quote [ Just as the segment came on the air, two men waded in front of Kosinki . . . and the water barely covered their shoe tops! That's right, Kosinski's canoe was in no more than four to six inches of water! ]

quote [ Recently, Ron proved that he's a big man when it comes to small animals by taking a break from his daily grind to pose for a new PETA ad promoting spaying and neutering.

quote [ Start with a "sea" of nearly 5000 names. Type a letter, and you'll zoom in to focus on how that initial has been used over the past century Each stripe is a timeline of one name, its width reflecting the name's changing popularity. ]
You don't see many baby-related sites here, but this is a really cool app. Type in a baby name to see it's popularity through time, since 1900. Where do you rank? I peaked in the 60's. Java required.
