Hey Einstein!!!! There is this little feature called copy and paste. You highlight the block of text that you want to copy, right click with your mouse, copy and then paste it on your address bar.

Thanks, Colombiche, for sharing this story... It does not surprise me that a Colombian was involved. Colombians are "la berraquera"!

And, on a more philosophical note, if there was some way to tally all the billions of acts of kindness committed everyday and weigh them on a balance with the acts of hatred, I would guess the ratio would be about 99 to 1 in favor of kindness. Got to go now and give my wife a hug and a kiss.... for the 99th time today!

Donde dice que no es permitido escribir en espanol?

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

Refugee in the news... Very corageous... but the Colombian guy is a refugee in Canada.... yet his picture is in the news... in a free online newspaper. I hope his refugee claim is not real or at this time whoever was "threatening" his life may now know where to pay him a visit.
