This is by the local boys made good who put together weird NJ. Very cool magazine and book and website. Now they've gone nationwide. Definitely check it out. Also go to their website. You might see some cool/odd things in your hometown.

Thanks for the heads up, Des. Should be a good show.

BTW, I took the weird quiz:

How Weird Are You?

And the results are ...

You don't completely adhere to the Predictability Rulebook, but at the same time you're not a loose cannon either. There’s nothing wrong with being in the middle of the road...unless you're a hedgehog on a busy highway

Hey, me too! I wonder how hard it is to get a different result...

You're about as consistent and predictable as they come. Obviously you didn't inherit the Weird Gene from either of your parents.

Des,
I saw that advertised...looks a "wee bit interesting"... :wink: 8) :pirate:

National Geographic is also airing a 2 hour PART II of a comprehensive and indepth look at 9/11....at the same times..... :x I will try to tape both of them .....If I don't run out of tape...LOL Maybe you could tape the Conch Republic for me
Part I was EXCELLENT! The ABSOLUTE BEST of anything released so far and will be tough to beat!!!

Inside 9/11 :: Al Qaeda, World Trade Center, September 11 ::

The second 15 min segment took us into the new pirate museum in KW

And it was so nice to be represented by such an articulate gentleman as
Sir Peter...

My cable modem wasn't working at home, so I didn't get my email reminder to myself. Then I got drunk and don't remember much past 8pm :lol:
