Scientist have developed a new way to study a cow's digestive system by surgically cutting holes in the stomach area. The proper term for these holes are called "fisculas", which correlates to the process of making the cows "fisculated." Since this revolutionary process has begun it has been determined that scientist can feed the cow then later catch the food through the fistula as it's digesting. Yummy right? This is even more of a reason why I don't eat beef. Have fun with your Double Whoppers. Want some ketchup (hence condiment) with that fisculated beef?

I'm a big fan of Google Maps. I use it on my BlackBerry quite often. Sometimes when I get bored I use the panoramic view to scale different neighborhoods in my city. Recently, as to no surprise I discovered a drug transaction in progress (after I made this post Google removed the pictures) on the south side of Chicago. Note to the wise: if you see Google's "Zoom Car" driving down your block, then perhaps it's not a good idea to continue illegal activity. The vehicle I'm mentioning is subcontracted by Google to take pictures of city streets with an advanced panoramic camera mounted on the dash. It's only so long before Google is going to ring your doorbell and request to take a panoramic picture of your bedroom.....for educational purposes that is.

Have you ever wondered how some cartoon characters would look if they were real? I have, especially Homer Simpson - he'd be a funny looking guy.

Happy belated birthday to Matt. Although his birthday was yesterday, we've been on a non stop partying crusade since last Thursday. From the looks of it, he's continuing to get his grown man swagger on.

Final Thought: I bumped into this kid recently in a drug store. I use to be his recreational leader at this summer camp I worked while I was 16. I found my self really interested in what he had been up to lately. He told me it was his 1st year of high school, and then went on to talk about all the craziness he's been apart of lately. For a second I almost found my self preaching to him. I quickly regain my conscience - wished him well, and walked away. See the truth is I'd be a total hypocrite to tell him what's wrong and what's right. More importantly I think young boys in an environment like Chicago have to learn through personal experience more so than advice. The things he'll be exposed to are a better learning tool than any advice I can give him.
