Such quality programming as to make you feel like you've found an artesian
well after crawling across the desert. Finally, fresh radio. It takes
months for dribbles of this music to finally show up in the heavily
automated local radio market.

Another reason why your mouth tastes bad in the morning
According to a recent study, flush toilets are not quite as sanitary
as we've been led to believe. Apparently when a toilet is flushed,
a fine aerosol mist of urine, feces and water is blasted into
the air and can take up to two hours to settle on any exposed surfaces.
Like your toothbrush.
They should have bought the paintings....
Another one from the world of the might-have-been. Once upon
a time, there was a young Austrian who wanted to become
a famous painter. He worked very hard at it, painting
some 2,000 - 3,000 pictures; houses and landscapes mostly,
since he'd been told he couldn't do people very well. He
just couldn't make a go of it though. Critics dismissed
his hard work as peurile and untalented and there just
wasn't a market for his art. So he had to find a different
line of work.
Now there is an
online
exhibit
of some of his paintings, hosted by a Hungarian university library. You
can see for yourself what young Adolf Hitler spent his time on.
