I think, when your name is rare enough that the stats regarding that name are negligible, it just spits out a "1250." I'll bet if you went on there and made up a nonsense last name, it would spit out "1250" as well.

LOL! LOLOL! Its the Charlie Brown Steroid Trial! CHARLIE BROWN HAS NEVER KNOWINGLY TAKEN STEROIDS. BY ANDREW AND EDWARD KIRKPATRICK - - - - (Court reporter's transcript.) - - - - DISTRICT ATTORNEY OTHMAR: Wah wah-wah wah, wah, wah wah-wah-wah wah? CHARLIE BROWN: I'm sorry, sir, but I didn't knowingly lie to the grand jury. D.A.: Wah-wah-wah-wah? BROWN: I did not knowingly take steroids, sir. Period. Snoopy gave me something to make me throw harder, but he said it was flaxseed oil and vitamin drops. I was tired of having the ball hit back up the middle and all my clothes torn off. D.A.: Wah wah wah-wah? BROWN: He's my dog, sir. He said he got the stuff from Woodstock. D.A.: Wah wah wah-wah? BROWN: A little yellow bird, sir. D.A.: Wah wah-wah wah wah wah-wah wah wah wah wah-wah-wah wah-wha-wah wah wah wah wah? BROWN: Yes, sir. D.A.: Wah wah wah wah-wah-wah wah-wah? BROWN: We were boyhood friends, sir. D.A.: Wah wah-wah wah wah wah wah wah? BROWN: My head's always been this big. Ask Sally. And I'm not going bald; I've never had more than three hairs, sir. D.A.: Wah-wah wah. BROWN: What's backne? D.A.: Wah-wah wah-wah wah. BROWN: Gross. D.A.: Wah wah-wah wah wah. BROWN: Greenies? Sure, there were amphetamines, but we didn't know they were illegal. Linus said they'd help us play with more pep. We only took them once, and then after the game we went back to my house and everybody started dancing crazy while our catcher played the piano. D.A.: Wah-wah-wah wah wah-wah wah-wah wah. BROWN: I play for the love of the game, sir. D.A.: Wah wah-wah wah? BROWN: Yeah, we've lost a lot of games over the years. D.A.: Wah-wah wah. Wah-wah wah-wah wah wah wah. BROWN: Who told you that, sir? D.A.: Wah wah-wah wah. BROWN: Hey, no way. You can't believe anything Franklin put in that book. You all are ... you're stupid blockheads! (The courtroom erupts in a babble of wah-wahs.) D.A.: Wah-wah-wah wah wah-wah wah. Wah. (The witness begins to cry.) BROWN: Have you ever seen our team, sir? We're hopeless. Just hopeless. The right fielder spends half the time in the infield trying to talk the catcher into going out with her. Our first baseman carries a blanket onto the field. My dog is the shortstop! He's the definition of "all field, no hit," and you don't even want to touch the ball after he catches it with his mouth. Have you ever lost a game 60-0? We needed a competitive advantage. I was sick of all the attention going to Peppermint Patty. Peppermint Patty's so great. She's so wonderful. She's been on the juice for years! Why do you think Marcie always calls her "sir"? Her testosterone levels are through the roof. But no one says anything because she's a girl. Franklin, Marcie, Pig-Pen ... they're all on the stuff. D.A.: Wah wah-wah wah. BROWN: I don't think so, sir. This is a witch hunt out to get Charlie Brown, because Charlie Brown is a boy. D.A.: Wah-wah wah wah wah wah wah-wah wah-wah-wah. (The witness holds his head in his hands.) BROWN: Does this mean our one win has to be forfeited? thank you.... www.mcsweeneys.net/

So, for around $300 you can get one hour in the air in a private enclosed area in a Piper Cherokee jet specifically designed for getting couples inducted into the world-renowned "Mile High Club." Champagne is on ice. They are kind enough to give you a kitchen timer that goes off 50 minutes in so they can tell you to get dressed and buckle up for descent back there. see www.milehighatlanta.com or www.flamingoair.net for details! This is the kind of stuff I read in the USA Today.

Fear not, although this is the view from the aptly named cockpit, the curtains are open (you can close them, but dont have to) and the pilot wears headphones so he cant hear you! You even get to keep your sheets!

www.myspace.com/thereal_lucasprata Play the track "And We Say Let's Go..." Prepare to be disturbed, but unable to turn it off. You feel like maybe you are listening to KTU [hell, I bet they're playing this... I haven't tuned in to NY's dance music station of late...] but then you take in the lyrics, and as scary as it is, you need to know what dumbass thing they will say next... WOW this is gay.

That song was painful.
"We don't got one great Carlos, we got two!" has got to be one of the stupidest lines ever in a song.

Alcohol use helps boost income: study Thu Sep 14, 6:44 AM ET
People who consume alcohol earn significantly more at their jobs than non-drinkers, according to a US study that highlighted "social capital" gained from drinking.
The study published in the Journal of Labor Research Thursday concluded that drinkers earn 10 to 14 percent more than teetotalers, and that men who drink socially bring home an additional seven percent in pay.
"Social drinking builds social capital," said Edward Stringham, an economics professor at San Jose State University and co-author of the study with fellow researcher Bethany Peters.
"Social drinkers are out networking, building relationships, and adding contacts to their BlackBerries that result in bigger paychecks."
The authors acknowledged their study, funded by the Reason Foundation, a libertarian think tank, contradicted research released in 2000 by the Harvard School of Public Health.
"We created our hypothesis through casual observation and examination of scholarly accounts," the authors said.
"Drinkers typically tend to be more social than abstainers."
The researchers said their empirical survey backed up the theory, and said the most likely explanation is that drinkers have a wider range of social contacts that help provide better job and business opportunities.
"Drinkers may be able to socialize more with clients and co-workers, giving drinkers an advantage in important relationships," the researchers said.
"Drinking may also provide individuals with opportunities to learn people, business, and social skills."
They also said these conclusions provide arguments against policies aimed at curbing alcohol use on university campuses and public venues.
"Not only do anti-alcohol policies reduce drinkers' fun, but they may also decrease earnings," the study said.
"One of the unintended consequences of alcohol restrictions is that they push drinking into private settings. This occurred during the Alcohol Prohibition of 1920-1933 and is happening on college campuses today. By preventing people from drinking in public, anti-alcohol policies eliminate one of the most important aspects of drinking: increased social capital."
The researchers found some differences in the economic effects of drinking among men and women. They concluded that men who drink earn 10 percent more than abstainers and women drinkers earn 14 percent more than non-drinkers.
However, unlike men, who get a seven percent income boost from drinking in bars, women who frequent bars at least once per month do not show higher earnings than women drinkers who do not visit bars.
"Perhaps women increase social capital apart from drinking in bars," the researchers said in an effort to explain the gender gap.

To pick Tony Stewart or the Yankees.....HMMMMMM
By PATRICK WALTERS
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Baseball fanatics won't have to leave behind their beloved teams when they finally go to that big stadium in the sky. Instead, they'll soon be able to rest in peace inside a coffin with team colors and insignia.
Major League Baseball has a marketing deal with a company called Eternal Image. It'll put team logos on caskets and urns. The effort begins next season with the Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers, Phillies, Cubs and Dodgers. It could eventually include all 30 teams.
Each urn will be stamped with a message saying Major League Baseball officially recognizes the deceased as a lifelong fan of that team.
After starting with baseball, Eternal Image hopes to branch out by making similar deals with the NFL, the NHL and NASCAR.
"We have been receiving these requests either directly or through our clubs for several years," said Susan Goodenow, an MLB spokeswoman. "Passionate fans express their love of their team in a number of different ways."
The National Funeral Directors Association is meeting in Philadelphia this week and giving its members a sneak peak of what the urns will look like. Eternal Image says urns for the six teams should be available by Opening Day 2007, and caskets for those teams should be ready later in the year. The products have not been made yet and the exact cost has not been set.
Kurt Soffe, a spokesman for the funeral association, said the MLB caskets are part of a trend of trying to capture "the life and the passions of the person that has passed away." At this year's convention, for instance, there was a Harley Davidson-themed casket and one featuring Betty Boop.
"More and more families are wanting to have something that respects the personalities," Soffe said.
Farmington Hills, Mich.-based Eternal Image, which also makes a line of Vatican-themed products, "wanted to break into a sports venue of some kind," said Clint Mytych, the company's CEO. "It is the all-American sport."
He said he has gotten at least 1,000 inquiries since June.
The Phillies urn was the first of the MLB products to be designed. Each urn will feature recognition of the deceased's passionate support, stamped with a message that says "Major League Baseball officially recognizes (person's name) as a lifelong fan of (team)."
The league, the manufacturer and funeral directors are trying to fill a need with the products. But they acknowledge that the sales will have to be done with respect, like all transactions in the sensitive world of funerals and burials.
David Griffin, funeral director at L.J. Griffin Funeral Home in suburban Detroit, said fans in many blue-collar cities have undying loyalty to their teams, which could make the MLB caskets and urns a hot commodity.
"Looking at it as a consumer, I was thinking this is some pretty interesting, unique stuff," Griffin said.
Nevertheless, funeral homes will have to be very careful so as not to offend their clients, many of whom will surely be scared off by the idea.
"They are a little bit hesitant because of what others might think," Soffe said.
The manufacturer also will have to make sure the products aren't too expensive. People who opt for cremation, for example, often do so partly because it is cheaper.
"I guess it's going to be interesting to see how it's accepted," Griffin said.

So much for Sheriff Tom's death pool...Barbaro could be released soon msn.foxsports.com/horseracing/story/6270202?FSO1&ATT=HMA"We haven't asked him at this point to jump a mare. We don't even know yet if the horse is fertile," Richardson said Wednesday. "That's great if he ends up being a breeding stallion. ... That's icing on the cake if we get that far."

"(12-20) 06:58 PST Los Angeles (AP) --
A woman mistakenly put her 1-month-old grandson through an X-ray machine at Los Angeles International Airport, authorities said.
A startled security worker noticed the shape of a child on the carry-on baggage screening monitor and immediately pulled him out, the Los Angeles Times reported for a story in Wednesday's editions.
The infant was taken to a local hospital, where doctors determined he did not receive a dangerous dose of radiation.
"This was an innocent mistake by an obviously inexperienced traveler," said Paul Haney, deputy executive director of airports and security for the city's airport agency.
The incident happened early Saturday, airport officials said.
Haney said in 1988, an infant in a car seat went through an X-ray machine at the Los Angeles airport."
The funny part (maybe not SO funny) is that when I first heard this story on Lee Klein (local sports talk radio show) last night, he kept prodding his assistant, who first relayed the story, to provide him with the ethnicity of the grandmother. The assistant took the 5th....but Klein kept insisting, "Just answer yes or no...was she WHITE?"
