POPSManatee Takes Manhattan 2: Return of Chumley I am totally fascinated by this.

The manual suggests that users immerse the condom in warm milk prior to its use to avoid diseases.

POPSBush's Secret: "I like to keep expectations low" (Video) From the heart of ravaged New Orleans comes the most awkward, revealing interview with Bush you have ever seen. That uncomfortable feeling you might get watching Bush squirm under Williams' unflinching questions might be the recognition that this is the man who not only has been leading the free world for 6 years but will continue to steer us into uncharted territory for the next 2 years as well. Williams seems visibly disappointed with Bush's superficiality on all matters. At least we get the answer to the Camus question.

POPSHealing Herbs: Turmeric "The medicinal properties of the turmeric have for millennia been known to the ancient Indians and its medical properties have been expounded in the Ayurvedic texts. It is only in recent years that Western scientists have increasingly recognised the medicinal properties of turmeric. According to a 2005 article in the Wall Street Journal titled, "Common Indian Spice Stirs Hope," research activity into curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is exploding. Two hundred and fifty-six curcumin papers were published in the past year according to a search of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Supplement sales have increased 35% from 2004, and the U.S. National Institutes of Health has four clinical trials underway to study curcumin treatment for pancreatic cancer, multiple myeloma, Alzheimer's, and colorectal cancer."
