Oil tanker explodes off Yemen


A French-owned oil tanker is on fire off the coast of Yemen after an explosion on board. Yemeni officials say they do not consider the blast an act of sabotage, but a diplomat at the French embassy said early reports, though contradictory, suggested a terrorist attack.

Farts and Flatulence


It's possible that the following quotes have been taken out of context, but who knows?

Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full. He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. (Psalms 78, 24)

And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, there will be heat; and it cometh to pass. (Luke 12, 54)

He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. (Psalms 147, 17)

Legal counsel for the actress say she is not interested in cutting a plea deal and is ready to head to court this week to face shoplifting charges.

Mexico City's Volkswagen taxi bugs to be exterminated


There's one sure way to know you're in Mexico City: the rounded, green and white Volkswagen bug taxis sputtering and darting along the clogged streets. But the city's government is planning their slow extermination. Mexico is the only country where the old-style Volkswagen bug -- as opposed to the new Beetle -- is still produced, and the car is hugely popular with Mexico City's traffic-savvy taxi drivers. It is as much as symbol as the yellow taxi is in New York.

AMD Overclocking Guide - October 2002


AMD has long been known for selling processors that have a huge amount of overclocking potential. Though the parent company may not like the fact that buyers are getting something for nothing, they have normally turned the other cheek when it comes to making a product that is still easy to squeeze some extra power from. It used to be that all you needed was a simple #2 pencil to unlock the fury of your processor, but that was before the Palomino core design hit the streets. With this revision, enthusiasts had to step back and look for a new way to get those massive overclocked speeds.

This may be the new G-spot


A new, fully functioning sexual organ or a scrap of tissue even more redundant than the appendix? The female prostate is about to become official. But that is unlikely to lay to rest a longstanding debate over whether such an organ exists, and, if it does exist, whether it amounts to the same thing as the G-spot or has any other relevance to sexuality and health.
