Why even Australia has been swept up with a <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/nm/20040810/od_uk_nm/oukoe_life_australia_cows">doping scandal</a>. As the headline says "its udderly ridiculous." It almost sounds a little perverted, performing "suspicious acts" on one of his cows' udder. <br…

As a academic exercise <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/08/03/1091476448685.html?oneclick=true">this</a> is very interesting. But who are they trying to placate?<br />n<br />n<i>Australia's dingoes probably evolved from a very small group of pets brought by South-East Asian settlers, researchers reported today.</i><br />n<br />nI will point out the word "pet" in this statement.<br />n<br />npet: a domesticated animal kept for pleasure…

I am no expert in the legal system and the following case isn't in the US but it still is wrong.<br />n<br />n<a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/cpress/boys_in_cages">Boys caged and beaten by parents say they're angry over 9-month jail term</a><br />n<br />nWhat is really bad about this one is the judge said that the abuse over 13 years was…

The rain started falling about 6 and has been pouring since. I am smart enough to get in out of the rain and since I caught up on my paperwork yesterday was looking around and come across this at <a href="http://j-walkblog.com/blog/index/P15725/">J-Walk Blog</a><br />n<br />n<a href="http://watleyreview.com/2004/062904-3.html">Mathematicians Stunned when Computer Reaches Final Digit of Pi </a><br />n<br…

Congratulations to <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/06/21/build/nation/15-privaterocket.inc">Mike Melvill</a>.

Here's hoping <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/06/20/build/nation/53-private-space-flight.inc">they manage this feat</a>.
