Scientific American is a great magazine

Just wanted to compliment the folks at Scientific American for a great magazine. I was recently on a flight from MCO-EWR. I needed to do a few minutes of computer work, but each article was interesting and well written. I really like the detail that they provided even though some of it was over my head. I was sorry to have the flight end, it was an airline copy so I couldn't keep it.

Livestrong - Sure you should, but Lance Armstrong is a jerk

So USA today did a piece on tjhe pop icons of the year. One of which included the Livestrong bands from Lance Armstrong. Several reasons to hatethese little rubber bracelets.
  1. Lance Armstrong is a jerk, he left hiswife when he obtained his new fame to chase Sheryl Crow.
  2. So you gave$1 to cancer. Less the manufacturing cost and distribution cost they got 65 cents maybe 90, whatever - why not just spring for a whopping $10 and send it direct, oops then you wouldn't be able to say "I gave a dollar, I gave a dollar...."
  3. Lance Armstrong is a self absorbed moron - oh I said that, well it warrants saying again.
  4. Hey look stupid - it looks likeyou had a rubberband (gumband if your from Pittsburgh) wrapped around youhand and forgot to take it off.
  5. Just to feed off Hayden's Harangues - it make you look like a lemming.
