Is marriage good for your health?

Before reading the article at the link below, keep in mind that surveys show that married men live longer than single men. However, those same surveys show that married men are more willing to die.

I can see that .

I'll be damned if I allow those cowards to drown me, in the powers they proudly learned from Alistair Crowley..

Post silly lists .

I'm sure there are still background checks required to purchase in the first place-at least revolvers/pistols. In Michigan for example, you do not need a permit to purchase or own a rifle or shotgun. You do need a permit to purchase a handgun and there will be background checks done. You also need a permit to carry concealed-although absent some form of criminal/mental record the State MUST give you a permit.

It sounds like Arizona is saying as long you already legally own a handgun, it will no longer require additional permits to carry concealed. I would be mildly surprised if this wasn't done in part in reaction to the Krentz murder.

that's what you think

The Arizon statute will not take effect for a few months yet. When it does, it will not require a background check or training to carry a concealed handgun. Federal law does require background checks when a handgun is purchased from a licensed dealer.

Right. No background check for concealed carry. There is still AFAIK a federal (NICS) requirement for background check to purchase. The second and more interesting issue is that Governor Brewer evidently signed a law which exempts guns made and kept in Arizona from any federal regulation, including background checks. This will almost certainly wind up in federal courts.

Many years ago my friend and I set up a detour onto a desolate road into the woods, from a senior citizen community. Big-ass detour sign, flashing barrier, but only had 2 cones so it didn't work very well.

I've been told that smart and clever are very sexy attributes. But seriously, would anyone be getting in line to sleep with Larry King if he wasn't worth, like, a gazillion dollars?

The U.S. and Iraq claimed a major victory against al-Qaida on Monday, saying their forces killed the terror group's two top figures in this country in an air and ground assault on their safehouse near Saddam Hussein's hometown.

Yay .

Our Military is the BEST!!! God bless them all.

NEW YORK - Computers in companies, hospitals and schools around the world got stuck repeatedly rebooting themselves Wednesday after an antivirus program identified a normal Windows file as a virus.

McAfee confirmed that a software update it posted at 9 a.m. Eastern time caused its antivirus program for corporate customers to misidentify a harmless file. It has posted a replacement update for download.

So that's why today we don't have any dragons. Damn! Where was PETA when it was needed most?

Stephen Hawking: Aliens may pose risks The Associated Press

LONDON (AP) - British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking says aliens are out there, but it could be too dangerous for humans to interact with extraterrestrial life.

Hawking claims in a new documentary that intelligent alien lifeforms almost certainly exist, but warns that communicating with them could be "too risky."

The 68-year-old scientist says a visit by extraterrestrials to Earth would be like Christopher Columbus arriving in the Americas, "which didn't turn out very well for the Native Americans."

He speculates most extraterrestrial life will be similar to microbes, or small animals - but adds advanced lifeforms may be "nomads, looking to conquer and colonize."

How can we possibly be so arrogant to believe that we are the only life forms?

Most scientists don't think we are. But many do think (and I agree) that so-called "intelligent," technologically advanced civilizations are very rare, for a number of reasons. There doesn't seem to have been anything inevitable about human evolution on Earth, although it is possible that had there been no humans something else equally intelligent (or unintelligent!) might have developed. Given that humans haven't had high technology for very long, I think it's likely that other civilizations we might someday make contact with will be far more advanced.

And I must say that if I were an extraterrestrial watching Earth, I'd have no particular desire to reveal myself and my society to humans based on human behavior. In many ways, humanity is an interesting civilization, but not one I'd want to actually contact.

Human Civilization has been around for a mere blip compared to the eons that the universe and its trillions of stars have been developing. If they're out there, they'll likely to be far more advanced and would look at us as we watch an ant farm. Awwww, how cute; look at them working. (Of course, there are also just as many who'd be far less advanced.) But to assume that Earth would be an ideal planet for invaders would also assume that the Earth would be an ideal environment for ETs. It surely might not be.

Speak for yourself, Gomer .

How can you call anyone who doesn't believe that arrogant when it hasn't been proven?

I'm kind of in a hurry and didn't read the whole story, BUT there's yet another good reason for me to go to Vegas.
