    uh are you on crack?

    Roasting meats:

    Internal temp of a chicken: 160 or so.

    Medium Rare: 120

    Medium Well - 145

    If you eat chicken that's only been internally heated to 85 degrees you'll get really really sick.

    My complaint about IE 6 and 7 is that even though I have my IE set to open up a blank browser page, it takes me 15-20 seconds to open up a new window or a new tab (in ie7) Which is completely silly, opening up a new blank tab should be near instantaneous.

    It's not at all reasonable. Frankly, there is no reason that the borders should be checking laptops. Why should they be allowed to withhold any media I have on me, be it paper or a laptop. If they want to make sure it's a laptop and not a fake bomb, thats one thing. But the contents of the laptop should be of no concern to them.

    As long as that Philosophy class covers all the world religions, and their weird ideas on how the world was created.
    God made the heavens and earth 6000 years ago is not any more special an idea as the Ancient Greek, or Native American beliefs.

    It's too bad somone isn't suing one of those School districts to include the teaching of how Cronos made the world, or how the Giant Spaghetti Monster made the world.
