Have you ever killed someone?

Most of us do things that we might not even think about. Or even think about what might happen as a result. Simple things, that may lead to something much bigger. Such as someone's death.

For example, imagine that you stop into your favorite corner gas station, and see a candy bar that you had never tried before. It looks delicious, and you have heard a few people say that they love it! So you go ahead and grab it, toss the cashier a few coins, and head back out to your car.

On the way out of the gas station, you eagerly rip open the wrapper, imagining what it will taste like. Then all of the sudden... Blegh! This is the most disgusting thing you have ever tasted in your life! You think to yourself "Self... How do these people make money from this crap?!".

Not really thinking about it, you spit the mouth full of crap out the window, and toss the rest of the candy in the trash. (Or out the window, whichever you prefer).

Aside from the lingered aftertaste that will haunt you for the rest of the day, you completely forget about that candy bar. But what you don't know, is that you have just contributed to somebody's final breath.

What the hell are you talking about Rich?!?!!

Well, imagine that the nice sized chunk of candy bar that you spit out the window ultimately draws the attention of a fairly decent sized rodent. Such as a stray dog. We will call him Fido. Fido sniffs his way into the middle of the street where the sticky treat is just begging him to have a taste. So he does exactly that. Plops his mangy ass right down in the middle of the street and starts munchin.

Along comes Susan. Susan is a very honest and friendly person. She always smiles, and says hello to anyone passing her way and everybody likes her. She is having a particularly good day today as she just got a promotion at her job. On her way home, she realizes that she needs to stop and get some gas. As she is nearing the gas station, she remembers that she had taken her wallet out of her purse earlier at work to stuff a phone number in it, and can't remember weather or not she had place it back in her purse!

She begins digging frantically through her purse while cruising down the street, only to realize that she cannot find it! She glances down into the purse for only a moment to make sure. Yup, the wallet is missing. Shoot! As she glances back up, her heart skips a beat as she realizes that good old Fido is sitting in the street about 10 feet in front of her... Susan is moving at about 45 miles per hour...

Ok pause...

Now I know you are thinking that Fido is a goner. 45 mph, 10 feet, sitting duck (or dog as the story would have it). It is destiny. But the plot thickens.

Susan being a die hard animal lover would never, ever in her life hurt an animal, and would rather die than plow straight over a helpless dog sitting in the middle of the street.

Well, today Susan will be spared the grief and agony of killing innocent little Fido. You see, Susan has very good reflexes. She immediately swerves to dodge Fido with a swift right yank on the wheel, screeching tires and all...

It is however a horrifying tragedy that Susan did not happen to notice 10 year old Billy riding his cool new bicycle down the sidewalk to the gas station, where he had planned on buying his favorite candy bar with his allowance.

Unfortunately the the last of his favorite candy bar had been purchased by someone else no more than ten minutes ago. And even more unfortunate is that Billy will never know that they were sold out...

Now, obviously it is not directly your fault for the tragedy that just happened. In fact, we could just go all the way back the the beginning of the universe to see what lead up to that moment.

So the next time you are sitting in your living room, watching the news about a tragic death in or around your area. Stop to think of all of the things that you did that day that may very well have helped lead to that very same place and time.

Are we all cannibals?!

Do not read this if you have a weak stomach!

No seriously. Every day we shed skin. Not enough to notice of course (at least not most of us), but enough to leave just a little bit of ourselves just about everywhere we go, and on anything we touch.

So imagine... Just about everything we eat has probably been touched by human hands at least once in the process of getting that food to our plate.

Although the amount of skin that would be transferred to our food by the handling of other people, I am pretty sure that some of it is consumed by us!

So here is my thought. In our lifetime, how much human flesh does the average human consume? Is it enough to technically consider us cannibals? And how much human flesh would one need to consume before they could or would be considered a cannibal?

Sure it is a disgusting thought, and of course most of us are not going to sit down and have a feast of human flesh, but am I wrong to think this?! I think it is true. Of course I don't know the numbers, and I really don't care to. This just popped in my head, and I thought I would inform the rest of you cannibals...

Secret Terrorist Messages!

Ok, so I have been getting these SPAM emails for some time now that make no imaginable sense at all.

Emails with titles like "blouse", and bodies like this:

What's your pleasure, squire?

old meet u 11 pm face done by ....

Best regards,
Elizabeth

And coming from an email like this 0881888fnqn@movicom.com.ar...

Now I am a skeptical kind of guy, so I am not going to start packing my bags, and run for the hills just yet, but I have my suspicions.

I get loads of these kinds of emails all the time. They have no point, they have no meaning and they are a complete waste of my inbox space.

I wouldn't jump to any odd conclusions like this if those emails contained a link to a Viagra or porn site, but they do not.

I might even have chalked it up as a dumb prank if it didn't happen so often.

I have Googled some of the subjects and content, and have seen that there are many people who apparently received these strange, meaningless emails and have no idea what they are!

So with the frequency of these emails, and the continued lack of relevance to anything, not to mention the SPAM like delivery system, I have come to the conclusion that these emails are actually coded terrorist messages!

It is really quite brilliant if you think about it. Send thousands, or even millions of these apparently incoherent emails to random people, making sure that your recipient email is included in your SPAM list. Most people just stare at it with a blank face, then trash it. Many will probably respond to it saying WTF are you tailing about?! But the recipient of your secret coded terrorist message can read his message with peace of mind that government spies are not going to bang down the doors of millions of people to find out who this message was really for!

Could I be wrong? Probably... Then again, I can't see any other useful purpose for sending these completely worthless SPAM emails.
