    Did you know that lotion is designed to dry out your skin so you buy more of their product over and over. Reason for that is lotion contains alcohol which drys out the skin.

    Scubabud, you have far too much free time on your hands. Are you an albino yet, due to the lack of daylight?

    I live in northern England. I have not seen sunlight or had warm weather since 1976. We are pale blue, we have to be in the sun for 2 months before we even go white!!

    My sister has friends from England and they come and visit once a year for that very same reason. As a matter of fact they will be here in a month or so.

    I currently live under an overpass of a major freeway, and use A/C from the gas station overhead, but I have plenty of room anytime you would like to visit here in Florida and work on your tan. Just let me know in advance and I’ll round up another empty frig box for you to. :)

    I used to love the old winters & hot summers as a child, nowadays it seems all 4 seasons are going into 1. lots more rain.
    I love driving in snow, unfortunately 99% of british drivers can't drive in the snow! They tend to get in the way of me doing pirhouettes in the snow!

    In the New York sewers there are albino aligators, because when people flush their pets down that got too big they breed and after generations they no longer need sight because they are in complete darkness they sense everything by touch and smell...

    Also, Some people that got HIV, were so bitter that they would use needles to get their blood... then theyd put the needles on seats in cinemas across the country. People would sit down, relax, feel a little prick in their butts, find the needle and on the seat in front thered be a little sticker saying "Congrats youve just got HIV!"

    Sorry to burst your bubbles fellas, but Mr. Rogers topic is totally skewed...

    He is not listed under ANY military branch records, and if the nam' story were true with so many kills, you think he would receive a medal for that or at least a proper national salute from his corp. during his funeral.

    Truth is, that just doesn't make sense. Mr. Rogers being a sniper/SEAL/having tatoos = legend. There is no fact to it :(

    Althought it would be cool if he really was one

    I think this good one is that in the 60's some teenagers tripped on acid and stared at the sun for six hours when they came down they were all blind..

    Ive got two more for you....

    1.) There was a teenage babysitter (yes folks thats right, as always high on acid!)... who was left caring for a baby, she called the parents several hours later and told them the turkey was in the oven... they said there was no turkey and rushed home. when they got in the baby was burnt to death inside the oven....toasty.

    2.) Apparntly rattlesnakes like no better place to stay in the winter months than ball pens in kids play areas. Because of the balls it retains some heat, and they go right to the bottom. There have been reported several snakebite deaths in outside 'playpits'..

    More to come!
