I love to read

I have found some great books from Short Stack Publishing which is out of London.  They have one of the best written books on  How to Handle Living with Your Dog that I have read so far.  I told you I had gotten a puppy, right?  Well this is a great book for people interested in living with your dog.

In fact, you should check out their home of the How to Handle Series.  They have some great topics.  They’re just a small publishing company but if they keep publishing great books like these, they won’t be small for long I bet.

I hate snakes

One of my least favorite of Gods creatures are snakes.  One things for sure, I am glad I wasn’t living when this thing was around, contrary to what some believe.  They found this thing in northeastern Columbia.  It can stay there for all I care.

Never mind the 40-foot snake that menaced Jennifer Lopez in the 1997 movie “Anaconda.” Not even Hollywood could match a new discovery from the ancient world. Fossils from northeastern Colombia reveal the biggest snake ever discovered: a behemoth that stretched 42 to 45 feet long, reaching more than 2,500 pounds.

“This thing weighs more than a bison and is longer than a city bus,” enthused snake expert Jack Conrad of the American Museum of Natural History in New York, who was familiar with the find. “It could easily eat something the size of a cow. A human would just be toast immediately.”

“If it tried to enter my office to eat me, it would have a hard time squeezing through the door,” reckoned paleontologist Jason Head of the University of Toronto Missisauga.

Actually, the beast probably munched on ancient relatives of crocodiles in its rain forest home some 58 million to 60 million years ago, he said.

That’s one huge snake.  Here’s a picture of one of it’s bones too.  YUCK!!!!!!!!!

XML Contest

Well one of the boys that works for me was asking if he could use the computer here at work for some sort of contest he heard about in school.  It’s a programming contest. It’s open to anyone from professionals to students and he wants to get in on it. All he has to do is take a little quick quiz online and you don’t even have to have any experience in XML or database to complete the quiz.

There are five different contests that you can be awarded prizes for and recognition for too.  One is a video contest, a gadget contest, a query contest, a ported app contest 1 and an XML 2 contest.  Well if anyone can win something it will be this boy.

Thinking about a vacation

I was thinking about a vacation.  I found these Sandals Beach Resort Coupons and they sure would save me some money.  I just might have to check into it more and take a much needed vacation.
