I'm trying to decide which is stranger:
* Arsenic may help fight leukemia
* Curry leaves could help diabetics
Or:
* Flame retardants have been found in the breast milk of women in the northwest U.S.

I'm a pretty big baseball fan, but I dont claim to know all the ins and outs of the Curse of the Bambino, but I think I have seen an answer for all of this for the Chargers, and it can be found in the Cubs.

The Cubs were brilliant this year to take their destiny into their own hands and remove the curse that has followed them around for so long. After the Steve Bartman fiasco, where a "fan" screwed the Cubs by catching a ball that would have been an out and made it a home run, they took that ball- put it into a big plexiglass case- hooked up electricity to the ball and completely fried the ball, blowing it into a million pieces. The jury is still out as to how well this curse breaker worked, but the Cubs are still alive and well in the playoff race.

So here is my proposition: If the Cubs win the world series and we see that curses can be broken by using these kinds of methods, Can we find Ryan Leaf wherever the hell he is, and make him a box like that? Sure, we can set him up in the "Q" and put him on display before the Titans game.

I'm sure he isnt doing anything that important nowadays and think of the morale boost this would give the team and fans...

This is amazing. Patient with kidney cancer - diagnosed by dogs? Supossedly this is a hard cancer to find that often kills people because it is found so late. Pretty incredible...

Arrgh Matey's today is National Talk Like a Pirate Day! Arrgh!

I wish Lucas would just release the original movies the way they were originally put out. He keeps fucking with them. The vhs copies are the only originals Lucasfilm has ever released! Lucas going back and altering the original movies once again is shameful. See below for a list of some noteable changes... or view them here

The Empire Strikes Back
The old woman who played the Emperor in Empire has been replaced by Ian McDiarmid (who played the character in Jedi and the recent prequels).

Return of the Jedi
The eyebrows of actor Sebastian Shaw have been erased in the new version, Naboo is now included among the worlds where celebrations are shown at the end of the film, and Anakin's Force ghost is now played by Hayden Christensen instead of Sebastian Shaw.

Footnote
It's also interesting to note that the lift on the assault weapons ban and the release of the new Star Wars DVD's coincide. Someone should take Lucas out with an AK-47 before he removes Indiana Jones' eyebrows.

Sales of Guinness are down six percent in Ireland and the company's CEO knows exactly what is to blame: gadgets.

Rather than booze away their hours in pubs, he says that young men have developed another perverse addiction, and are spending their money on "electronic stuff such as iPods".
