The wild web roundup

After my success at the gym this morning, I've spend too much time poking around the internet.

First, can someone tell me what Quicksilver does? I know it's requires a Mac and is very popular. What does it do? How would I use it? Would I enjoy it? By the way, I'm watching Clean House. A girl opens the dishwasher that's out in the yard sale and says, "can we get a bin because our dishes are still in the dishwasher?" I'm laughing so hard there are tears in my eyes.

• NeoPets Bouncing Game where you can bounce little animals on a see-saw so they get their yummy donut fruit and dodge poo. It doesn't look like poo though. There's sound but it otherwise safe for work.


• Causes of death are linked to weight. Skinny people are more likely to die from Alzheimer's, Parkinsons and Lung Disease while people who are overweight are more likely to diet from cancer and diabetes. Fascinating.


• The American Psychiatric Association has endorsed medical marijuana. Party.


• What we learn from the dying is an important article that I just can't read while I watch Clean House. Sorry. Let me know what you think.


• Delta and Northwest to merge? I am so screwed. Sorry, I really don't need anything that's going to make it more expensive to fly to Cincinnati. I know that's the counterintuitive reaction, it seems like this should lower prices. But over 20 years of living in Cincinnati has taught me the dangers of living in a hub city. While I have an expectation of dread, I'm reasonably hopeful that if this happens, good things will come of it.


• Lead wasn't enough, now toys have GHB too. If you don't know, GHB is the ingredient in the date-rape drug. Obviously, not child friendly. I'm trying to think about a joke about China, drugs, and possibly the olympics. I just couldn't make it happen.


• Kelly click here or How to save the world by sleeping.


• Google Sketchup info. I've always wanted to make know how to use that. Ahh, Google.


• This story might be for you, but I'm not looking. That's pretty true really. I don't care about the other things people do.


• Qwest hates Macs, Qwest is stupid. I'm linking to the Digg Page for this one. The comments are really funnier than the story.


• The narrowest home in the world. I'm linking to this partly for the pics of the home, but also, the name of the city. Madre de Deus loosely translated means "Mother of God". It's funny to me. What can I say.
