POPS"Hold the Penis" I've tried to title this clip three different ways and it still has me laughing out loud.

POPSHonor Killing - Religion at Work We always hear of cultural preservation. Maybe we ought to hear more of cultural castigation. Aspects of some cultures are so primitive, so mired in backwards, ignorant superstition that they deserve to be derided and scorned by all peoples of more enlightened cultures. This story sickens me on many levels.

POPSCemetery Technology: After Death - What would Grandma say? The drive-by cemetery with tilted, glow-in-the-dark tombstones creeps me out. Another creepy suggestion is for Grandma to write e-mails addressed to you before she dies and arrange to have them delivered to you periodically after her death. Yikes! :eek: I would, however, give a lot to hear my grandmother's voice again. She died in 1985. :(

POPSBill Maher on the Sarah "The Barricuda Yikes...what great nickname...but maybe pufferfish would be more appropriate since when ever you apoke her with a sharp question she puffs up with talking points and evades the answer.

POPSNew Facebook ads: privacy concerns not just alarmism Security researchers at CA have found that Facebook is now collecting information about your activities on partner sites regardless -- this is important -- regardless of whether you have opted out or even whether you are logged in to Facebook . Also see the linked follow-up post (slightly more technical, http://snipr.com/1utzp). I am not usually really worried by advertising-related privacy issues, but the fact that Facebook now tracks you when you're logged out of the site -- and the additional fact that they are publicly misrepresenting this capability -- is a little unnerving.

POPSMy Chemical Baby Most Americans haven't heard of body burden testing, but it's a hot topic among environmentalists and public health experts who warn that the industrial chemicals we come into contact with every day are accumulating in our bodies and endangering our health in ways we have yet to understand. Yikes!

POPSIs Turbulence During A Flight Dangerous? I do NOT like flying. Turbulence is one of the main reasons. It totally freaks me out!! The answer "not really" doesn't really put my mind at ease either, ya know? ;) *************************************** * In nonfatal accidents, in-flight turbulence is the leading cause of injuries to airline passengers and flight attendants. * Each year, approximately 58 people in the United States are injured by turbulence while not wearing their seat belts. * From 1980 through June 2004, U.S. air carriers had 198 turbulence accidents*, resulting in 266 serious injuries and three fatalities. * At least two of the three fatalities involved passengers who were not wearing their seat belts while the seat belt sign was illuminated. * Generally, two-thirds of turbulence-related accidents occur at or above 30,000 feet.

POPSPutin's war enablers: Bush and Cheney And BTW, this is not "Blame America First" (which would mean Bush/Cheney are America? Yikes!) but putting the blame where it belongs. Exceeding his political priorities and invading a weaker neighbor, Putin. Enabling him, Bush/Cheney.

POPSCane rat Haven't eaten one, but my mother was raised on them and she said they were delicious. Yikes!

POPSPalin addresses AIP convention And she did it from the governor's mansion, while she held the office. Now remind me again who won the American Civil War and what side the Republicans used to be on?

POPSWe Are All On Drugs! Whether you are a pharmaceutical pill popper or not, you still are taking Big Pharma's Drugs by just being thirsty and drinking a glass of water. Gives new meaning to the 17th-century English poet John Donne, who penned the words below: No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. Just think, every human body, that is ingesting the Doctor ordered drugs and eliminating some of these substances because the body is incapable of digesting all of the noxious ingredients. Therefore, sharing these prescribed poisons unwittingly, with the rest of us with one trip to the bathroom. YIKES! :shock:
