Have we hit our lowest yet ?

Just when you think the human waste in government has done its worst more proof emerges. Seriously!? No one at Palm Beach County Division of Human Services thought to background check people working with kids at camps ? Not one single person though it might be a good idea to enquire about the criminal history of their employees?

Interesting tidbits

Some interesting tidbits from our South American news desk -

1) As per the map, nearly all of South America is actually east of Florida. This is something I didnt realize.

2) Brazil is is home to the largest population of Japanese outside of Japan. Imagine the sushi possibilities!

Lake Agassiz

I've been reading a book called "Ancient Shores" which is a story about a strange boat found in North Dakota. Apparently 14 thousand years ago a chunk of north america was under water, covered by Lake Agassiz. The book got me thinking. 14 thousand years ago ISNT that long ago. How much of human history are we missing due to it being covered up by planetary changes ? The planet has changed soooo much ~recently~ and no one really talks about it. How different was the world map 10000 years ago? I'm sure there was more changes than this lake...

Veterans of the 80's

Something Awful has posted an evaluation of the missions GI-JOE has undertaken for the American taxpayer. I swear I havnt laughed so hard in a long time. Worth a read.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
