Water Leak Problem
Somebody sent this to me in an email, so I do not know where this story/video came from to give credit where credit is due.
------------------------------
Read first then watch video.
------------------------------
Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a doubt that the bills weren't representative of their actual usage, and no matter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued.
Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems: first the water meter, then outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes,
faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc --all to no avail. One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water running downstairs.
He finally tore himself from his sick bed to investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of such high water bills. Apparently this was happening all day long when they were not at home.
Knowing that few would believe him, he taped a segment of the 'problem' for posterity-- see attached video. It is only 3 minutes long.

Freezing Fog
Here's something you don't see every day. Freezing fog? I've never even heard of it.

I did do a quick wikipedia searh and found that freezing fog "occurs when liquid fog droplets freeze to surfaces, forming white rime ice. This is very common on mountaintops which are exposed to low cloud. It is equivalent to freezing rain, and essentially the same as the ice that forms inside a freezer which is not of the "frostless" or "frost-free" type.

Mac vs. PC Compilation
Here is a compilation of the Mac versus PC commercials. I have to say that after watching these that Microsoft is pale in comparison to the amount of FUD that Apple spreads.
A small glimpse into the reality:

Spider on Drugs
apeman888 writes, "In the 1960s, Dr. Peter Witt gave drugs to spiders and observed their effects on web building. This short film about the results of the experiment was created by First Church Of Christ, Filmmaker."
Subway Hero Wesley Autrey
This man risked his own life by jumping onto the tracks of a New York City subway to save the life of a stranger. Truly remarkable, to say the absolutely least. Here is his interview with David Letterman.
