hello again pals,
first off i'd like to thank all of you for your showing of support. you have all been very generous!
there is so much going on right now, I don't even know where to begin. As of tomorrow I think I've officially won the Snakes on a Plane fan contest. That being said, I've decided to split the winnings with igberd, who is #2 in the contest, but obviously the true #1 fan. If the contest organizers will have it, I want him to have the screening and I'll just walk away with the Sobe, that way everyone walks away happy.

now, on to business. I've been talking to quite a few different advertising places and things are looking better. I also got the new design for YTMND and I think you guys will really like it.
I haven't decided if I'm going to leak out more of the new design and layout before it has solidified more, but it's pretty damn good. It will be a lot of work to port the entire site over to the new skin but I'm going to try and get it done as soon as time allows.
I've received quite a few shirt designs, ranging from downright horrible to amazing, and within the next few days I'll give you guys the opportunity to decide which ones you want printed.
i am also getting an old friend to come up with a sticker design which should be pretty awesome as well. I will most likely include a couple with each shirt sold as well as sell them in stacks separately. When I get the design I'll post it up here.
More news in a couple days when I launch the big new feature I've been putting off for weeks. Also, if you haven't yet, please fill out the YTMND user demographic survey. You fellows will be pleased to know almost 10% of our users are female (or claim to be), maybe if you stop being so sleazy they will come out of the woodwork.

What the hell, The Teutonic Knights or Teutonic Order is a German Roman Catholic religious order formed at the end of the 12th century in Acre in Palestine. During the Middle Ages they were a crusading military order and wore white surcoats with a black cross. The order played an important role in the Middle East controlling the port tolls of Acre and made a first attempt for an independent state.[citation needed] After Christian forces were defeated, the order moved to Transylvania in 1211 to help defend against the Cumans. They were expelled in 1225, when attempting to create an independent state.
Following the Golden Bull of Rimini, Grand Master Hermann von Salza and Duke Konrad I of Masovia made a joint invasion of Prussia in 1226 to Christianize the Baltic Old Prussians. The knights were then accused of cheating Polish rule and creating an independent monastic state. After basing itself in Prussia, the order became involved in many campaigns against its neighbours, the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duc
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new
nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are
created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that
nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a
great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as
a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might
live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger
sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this
ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far
above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember
what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the
living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought
here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased
devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that
we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this
nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the
people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Believe me when I say we have a difficult time ahead of us. But if we are to be prepared for it, we must first shed our fear of it. I stand here, before you now, truthfully unafraid. Why? Because I believe something you do not? No, I stand here without fear because I remember. I remember that I am here not because of the path that lies before me but because of the path that lies behind me. I remember that for 100 years we have fought these machines. I remember that for 100 years they have sent their armies to destroy us, and after a century of war I remember that which matters most... We are still here! Today, let us send a message to that army. Tonight, let us shake this cave. Tonight, let us tremble these halls of earth, steel, and stone, let us be heard from red core to black sky. Tonight, let us make them remember, THIS IS YTMND AND WE ARE NOT AFRAID!
At high enough energies, Einstein’s theory of general relativity breaks down, and will be superceded by a quantum gravity theory. The classical singularities predicted by general relativity in gravitational collapse and in the hot big bang will be removed by quantum gravity. But even below the fundamental energy scale that marks the transition to quantum gravity, significant corrections to general relativity will arise. These corrections could have a major impact on the behaviour of gravitational collapse, black holes, and the early universe, and they could leave a trace - a “smoking gun” - in various observations and experiments. Thus it is important to estimate these corrections and develop tests for detecting them or ruling them out. In this way, quantum gravity can begin to be subject to testing by astrophysical and cosmological observations.

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got;
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?
All those night when you've got no lights,
The check is in the mail;
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail;
And your third fiance didn't show;
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name.
Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead;
The morning's looking bright;
And your shrink ran off to Europe,
And didn't even write;
And your husband wants to be a girl;
Be glad there's one place in the world
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to go where people know,
People are all the same;
You want to go where everybody knows your name.
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came
"Here's a thought: every once in a thousand times, the zooming text on YTMND's -actually- zooms towards me. Most of the time, however, it is just stationary. Does this happen for anybody else?" In IE7 at least, yes. Sometimes the text just appears, sometimes it comes on one line at a time. It's always been that way, but more often with pre-YTMND sites like itsatrap.net.
KaneRobot: I remember the time when I 1d a site (not downvoted, just 1d) and was e-venged on all my sites. Found out the author had done the same thing to a guy who 2d his site, decided to offset the evenge on the other guy's sites, then discovered the guy I helped decided to view all my sites and vote on them FAIRLY (2 through 5.) The best and worst of YTMND in one day.
Bill Cosby is one of the United States' most popular and admired entertainers, known for his wit and warmth both onstage and off. A veteran stand-up performer, he got his start working clubs and making comedy albums, then moved into television with a vanguard role in the 1960s action show I Spy. He later starred in his own series, The Bill Cosby Show, in the early 1970s, and created the humorous educational cartoon series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, about a group of young friends growing up in the city. Cosby also acted in numerous films, although none has received the acclaim of his television work.
BTW I'm female.
Does anyone know the name of this movie? Futuristic sci-fi, this guy has a robot wife, but she short circuits from some accident, so he tries to buy another of the same brand, but they're all sold out. Then he has to hunt down an old factory that carries that brand, but it's in a region full of criminals or something.
The Cosby Mysteries was a television mystery series starring Bill Cosby. It was Cosby's first television show since The Cosby Show (which ended in the spring of 1992) and lasted only one season (1994-1995). Rapper-turned-actor Mos Def appeared in several episodes.
The show only lasted 18 episodes, and was never successful -- probably because viewers could not take a drama series starring Bill Cosby seriously. This was lampooned in an episode of The Simpsons, where Homer angrily yelled at a movie critic: "you cancelled The Cosby Mysteries -- that show had limitedless possibilities!!"
Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway
You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast
And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass
It's so cool, it's so hip, it's alright
It's so groovy, it's outta sight
You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
But it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet
You want it all but you can't have it
It's cryin', bleedin', lying on the floor
So you lay down on it and you do it some more
You've got to share it, so you dare it
Then you bare it and you tear it
You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it
It's alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
It's magic, it's tragic, it's a loss, it's a win
It's dark, it's moist, it's a bitter pain
It's sad it happened and it's a shame
You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it
What is it?
It's it
What is it?...

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
