I read that yesterday. It must have been so scary and lonely.

He should write a book about his experience.

There is an excellent french movie about this:

The entire book was written by Bauby blinking his left eyelid, which took ten months (four hours a day).

I want to read it.

The movie is good, Mish. Its in french, but has english subtitles. Rent it w/your lady. Its a thinking movie and will stimulate discussion.

For the first time in Gallup's annual Honesty and Ethics of Professions poll, a majority of Americans -- 55% -- say the honesty and ethical standards of "members of Congress" are low or very low -- slightly worse than "senators," whose ethics are rated low by 49%. By contrast, 83% of Americans say nurses have either very high or high ethical standards, positioning them at the top of Gallup's 2009 ranking of various professions.

Oh my god, there are sick people in the world.

"A 2-year-old Brazilian boy has as many as 50 metal sewing needles inside his body and a doctor treating the boy said Wednesday they were apparently stuck there one by one."

Looks like that shit came back and bit him in the ass.

Alleged, though?

Is that confirmed or not, then?

[Mish]

Just disgusting

I'm not reading that, Vash.

Mish, I saw the headline for that too. If it makes you feel better, we couldn't take any photos of the Kilmore/Kinglake bushfires. In fact, we didn't even think of it until we were well away, it was so shocking.

Not really "interesting" but brought upon my attention by one of my favorite authors who's daughter goes to school with this little girl. Its hard to understand things like this. My heart hurts for this little girl.

RIP, Mr Spaghetti-O's

Pour a can of SpaghettiOs out for its creator Donald Goerke who passed away on Sunday from heart failure. Donald was 83. And now you can let out an "UH OH" if you haven't already.

Donald was not only responsible for creating the iconic blood cell soup enjoyed by chirruns, drunks and college students everywhere, but he also helped produce Campbell's Chunky Soup. Donald retired from Campbell in 1990 after devoting 35 years to the company.

Once I finish eating my first dinner of cupcakes in honor of STAINS, I will eat a second dinner of SpaghettiOs casserole in honor of Donny G. It's going to be a night.
