Is France a country?

I don't get people who are proud of their idiocy. I'm embarrassed for them!

interesting dream

One of my regrets in life is that I didn't do more with my father's mother, my grandmother. I had a dream last night that she was alive and my brother Fred and I were with her. I realized in my dream that, even though my grandmother was miraculously alive again, I wasn't doing more with her as I'd previously regretted not doing. I was aware of the regret even as it was happening!

banning young motorcycle riders in MA

I was riding a 250cc motorcycle by the age of 12. I think it should be up to parents to decide and supervise what their children do motorcycle-wise.

A Massachusetts state lawmaker believes kids don't have any business riding motorcycles or ATVs, and he wants to ban them from doing so.

Rep. Matthew Patrick (D-Barnstable) has introduced House Bill 3592 to ban kids 13 or younger from riding motorcycles or ATVs anywhere in the state--even in their own back yards. The bill also would limit kids ages 14 and 15 to machines with 90cc or smaller motors.

Howard Konopka and Scott Byron are just two Massachusetts residents who have written to the lawmaker to oppose the proposed ban.

The bill "would not prevent the irresponsible use of these vehicles by those most prone to injury--i.e. children of parents too irresponsible to have their children properly trained or otherwise supervised," Konopka wrote. Instead, he said, it "would penalize those families that have taken appropriate action to protect their children...and who want their children to participate before the age of 16."

LONG (O' Longaigh)

The Longs in Ireland will have a number of differing origins for their names. Some will be the descendants of English, Scottish, and Norman origin. The Norman de Long and le Lung arrived in the 12th century with the Anglo-Norman conquest and established in numerous locations. A number of Irish Gaelic septs of O/ Longain and O/ Longaig will contribute to the origin of the name. One sept was located in Co. Armagh., but the greater numbers were in Co. Cork at Cannovee and also at Moviddy. The Longs lost all their lands in the upheaval of the 17th century. The name is found in its greatest numbers in Munster, Co. Cork being most favored. The line of direct descent from the last elected Chieftain to the presebt day is unbroken--the official title is styled "O'Long of Carrenelongy."

silver fillings and aluminum foil

OUCH!

Q. Can any one tell me why we get like electric shocks or whatever when we chew on a piece of aluminum foil (with silver fillings in a couple of teeth)?

A. From Joe Schultz: That is exactly what you get...an electric shock. The filling is
made of an amalgam of mercury and either tin or silver. When the aluminum
foil touches the filling, a galvanic cell is created in the mouth. Aluminum
is the anode, the filling is the cathode and the saliva is the electrolyte
'salt bridge.' The contact essentially short circuits the cell and a small
amount of current flows which is sensed by the nerves in the teeth. There is
the pain you feel.

Frasier sings "Buttons and Bows"

Hilarimous squared! Sing along!

East is East, and West is West,
And the wrong one I have chose.
Lets go where, you'll keep on wearing those
Dah, dah, dahs and boppa dohs.
Things and buttons and buttons and bows.

Don't bury me, ah, ah, lovely pea.
Ah, something, la, la, la.
Lets all go to a (beat) taco show.
And a shushing and frushing, pull my nose.
Young man, buttons and bows.

I'll love you in buckskin la da da da da-da da.
Ha, ha; ha, ha, ha!
Everybody!

My bones denounce, the fearful trounce and the la la la, Moldic Rose.
Vada seuss, a palm caboose and a danda hop and pantyhose
You're a buppity, buttons and bows!

good signs!
