Funny. On a related note: There are a number of those food network shows - like "Cake Boss" that my family likes to watch. A lot of them are either candy or cake "sculptures". I have to admit that they look pretty neat, but to me they are completely unappetizing. Why would you w...

As you surmise, Daiv, that article doesn't give the whole story. This guy is damming streams that flow into a river.

What lovely flowers. And absolutely wicked spines.

Pretty.

Well, the first thing you can do is see a different doctor. Infections in joints are not fun, and knees can be tricky. When I was teenager, I woke up one morning and couldn't walk.
