[font color=black] Do you know where your shit goes?

For those of you who do not have your own septic system, but are hooked into a sewer system...

Serious question:

Do you know, as you sit here right now, where your shit goes after you flush the toilet?

And I mean specifically, so that if I handed you a map, you could point to a spot on it and say, "My shit goes here!"

And, if you do know, do you know how it gets there? How many other people's shit goes there? And what happens to it there?

[font color=black] Statistics on phone calls, text messages, emails,etc.

[/center]http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_phone_calls_are_made_daily_in_the_US

Question: Hope many on average phones are made a day in US

I estimate about 2 billion calls are made in a day.

http://email.about.com/od/emailtrivia/f/emails_per_day.htm

Question: How Many Emails Are Sent Every Day?

Answer: Statistics, extrapolations and counting by Radicati Group from April 2010 estimate the number of emails sent per day (in 2010) to be around 294 billion.

294 billion messages per day means more than 2.8 million emails are sent every second and some 90 trillion emails are sent per year. Around 90% of these millions and trillions of message are but spam and viruses.

The genuine emails are sent by around 1.9 billion email users.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_messaging

In the United States, text messaging is also popular; as reported by CTIA in December 2009, the 286 million US subscribers sent 152.7 billion text messages per month, for an average of 534 messages per subscriber per month. The Pew Research Center found in May 2010 that 72% of U.S. adult cellphone users send and receive text messages.

In the U.S., SMS is often charged both at the sender and at the destination, but, unlike phone calls, it cannot be rejected or dismissed. The reasons for lower uptake than other countries are varied—many users have unlimited "mobile-to-mobile" minutes, high monthly minute allotments, or unlimited service. Moreover, push to talk services offer the instant connectivity of SMS and are typically unlimited. Furthermore, the integration between competing providers and technologies necessary for cross-network text messaging has only been available recently. Some providers originally charged extra to enable use of text, further reducing its usefulness and appeal. In the third quarter of 2006, at least 12 billion text messages crossed AT&T's network, up almost 15 percent from the preceding quarter.

In the United States, while texting is widely popular among the ages of 13–22 years old, it is increasing among adults and business users as well. The age that a child receives his/her first cell phone has also decreased, making text messaging a very popular way of communication for all ages. The number of texts being sent in the United States has gone up over the years as the price has gone down to an average of $0.10 per text sent and received.

In order to convince more customers to include text messaging plans, some major cellphone providers have recently increased the price to send and receive text messages from $.15 to $.20 per message. This is over $1,300 per megabyte. Many providers offer unlimited plans, which can result in a lower rate per text given sufficient volume.

So, tell me how the NSA manages to listen, read all this information?

[font color=black] McConnell: ‘Absurd’ to ban corporations from having same rights as ‘people’

[/center]Source: Raw Story

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Friday said that he opposed a constitutional amendment to ban corporations from having the same rights as people because the idea was “absurd.”

Speaking to the conservative American Enterprise Institute, McConnell accused President Barack Obama’s administration of using a “culture of intimidation” to stifle free speech.

Following the remarks, the Washington Free Beacon’s Lachlan Markay asked McConnell for his thoughts on a constitutional amendment proposed by Sens. Jon Tester (D-MT) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) to clarify that corporations are not “people” and restore Congress’ ability to limit corporate influence in elections.

“Well you have to give them some points for not hiding it,” McConnell quipped. “They are uncomfortable with corporate free speech obviously.”

GOP Congressman: Abortions Should Be Banned Because Male Fetuses Masturbate
Posted on Jun 18, 2013

[/center]During debate Monday on a House bill that would ban virtually all abortions starting 20 weeks after conception, Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Texas, made what likely amounts to be the most absurd argument ever for why the country should outlaw the medical procedure.

“Watch a sonogram of a 15-week baby, and they have movements that are purposeful,” Burgess said during a late-night House Rules Committee meeting on the Republican bill. “They stroke their face. If they’re a male baby, they may have their hand between their legs. If they feel pleasure, why is it so hard to believe that they could feel pain?”

That’s right. Burgess is suggesting abortions should be banned as early as 15 weeks after fertilization because male fetuses masturbate. And he knows this because—as a former ob-gyn—he’s witnessed it himself (but apparently this is a phenomena he’s seen only in male fetuses, not female ones).

“There is no question in my mind that a baby at 20 weeks after conception can feel pain,” he said. “The fact of the matter is, I argue with the chairman because I thought the date was far too late. We should be setting this at 15 weeks, 16 weeks.” ........................(more)

Complete piece

Many people head to Alaska to visit the snow-capped mountains and awe-inspiring glaciers.

Monday, sitting on a glacier might not have been a bad idea.

A major ridge of high pressure brought intense heat to south-central Alaska with four towns experiencing heat never before felt in their record-keeping history.

* Talkeetna hit 96 degrees (Old record: 91, set three dates, most recently... Sunday)
* Cordova hit 90 (Old record: 89, set July 16, 1995)
* Valdez also hit 90 in the city (Old record: 87 set on back-to-back days of June 25-26 in 1953)
* Seward hit 88 degrees, breaking the old record of 87 set on July 4, 1999.

[font color=black] Gun owners target family event (Stay classy!)

[/center]Advocates are encouraging gun owners to bring their weapons to Open Streets family-oriented events in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

A group of gun owners have set their sights on a series of Twin Cities neighborhood family events for their own gun-toting get-togethers, beginning this weekend.

The gun owners “meet-up” events, in which the promoters suggest guns be carried openly and not just concealed, came as a surprise to some city officials and organizers of the Open Streets neighborhood gatherings.

“I’m shocked and saddened,” said Nancy Homans, policy director for St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman. “It seems like guns isn’t the right kind of activity for this event. We’re not even allowing alcohol. … I’m not sure there’s much of a connection between these two events.”

The Facebook page promoting Open Streets-Open Carry says gun owners will add “their own twist” to the neighborhood events by “encouraging ‘open carry’ for pro-active, positive visibility of law abiding gun owners participating in normal social activity … Like normal people!”

(snip)

In an e-mail to Minneapolis city officials, Shelley Leeson, the gun group’s director, said she was informing them of her group’s plans as a professional courtesy. “I do not find it necessary to seek ‘permission’ or give ‘warnings’ to police about our lawful activities.”

[/center]A fight over 50 cents and a cigarette resulted in a Muskegon woman’s finger being bitten off and spit out in a front yard Monday evening on Southern Avenue.

Danielle Lott, 46, who lives in the 400 block of West Southern where the brawl occurred, said Tuesday all that’s left of her finger is "a nub.”

The finger was bitten off just under the first knuckle.

It was gathered up at the scene and transported, along with Lott, to a local hospital Monday night. But the damage to the digit was too extensive, and it could not be reattached, Lott said.

[font color=black] Well, we can all go on with our lives now. Kim Kardashian's baby's name has been revealed.

"Kaidence Donda West"

Which brings up the topic -- Truly Bad Baby Names

What baby names make you cringe?

I can't stand the super trendy, weirdly spelled ones (Helllooooo, "Kaidence&quot . The worst one, though, IMO, is "Nevaeh" -- "heaven" spelled backwards. Gag. It seems to be popular with fundies, not surprisingly.

Others?

[font color=black] Will the name pass the Walmart Test?


What will the name sound like when you scream it out while looking for them in the aisles of Walmart? I heard a woman screaming "Serenity, Serenity!" The irony was great.

[font color=black] We have a summer intern with the first name of Princess.


My reaction when I heard - Are you serious? She will be going into the navy at the end of the year. Boot camp will probably be interesting.

[font color=black] I went to school with a a girl named Mary Juana.


I heard a story from my best friend's mom who worked with a guy whose last name was Lear. He had twin daughters named Chrystal Chanda Lear and Gay Cava Lear. I bet he thought he was being so clever.

[font color=black] I'm doing data entry of names being gathered


for a ballot referendum here, and I've seen some doozies. The weird spellings kill me because I'm trying to match them up with the voter rolls, and people's printing is horrendous.

The funniest one I've seen was Grey Skythes. Mr. and Mrs. Skythes probably thought they were very clever.

[font color=black] It could have been worse... It could have been Blue Skythes.

[font color=black] SUPERMOON On Sunday! Runnnnnnn!

[/center]Supermoon June 2013: Everything You Need To Know About Perigee Moon This Weekend

One of the biggest celestial events of the year is almost upon us!

Set to peak on Sunday, June 23, the 2013 supermoon is noteworthy not only for the remarkable sight it will present to skywatchers but also because it will be the largest supermoon this year.

Also known as a perigee moon, the event occurs when a full moon lines up with the Earth and the sun at a specific point in its orbit, called the lunar perigee. That's the point at which the moon is nearest to Earth as it traces its elliptical path around our planet.

Since it's closer to us, the moon appears up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than usual. Coined by astrologer Richard Nolle, the term "supermoon" essentially means a bigger and brighter full moon.
