John Kerry, a 6-foot-4-inch Democrat, poked fun on Monday at George W. Bush, the 5-foot-11-inch Republican president for reportedly insisting that podiums be set far apart to offset his opponent's five-inch height advantage. -- Oh, give me a break. We could go further with that, you know. We could do the debates in a forest and make them both stand next to trees so that Bush looks smart in comparison and Kerry looks perky. (I'm rooting for Kerry, but still, I can tease. ;))

Unfortunate Whale Speared by Cruise Ship -- "This is the first ship strike (on a whale) that I'm aware of in the past year," said Williams. What, you mean this happens all the time?! Sheesh. (And don't look at the picture if you like animals, because awwwwwww, poor thing.)

Mt. St. Helens is about to erupt. California had an earthquake. An asteroid made its closest pass to Earth in 651 years. Four hurricanes in six weeks, and hurricane season ain't over yet. North Korea has nuclear weapons as a deterrent against war. Yeah, okay. -- This planet's starting to creep me the fuck out, and I'd like to move now. Or at least, have ourselves an apocalypse and get it over with already. Sheesh.

EDIT: I just noticed I've got little pen marks all over my thumb and spent ten minutes trying to figure out how the hell they got there, including a very realistically freaked-out stint of, "Oh my God, ghosts are writing on me in my sleep!" Then I looked down at my mouse right now and I've been using it right next to an open ink pen. Obviously, turning a year older hasn't made me smarter, but has made me more suspicious of the dark forces in the universe.

Last time an asteroid came close, we got a news story on how Aussie bueracrats are making it tough for the scientist guys to establish a decent telescope.

So if a monster rock hits the Southern hemisphere and fries most of humanity, we can blame Australia.

They're not even a real country anyways.

I thought it was Canadia that wasn't a real country. Ah well. Though I suppose Australia's sort of like Canadia SOUTH! Plus it's a continent, so it's got that going for it.
