It seems that the some of the people of Lesbos are offended with anyone else being called a lesbian.
“The man spearheading the case, publisher Dimitris Lambrou, claims that international dominance of the word in its sexual context violates the human rights of the islanders, and disgraces them around the world.”
Personally, how exactly is it disgraceful [...]
Last week my Aunt passed away. She was my Father’s last remaining sibling. She had been in the hospital for several weeks before she passed and I spent most all my free time there with her until her death. It was not something that I care to repeat anytime soon. Watching someone slip away day [...]
I was wandering around on flickr this afternoon and somehow ended up on one of their available stats pages. It lists which camera types are most popular for taking pictures to upload.

It would seem that being gay “is not a lifestyle that is good for this nation” and that the homosexual lifestyle “is a death knell for this country” according to Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern. The previous quotes were [...]
At this point in my life I have seen quite a bit of technology come and go. Gadgets gleefully appear before your very eyes and then disappear in a dust cloud. I have lusted after many different types of gizmo’s at various times throughout my life and almost never regretted it in the morning after [...]

I was reading this post over at Neatorama (the original source is here) and it got me to calculating (which is never really a good thing - as it takes all my fingers and toes). Part of the post said:
