Received a funny email today about Caffeine-related disorders. In the clinician’s handbook for diagnosing mental disorders (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, known as the DSM-IV-TR), caffeine-related disorders are classified under the category of substance-related disorders.

I have finished reading the book, “Unstoppable Every 1,500 Years Global Warming” by S. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery.

Dr. Al Sears, an MD from Florida, reports that: Chances are you know of a child on Ritalin or some other prescription drug for “attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder†(ADHD).

Dave Barry quote re Journalistic objectivity
I am a big fan of Dave Barry in small doses. I can’t read his books for very long because once you figure out that everything is a setup for the punchlines, it stops being funny. But here’s a small dose that got me laughing today when I read it in The Patriot, the thrice-weekly […]
Three legs for good rankings at Google

Plasma Light Bulb
Here’s an interesting video about a tiny light bulb (the size of a tic tac) putting out more light than a street light. Amazing to see it in action. I am wondering how they can contain any plasma that is at 6,000 degrees Kelvin.

Rather than put them in an ephemeral blog post, I put them on my quotes page. These quotes are particularly relevant to the attacks currently going on around the world against the religion of […]
Scientology Video Channel
The rise of YouTube over the last couple of years has amazed me. I had no idea that videos would grow to become so popular, and to contain so many subjects. Nor did I have a clue that comments left on Social Media sites like YouTube, Stumble Upon, and Digg would grow to be so […]
Injunction requested by Church of Scientology against the Anonymous terrorists
More on the terrorist activities of the Anonymous group in the Injunction filed by the Church of Scientology asking for relief and to keep them 500 feet away from our buildings. When you get enough bomb threats (dozens of them recently) and when you get enough harrassing phone calls (thousands of them) and when people […]
