POPSLove and a Puppy How is it that there is so much wealth in this world and yet, so many people are suffering? We are inundated in the US with commercials that tell us "for only $.33 a day, you can feed a child. After taxes, office expenses, executive expenses, advertising, photo shoots, postage and of course, "handling"...how much of that actually goes to help ANYBODY? We cannot help the whole World. But we can do whatever is in our power to help others in our own Community. That's a start. For the child in the picture, right now "Love is...a puppy." Very soon, he, and others like him, might well discover that "Love is...a Bowl of Rice."

POPSJust the Facts Mam… Two-thirds of the world’s eggplant is grown in New Jersey. The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls froze completely solid. The glue on Israeli postage stamps is certified kosher.

POPSStamp Increases From 41 To 42 cents On May 12* *unless you buy the "forever stamp" News of a postage increase is not good news for snail mail spammers, nor is it for businesses who mail documents and letters as a course of normal business. In our business offline we’ve tried to transition to email for as many correspondences as we can, but ink signatures are still required for many documents.

POPSWebsites you absolutely must bookmark, Part 1 www.eSnailer.com allows you to really send a real letter on real paper to anyone you know. We're talking think-you notes to grandma, or anything else you might possibly need to send a piece of paper to a company for. I know the form doesn't accept HTML but I haven't yet experimented with copy and pasting images yet, so if you find a way to place an image inside the body of the letter please let me know. THIS SITE IS FREE, AND YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO BUY POSTAGE!!

POPSAnother Wacky Court Ruling There has been no shortage of wacky court rulings in recent years regarding what is or isn't copyright infringement, but this latest case profiled in Techdirt takes the cake. I clipmarked the first paragraph from the article below but you have got to read the whole piece to let the real outrage burn into your head. This ruling puts into question whether an entire industry segment, the second hand CD/DVD market, is engaging in wholesale copyright fraud.

POPSChina Raises 800 year old ship I was wondering how it had held together after 800 years, but apparently they managed to lift it - Very slowly and carefully. They plan to store it in a tank with the same temperature and pressure as the ocean floor, that kept it waiting for 800 years, with windows so it can be seen by the public. They're selling the porcelain on Ebay with a reserve of 1c ($20,000 postage)
