Wow, look at all that ultraviolet radiation!!!!
 Lucky we have a protective ozone layer around the Earth.Based on very recent reports, it seems the ozone hole depletion has stopped. I hope they're right. Right now I'm helping my son write a short report on it for his chemistry class. |

As a young kid I used to be a "pin boy" at the bowling alley in the basement of our school. We didn't have automatic pin pickup so my job was to pick up the fallen pins and drop them into the pin resetter machine as needed and then activate the resetter at the appropriate time. For a few extra bucks greasing my palms, during competitions I could arrange for your score to improve by tossing an extra pin down just as your ball hit the head pin.

Yes, but the ensuing battle involved the two competitors and not me. I confess to having done it 3 times for two different bowlers. Hopefully this is not a mortal crime and I'll just burn a bit longer for it, though not for the longest possible sentence.
It really had nothing to do with the bribe. I did it because it sounded mischievous. |

Longest tenpin bowling marathon world record set by Stephen Shanabrook Plano, Texas USA
Stephen Shanabrook, 24, physical therapy technician of Plano, bowled at The Plano Super Bowl, (which is open 24 hours), for five days and five hours (125 hrs) - setting the new world record for the Longest tenpin bowling marathon. Shanabrook bowled an average of five games an hour, and saw his scores range from 5 to 198 this week at the 24-hour Plano Super Bowl. "I've always liked bowling, but you just get into a routine and it gets mundane," Shanabrook said. "But then you've got to think back to why you started this in the first place, and that's for the charities it is supporting." Proceeds generated by the event went to charity, allowing Shanabrook to take part in a hobby that he loves while also helping out those in need.  The previous Guinness World Record for the Longest tenpin bowling marathon was 120 hours by Andy Milne (Canada) at Classic Bowl, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada from 24-29 October 2005. |

Swiss celebrate digging world's longest tunnel Associated Press/AP Online By FRANK JORDANS SEDRUN, Switzerland - Workers hugged, cheered and set off fireworks as the huge drill broke through the last stretch of rock deep in the Swiss Alps. There was delight at the end of the tunnel - the world's longest - when it was completed Friday. The $10 billion, 35.4-mile (57-kilometer) tube will connect Europe's high-speed rail network and is part of a larger effort to cut in half the number of trucks - now at 1.2 million - that thunder through the Alps each year. The joy and pride felt throughout Switzerland over digging the Gotthard Base Tunnel reflected the one cause that unites the country's wealthy city dwellers with those living in traditional villages: Protecting the beauty of the mountains. "Together we risked a lot," said Swiss Transport Minister Moritz Leuenberger. "Together we achieved a lot." |
