machine.

This was the best picture I could find of that mammoth snow melting machine Jay described. Good thing it makes up in function all that it lacks in Industrial Design. That thing is UGLY!

Now, what do you use in a situation like the picture below? Napalm? Or maybe we just call up Jen since she loves snow so much. ;o)




What? You say you love bacon?


Then feast your eyes on this 5000 calorie log of pure bacon-y goodness! Pigs all had nightmares in unison when this baby was created. By an American of course. (If it was created by a trini, it'd be in an iron pot full of gravy.)
