New quote of the day:
"I remember walking around with my sword charged up like Link."
~Matthew Kelling, talking about the game Secret of Mana

Disgusting...
"A new report in the August issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine found that preschool children preferred the taste of food in McDonald’s packaging to the taste of the same exact food in unbranded packaging."
"A secondary analysis found that children preferred the tastes of foods and drinks that were thought to be from McDonald’s for four out of five comparisons. Preschoolers with more television sets in their homes and children who ate McDonald’s food more often were more likely to prefer foods and drinks they thought were from McDonald’s, the study concluded."
"The food and beverage industries spend more than $10 billion per year to market to children in the United States,” according to background information in the article." (link)
Instead of spending TEN BILLION dollars a year trying to sell your product, why not use it to provide clean drinking water to the billion people on the earth that don't have access to sanitary water? Why not spend it on bettering the world, instead of bettering your wallet?
The problem with America is that our mentality is "I want more money, and will do anything to get it." That is why God wants us to tithe. Tithing reminds us that it ISN'T all about money, it IS all about giving back to God. If America wanted to, we could literally bring every third world country out of that category, giving them clean water, and enough food to eat, but instead, we are only interested in padding our own pockets.
When was the last time you used your money to spread God's word?

When I saw the name of this site, I literally spit food out of my mouth I was laughing so hard (HEY, chips are lightweight, and they catch a lot of air, and it was a TINY piece!).

The Computer Monster!

Think Jimmy can de-code some of the computer's ramblings?
You can read about how the Computer Monster is really the predecessor to the Cookie Monster at it's Wikipedia site.
