    This is great, Deron. I have enjoyed browsing in this list. The one concerning “Fox news coverage = campaign contribution” cites notions I have been pondering for a while now.

    always known the one about running shoes. back in the day we only wore the thinest peice of leather of a shoe, literally molded to your foot (with 3 spikes attached to the ball of the foot, nothing on the heel) during competetion.

    still don’t wear shoes today when I run.

    oh, and thanks for the Transformer Program link. that’s just one more thing to add to my list of Things I Want But No One Will Allow Me…e.g. jetpacks, original Fizzies, dreamless sleep, my thirty-five year old body, carcinogen JiffyPop…
