Unforgettable - Writers Island
The most unforgettable thing I can think of during my life time was the destruction of 
the World Trade Towers in New York, on September 11th, 2001. The picture of the plane going into the second tower and watching the collapse of both towers on the television. The horrendous action of but a few people on a group of innocent civilians is so mind-boggling that I cannot to this day, more than six years later, fathom the reasons or the final consequences for it.
The images, that were presented by television, will be burned into the minds of generations to come, even more so than the atrocities of the World Wars or anything that came before. Justification for the actions leading up to the destruction and in the aftermath, doesn’t seem to explain why it was so necessary to bring down a pinnacle of man’s existence.
The worst thing about the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York is that it seems to have accomplished nothing for the perpetrators. If it was executed as planned, what could they possible hope to accomplish? Who could possibly benefit from the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon and the White House, if it was also a target? They were ludicrous actions, put in place by a very stupid person and implemented by deranged actors.

WD-40 - Who Would Have Ever Thunk It?
I wished that I had thought to research for this article but I found it at Alycnwonderland. It is a really cool site with a lot of researched information. In going further though I found a lot more uses for WD-40. There are over 2000 uses for WD-40 listed on their fan club site.
WD-40 will remove spray paint from car paint, who knew?
Water Displacement 40. The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a "water displacement" compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.
Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you.
When you read the "shower door" part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your stove top... Viola! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.
Here are some of the uses:
1) Protects silver from tarnishing.
2) Removes road tar and grime from cars.
3) Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.
4) Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making it slippery.
5) Keeps flies off cows.
6) Restores and cleans chalkboards.
7) Removes lipstick stains.
8) Loosens stubborn zippers.
9) Untangles jewelry chains.
10) Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.
11) Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.
12) Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing.
13) Removes tomato stains from clothing.
14) Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots.
15) Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors.
16) Keeps scissors working smoothly.
17) Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes
18) It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
19) Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!
20) Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.
21) Lubricates gear shift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on riding mowers.
22) Rids kid s rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises.
23) Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open.
24) Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close.
25) Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well as vinyl bumpers.
26) Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles.
27) Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans.
28) Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for easy handling.
29) Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly.
30) Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.
31) Removes splattered grease on stove.
32) Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.
33) Lubricates prosthetic limbs.
34) Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).
35) Removes all traces of duct tape.
36) Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain.
37) Florida 's favorite us e is: "cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers."
38) The favorite use in the state of New York WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.
39) WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.
40) Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.
41) WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.
42) Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and rewash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!
43) If you spray WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start.
The basic ingredient is FISH OIL.
Keep a can of WD-40 in the kitchen cabinet over
the stove. It is good for oven burns or any other type of burn. It takes the burned feeling away and heals with NO scarring!

Gimme A Dream is Ranked Page # 2
Apparently Google has decided to rank the Gimme A Dream site as a Page Rank # 2
. Basically they group all the web sites that are in the public domain into 10 ranks; the very top sites in the World ranked 10 and the overwhelming majority having a rank of Zero. How they work out the rankings is a total mystery, known only to Google and the Dark Forces. I think they throw a bunch of statistics and other factors into a big cauldron, add the eye of a newt and the wing of a bat, mix well, season to taste and cook in a slow oven for several months. Hubble bubble, toil and trouble. I'm not sure I like the rating system, but there it is.
