The first testicular guard Cup was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet in an NHL game was used in 1974.
It took 100 years for men to realize that the brain is also important.
I'm not sure if this is ironic, stupid or scary, but Senator John McCain - a man that during the presidential campaign un-sheepishly admitted he knows nothing about technology and the internet - is behind a Senate bill that may have serious consequences for net neutrality; the freedom of speech and the democratic nature of the internet*.
America has free speech. You can say anything as long as it’s not hateful, incites violence or causes harm. How is what Fox news is doing (esp. Glen Beck) different from screaming “fire” in a crowded theater?
Labeling Fox News as “journalism” is like saying hardcore pornography is “sex education.”
I landed in Buenos Aires and the next day I went to Bariloche. Kent, the guide and owner of the fly-fishing lodge, met me at the airport. He had arranged a few things for me with a local Travel agent. At least he thought he did, because when we stopped to pick up the paperwork, nothing had been done: Mr. Prandi was the most scatterbrained, distracted, non-medicated, person I have ever met.
I’ll admit I was somewhat down on arrival in Zurich. It didn’t help that my first hotel had a charming Swiss “country” motif. The lobby furniture was covered in cowhide designs. One wall in my room had a mural of a gopher looking under the dress of peasant girl raking hay, and in the bathroom there were little cows on the shower curtain and tiles. You even needed to get a “cow chip” from the front desk to use as a breakfast voucher. I didn’t, thank you, and for the first time was happy to see Starbucks in a European city.
