There’s a little flap in the Sunshine State over an email and illegal imigration.
What surprises me about this is not the email, or the fact that we have illegal immigration in this country, but what people perceive is the cost of illegal imigration to us – the legal residents. So I started a little research project. It turns out there is quite a little debate going over just how many…
There’s a phenomenon frequently associated with “Windows PCs” where apiece of hardware spontaneously takes flight. It’s usually a keyboard or mouse, but in a few documented cases it has happened to monitors and CPUs as well.
Recent studies suggest this “phenomenon” is not spontaneous at all; but rather, a pre-meditated attempt by an owner to bleed off a little…
Perhaps this is a little sexist, but I usually associate clouds of personal scent (of the optional variety) with women. Imagine my concern when I walked into a public restroom and my nose was assaulted by the smell of burning money (speaking metaphorically).

A collective sigh could be heard from as far as the Paines’ Prairie State Preserve late last week as word spread that Billy Donovan was not interested in the Kentucky job – and would be staying at Florida (for now).
Going back to my days as a UF freshman, and lonely season ticket holder under the Don Devoe regime, I’ve had a destinct inferiority complex over my allegiance to the…
Yes, the game would have turned out differently if OSU would have hit more outside shots… but the UF defense MAY have had something to do with it (my prior fears notwithstanding). Maybe this was OSU’s “A” game… and maybe, just maybe, UF brought it’s “A” game too.
OSU did get some open looks outside, with UF playing a lot of zone; but there…
