I said sit

I'm testing this crazy thing out. Does it work? Well, I'm playing in a band called Extreme Caution and they rock. I love it.

I finally got my site back up. And just in time. The world is falling apart. A German telecommunications company is developing the first mobile phone that will alert users when their breath is bad or if they are giving off offensive smells, A 67-year-old woman was killed when a three-meter tall metal crucifix fell on her head, A Malaysian man shot and killed his wife after he mistook her for a monkey picking fruit in a tree behind their house (I guess she needed a shave), fear of a ghost who knocks on doors and wafts the scent of aftershave lotion along corridors has forced a prestigious college for statisticians in the Indian capital to close, trains on a busy German route were delayed for four hours after a train driver hit the emergency brake fearing a man next to the tracks was trying to kill himself -- but he was only picking blackberries, a group of Serbian actors filming a bank robbery scene played their parts so well that police mistook them for the real thing and hauled them off to a police station, an outraged father of a seventh-grader says an assistant principal duct-taped his son's pants to keep them from sagging then sent him back to class(I have something to say to the father. Take $1 to goodwill and buy the dumbass a belt, dumbass), and a French urban climber who calls himself "Spider-Man" scaled a 59-story Paris office building Wednesday with his bare hands and without using any ropes. Can you believe some of the strange things happening in the world. Crazy stuff.


Cat Then

Cat now

Homeland Security officials said Yusuf Islam — formerly known as singer Cat Stevens — will be deported Wednesday after being denied entry to the U.S. Stevens had recently been placed on a government "no-fly" list after U.S. authorities received information indicating associations with potential terrorists. Can you believe this? Wait a minute. Cat Stevens? Who cares???

Revisiting the child-themed subject matter of 2002's "No!," They Might Be Giants are planning a few new projects aimed at youngsters. These people are nuts.
