I'm really glad that you went in when you did and you came out of it okay. That kind of thing can scare you to death. But man, you didn't get pictures?? That's an event of a lifetime. ;-)

Hello Jose,

It's funny now and I can laugh about it now but at the time, it
wasn't very funny at all and quite scary at the time. A few years
ago, I had put a couple of pop tarts (can't remember which variety)
into the toaster and after putting them in, I had walked outside to
do something (I think to put the trash cans out onto the street)
before going to work and totally forgot about the pop tarts. Well I
went walking into the side door of the house after being outside
for about 5 minutes (that's all it took) which lead into the
kitchen and to my amazement my cupboards were on fire when I walked
in the door! I tried not to panick too much, just needed to put the
fire out, well not thinking, I grab a bowl of water and threw the
water onto the fire, not thinking about the toaster being plugged
in, once the water hit that toaster the flames went even higher. I
thought to myself for a second and thought "ohhhh, have to unplug
the toaster", so I got the toaster unplugged while the flames were
going stronger on the cupboards (cupboards that were painted).
Anyhow, I finally grabbed a fire extinguisher that I had in the
kitchen and put the fire out. It had done enough damage to the
cupboards that I had to replace all of the cupboards. I just
thought to myself after I got the fire out and thought what could
of happened if I had been outside for 10 or 15 minutes, my whole
kitchen could of been up in flames and it would of been too much
for me to put the fire out. Thank God that wasn't the case! Anyhow,
it taught me a lesson to never leave a toaster on undeneath any
cabinets ever again especially if I ever want pop tarts. So after
reading the link that you had given here, I know for a fact that
this can happen and everyone should take notice of this because it
can be very scary if it was to ever happen to you. Like I said, I
can laugh about it now but at the time, it wasn't very funny at all!

I know this sucker has gotten spread like wildfire all over the web, and even made most of the cable news channels.

But in case you missed it, it is pretty darned funny, awfully cute, and actually manages to be non-partisan!

Here it is, in case you've been in an underground bunker without communication for the past 2 months or more:

was amazing. I tried with 'yoghurt', 'moon', and 'internet' - it
picked all three. My partner tried with 'yoga mat' and stumped the
AI. It came very close though.

Yes I like the way it's been taught to think, up to a point. I tried it with 'chain saw' and even though it's aware of this ('chain saw' came up in the final list of related stuff) it maintained its disagreement with me on the "uses electricity" ingredient. Well I think the world still awaits the first diesel chain saw but, dammit, now I feel compelled to go check. A pox upon Google...

OK I'm back, and I got as far as finding a reference to one in a little tableau titled "Xena Does Tool Time".

Now as long as we have Xena, bulemic confrontations at High Noon remain redundant by the most conservative assessment.

But that and the Czech animations must surely represent the extremes of human imagination! Quite jaw-dropping graphics, and a nice quirky plot that would delight Rube Goldberg. You can tell I got high on Myst and Riven in their day.

Hi Nancy,

Who could possibly think of taking pictures of their kitchen cabinets when they are on fire?? (LMAO) The only thing that I had on my mind at the time was putting the fire out and trying not to let the fire do too much damage to the cupboards but I couldn't and ended up having to replace them. The one thing I didn't want to do was call the fire station and have them flood my house with water and Thank God I didn't have to do that.

Anyhow, I guess if I would have thought about it, I could of taken some pictures of the destroyed toaster. (LOL)
Well you take care and talk to you again sometime.

Have you experienced a website that defies analysis? If so - why

The Lucifer Project

(Cassini impacts Saturn in July 2008)

J.C. Goliathan

Non est ad astra mollis e terries via.—There is no easy way from the earth to the stars. Seneca

This is a documentation and study of the feasibility of creating a sustainable fusion reaction from an initial fission reaction on Saturn caused by a significant quantity of Plutonium-238 being inserted deep into the atmosphere. A fusion-ignited Saturn-sun would be the key to creating a human-habitable area on Titan. This report is the result of my intensive research on this subject since late 2002. I could not be so confident in my assertions if it were not for the additional key research of Jacco van der Worp, a Netherlands physicist, and former NASA Consultant, Richard C. Hoagland. I am sure I will be accused of being an alarmist, but I believe the information presented here will convince any open mind that there is at least some suspicious activity regarding NASA’s Galileo and Cassini missions.

OH REALLY NOW!

This has got to be the ultimate repository of alien/government
conspiracy theories. You'll be amazed browing around the site at
all of the very vagueish implications, as if they know something
you don't and they're not going to tell you!
