Evening Reading

I name today... the most eventful day ever! In an attempt to bring some order to the incredibly hectic crazy day we bring you ER. This ER was cranked out via sweat shops in Canadia by underpaid overworked minors. They usually do the best work so we employed them.

- If you like fast food, dont read this. Thanks to that sick bastard dognose. - Security agents train long and hard for 4-6 weeks in order to reach a pinacle of a career like this. - What will you do if you win the lottery? I'm gonna start up a global meth manufacturing career! - Some interesting programming language benchmarks for you programmer monkeys. Thanks Richard.   (fyi, Shack runs c-code, some php, and a tiny bit of perl) - Some dude scored himself a new heart. It's fake though.. some assembly required.
Lastly, good luck to Lum The Mad who has quit that silly website business and moved on to real work at Mythic Entertainment. update Jack - HELP! I'm having really nasty hard drive issues. It's the kind where you turn on the computer and one of the hard drives starts clicking like hell. I have some backups, but there's some recent data on there I'd like to get off. Are there any remedies that any of you know of? If you can help, please shoot me a ShackMessage or email. Thanks much!

    Me: I would like two Biscuit Sandwiches and a Croisandwich please.
    Speaker: What kind of Sandwich?
