Here’s something that’s cool, that I just came across today….maybe I’m slow.
(WARNING: play with this away from work, asy you could find yourself blowing an hour on this and not even realize it.)
If you’re away from a computer or phone book, and need to find a phone number (or lots of other information, for that matter) and want to avoid the $1.50 charge most cell companies charge for 411 directory assistance, you can text message a search from your cell phone. (If your cell provider charges for text messages there would be the minimal cost for that.)
By sending a text message to Google (46645), Yahoo (92466), or 4INFO (44636), along with a few words and/or numbers about what you’re looking for, you’ll get a return text message within seconds with the results.
For example, I typed in “video games 28212″ and amazingly received a message in 10 seconds with the names, addresses and phone numbers of video game stores in and around my zip code.
Granted, lots of people don’t have the slightest clue about how to send a text message. It’s not that tough though. Go find a 12-year old to show you.
The uses for this, both personally and professionally, are limited only by your imagination. Each service has a list of shortcuts to help you. Google’s is at http://www.Google.com/sms.

I went into a bathroom stall I had frequented at the start of the semester to hear the intense additions to a religious topic bubbling up from the stalls. It began with someone saying that Catholic Priests should be allowed to marry, so that they would stop anally raping choir boys…
I said “Maybe if the choir boy outfits weren’t made so tight and sexy…” to which someone replied “Maybe if the nun outfits were made more tight and sexy…” to which I replied “Maybe if God didn’t make the act of love evil” which was too much for so many shitting Christians to bear…them filling the entire wall surrounding my comment with desperate defensive lead…
God has deemed the act of love evil….this is not a reasonable God. From the replies, I gathered that people were saying that this law isnt a part of the NEW CHRISTIANITY, or rather, that this is just another section of the Bible they choose not to attend to. The fact is, this Bearded man can never admit what is under his robe while presiding over us on his Throne of Gold. He is disguisted by the cock and all of its messy, animalistic functions. The good Christian is, like God himself, to pretend that Fucking does not exist…and the truely pious Christian would, ideally, believe it doesn’t, thus dissassociating himself, not only from the dirty act, but those pesky, throbbing thoughts of the act as well…
The fact is….is that reasonable people have come to understand that nature, and all which comes to us naturally, cannot be deemed evil and that sins, and all the awful eternity of burning and prodding which cometh with them are subjective and, like most other things, subject to the shifting currents of fashion and culture. Good and bad will always be categories we place on an outside, natural world which continues budding and coursing with unfathomable grace just the same, with or without them.
