This one of Snoop teaching how to move "latino style" is even more funny, because its true. At least in Mexico this is how they dance, and the music they listen to. By the way i feel better know that I know that even snoop is prone to the same Guilty Pleasure as I am - namely the music of Valentin Elizalde.

This afternoon, I swear there was a post from brandrinn about how the Nasubi thing had to be a hoax. Why did he change his mind?

Is there such a thing as a heartwarming, funny story about a KKK rally? Why, yes. Yes there is.

"The genetic link"? No, because as we later learn, "This is just the first of many – possibly as many as several hundred – that will be found." This one only accounts for up to one centimetre of height. One whole centimetre!Scientists believe they have uncovered the genetic link to height – explaining for the first time why some children are smaller than their friends.
What's with the focus on children? Do adults not have genes?The slightest genetic mutation can knock a centimetre off a child's eventual height, according to a study analysing the DNA of nearly 5,000 people.
"25 per cent of white Europeans" are affected by this gene. People who are unusually short are going to have other reasons, potentially complicated ones. Although I really don't get how knowing that your child is short because he/she has an inherited mutation in the gene HMGA2 would help anyway.The discovery means that it may soon be possible to reassure the anxious parents of unusually short children
We already knew there was a link between height and disease and this discovery does not seem to help explain it, AFAICT. I haven't read the actual article, but it just seems like this is something the news guy threw in.or explain why tall people run a greater risk of certain diseases such as cancers of the bladder, prostate and lungs.

I really don't get why people are freaking out over this. Yes, it's not a good thing, but they weren't exactly going towards a test-firing or anything. They were being taken to be decommissioned. The warheads weren't even armed.FinalZero wrote:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070906/ap_ ... r_warheadsThu Sep 6, 1:23 AM ET
