Well I imagine you could ingest urine in other ways than orally; perhaps it could find its way through your skin or one of the many lovely orifices the human body has provided.

Useless information: it is 92 degrees in my house, and my thermometer has rabbits on it.

Most of the US's mass graves are in St. Augustine, most of which due to a massive yellow fever epidemic.

One of the mass graves isn't really a grave at all. It was a big pit where they buried amputated limbs. THe city then built a road oover it.

The difference between a coffin and a casket-
A casket is rectangular and has a hinged lid.
A coffin is shaped at the shoulders, and has a lid which until screwed down, isn't attatched.

According to a friend of mine, in the state we live in (Indiana), pi (the mathematical term) is legally 4. I'd have thought it would be 3, as that is what it rounds to. However, I haven't had the time to actually check that, so it might not be quite accurate.

Pythagareus (Sp?), father of mathehmatics and music, came up with the Pentagram as a symbol of mathematical purity... take the star, break it down into lines wherever the lines cross. Line up the resulting lines by height. The smallest line will be half the length of the next longest, which will be half the length of the next longest, etc. In otherwords: eighths. Octaves. As in musical cords. Because, an octave in music represents the sounds a specific length of wire will make, after being devided into eighths, then plucked. 1/8, 2/8, 3/8, etc.

Pythagarus (Sp?), often got together with his followers to make music and discuss mathematics in secret. Their pass sign was the pentagram. Early Christians picked up on the pentagram as a symbol of secrecy, and it has been both glorified and villified ever since... examples of it's use include witchcraft, satanism, and the Pentagon.

JFK's secretary's name was Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's secretary's last name was Kennedy.

JFK was with Marilyn Monroe two weeks before he died, Lincoln was in Monroe, Maryland two weeks before he died.

Lincoln died in Ford Theatre, JFK died in a Ford car.

Lincoln was shot in a theatre and his killer hid in a warehouse.

JFK was shot in a warehouse and his killer hid in a theatre.

Both presidents were with their wives, and both were shot on a Friday before a holiday.

And the Limousine Kennedy was in was a Ford Lincoln.

Although, Lincoln did not have a secretary called Kennedy, as far as I know from watching too many JFK programs.

This make absolutely no sences at all to me.

The guys from Mushroomhead are close friends with the guys from Dope. Other bands they like to tour with include Mushuggah, Avenged Seven Sevenfold, 40 Below Summer, Motograder, Twisted Method, Sevendust and Crossbreed.

JJ Righteous (guitar) left Mushroomhead when they signed onto Universal Records. He wanted to stay on the underground scene. Bronson (samples), who was also a good guitarist, stepped up to replace Righteous. In Bronson's stead, their friend Chris was brought in to play samples and renamed Stitch.

J Mann recently left the band to work full-time with his side project 216. To replace him, they brought in their friend Waylon who wasn't renamed. THe thing is, his vocal stylings are different from Mann's. Waylon's scream is higher and he also sings and does harmonics with Jeffrey Nothing (vocals).

As a joke, Waylon once did a "Chester (of Linkin Park) scream. Skinny (drums) became excited and shouted, "Do that! That sells.

According to Waylon, their new album is supposed to be like Black Sabbath meets Pink Floyd. One can only imagine.

I love Mushroomhead.

The CanAm highway, created in a single year during WWII, was built to create and supply air force bases in Alaska, as Alaska is just a handful of miles from Russian Siberia... It was one of the first projects to use both Black and White enlisted men, working together.
