Spammers Suck

All comments containing spam or spamming site addresses have been wiped off and will continue to be wiped off this site and any other that I have control of. Spam sucks and so do the people who do the spamming.

Not to mention the fact that they are stupid bastards that I would *never* buy anything from. I could care less what they have to sell, what they know or what they want me to do.

So why bother? All the spammers are doing on this site is wasting their time.

One reason I love spaniels


Michael Bosch's Cocker Spaniel, Honey, turned out to be a real honey when she saved his life, just two weeks after he saved hers by adopting her from a shelter.

Michael reversed his truck just a bit too far and rolled backwards into a ravine. The truck rolled over and he and the dog were trapped inside until Michael was able to open a window. He told the dog to go for help, and the dog ran to a neighbour's house. The neighbour said, "She was bringing me here... she was directing me".

Michael was rescued just in time after six hours. The full story is here.

Makes you want to go out and hug a spaniel.

Amazing! Singing Mice


Read the full story here:

CNN.com

Science and Space report on a study regarding singing in male mice.

"Male mice can be added to the short list of creatures that sing in the presence of the opposite sex."

"ST. LOUIS, Missouri (AP) -- Songbirds may be the Sinatras of the animal world, but male mice can carry a tune too, say Washington University researchers who were surprised by what they heard."
