    No proof needed !!!




    People who laugh a lot are much healthier than those who don't. Dr. Lee Berk at the Loma Linda School of Public Health in California found that laughing lowers levels of stress hormones, and strengthens the immune system - not to mention a good belly-laugh is great exercise!! Six-year-olds have it best - they laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day.

    The website http://www.strange.com/ requires a password to view it and doesn't come up on the first two page of search results is you google it.

    Also if you run a Whois on it nothing comes up.

    How strange is that?

    Proprietor is the same length. I figured that out after glancing at the keyboard. Perhaps I'm one of those idiot savants with amazing talents that employers aren't interested in. :(

    Tis a very viscous slow moving liquid. Go to old churches that hae the original glass still intact. The bottom of the pane of glass will be thicker than the top.
