This came in my morning e-mail. I really don't need the money so I thought I'd pass it on.
Good day,
I am Mr. Patrick Benton, the Director Bills & Exchange in FACTO TRUST BANK. I personally discovered a dormant account with a total sum of(TWENTY-NINE MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS) during our Bank's Annual Year Account Auditing. The owner of this dormant account died on 7th Jan 2012. Since the death of the deceased, nobody has operated in this account till date. Moreover this account has NO BENEFICIARY attached to it. Definitely this fund will be confiscated by our BANKING CODE OF ETHICS if it remains dormant for a period of (10) years without any claims.
In this regard, I earnestly need your full cooperation in transferring this dormant fund out of our bank to avoid confiscating this fund.
If you are willing to cooperate in this project, Get back to me on my private Email ( ***********@*****.com ) for more details. you are free to ask me any question regarding this project.
Sincerely,
Mr. Patrick Benton.- 2

Of course he said that. I owned a black 1958 348cid 4-speed back in my days-of-romance. And if I had to choose today between my wife (who, like him, I was dating then) and the Impala...............

He lives in Sarasota Rob. If you ever get to Florida, and he can overcome the cease-and-desist order, I'd love to buy a beer (or two). Let me know if you ever get down this way and we'll hookup and have a great night listening to some great music.

He's more than just a "street guy". His name is Dovydas Mascinskas and he's well known both here and in Europe. He does a lot of concerts and even has a couple of albums available. I've seen him a few of time in Sarasota and he's just terrific. The videos don't do him justice. Unfortunately the stupid merchants from the St. Armand's Circle Association got a cease-and-desist order in February so he's not showing up there now. But he's still appearing in other places, both here and in Europe. If you ever get chance to see him live take it.

Happy belated birthday Jack. I'm so sorry I missed you this year. CRS is a terrible disease. I remember so well wising you a happy 43rd birthday all those years ago. And I'll never forget Jackie's smile. Or that wonderful dinner at The Lodge. Or shaking your hand. All I can say is thanks. Both from me personally and from our country. You were on of the good guys.

This is as much math as I can handle. (And, it explains why all the girls get prettier at closing time). Credit to HowStuffWorks.
Many of us have heard of the so-called "beer goggle" effect. It's the phenomenon that occurs when someone's had a few alcoholic drinks and suddenly, all of those people who looked semi-attractive on entering the bar look really, really appealing. Scientists have shown that it's not just a lowering of standards -- alcohol actually stimulates the part of the brain that judges facial attractiveness"The effect can reportedly be traced to the nucleus accumbens. When you're looking at another human being, the nucleus accumbens is the area of the brain that decides how attractive that human being's face is. If you look at, say, George Clooney or Angelina Jolie, this area of your brain probably experiences increased neural firing. In other words, it's stimulated. As it turns out, alcohol, all by itself, stimulates the nucleus accumbens. So when you've have a few drinks, and you look at a face you may have judged as unattractive when you were sober, your brain, under the influence of alcohol, tells you that this face is in fact somewhat attractive. And the increase in perceived attractive seems to be directly proportional to the amount of alcohol consumed.
In a recent study conducted by researchers at England's Manchester University, scientists actually came up with a mathematical formula to calculate the extent of the "beer goggle" effect on a given individual in a given situation. Their reasoning for creating this formula is that alcohol is not really the only factor affecting the drunken perception of beauty. Other factors, according to their research, include:
- How brightly lit the area is
- The observer's eye-sight quality
- The amount of smoke in the air
- The distance of the observer from the observed
The formula goes like this:
where:
- An is the number of servings of alcohol
- S is the smokiness of the area on a scale of 0 - 10
- L is the lighting level of the area, measured in candelas per square meter, in which 150 is normal room lightning
- Vo is Snellen visual acuity, in which 6/6 is normal and 6/12 is the lower limit at which someone is able to drive
- d is the distance between the observer and the observed, measured in meters [source: BBC News]
The formula works out a "beer goggle" score ranging from 1 to 100+. When ø = 1, the observer is perceiving the same degree of beauty he or she would perceive in a sober state. At 100+, everybody in the room is a perfect 10."

All though I swore I wouldn't, I have to post this subject again. In the United States today it's Memorial Day. That's the day we remember those who gave their lives for our country and world freedom. I never knew my father. He died a month before I was born. He never returned from Guadalcanal. All I can say is, I love you Dad. And God bless the United States Marine Corps. And God bless America.
