Some say "baby torture" I say genius


Here's an interesting list: 20 Nightmarish Baby Products. My favorite? The baby mop:
"Inventors in Japan are fed up with babies constantly making messes and never cleaning up after themselves. Introducing the baby mop, this leverages the all natural cleaning power of drool to buff your floors to a high shine. Please note that extended wear on carpet may build a static charge equivalent to licking a car battery."
See the whole chilling list here.

My new mantra

Even I can be a superhero... but only in Italy

My new job... heh

Report: 43 Mass Pike Workers Earn $100,000-Plus
BOSTON (AP) ― The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority paid 43 employees $100,000 or more last year even as it struggles with $2.4 billion in debt.

A payroll analysis by the Boston Herald found that the agency has 24 employees with six-figure salaries, while another 19 boosted their pay past the $100,000 mark with overtime work, including two who hang road signs.

The agency also paid 51 toll collectors $70,000 or more, with overtime.

Turnpike Executive Director Alan LeBovidge, credited with saving the agency millions of dollars by eliminating staff and reducing overtime, admitted that overtime is a burden, but defended the sign hangers as "highly skilled" workers.

Lawmakers are currently considering a plan to help the agency refinance $800 million in debt.

Why Massachusetts is great

Some real laws in Massachusetts

In Massachusetts, it is illegal to sing only a portion of 'The Star Spangled Banner' in public. So make sure you're committed to finishing the song once you start it. Note: it's also illegal to dance to it.

it is illegal to dance on Sunday - unless, of course, you are folk dancing or square dancing.

Did you know... in Massachusetts it is illegal to sell rabbits, ducks, or chickens that have been dyed a different color.

Keep your mule at home, unless you work on the first floor. It is illegal to keep a mule on the second story of a Boston building (unless there is more than one exit).

While you're at the Common, make sure you don't walk, stand or sit on the grass without a proclamation from the mayor. Also no lying or sleeping on the benches without Mr. Mayor's approval.

In Boston, it's illegal to play ball in the street.

Hold your horses! It is illegal to drive a horse-drawn carriage through snow or ice with fewer than three bells attached.

Practicing your shot on a target that looks like your ex may help with stress relief, but watch out for the cops. It's against the law for shooting ranges to set up targets that resemble human beings.

The Cold War is over, but it's still against the law in Massachusetts to be affiliated with the Communist Party.

Freedom of speech aside, Massachusetts General Law makes it illegal to reproach Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost.

Need to get one of these


I wonder how many miles to the gallon it gets?

Fun at the tanks

Gahh... I filled up my 1986 Mitsubishi Galant today. Eleven gallons... $47.26 dollars!!! I couldn't believe it... what is going on?

At least I wasn't the poor guy with the Ford F250 next to me who paid $131.00 for gas.
