My wife just got a link sent to her by a fellow teacher that points to a site that shows visually what a trillion dollars and two cents would look like if you put it all in one place. Check it out:
What does one TRILLION dollars look like?
But be careful, DO NOT CLICK ON THE SITE. Just use your scroll bars to move around on it, because it will throw one of the more obnoxious ads evah in your face just when you least expect it.
Oh, I was only kidding about the two cents part.
A California Condor was apparently ill (with suspected lead poisoning) so it was brought in for treatment. It was then discovered that it had been shot some time earlier .
Unable to eat on its own, the condor was under intensive care at the Los Angeles Zoo and its prognosis was guarded, said Susie Kasielke, curator of birds.
X-rays taken at the zoo turned up shotgun pellets embedded in its flesh, she said. Those wounds had healed.
It could not be determined if the pellets were lead or steel, but the poisoning was most likely caused by the bird ingesting spent lead ammunition in carcasses of animals that had been shot by hunters, Kasielke said.

Dear President Obama,
Congratulations on passing the stimulus package! I hope that the stimulus package will help the economy get back on track.
One thing that could help is to eliminate some of the approximately five billion dollars a day that we waste as a world economy with closed source, proprietary software.
How do I arrive at that figure?…
… cool! Oh, but wait, it’s all Flash Multimedia stuff and you have to install extra plugins and that doens’t really work that well (their servers may be jammed).
OK, NASA is going to eventually have Space Satellites in 3D. Click here to check it out, and let me know if it starts working properly.
The survey site burst open releasing all the data into …. wherever. So please go do it again. Scicurious has a more robust survey site that won’t break. It might not feel as natural but it won’t break.
Actually, if you took the survey and were able to finish, then you can relax, have a smoke, take a nap, whatever, and you don’t need to do it gain. If, however, you were unable to finish last time, you can now go and try again.
Sort of techno jazz fusion. And yes, there really is going to be a Jaunty Jackelope. Whcih, I think, is the first non-real animal to use for an Ubuntu release.
