Plane Loses Wing… What Caused the Crash?
It’s a tragic story, but the wording is funny.
MADRID, Spain (AP) — Nine skydivers leapt from a plane in eastern Spain on Friday when the aircraft lost a wing and plunged to earth, killing the pilot and one passenger, according to the country’s Interior Ministry.
Well….

Kuwait FastFax
I was browsing the Safat RSS feed that I have on my iGoogle main page, and came across a link from “Doesn’t play well with others.” It contains a link to the gomideast site, specially the FastFax page on Kuwait. It does seem fairly accurate. I have e-mailed the site to have them update the [...]
Marine Discharged for Handing Out “Christian Coins”
The US military are NOT missionaries. This marine had the audacity to hand out Christian coins in an Islamic society. From a security point of view, this is a horrible idea and could provoke violence in the area. From a former Christian point of view, I do admire what he was trying to do. Ministering [...]

Roadway Observations (And Responses!)
So many stupid things happen on the roads around here. These are some of my observations, reactions, and suggestions:

My lights are brighter than yours. [...]
Wii Fit Works!
Ouchies! For anyone who is doubting this device, it WORKS! I have noticed such a huge improvement in the past 3 days alone. The game even asked me if I noticed a difference in my abs. I guess it is tracking which exercises I do ;) The wonderful thing is you get to choose your [...]

I have made some modifications to the 2 sidebars on this site. I love the power of WordPress when it comes to adding and removing widgets, provided your template supports it. Changes are as follows:
Sample Briefing
This is one of the recent briefings I sent out to some of our staff. I have removed portions of it due to names and other specifics, but the general idea is there. I try to be professional and courteous while still having a little bit of humor when possible to help keep people loose. [...]
