Weblinkhosting.com, a web hosting company in New York is set to do what no hosting company has done before. That is to legally adopt a child under the name of the company. The child will live at the web hosting data center where he will be provided with food, clothing, shelter and love from the owner and employee’s.

This very controversial step has both positive and negative views among critics. [DUH!] The child will become the logo and slogan of the company when he has become old enough. As for what nationality the child will be and how old that has yet to be determined.
[WTF?!?!]
The sex of the child will be determined with the flip of a coin.
[WTF?!?!]

Definition of ME
I am a big fan of the Myers-Briggs Personality Type... I sometimes find it interesting to try and classify my friends into one of the sixteen different classifications. I often do this while I am clipping my toenails, cleaning out the belly button lint, doing the laundry, watching Queer Eye, and throwing a tennis ball against the wall (um, NOT!). Like I have time to throw a tennis ball against the wall?
INTP = Introvert | iNtuitive | Thinking | Perceptive
INTPs live rich worlds inside their minds, which are full of imagination and excitement. Consequently, they sometimes find the external world pales in comparison. INTPs are not likely to have a very large circle of significant relationships in their lives. They're much more likely to have a few very close relationships, which they hold in great esteem and with great affection.
There's more...
What type are you?

OLDIE BUT GOODIE: The Question of Hell?
The following is a question given on a University of Toronto chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so profound that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it’s compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, lets look at the different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.
Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With Birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Kate during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct... leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Kate kept shouting "Oh my God."
This student received the only "A."

Do you wear a mask when robbing a bank by phone?
Two days after robbing a bank in person, the bandit decided they hadn't given him enough money, so he rang them up from his phone and demanded the manager meet him somewhere with more money. Yes, he used his own cell phone. Yes, it didn't take long for the police to track down who the guy was. No one ever said bank robbers were particularly intelligent.
