I can’t decide <\/span>what to post today. When indecisive, it helps to make a list.<\/p>\n

1.<\/span> Stopforwarding.us<\/a> is a helpful website if people keep sending you dubious forwards, unhelpful urban legends, unwanted photos, or letters about how the long-dead Madilyn Murray O’Hair<\/a> is about to infringe on my religious liberties<\/a>. If everyone sent people anonymous “stop it!” messages every time they ended up on the receiving end of forward spam, the world (and my in-box) would be a better place.<\/p>\n

2. <\/span>Next time it’s my birthday, I’m totally using my camera to do this.<\/a> The Longbrake: always coming through with awesomeness.<\/p>\n

3. <\/span>I am participating in this triathlon<\/a> in September. It’s my first triathlon. I’m a swimmer, so that shouldn’t be too tough. But the 10-mile bike part has a serious uphill climb and, 5K or not, I don’t really like to run. Unless being pursued by deadly creatures. So I’m training for it most nights, and it’s making me tired. Last night I ran three miles. This morning I will ride my bike seven miles. Wheee.<\/p>\n

4.<\/span> Looks like Mugabe’s not going anywhere<\/a>. Things aren’t looking good for his opposition, Morgan Tsvangirai. That’s bad news for the people of Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

5. <\/span>Have you bought your customary small book about the Bible in preparation for your celebration of Independence Day? Purchasing a Pocket Guide is a long, honored 4th of July tradition in many parts of this great nation — along with flags, fireworks, and the grilling of meats. Buy your super-cheap signed Pocket Guide to the Bible<\/span> today. Use the buttons on the sidebar to your left. Act now, because there are only 8,600 left in stock<\/a>.<\/p>\n
