Children Choking Pediatricians… whatever next?!
Seriously, common sense is missing on two counts for this article. One, for the content, and two for the unfortunate URL. http://news.discovery.com/human/children-choking-pediatricians.html
Spread a little love this Valentine's Day
There is little I can add to this great post by musician and activist Jason Mraz, so I’ll just resort to good old copy/paste and hope that enough of us agree to skip the flowers and chocolates, tell our loved ones what they mean to us and make a difference in a very real way [...]
Funny Forwards for Geeks 1 – What Not to Name Your Website
