A pregnant woman ticketed for driving in the carpool lane will have her day in court next month to argue that her unborn child counts as a 2nd person


"He asked how many people were in the car with me, and I said, ‘Two’ and he said ‘No, one.’ I said I was nine months pregnant and had my son in the car with me," she said. "The way the law is written, he can occupy the vehicle without occupying a seat."

More Google Fun



Google Suggest is similar to using a Help Index feature. I think I like this. As you type, suggestions appear for what you may be looking for. This helps if you can't spell.

Do you need to translate something, say English to Spanish or Japanese to English.
Try Google Translate.

Trying to find a video of something? Try Google Video. Also works if you are really bored. I did a search for U2 Dallas and found a cool video of the concert I attended.

Welcome to the Christian Deer Hunters Association

And from Buckmasters, it turns out God Listens to Hunters' Prayers.
Hoping to get a clear shot, I started toward his stand, moving slowly and praying all the way. I asked God to give me a good shot and to take control of the slug (12-gauge gun) and to drop him on the spot.

I'm still a kid at heart when it comes to things like a new U2 DVD

The first thing I did after work yesterday was purchase the new U2 DVD of their Chicago performance of the Vertigo tour and rush home to stick it into the DVD player. For the next 3 hours and 17 minutes I was in a heavenly bliss. It's so great watching them perform.

Notable stuff:

- Bono messes up while singing and states he has a frog in his throat.
- Bono introduces himself as Paul to a kid.
- Very similar to the Dallas concert.
- Groovy disc two.

More 'Lost' stuff - Two Tidbits

Tidbit 1

Remember the Hanso Foundation?

If not, here is a brief refresher from Wikipedia:
The Hanso Foundation, through its funding of the Dharma Initiative, was involved in the construction of a mysterious underground bunker on the "Lost" island, designated "Station 3" and also known as "the Swan." This facility was originally designed to be a laboratory where scientists could study the unique electromagnetic fluctuations in that sector of the island.

Anywho, the first link in the Active Projects section of the Hanso Foundation website is now active and it leads to a press release celebrating the 105th birthday of an orangutan named "Joop", also known as "experimental subject 626" in the "Life Extension Project".

Tidbit 2
It's hard trying to figure out what Walt has been saying to Shannon. You can listen to a clip of what he is saying here. A video of Walt talking can be found here. From what I have been reading, he is speaking backwards, and here are some of the iterpretations that I have found:
- “They’re coming and they’re close.”
- "don't hit the button, the button is bad"
- And my favorite, “don’t follow me or some surly latin chick will shoot you.”

Tom Green's phone number: 1 (310) 717-1919

I'm really not a Tom Green fan, but I noticed on his blog that he actually posted his cell phone number just to see what would happen.

You can read more about it here, just go to the 2005-11-10 16:56:22 entry.
