Argentine soccer stadium installs goalposts in urinals to entertain fans.

Everyone knows Argentines are football crazy, and think about their beloved sport at every waking moment and during most of their sleeping ones too. in the River Plate stadium, where tiny goalposts and balls have been installed in the urinals with the instructions: "Aim well and score a goal!" It's a novel approach to urinating, with the added goal-scoring challenge involving a movable ball. Quoting the Marketing Dept Head, "it's also a question of hygiene because it represents between 40 and 50 percent better hygiene, I mean of a reduction in cleaning costs because urinals get less dirty. And that is why the club welcomed this pretty curious, pretty original product "

You will want to see the little video I'm sure. EDIT--Alert reader Ruth Switzer notified me by email that the STORY was REMOVED IT SEEMS, so I removed link

The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Web Slang

Today I ran across a term that i didnt know (YOU probably DO), "420 friendly" ....but thanks to the remarkable internet, one can do a search and become enlightened immediately.
