Weird crap I came across reading Wikipedia after drinking a little bit:
It has been claimed that thanks to the success of The Beatles, EMI could fund research and build early models for medical use. The first production X-ray CT machine (in fact called the "EMI-Scanner") was limited to making tomographic sections of the brain, but acquired the image data in about 4 minutes (scanning two adjacent slices), and the computation time (using a Data General Nova minicomputer) was about 7 minutes per picture. This scanner required the use of a water-filled Perspex tank with a pre-shaped rubber "head-cap" at the front, which enclosed the patient's head. The water-tank was used to reduce the dynamic range of the radiation reaching the detectors (between scanning outside the head compared with scanning through the bone of the skull). The images were relatively low resolution, being composed of a matrix of only 80 x 80 pixels. The first EMI-Scanner was installed in Atkinson Morley Hospital in Wimbledon, England, and the first patient brain-scan was made with it in 1972.

Home Shopping: Fun with a ladder
You know what's going to happen before you watch it, but you watch it anyway.
We've been using one of these that we borrowed from a friend. It's a little more wobbly than a normal ladder, so we were a kind of nervous. Now I guess it'll just be my wife going up it... J/K :)

Massage's
What an unfortunate name for a massage therapist. She got arrested for propositioning a client who was also a police officer, but with a name like Mi Suk Yang who can blame her, right?

Random "best of" craigslist
Seeking Adult Drunk Clown for 30th Birthday party
Date: 2008-08-26, 3:22PM CDT
We need an Adult Drunk Clown who is good at getting drunk and stupid. No need to do any clown tricks, just hang out and drink a sh*t load. We will be hopping around to different bars and want a clown to tag a long and drink heavely. He doesn't even need to socialize with anyone, just drink.
the birthday is on Friday, Sept. 5th in Bucktown. Oh, did I mention that the clown needs to get sh*tfaced. Don't worry, we will purchase all the drinks.
Why Spongebob Squarepants is the perfect girl for me.

I wrote this a few weeks ago, and I wasn’t sure what to do with it, or perhaps what to make of myself. This looks like the place. Here you go Craigslisters, I present my arguments, in bullet form, why Spongebob Square pants is the perfect girl.
1. He’s low maintenance. No matter what happens to him, he never needs validation from anyone, for anything. He never asks Patrick to tell him who he is, never uses his friction with Squidward to bolster his own ego. All his energy is focused outward, albeit usually with mixed (and hilarious) results. He never complains about those results either, just trudges ahead with blind, infectious optimism.

Word sucks...

Just a tip... as a last resort if you have trouble getting rid of formatting, copy the whole section of text you are working with and paste it into notepad. Then start a new MS Word document and put it in there.
