Health officials in Africa have discovered a new and extremely deadly virus which has killed 4 of the 5 people who have contracted it. Similar to Ebola, this new virus is only transmitted by blood. And, unlike AIDS which lingers undetected for a long period of time, this virus kills within hours. So, a person could die before they had to chance to spread it to others.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t have as big a following as the swine flu so I doubt that it will amount to much.

Poor Mel Gibson. He has gotten himself into quite a dilemma. He is still married to his wife and yet he has a pregnant girlfriend.

If he annuls his present marriage since divorce is not recognized by the Catholic church, he is declaring that he was never really married to his present wife. This, of course, would make his present children “bastards”. On the other hand, if he doesn’t married his girlfriend, her child will be a “bastard”. Either way you look at it, it is a loose loose situation for Mel.

For many many years, I have been letting my hair grow and have always kept it back in a pony tail.  The idea was to donate the hair once it was long enough.

Well, that day arrived last weekend.  I had about 18 inches lopped off leaving about a 4 inch ponytail.

The interesting part was when I returned back to work the following Monday.  No one noticed, not even the people who had been asking me when I was going to get it cut!

I guess it is because I still wear it in a ponytail.

The spammers have returned! About 6 months ago, I quit receiving spam which I found to be quite curious. Now, Kir, Neo, Bill, Heel, Diesel and all of the old regulars are back. So, now my blog has gone from 5 spams a day back up to 200. Fortunately, the spam goes into a separate file for my review so it is easy to deal with.

Supposedly, I have a spam filter which will automatically delete the spam but it must not be working anymore. Oh well, at least I can manually delete the spam in bulk.
