[The Register - Office workers give away passwords for a cheap pen]

What a scary thought. I cannot see anyone doing this but obviously I am out of touch with reality. A CEO of a company was social enginnered into giving up the password. And this after he said that giving the password could cause problems if he did it.

Christian and Jewish clergy say a billboard that promotes vegetarianism by claiming "Jesus was the prince of peas" is historically inaccurate and sacrilegious.

Who else but PETA could come up with garbage like this. I am getting sick of them. If they are trying to raise awareness of their cause, they are not doing it, they are driving further away the people they want to reach. This is the latest in the stupid stunts catergory.

This was in Rec.Humor.Funny newsgroup today, and thought it to good not to share. It is rare you can pick on two groups so equaly with one joke:

"Windows XP is a blessing upon the face of the world. The Linux infidels lie like dogs in a Persian bathhouse when they boldfacedly tell you that Windows XP (R) has security holes.

Homeland Security taps privacy official | CNET.com

How ironic can things get. You see Double Click has for years not cared about consumers privacy rights. I guess one who knows what to ignore could be in charge, but to me it smells worse than yesterday's diaper. I have supported the agency cautiously up to now. Now I am not so sure.

[Reuters | Bush Administration Ratchets Up Pressure on Syria ]
Mr. President. With all due respect. I will need to see the smoking gun this time. This is not a campaign to take over the oil rich countries. Yes, apply pressure, but if you invade Syria, I question your motives. Not only I but many Americans will. This will be insanity.

Oklahoma City bombing anniversary this coming weekend
With the war, and the events of 9/11, it is sometimes hard to remember some of our more ancient history. This weekend, please pray for us in the Sooner State. While some will mark this anniversary as a time when terrorism came to the heartland, others will be reminded of loved ones and friends that were lost forever.

I cannot begin to comprehend what those who lost family feel. Pray for us here in the heartland.
