Well, I haven't written anything in a while, I've been busy. I've started going back to school, started a new job at a new company, moved 30 miles away, and I'm sure plenty of other things I can’t remember.

Wish me luck on not breaking down in the next few weeks.

After a stupid argument with my girl that I started, I was able to end it with a bit of photoshoping... Thank you PhotoShop!!!!

United States Patent: 6368227
I belive that I may have prior art to this one dating back to the 1980's. We used this mode of swinging in the two swings made of rubber tires hanging next to each other outside effectively making them into bumper cars. The object was to swing into the other guy until he couldn't take it any more.

Important to note is that you actually only need to pull rythmically in one of the chains to get this sideways swinging motion, so our invention is technically far supperior to this kids inferior method of pulling in both chains.
Why is sneezing involuntary? I realize that things like breathing and coughing are needed, because if they weren't involuntary we would die. Sneezing? What would happen? we'd have to endure a tickle in our nose? Oh the horror!

More Pondering: How come cats and dogs don't get stuffy noses? I can't recall seeing a cat or dog breathing out of its mouth because they're all snotted up. I've pondered in the past about their lack of coughing as well. It seems that as far as the animal kingdom goes, humans got the short end of the stick in the upper respiratory department.
