  1. Who’s St. Monegundis<\/a>?<\/li>\n
  2. Whatever happened to “Mission Accomplished?”  It’s been cropped from the record<\/a> … (via Terry<\/a>)<\/small> <\/li>\n
  3. In 1957, Tulsa buried a time capsule<\/a> that included a car to be awarded to the person (or heirs) who came closest to estimating Tulsa’s population when they dug it up … this year.  Alas, water seepage mad the ’57 Plymouth Belvedere more than a bit rusty, but it’s all been a big story in town<\/a>. (via Solonor<\/a>)<\/small> <\/li>\n
  4. 10 IT Technical Skills<\/a> that aren’t likely to earn you the big bucks any more (or for very long).  Knowing how many of these I know, or have seen come (and go), is a scosh disturbing.<\/li>\n
  5. What better way to defeat an opposing army than dose them with a heavy aphrodesiac, especially one that turns them gay<\/a>?<\/li>\n
  6. A cultural chart\/map of the world<\/a>, grouping countries on a Survival-vs-Self-Expression values axis, vs. a Traditional-vs-Secular\/Rational axis.  Interesting.<\/li>\n
  7. If the VP’s office doesn’t (as it claims) have to adhere to executive branch oversight policies because it’s not a part of the executive branch (since Cheney is also President of the Senate), does that mean that Congress can cut its funding<\/a> from the executive branch budget bill?  Pretty to think so.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
