I did not know this, so maybe you didn't either:

"The Academy Awards will be presented Sunday night at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. Chris Rock is this year's host, but we anticipate endless post show analysis regarding the starlets' dresses, the acceptance speeches, and most of all, the "snubs."

"Regarding snubs, a lot of folks claim Paul Giamatti (son of late baseball commissioner Bart Giamatti) should have been nominated for Best Actor in "Sideways." "Kinsey" was also largely dissed by the academy, and Michael Moore came up zeros with "Fahrenheit 9/11." etc. etc. (rest of the story)

Occasionally, we select your most interesting comments and ideas, and incorporate them into a feature called YOUR TWO CENTS. It is the writings of you readers, un-edited (unless they make no sense as written) and posted here, for all the world of cyberspace to see. The following was forwarded by Lance Norris of Cohasset, MA.

"I'm passing this on to you because it definitely
worked for me and we all
could use more calm in our lives. By following the
simple advice I heard on
a Dr. Phil show, I have finally found inner peace.
Dr. Phil proclaimed the
way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the
things you have started. So
I looked around my house to see things I started and
hadn't finished; and, before leaving the house this morning I finished off
a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bottle of Baileys, a bottle
of Kahlua, a box of Cheese Nips, the rest of the Pizza, a pot of coffee, a pint of Ben and Jerry's,
some Saltines, and a box of Godiva Chocolates. You have no idea how good I feel.
Please pass this on to those you feel are in need of
inner peace."

Subject: Interesting study

 A study conducted by UCLA's Department of Psychiatry has revealed that
the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending
on where she is in her menstrual cycle.
 
For instance, if she is ovulating she is attracted to men with rugged
and masculine features.  However, if she is menstruating or menopausal,
she is more prone to be attracted to a man with scissors lodged in his
temple and a bat jammed up his ass while he is on fire.
 
Further studies are expected.

My husband has a long record of money problems. He runs up huge credit card bills and at the end of the month, if I try to pay them off, he shouts at me, saying I am stealing his money. He says pay the minimum and let our kids worry about the rest, but already we can hardly keep up with the interest.

Also he has been so arrogant and abusive toward our neighbors that most of them no longer speak to us. The few that do are an odd bunch, to whom he has been giving a lot of expensive gifts, running up our bills even more.

Also, he has gotten religious in a big way, although I don't quite understand it. One week he hangs out with Catholics and the next with people who say the Pope is the Anti-Christ. And now he has been going to the gym an awful lot and is into wearing uniforms and cowboy outfits, and I hate to think what that means.

Finally, the last straw. He's demanding that before anyone can be in the same room with him, they must sign a loyalty oath. It's just so horribly creepy!

Can you help?

Paul Sferruzza, an old friend of mine and sports enthusiast once told me that "soccer will never be accepted as a major commercial spectator sport in America."

I believe that smoking cigarettes will be unheard of in fifty years, except on the black market and in severely underdeveloped areas of the world.

I also strongly believe that (even though I still eat meat and fish occasionally), within fifty years there will be virtually no flesh-eating in most American homes and restaurants.

Which is most likely to happen? Please vote below- (one comment and one reply to another comment per person please).
In fifty years:

a) Soccer will be a major commercial spectator sport in the U.S.
b) Cigarette smoking will be non-existent in most developed countries.
c) The killing of living animals on American soil for any purpose except self-defense will be a criminal act.
d) None of the above will occur within fifty years.

It's all in the presentation

If you can't open the ZIP file:

(DB of Cambridge MA, PC owner and computer-knowledgeable geek friend, writes the following:)

"The file is in ZIP format, containing a PPS (Microsoft PowerPoint Slideshow) file.
• if you have a Mac, go here;
• if you have a PC, go to here or here (the PC standard) and download and install the program.
That should extract the PPS file. You'll need Microsoft PowerPoint or Microsoft Office suite to open the PPS.

• If you don't have either but you do have a PC, the free viewer will probably work:

Scientists in Scotland have found proof of the so-called "beer goggles" effect. They discovered that men and women who have consumed a moderate amount of alcohol find the faces of the opposite sex 25% more attractive than their sober counterparts.

And the study revealed that there was no difference in the beer goggles effect between men and women.

Students at Glasgow University were shown color photographs of 120 male and female St. Andrews University students aged 18 to 26. Participants were asked to rate their aesthetic properties on a scale of between one -- highly unattractive -- to seven -- highly attractive.
Half of the students had drunk up to four units of alcohol, equivalent to two pints of beer or two-and-a-half glasses of wine. The 40 who had been drinking rated the people in the photographs as broadly more attractive than those not drinking.

"Everyone`s heard of the beer goggles effect but we wanted to measure once and for all whether a moderate amount of alcohol increases the judgment of facial attractiveness," said Prof. Barry Jone of Glasgow University psychology department.
"The increase in perceived attractiveness appeared to be the same for the ugly people as the pretty people, he said. "Attractiveness provides a very important signal of mate quality, it shows you have good genes and a healthy body."

"The beer goggles phenomenon is caused by alcohol stimulating the part of the human brain which is used to determine facial attractiveness, the nucleus accumbens", he said.

Experience the beer goggles effect yourself!

Dear Tom,

I realy did a bad thing this week, and I need to tell you about it, because I'm calling in a faver.

Two weeks ago, my brother Billy said that I should take the Patriots and I don't know what happend but even though they won, I ended up loosing.. (something about the over and the under) so then he adviced me to do it again and then give eigt points, and take you guys again, so I bilieved him and I told him to put in another bet for me.

So, I guess what Im asking you is, coould you please win Sunday and more that that- could you also win by 9 or 10 points?

Thanks buddy- I will owe you big time if you do this for me.

signed,
(Yor friend)
Duane Glasscock

P.S. Please show Adam this letter as well.

It all started with h's e-mail:

"Hey, Charles- We got this from Bill . Maybe you'll want to use it for your Testosterone Tuesday shot. Get a towel when you view it. : )
I can see why men like her.. Check it out "

beaming becomes electra.ppt

..and I replied,

"Nope- Sorry guys.. Fake implants (For non-medical purposes). ... Don't do it for me... Like someone dressing up for Halloween and sticking balloons in there, and then asking me to get excited over it. Guess I'm out of touch... Despite what my wife says, ("God, you guys!! They're just fatty lactose glands used to feed infants!") the breasts are major sexual organs, and they are more appealing when they are real, no matter what size... I would have no problem with a glass eye or a prosthetic toe, because they are not peripheral to the sexual act... h: Hang up the towel."

and then came your responses:
