Yeah, it creeped me out too, when I saw it as a kid. I'm so shaped by the programs I watched then ...
It is 2nd May, one week since the outbreak, and you havent stressed yet the responsibility of intensive farming of animals at the heart of the swine/mexican flu pandemic.

Hey Rod, I just read a fascinating article from Wired about the swine flu and factory farming. You should check it out.

It's similar to Shatner's voice but I don't think it's his. It lacks that certain something that makes his voice so distinctive.
Hey everyone,
I saw the article about birthdays and since it is my best friends 21st birthday coming up really soon I wanted to add a quick comment. Birthdays are great! For my close friends I always organise a little gathering for drinkies in the evening, or a nice meal out! I try and go that little mile for my friends! As part of their day of surprises, I tend to send my friends a little electronic Happy Birthday greeting in my lunch break! I have done my research and tried loads of different sites, and have finally found the perfect Free Birthday e-Card site. This particular site has an awesome application where you can upload a photograph of yourself and incorporate it into your card. This is such a clever idea, and adds that personal touch, and as I already mentioned this particular site is totally free. I think e-Cards are definitely worth a try, they are not for everyone, but I am becoming a fan! Just wanted to share my findings with you all.
