She looks way better than that. I had no idea that picture was of the same person.

From the way she's standing in the pic, I'm thinking maybe she's never worn high heels. While strung out. Or something.

And not even correctly. Last time I read some history, they weren't sending christians to the camps.

Apparently your history book neglected to mention that in the early years of Nazi Germany, before Hitler made a pact with the Vatican, they sent many thousands of Catholics to the camps.

What's the consensus on eggs being bad for you. I've been on a modified Atkins (its cheaper than getting my suits altered each winter) for about two months and I've lost a pile of weight, but I'm eating eggs every third morning, and the goddamned deli where I get them doesn't do egg whites or Egg Beaters, so I'm eating yolks. Is the jury still out on whether egg yolks are bad for you?

Three or four eggs a week is fine. I wouldn't want to do any more than that, though.

Woman dies while watching Mel Gibson's violent pic - http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Central/0...eut/index.html

From an SF chron columnist:

"As to other cultural events, I attended a showing of Mel Gibson's new movie this week, but feel unqualified to review it because I drank a large cup of coffee before the screening and therefore was in the ladies' room when Jesus' arm was getting pulled out of its socket. Darn, I always miss the good stuff."

I hear the Passion videogame sales to wingnut children are going to blow all of the M-rated games out of the water as mere cartoonish violence compared to Gibson's snuff-film inspired good stuff.

I'm looking forward to his next film on the Spanish Inquisition because I bet even that couldn't get an NC-17 out of the ratings board, but God forbid if we see a mammary gland.

Your point is?

She got caught wearing the same (ugly) dress that Britney wore a few weeks ago. The horror.

Here's the Britney photo for comparison purposes:



I don't like the dress on either one of them, but I think that it is possible that I would not like the dress on anyone...

Comparing those two pics, I like Britney's better.

Britney looks a little Pam Anderson-y in the face and hair in that pic. I've never seen that similarity before.

Not to contradict ncs, but I forgot to post this this morning re: egg consumption & cholesterol. From Harvard School of Public Health website (http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/fats.html)

Dietary Cholesterol and Eggs

While it is well known that high blood cholesterol levels are associated with an increased risk for heart disease, scientific studies have shown that there is only a weak relationship between the amount of cholesterol a person consumes and their blood cholesterol levels or risk for heart disease. In a study of over 80,000 female nurses, Harvard researchers actually found that increasing cholesterol intake by 200 mg for every 1000 calories in the diet (about an egg a day) did not appreciably increase the risk for heart disease.

Eggs

Long vilified by well-meaning doctors and scientists for their high cholesterol content, eggs are now making a bit of a comeback. Recent research by Harvard investigators has shown that moderate egg consumption--up to one a day--does not increase heart disease risk in healthy individuals. While it's true that egg yolks have a lot of cholesterol--and, therefore may slightly affect blood cholesterol levels--eggs also contain nutrients that may help lower the risk for heart disease, including protein, vitamins B12 and D, riboflavin, and folate.

So, when eaten in moderation, eggs can be part of a healthy diet. People with diabetes, though, should probably limit themselves to no more than two or three eggs a week, as the Nurses' Health Study found that for such individuals, an egg a day might increase the risk for heart disease. Similarly, people who have difficulty controlling their blood cholesterol may also want to be cautious about eating egg yolks and choose foods made with egg whites instead.

Site has a bunch of interesting/useful stuff.

It looks like the stretched the picture from side to side (made it wider while keeping it the same height) -- her head looks rounder, her shoulders look broader, etc. And it makes her eyes look longer and narrower.

She has bad implants. Not as bad as Chritina Aguilara's.

She also looks like she has huge thighs. I think the pic has been digitally altered.

I just saw the "what if?" nike ad with Lance boxing, Vick playing hockey, the Unit bowling, etc. Fucking awesome.

Since when have I had to have a point? Sometimes I am simply stream-of-conciousness gibberish a la Paigow, except for my sentences are in commonly understood English, my spelling is impeccable, and there are no indications of advancing Jacob-Kreutzfeld disease.

It's not easy to tell you this, but I think the first symptom of Kreuzfeld-Jakob disease is reversing the names.
