Bush has no Plan B
I think we’ve known this for awhile.
Personally, I was surprised to learn he had a plan at all…
How to Win any Argument
DRINK LIQUOR
Suppose you are at a party and some hotshot intellectual is expounding on
the economy of Peru, a subject you know nothing about. If you’re drinking some
health-fanatic drink like grapefruit juice, you’ll hang back, afraid to display
your ignorance, while the hotshot enthralls your date. But if you drink several
large martinis, you’ll discover you have STRONG VIEWS about the Peruvian economy.
You’ll be a WEALTH of information. You’ll argue forcefully, offering searing
insights and possibly upsetting furniture.People will be impressed. Some may leave the room.
I think I’ve met some of the people that wrote this guide…
What class was that?
Another teacher caught having sex with her students. How come you never heard of this happening when I was in school? Probably had something to do with the fact that most of our teachers were close to retirement…
Anyway, it couldn’t have happened in a more appropriately named town:
CLINTON, S.C. (WLTX, AP) — Authorities say a 23-year-old female middle
school teacher was arrested Wednesday, accused of having sex with five
boys in locations including the school, at a motel, in a park and
behind a restaurant.

Calculating a Monthly Payment
Ever wonder how to calculate a monthly payment without using a spreadsheet software such as MS Excel?
Well below is the formula:
- P = principal, the initial amount of the loan
- I = the annual interest rate (from 1 to 100 percent)
- L = length, the length (in years) of the loan, or at least the length over which the loan is amortized.
The following assumes a typical conventional loan where the interest is compounded monthly. First I will define two more variables to make the calculations easier:
- J = monthly interest in decimal form = I / (12 x 100)
- N = number of months over which loan is amortized = L x 12
Okay now for the big monthly payment (M) formula, it is:
J
M = P x ------------------------
1 - ( 1 + J ) ^ -N
where 1 is the number one (it does not appear too clearly on some browsers)
Pretty complicated huh?
Well I whipped up a little webpage script to do it all for you if you enter in your 3 main variables (Amount, Years financed, and Interest Rate). I wanted it to use for my blackberry, so it is very mobile-focused. (Read as nothing fancy, but it is fast loading)
Thanks goes to Karl for the above formula.

Living Dreams
Last night I had one of the weirdest dreams ever. I dreamed that I had just awoken from a dream about the greatest murder mystery plot ever conceived. In my dream a was making notes of my dream so that I could write the actual book based on it.
I woke up this morning with all details so fresh in my head that I figured I need not write them down. I had convinced myself that this was a rather cool plot, but now? Nothing don’t remember hardly anything. I guess I was trying to tell myself something.
Maybe it had something to do with he fact that we watched Saw III last night…
Did you know?
That the coldest and warmest day on record in North Dakota both happened in the same year?
1936 to be exact.
coldest: -60 degrees F in Parshall on February 15th
warmest: 121 degrees F in Steele on July 6th
Now you know!

No Frogs for You
It’s a rare thing to witness the extinction of an entire class of
animal. We weren’t around to see the dinosaurs disappear, and the dodo
was just one species of bird — it’s not like all birds slowly
disappeared. But according to many conservation scientists, that’s
exactly what amphibians are facing: Frogs and others in the amphibia
class are on their way out unless the conservation community takes
immediate action.
Wow, it’s hard to imagine that my kids or grandkids may never know what a frog is…

Computer Statistic Question
Anyone know or seen where I could find the average number of computers owned by US citizens over their lifetime?
