The Caribbean Monk Seal is extinct. After five years of futile efforts to find or confirm sightings of any Caribbean monk seals — even just one — the U.S. government on Friday announced that the species is officially extinct and the only seal to vanish due to human causes. "Caribbean monk seals were first discovered during Columbus’s second voyage in 1494, when eight seals were killed for meat," the fisheries service noted. "Following European colonization from the 1700s to 1900s, the seals were exploited intensively for their blubber, and to a lesser extent for food, scientific study and zoological collection. Blubber was processed into oil and used for lubrication, co…

I know many of you don't watch tv....or follow the horrible news...but sometimes you gotta stay in touch and for the past few years I have been paying attention to Tim and what he had to say politically or what answers he got from politicians on his show "Meet the Press". It struck me so tragically on Friday went I heard it briefly on the news...and thought I was hearing things due to I was napping. I got up later to hear that I was not hearing things and that it tragically was true. I would like to say that Tim was the best of the best of news reporters/interviewers and it is going to be tough for the rest of this Election year not to have him cover the blow by blow…

NEW YORK(AP) A man who was carrying a rusted pirate-style sword through Macy's flagship store in Manhattan is facing charges of criminal possession of a weapon. Police say 29-year-old Lawrence Jackson was brandishing the curved sword while visiting Macy's Herald Square store Sunday with his girlfriend. He told police he was carrying the sword because he is a member of a kickball team whose players often wear pirate-themed costumes. He maintains he was on his way to a game when he was arrested.

So I went in to Wally World the other day seeking something to watch and found the movie Elizabeth with Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush. Had not seen it before, it looked intresting and it was five dollars. So I take it up to the counter to check out and the Lady cards me. The movie is rated R. I told her I was old enough to buy the movie that I was 34 and she glared at me and said she HAD to see my ID, otherwise I was not taking it home. So I showed her my ID to which she studies it and glances up at me and finally hands it back and rings it up. But she still acted like I had given her a false ID. Im not sure if I should have been flattered or insulted .

I had read that Disney plans to take out the part on the ride where the caterpillar smokes from the hookah. Is this really true? They made the movie based off the book and it shows the caterpillar doing that. All these years later why would they decide to remove it? That just would be ridiculous if this is true.

I bought an AT&T DECT 6.0 with dual cordless phones and a digital answering system built in. I have had bad experience with AT&T services before but thought they may have a descent product. NOW after only a few months the battery has died and guess what I cannot find a replacement battery. I have tried Radio Shack and other various stores. I even went to an AT&T Store and they don't sell it either. I contacted the AT&T customer service online and they finally emailed me back telling to do an online google search for the battery because they don't carry it. That basically it was my problem and that wished me well on the search. I spent almost…

Ahoy: Just back from Pyrate Con, it was first rate all around. However, what is not first rate is that some merchant in New Orleans had staff that cloned my credit card and started a charge fest. This cloning of my card has NOTHING to do with Pyrate Con or any of the vendor's there. But, it did happen at a location in New Orleans. You may want to check your credit card expenditures to make sure this didn't happen to you as well. It is a cloned card instead of a simple number theft as the card was reported as being swiped at other locations around La shortly after I left the state, which isn't possible owing to my still having the card, i.e. it was cloned. Fortunat…
