...And furthermore!

I would like to draw attention to This.

If your browser supports this rather odd piece of software (which mine didn't til a few minutes ago) you will see that the world has largely disappeared and only the US of A is left. I don't know about anyone else, but I find that a little disturbing, since I'm sure I don't live there.

Unless certain theories on the nature of time and space have been proven horribly horribly wrong and the world is a big hoax and and and...

So you see, the End IS Nigh.

Don't believe me?

I present Exhibit G (from Netscape News.):

"Another State May Legalize Cat Hunting

"Wisconsin has taken the first step toward legalizing cat hunting. Residents of the state were given the opportunity during statewide hearings on Monday to vote for or against a proposal offered by the Wisconsin Conservation Congress, a citizens' advisory group, to make the hunting and killing of cats legal, reports The Associated Press. The proposal was approved by a vote of 6,830 to 5,201 and will now be forwarded to the state Natural Resources Board. To become law, the measure would have to be approved by the legislature and be signed by the governor.

"If the proposal is passed into state law, then any free-roaming cat will be considered an unprotected species. This includes domestic cats that are not under their owner's direct control or any cat that is not wearing a collar. When an animal is listed as unprotected, it can be hunted by anyone with a small-game license. Other unprotected animals include skunks and gophers. Cat hunting is already legal in South Dakota and Minnesota and has been for decades.

"Why do they want to kill cats in Wisconsin? State officials say that wild cats kill an estimated 47 million to 139 million songbirds every year. Even though the plan was met with stiff opposition from cat lovers--they organized the Wisconsin Cat-Action Team and started a Web site at http://dontshootthecat.com--the proposal still passed.

"The Humane Society of the United States has described cat hunting as cruel and archaic, notes AP. At least two state senators have vowed to do everything than can to prevent this from becoming law."


Tol' ya!

That google maps is a test piece of software and quite cool.
Have you tried using it?
You can get exact routes with each junction and turn represented in words but also in directions.

Lets hope they get something like this for Uk and Ire.
:)

Anyway, nice site, keep the blogs flowing, but don't spend your life on it!
Jesus bless.
