Several psychotherapists told The New York Times in February that treatments are being developed for people who are excessively worried about their own carbon emissions being responsible for "global warming." More than 120 therapists are now listed as specialists in the field on Ecopsychology.org, and schools such as Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Ore., have created courses on counseling such patients.

So next time I go to Taco Bell I have to consult an EcoPsychologist before the gas kicks in so I won't have to stress out anymore?

Here's another one that will have you shaking your head.

Aron Pritchard, 27, was convicted of child endangerment in March in Hutchinson, Kan., after a jury declined to accept his explanation for his girlfriend's kids, age 2 and 3, being burned in a hot clothes dryer. Pritchard said he was just trying to show them they could have fun without necessarily spending money. [KWCH-TV (Wichita), 3-10-08] confused

I hate to throw a wet blanket on my own thread especially since everybody is having so much fun with it, but the gas (CO2) they are referring to is from the act of breathing not what issues from the nether region.

here's another gem for your enjoyment:

It is apparently becoming more difficult to recruit competent suicide bombers in Afghanistan because twice in a two-day period in January, clumsy bombers accidentally blew themselves up before they ever had the chance to take their targets out. One fell down a flight of stairs while on his way to an attack in the town of Khost, and the other's bomb accidentally exploded as he was getting dressed for an assignment in the town of Lashkar Gah (although the latter bomber did take three colleagues with him). [Agence France-Presse, 1-24-08]

Good help is SO hard to find these days. Darwin could write a whole chapter on the dead branch of suicide bombers on the tree of humanity.

I suprised there are any sucessfull suicide bombers. Think of the anxiety we get before a date, or a big game, or having to address a large group of people.

Now imagine you have a bomb strapped to your waste, I'm suprised they can walk at all.

Aww come on indy you and I probably agree on more things than either of us realize.

Anyway, back on topic.

A woman down here in South Carolina was arrested after she "forgot" her 6 week old baby and left him in the back seat of her car. She thought her friend riding with her had taken the baby from the car. The temp in that car must have been 105 at least. They had comments from her friends saying what a good mother she is.

Hi newinsouth, yes it's shameful how many infants die in cars that are left parked in the sun with the windows rolled up and locked. I guess some people have short attention spans or A.D.D. and loose track of what they are doing. I'll bet the number of pets is even higher.


The boss of a factory in North Korea was executed by firing squad before 150,000 people in a South Pyongan province stadium after he was convicted of the crime of making out-of-country telephone calls (November). [Daily Mail (London), 11-26-07]

Is everybody enjoying my thread?
