Here is a love/romance story about a young man wanting to impress his girlfriend. Chihao Wu was a college student who arranged rolled-up clothes, doused in lamp oil, in a parking lot to spell "Happy Birthday" in Chinese.

Apple has the movie trailer for Hero movie. I have seen this movie a few years ago on crappy VHS tape, but it was cool! I was amazed by some of the scenes and special effects (e.g., millions of arrows).

So, Ant's being lazy.. He found this link, I think it's funny.. For those who know Grifter, this commercial will explain a lot about his car.. For everyone else.. consider the possibilities!!

According to CNET's news.com article and this official press release, Business Software Alliance (BSA) has a ferret as its mascot. You can vote for its name. Oh brother.

Here is an article about how we ALL live dangerously even if you're not aware of the dangers from from eating lunch to hugging your teddy bear. Life is full of perils.

For examples:

• Dust may cause more premature deaths than car accidents, after all.
• There are choking hazards on your every plate and enough cancer-causing chemicals in the most organic of veggies to make hang gliding look safer than enclosing a toddler in a padded room.
• You often hear you are more likely to die in a car accident than in an airplane accident, but we are more afraid of flying. However, you are more likely to be injured walking.
• In almost every category, there are people falling and whacking their head against something. Twelve-thousand Americans die yearly from falls.
• Injuries from crutches, artificial Christmas trees and lawn ornaments... Lawn ornaments cause so many accidents because they classify the mailbox as a lawn ornament and it is people backing up or crashing into them.

  And many more!
