Wish I could... options are really limited now though, as flights are really booked up & expensive! I don't think it's a possibility to change my flight, as I took the one with all the restrictions. I plan to get some shopping done that evening anyhow. And I took the slow ferry last year... so no worries. C-ya in Lysebotn :) ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

Hey I'll be arriving in Norway (SVG) on June 16th at 4:45PM this summer - Just wondering if there's anyone out there who is arriving around this time and wouldn't mind splitting the cab/hotel to/in stavanger the night... Let me know

MeOw!!! Hell yeah! Lets go! ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

chirp-chirp Looks like I'm coming back... ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

Congrats Kim!!! That is really frickin' awesome!!

Because some people are hard-headed & think they can get away with it... there's no talking sense into them; only an injury can 'wake' them up to reality... ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

uh.. I know another.... how about crazydave44 & jennejenn?!?!? for 6 months now... wedding is in end of may-june when jennejenn gives her PhD thesis defense...

Hell yeah! that website kicks a$$. Nice work Douggs ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

hehehe... ouch. Yeah I expect we'll get a few more souveniers tonight ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

Hey girl - only speaking the truth. Now get to bed. Bad kitty!! Jen ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

oh no... that's not amanda! yuck! how could you think that?!? Duh is SOOO much hotter!!!

Hey I had to pee!!!! no fair!!! hehehehe Hey aren't you supposed to be taking a cat nap to recharge for tonight???!?! ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

Hell yeah I was there... and I was on stage 1st!!!! ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

Hey where's the pix of US on stage????? ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

OH YEAH!!! Austin here we come!!!! Dropkick kicks a$$!!!

Sorry I'll be in Berlin for work... Hope it's fun

YAY!!! Way to go Matt! Keep on gettin' better... we all want you around! Jen

ditto... hope you're doing alright Matt... get well soon!! Jen ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

Brit is a whole ton of fun!

Why don't you just upgrade to crystal meth? I heard it works a lot faster... sorry.. I'm just being silly ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

That was SO frickin' fun!!! The video kicks a$$!! Nice work & many, many thanks again! Jen

There may not be a correlation between height & kindness, but science has recently shown another interesting relationship... BTW -burning objects sux... esp. when they are really nice, and in your neighborhood Jen ...sorry I'm a geek, what can I say http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/01/24/bat.brains.ap/index.html When it comes to bats, size matters "It turns out size does matter," said Syracuse University biologist Scott Pitnick. For some male bats, sexual prowess comes with a price -- smaller brains. A research team led by Syracuse University biologist Scott Pitnick found that in bat species where the females are promiscuous, the males boasting the largest testicles also had the smallest brains. Conversely, where the females were faithful, the males had smaller testes and larger brains. "It turns out size does matter," said Pitnick, whose findings were published in December in "Proceedings of the Royal Society: Biological Science," an online journal. The study offers evidence that males -- at least in some species -- make an evolutionary trade-off between intelligence and sexual prowess, said David Hoskens, a biologist at the Center for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter in England and a leading authority on bats' mating behavior. "Bats invest an enormous amount in testis, and the investment has to come from somewhere. There are no free lunches," said Hoskens, who did not participate in the study. The relationship between the breeding system and relative brain size has received little investigation, said Pitnick, who teaches evolution and population biology and researches topics such as sexual selection and sexual conflict. Bats are the second largest group of mammals (behind rodents) with about 1,000 known species. Because of their exceptional navigational and flying abilities, bats have been the subject of countless studies, providing Pitnick and his colleagues -- Kate Jones of Columbia University and Gerald Wilkinson of the University of Maryland -- with a bounty of data without having to slink off into caves. Pitnick's team looked at 334 species of bats and found a convincing contrast in testes size. In species with monogamous females, males had testes starting at 0.11 percent of their body weight and ranging up to 1.4 percent. But in species where the females had a large number of mates, Pitnick found testes ranged from 0.6 percent to 8.5 percent of the males' mass (in the Rafinesque's big-eared bat). "If female bats mate with more than one male, a sperm competition begins," Pitnick said. "The male who ejaculates the greatest number of sperm wins the game, and hence many bats have evolved outrageously big testes." Promiscuity is known to make a difference in testicle size in some other mammals. For example, chimpanzees are promiscuous and have testicles that are many times larger than those of gorillas, in which a single dominant male has exclusive access to a harem of females. Large brains, meanwhile, are metabolically costly to develop and maintain. Pitnick's research suggested that in those bat species with promiscuous females, the male's body used more of its energy to enhance the testes -- giving it the greater adaptive advantage -- and lacked the energy it needed to further develop the brain. The study found that in more monogamous species, the average male brain size was about 2.6 percent of body weight, while in promiscuous species, the average size dipped to 1.9 percent. ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

Lieutenant McBush w/my full name... Otherwise I'm Furry O'Squirrely!! Yeah! ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

Good lord--- that's some 'junk in the trunk' ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

Ren-Hey, we're doing great down here... enjoying the warm weather. Up to the usual business of course. How are you? Ugh... yeah, I had a similar experience from a water-skiing fall. Ouch!!! Oh and Tom, I'll have to see the vid from you someday, somewhere... I don't have cable tv Glad ya made it through it though, of course
