Hey guys, as you might know, I'm normally not on the board during weekends...which was extended to yesterday because of it being a Texas state holiday (I'll give you a cookie if you can guess the holiday).
In addition, I'm traveling for work today and tomorrow, and my parents are coming in the day after that...leading into more traveling for Labor Day weekend. So I'll be out on early-middle next week.
Have a wonderful week, guys!

Today is Monday, Aug. 27, the 239th day of 2007. There are 126 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Aug. 27, 1883, the island volcano Krakatoa blew up; the resulting tidal waves in Indonesia’s Sunda Strait claimed some 36,000 lives in Java and Sumatra.
On this date:
In 1770, German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was born in Stuttgart.
In 1859, Col. Edwin L. Drake drilled the first successful oil well in the United States, near Titusville, Pa.
In 1892, fire seriously damaged New York’s original Metropolitan Opera House.
In 1894, Congress passed the Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act, which contained a provision for a graduated income tax that was later struck down by the Supreme Court.
In 1908, Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th president of the United States, was born near Stonewall, Texas.
In 1928, the Kellogg-Briand Pact was signed in Paris, outlawing war and providing for the peaceful settlement of disputes.
In 1962, the United States launched the Mariner 2 space probe, which flew past Venus in December 1962.
In 1967, Brian Epstein, manager of the Beatles, was found dead in his London flat from an overdose of sleeping pills; he was 32.
In 1975, Haile Selassie, the last emperor of Ethiopia’s 3,000-year-old monarchy, died in Addis Ababa at age 83 almost a year after being overthrown.
In 1979, British war hero Lord Louis Mountbatten was killed off the coast of Ireland in a boat explosion claimed by the Irish Republican Army.
Ten years ago: Former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy was charged with seeking and accepting more than $35,000 in trips, sports tickets and favors from companies that did business with his agency. (A jury found Espy innocent in 1998 of taking illegal gifts, but eight others pleaded guilty or were convicted of various charges; President Bill Clinton later issued seven pardons and a commutation.) Israel lifted a month-long blockade of Bethlehem that was imposed after a suicide bombing July 30 that killed 16 people.
Five years ago: President George W. Bush met at his Texas ranch with Saudi Arabia’s ambassador Prince Bandar bin Sultan; a White House spokesman said Bush told the Saudi diplomat he had not yet decided whether to attack Iraq. A Tokyo court acknowledged for the first time Japan’s use of biological weapons before and during World War II, but rejected demands for compensation by 180 Chinese who claimed they were victims of the germ warfare program.
One year ago: A Comair CRJ-100 crashed after trying to take off from the wrong runway in Lexington, Ky., killing 49 people and leaving the co-pilot the sole survivor. Two Fox News journalists, Steve Centanni and cameraman Olaf Wiig, were freed by militants nearly two weeks after being kidnapped in Gaza City. The action series “24” won Emmys for best drama series and best actor for Kiefer Sutherland; “The Office” was honored as best comedy.

It's already resumed here, which means I won't be woken up at 8am anymore by those little bastards who talk loudly while waiting for the bus to school.  |

Mr Robocop defeated me  Interesting situation. I said everything related to the theorem. Silence. Then, he started to ask questions. I said the answer, and he said "Why?". Now, after the 5. "why" i must say "i don't know". After ten question-sets, he said "I'm afraid this isn't enough". . . .  |

No, I can't see that working. You playing a guitar under his bedroom window just sounds...just sounds...
Ok, I'll come out and say it. It sounds gay, Debro. Freddie Mercury gay.
