Comment: have you all heard about a new hacker that uses the following in Yahoo? **CHECK THIS OUT** www.yahoo.au.tu and when the person clicks on the link, it steals all of their photos and opens their address book on IM, and sends the message to all of the people in there?

Well, there might be a link here. At Kennedy, they have gators EVERYWHERE. So maybe someone took that bit of info to... oh heck, I tried...

I would have to be pretty damn hungry (and alone) before I would consider eating my shoes.

Comment: Upon discussing having more children and my husband's desire for a boy, he mentioned that on more than one occasion he had heard that douching with apple cider vinegar increases a couple's chances for conceiving a boy. This sounds like nothing but an old wive's tale to me, but he swears up and down he's heard it from a number of legitimate sources. Do you have any info?

I really want to know what they consider to be a legitimate source.

How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby, Dr. Landrum B. Shettles, MD, and David M. Rorvik, 1984 edition. The good doctor Shettlessays that acid Ph is detrimental to sperm with Y chromosomes, so douching with a vinegar-water mixture before intercourse will favor a girl. Shettles no longer recommends this in later editions of the book. There does not appear to be any substantiation of it elsewhere.

Comment: There are 2 rumors I'd like to clear up.
1. Is it true that if you have a manual car and ride close to the back of a semi on the interstate that you can throw the car into neutral and the semi will "carry" the car along?
2. Is it true that a boy put a 8 ball (from a pool game) into his mouth and had to get his jaw broken to get it out. It's said that you can get a pool ball into your mouth but need to break your jaw to get it back out.

1, Not entirely as stupid as it sounds, getting behind a semi will give you a speed boost due to the reduction in air resistance. Nowhere near enough to coast in neutral though.
2, One guy got three in not sure if that's the record but it's in ripleys believe it or not. Wouldn't need to break the jaw dislocation would do, either that or try to swallow and pass it out the other side.

I think I'll choose the dislocation/breaking of the jaw, thanks.
