From ab: Got this photo and I like the little explanation of what happens to make a shock egg.

From miolla:

Obesity report 2009 Colorado is the most lean state with Mississippi the chubbiest. Maine's representing (?) at 15th leanest. The executive summary has the full chart if you scroll down a couple pages.

I would think the Southern states would be more exercise-prone than the northern states due to favorable weather, but I also seem to remember running from Air conditioned house to air conditioned house as a kid in Louisiana. -hendred

There's a new version of Firefox out. I guess it's faster, but I don't really notice it.

Anyway, when I upgraded for some reason it stopped showing my history in the url bar when I typed things in. I thought it blew away my history, but it turns out there' s a setting in Tools->Options->Privacy Tab for the Location Bar. It was defaulted to show None instead of History.

Thought other folks may have the same issue.

And if your copy hasn't auto-downloaded you can do Help->Check for Updates and that'll grab it.

I'm in the same place with Le Tour as I am with F1 - beat down by disappointment but still entertained by the sheer size of the spectacle.

Anyway, check out the route.

They're starting in Monaco with a time trial, stopping in Verbier, and climbing from Barcelona into Andorra at one point. And the next-to-last day is a big mountain stage.

May the best doper win! -hendred, still disappointed when Floyd-o broke his heart

DTS is back, obviously. i had a billing snafu. -hendred
