'The one guy, Thomas, didn't lose his manhood, 'but the doctor I talked to said he won't be using it the way he used to,'

If he finds someone who plays the flute, he can learn how to finger it so he doesn't piss all over himself.

Again.

Those guys should go on a circuit - willingly or otherwise - to speak against rape. I think it could be effective, comparable to the Marlboro Man's (the one with jaw cancer) anti-cigarette campaign.

Bat tries to hitch a ride to the moon. And apparently there was a "rodent" doing the same thing at the same time.

I know it almost certainly died, but I prefer to think the little wannabe astrobat made it and is winging around in near-zero gravity right now.

"The rodent was last seen clinging on the foam of the external tank of the space shuttle"

and then

"The crew of the Discovery safely docked at the International Space Station on Tuesday. It was unclear whether its stowaway was still clinging to the shuttle."

Stupid tv reporter. How can you get a job reporting technology news about NASA if you don't understand the the external tank is jettisoned during launch? It's pretty basic knowledge.

Maybe they meant it was unclear whether its carcass was still fused to the tank that was now floating in the ocean somewhere...

It's unclear.

Flammable Water Found In Ft. Lupton Home

Quote:

A Fort Lupton, Colorado couple says they have so much natural gas in their water they can light it on fire.

On Friday Jesse and Amee Ellsworth met with energy companies to try and solve the problem.

The Ellsworths say the gas has been leaking into their water well from a nearby gas well for the last six months. They say the gas companies are working on a well water treatment system, possibly for the entire community, but that any solution will take time.

Aimee Ellsworth says their only clue that something was wrong was the pressure of the water.

"It crashed, made noises. I thought this isn't normal."

She says tests found explosive levels of the gas in her basement, bathroom and by her water well.

"I'm jittery all the time" says Ellsworth.

Her home is located in a rural area within a half mile of eight natural gas wells.

The Colorado Oil and Gas Commission leaders say it's tried to find the origin of the leak. Director Dale Neslin says "We've looked at well compilation reports, taken gas samples to look for a match, done pressure testing and we've not been able to find the well that appears to be causing the problem."

The Ellsworths say they approached Noble Energy and Anadarko Petroleum - the two companies that operate the nearby wells - and begged for help. They say the companies initially refused to do anything. But, at the urging of the Oil and Gas Commission, they have now agreed to put in a water treatment system at the home.

Since the gas comes right out of the ground, instead of through a gas pipe, it doesn't have the scent added, and it's odorless!

No. No matches. Really, it's a very bad idea.

Why complain? Water is cheap - gas is expensive.
