CLAIM: Lemmings commit suicide by hurling themselves, en masse, off cliffs.
FALSE: Lemmings do not periodically commit suicide by hurling themselves off cliffs. The idea that they do is just a myth. Belief in this myth was strengthened by a 1958 Disney documentary, White Wilderness, in which the filmmakers herded some hapless lemmings off a cliff in order to show this supposedly natural behavior.

Before Nintendo started putting arcades into little over priced plastic boxes there were places like Aracades and they had things that you can find at

Museum of Museums will eventually contain links to every museum on the planet, from the world’s largest to the most obscure (assuming they have a website). See the very beginning of this effort at U.S. Museums by State or the newly started Canadian Museums.
I say we hold them to it.
While we’re WAITING for them to get set up we can check it out ‘as is’… I suppose…

This is a true story about a dog that was shot at multiple times by a person with a massive inferiority complex, no sense of right and wrong and their bow and arrow.
The heartbreaking part of the story is that the dog died- the part of the story that will stay with me forever is that the dog was sitting at his family’s back door where he knew he’d be found by the people he loved.
I can’t help but to wonder if there is a place like that for the person who killed Conan.
I don’t think so.
The world – fit for neither human, nor beast.
CANADA IS A TOUGH PLACE….
When a 72-year-old Levis, Quebec, woman cleared her walk with a snowblower in December, sending some of the snow onto the adjacent property, the 43-year-old neighbor grabbed his blower and sent it back, and the two spent about 10 minutes blowing snow on each other before they stopped. (They “faced each other,” “engines roaring,” wrote the Canadian Press.) The neighbor then allegedly punched the woman (and her husband, who had come to help her) and was charged with assault.

Don’t Laugh, Don’t Laugh….
A 36-year-old man attempted to hang himself in a closet in January, but his girlfriend discovered him in time and pulled him down, but that just angered the man, who then fought with the girlfriend. A passer-by stepped in to help the woman, and in the process applied a wrestling hold to the suicidal man’s carotid artery, inadvertently killing him (San Diego, Calif.) (Irrelevant fact: The deceased’s last name was Kevorkian.) [KNSD-TV (San Diego), 2-1-08]
Hey guys…the deceased’s last name IS relevant…in a Twilight Zone sort of way
In The Long Ago before the age of Google I’m sure a lot of stuff like this happened:
1993 — Alvin Lastimado Jr., 18, was arrested in August at the Wahiawa, Hawaii, Public Library and charged with assault. He had been holding a woman against her will in his home, where he began to utter a satanic chant. In the middle of the chant, he forgot the words and told the woman he was going to the public library to look them up. The woman got free and called the police, who intercepted Lastimado in the “occult” section.

Wow…the Obama Girl argument sounds much more civil then what I hear in regular conversations about the ’08 Race. Maybe we should sing about it instead of yelling and wear cuter outfits instead of those slogan t-shirts.
