If you read our earlier post, you already know about the skiing story.
Here is today's Instant Breakfast (from DJM):February 9, 2007
On this date in 1934, the Balkan Entente was formed. Although "the Balkan Entente" sounds like a dance move, it was in fact an alliance between Yugoslavia (currently split into Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Macedonia (Republic of), Montenegro, Monticello, Vermont, Sheboygan, Bosnia and AND Herzogovina), Romania (still Romania, although for some time ruled by the USSR), Greece (Greece), and Turkey (game bird) against those wacky Bulgarians (amusing motto, given the context: Unity Makes Strength). The alliance held just right up until the time that everybody in the whole world decided to go to war. Again. In the Balkans. Again. So the alliance kind of deteriorated.Anyway, always remember the maxim: whenever there's a World War, Yugoslavia will be divide up into smaller and smaller pieces. By the end of World War VI, it's a good bet that "Yugoslavia" will be a collection of trillions of independently-governed molecules.
*****Thanks to DJM, we found out that ants do have aphid livestock (which means ants provide housing for little insects that they milk, not unlike humans with cows).
We found out that tomatoes are legally vegetables, thanks to the court case of Nix v. Hedden.Instant Breakfast was great on Feb. 8th, too:
February 8, 2007It's Nirvana Day in Buddhism. On this day every year, Buddhists load up on guns and bring their friends. It's fun to do (and to pretend). Although overboard, they're self-assured. Oh no; they know a dirty word.
*****Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello.
*****Instant Breakfast on 2/7/07:
February 7, 2007On this date in 1964, the English Beetle (Beatlus Liverpoolus Needahaircutus) was introduced to the United States. Officials everywhere worried that they would infest the land with their wacky desire to "hold [your] hand," and "love, love [them] do," and "joo-joo eyeball [they] one holy-roller." Actually that worry came later. Said officials needn't have worried, however, as the beetle (England spelling: Beautle) had no effect on anybody (1).
***** Unsubscribe InformationI bag production. I got walrus gumboot.
(1) except for anybody who ever played music afterward.*****
February 6, 2007On this date in 1934, there was a political crisis in France. I know, can you believe it? That never happens. Anyway, far-right radicals massed in Paris, attempting to overthrow the government. They were unsuccessful, although their job would be accomplished for them just a few short years later by another bunch of far-right radicals. From Germany. With itty bitty moustaches. The Nazis. I'll go ahead and spell it out.
*****On this date in 1998, Washington National Airport was renamed Ronald Reagan National Airport, and then was immediately illegally sold to Iran.

air jordan 2010 Spizike Stealth Detailed Images The Air Jordan Spizike combines Jays III-VI in as seamless a hybrid model as the sneaker world has seen. Parts from the Air Jordan 3 Retro of Black Cement Grey for Women III include the unmistakable midsole tooling and outsole, and normally, the elephant print heel and toe cups.On the Stealth Spizikes, though, these sections might appear to be black-on-black elephant print, but a closer look reveals air jordan shoes XX-style laser etching. Its a nice unique touch on one of the hottest colorways of the Spizike yet, so be sure to check out more photos after the jump. http://airjordanshoesol.com/
