My family and I went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks the other day at the local movie theater. Located in an outside mall, it has very nice curb appeal and the interior is equally luxurious. There are not too many seats per screen and the chairs are big, comfortable and recline. The movie was a few laughs, but there were more to be had.
The movie had its moments, but this is a kids movies and kids have to get up and go to the bathroom. My three year old daughter and I excused ourselves as the Chipmunks were just about to… whatever we are on our way. I carried her out as not to interrupt for too long while making an exit. She liked the way the path lights made her pink shoes glow orange and would likely stop to appreciate it.
The public restroom, to a young child, must be very intimidating. Especially when the hand dryer sounds like a 747 taking off, blowing scraps of paper around in a whirlwind of germs, not to mention the strange wall potties not often seen by girls. Privacy and seating was priority one. In to the stall we went. When seated, the auto flush sensor was at her head level and ‘beeped’ in recognition of her presence. I stood impatiently by waiting for the magic to happen, then Whooosh!, she leaned forward, activating a suction that could’ve brought down the Titanic. Surprised, she gasped for breath and hung on to the sides of the seat like a cat. By this time her posture was upright as we both started laughing uncontrollably. ‘Beep’. “Finish up”, I said, eager to get back in the theater. She replied, “Daddy, I…Whoooosh!” again with the flushing.
We laughed as we washed our hands and all the way back to the movie. “I didn’t push that button, daddy, not that one, not me.”, she kept saying. The movie was pretty good, but the look on her face stole the show.

Amberg, Germany - Scientists have finally developed, and accidentally released, the first active apple virus. It has the capability of traversing IP networks and the world
wide web, even Web 2.0. The virus was apparently dropped at 00:01, 2008 and saturated the internet in seconds. A German physicist and biologist was reported as saying, “Es tut mir leid, aber das ist aber schade.” Which means,”I’m sorry but, that’s a shame.”
The virus strain was apparently keep in the lab under study for several months before a technicians energy drink spilled in the lab, washing the virus in to a Gigabit Ethernet card. When asked, “How could this happen?” He replied, “Ja, Es macht nichts. This translated to, “Yes, It doesn’t matter.
Its effects are unknown at this point. A spokesperson for the Ip Virus Association (IPA) declined to comment on Tuesday.
I was in an airport within the states recently and noticed that if you are a member of certain airlines “reward programs” you can go through the fast lane of Federal security. Is this right?
