I always thought this was a tribute to: Adkai Stevenson: "Do you, Ambassador Zorin, deny that the USSR has placed and is placing medium- and intermediate-range missiles and sites in Cuba? Yes or no? Don’t wait for the translation. Yes or no"

The best I have ever heard was that 75% of statistics are made up on the spot. :)

John_Berger - I was not trying to "spin" it:) I was simply stating that most people who refer or mention the McDonald's case have no idea of the actual facts behind it. In fact, the point of the site that I referred to is that the spin was negative on the suit, depsite the lack of knowledge of...

Brettb You can sue me:)

Hmmmm.. Can you handle a differing opinion? I find that most people who discuss the McDonald's coffee case (know affectionately as the spill heard 'round the world) do not know any of the actually facts of the matter. I would recomend if you are interested in further reading to see...

That is correct. In Michigan, it is not blackmail, it is extortion, a 20-year felony!! To propose accepting money in lieu of reporting a crime is extortion. I don't suggest it. From what Jason_H described, again in Michigan, sounds like a violation of the consumer protection act. Sue Best...

Lowes link is back up. Thanks

You do not need line of sight for a sub. However, it has been suggested, that before you place your sub, you put it in the "prime" listening and then crawl around and see where it sounds best. I tried it (thinking myself crazy) and believe it or not, it became VERY clear what corner the sub...

This is obviously WAY off topic at this point, so I will continue the madness. If a person ever claims to be a lawyer, ask what state bar he is registered with, and for his mailing address. In Michigan we have license numbers (and many other states do as well) which it would be well to ask...

You want to know the BEST part about "Sweetest Day?" It was a holiday "created" by Hallmark, recognized by many states in the Midwest, But NOT IN KANSAS!! So what, you say? Guess where Hallmark's headquarters are??!!:)

I bought my wife a bracelet for the wedding. Of those who ANSWERED:) it would appear that Jewelry is the predominate choice.

This post has me divided. On one hand, I genuinely believe the you should enjoy your job. No, that that every day is as fun as an amusement park, but that you can look forward to it (at least most of the time.) If you HATE your job--get out. You are taking years off your life. For example--I...

Assuming you have an outside antenna, I would recommend an amplifier/pre-amplifier. I currently split to 4 (after the amplifier), and this made a HUGE difference. One of the splits is to HDTV, but not having a tuner, I cannot (yet) tell you of the improvement to HDTV
