About 1.5 million alligators live in Florida, and 287 attacks against humans have been recorded in the past 52 years. A full-grown horse was attacked by an alligator and dragged into a pond in Titusville; and a two year old girl is Florida’s 2nd gator fatality this year.

Cats
I’m interested in learning how you feel about this:
A company called Transgenic Pets is attempting to create genetically modified cats. These cats, “will be like any other cats except they will no longer have the protein that causes an allergic reaction in human beings.”

Scientist Says Mind Continues After Brain Dies
A British scientist studying heart attack patients says he is finding evidence that suggests that consciousness may continue after the brain has stopped functioning and a patient is clinically dead.
The research, presented to scientists last week at the California Institute of Technology, resurrects the debate over whether there is life after death and whether there is such a thing as the human soul.

FSU Joke
A man walks into a store and goes straight to the counter.
“I would like a garnet hat, a gold shirt, garnet pants, and some gold shoes.”
The clerk looked at the man and said, “Are you a Florida State fan?”
“I sure am!” replied the man. “Go ‘Noles!”
“I thought so,” said the man behind the counter.
“Ha! It was the color combination, wasn’t it?” asked the fan.

dontcha think?
How embarrassing! If you’re on your way to get a hooker, and you run into your wife turning tricks, what do you do? Isn’t that from an Alanis Morissette song?

Last Year
A lot has changed since last year. I remember talking to my dad about a year ago. He was telling me that he thought sometimes God just likes to pull the rug out from under you. You’re walking along, living your life, thinking you finally have a clue … thinking that you know something … thinking that things are starting to make sense … and then, WHAM! You wake up and you’re alone in your head and you realize that you don’t know anything and nothing makes sense and you don’t have a clue and you have no idea what’s happening and suddenly everything is completely different. I think that, too. It seems like every year on my birthday (or nearabouts) I stop for a second and recognize that I know nothing.

So. I have the sinking feeling that nobody even knows this page exists. I’ve tried to promote it. I really have. But I never get any response. Does anyone ever visit this page? Do you download songs? Do you think it’s a nifty idea?
If I don’t hear anything from anyone in the next few days, I’m just going to stop. I’m not trying to be a whiner or anything, but it’s a lot of work if there are actually never any visitors. Let me know.
