Miscellaneous: July 2008 Archives

First off, Happy Fourth of July everyone! It's nice to just chill out and have very little to do. We are going to a bar-b-que tonight, and having a friend over tomorrow night for dinner. We really tried this year to do little to nothing on this long weekend. We need the rest! Sometimes, when you have a smaller work week, it's a bit more difficult to get through. You still have the same amount of work to get done.

I thought I'd share this with you. It's a bit humorous and tickled my funny bone. Hope you enjoy.

THE American Family Association has a strict policy to replace the word "gay" with "homosexual" on its news website - but it created a problem with sprinter Tyson Gay.

The association's computer's auto-corrected the US sprint star's name to Tyson Homosexual.

Here's an extract of an Associated Press story as it ran on the association's OneNewsNow Christian news website:

Tyson Homosexual was a blur in blue, sprinting 100 meters faster than anyone ever has. His time of 9.68 seconds at the U.S. Olympic trials Sunday doesn't count as a world record, because it was run with the help of a too-strong tailwind.

Here's what does matter: Homosexual qualified for his first Summer Games team and served notice he's certainly someone to watch in Beijing.

"It means a lot to me," the 25-year-old Homosexual said. "I'm glad my body could do it, because now I know I have it in me." (source)
