Have you tried this yet?

Do you suppose George Dubbya even *tried* doing a *GOOGLE* Search for those Weapons of Mass Destruction?

This is funny... go to Google.com and type in "Weapons Of Mass Destruction". Click the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button instead of the "Google Search" button, and read the error message carefully.

I know this is old news, but it's new to me and very amusing :)

Friday Five

Well sure... if *everyone else* is doing it, I suppose I should do it too!

1. What were your favorite childhood stories?
I was very fond of all the Oz books, the entire series of "The Great Brain", "Encyclopedia Brown" and "Choose Your Own Adventure" books.

2. What books from your childhood would you like to share with [your] children?
My kids will get them all, I'm sure. I love the interactivity of the Choose Your Own Adventure books!

3. Have you re-read any of those childhood stories and been surprised by anything?
I was suprised by how *thin* they all were! Whn I read them as a kid, I SWEAR they had at least 5000 pages. Now they weigh in at just over 100. They must have been heavily edited. Yeah, that's it.

4. How old were you when you first learned to read?
I was three years old. My older brother (Butch) who was around 13 att the time threw an old coverless comic book at me and told me to shut up and learn how to read (he was tired of having to play with me). That comic book was a tattered copy of Avengers #4, and within a week I could read every word of it.

5. Do you remember the first 'grown-up' book you read? How old were you?
I'm not really sure what counts as a "Grown Up" book... my first no-pictures, not-found-in-the-children's-section book was "MythAdventures" by Robert Aspirin. I was 9.
