Worth a Mention
Feeling a little claustrophobic? That's because the earth's clouds have moved a little lower by around one-percent a year during the first decade of this century. With fewer clouds at very high altitudes, researchers think this may be earth's way of cooling itself, slowing the effects of global warming. Source

You're (almost) Everything I've Always Wanted -- MARRY ME!
A recent survey found men are much more likely than women to consider marrying a good woman they are NOT in love with. Even more astonishing, 21% of men would consider marrying someone that didn't even turn them on! Conclusion: Men are only too willing to settle!
Why? A healthcare consultant explains that for men to marry for the sake of marrying is an indication that they're willing to sacrifice company, support and security over love and true attraction.
Oh, and if you're looking for your boyfriend to give you a ring, and he's in his 30's, be patient. Men are eager to marry in their 20's, but not so much in their 30's. Good news -- they're back into the idea in their 40's.

Joke of the Day
"Dad, where did I come from?" asks this 10-years-old.
The father was shocked that a 10 year old would be asking a question like that. He was hoping to wait a few more years before he would have to explain the facts of life, but he figured it was better a few years early than a few days too late, so, for the next two hours he explained every thing to his son.
When he got finished, he asked his son what prompted his question to which his son replied, "I was talking to the new kid across the street and he said he came from Ohio, so I was just wondering where I came from."
