As
long as we're on the subject of largest, how about tongues? The new
Tongue Page has an ongoing contest to see who really does have the biggest
tongue, as well as tricks you can do with your tongue, celebrity tongues,
and an entire selection on pierced tongues. I know exactly what
you're thinking, but you're wrong. You could safely show this page to
your mother. http://users.ticnet.com/tongue/ |
| Just in case you
were wondering most Americans are allowed to marry their cousins.
(Although 31 states ban first-cousin marriages) In fact, the frequency
of cousin marriages in the U.S. is 1 in 1,000. There are no prohibitions
against cousin marriage in Canada and Europe. Just for the record, Charles
Darwin and Albert Einstein both married first cousins. Want to know more?

You can relax
now This website tells you how to make a thought screen helmet,
the materials and tools you need, and where to obtain the materials.
It was invented by Michael Menkin in 1998 and named after the thought
screens that were described by science fiction writer Edward Elmer Smith
Ph.D. in the Gray Lensman novels. Does it work? Jon Locke (at right)
is convinced: “Since trying Michael Menkin’s Helmet, I have not been
bothered by alien mind control. Now my thoughts are my own. I have achieved
meaningful work and am contributing to society.My life is better than
ever before.Thank you Michael for the work you are doing to save all
humanity.” |

| How to talk like
a cop Law Enforcement, like any other profession, has its own sound.
This isn't about the professional "legalese," but rather the quirks of
language that make a cop sound like a cop. http://www.hodrw.com/cop1.htm |
| As long as we're on the subject of cops I feel compelled to bring up one of the best ever cop television series, Adam 12. It premiered in the fall of 1968 and featured the day-today portrayal of officers Jim Reed and Pete Malloy. Officer Malloy is disillusioned by the death of his longtime partner, and is contemplating retirement. When paired with rookie cop Jim Reed, Malloy's interest in his work is reignited as he rises above his malaise to assist in training one of L.A.'s finest. |
