FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME... 1. In Buffalo, New York, there is a TV Weatherman who used to wear my clothes... 2. I have the uncanny (and often tedious) ability to remember obscure facts about old TV shows and movies. (But where did I park my car...?) 3. I used to have a Meckel's diverticulum until a strange man took it away. 4. Contains no harmful CFC's. 100% Natural (mostly). 5. Potrzebie. 6. There are only six facts you should know about me... | E-Mail from HELL This is some actual e-mail I recieved. I don't endorse the product, I just thought it was funny...

| WHENCE BYGRINSTOW... Back when rocks were soft and dirt as we know it hadn't been invented, people weren't very particular about names. A boy who made up and distributed none-too-flattering faux assignment sheets taking jabs at his lesser teachers needed a name with which to work under so as to go undetected and, strangely (or perhaps stupidly), uncredited. One such name was very long in the same way that a walk from here to Neptune is long. A short version of this name was actually "Bygrinstow", if you can believe that. Enter the Internet! (Don't worry, I'll wait...) Now that you've done that I can tell you: when we first got online ourselves we tried to come up with something to use for our e-mail, easy and clever and not-Bygrinstow at all. But all the clever ideas were rejected as already taken, and all we got in return were suggestions like "JWilson849" or the equally exciting "JWilson849". Sigh. In a purple perpendicular pusillanimous projectile pique of frustration (which took a week to clean up after) I typed in that now-classic-and-loved-but-then-obscure-and-tummy-flattening old hack of a name "Bygrinstow". And like all good computers do, it sucked up that name without so much as a "Are you really sure you want to choose a tummy-flattening, obscure name like that?" and carved it in stone. So we were stuck with it, obscure, easy to spell, makes eyes bug out, and all.And it just kinda stuck... If I ever find the full name it comes from I'll add it here. And if you want the stone the computer carved it on, its for sale on eBay... | More E-Mail from HELL This is some actual e-mail I recieved. I don't endorse the product, I just thought it was funny...

If you can't urinate, you will in a few weeks. How many people do you know that can hold it for a few weeks...? If you are urinating frequently during the night, that will stop. Willow Flower strengthens the prostate, gets rid of the swelling and detoxifies the whole area between the anal gland and the urinary track. Get started and watch. (you do not have to stop taking Sal Palmetto, do them both) We do not fully understand how this herb works but it has not failed yet. It comes from Germany and has been in the U.S. for a short time. If you have prostate cancer, it is strongly recommended that you take Willow Flower Herb among other natural healers to obtain wellness. For more info go to This is not a capsule or tablet. It is pure wild grown herb that you make tea out of. Tea is the best method to use in order to get maximum benefit from an herb. Warm liquid that extracts the nutrients from the herb while simmering is far more potent then ingesting a pill. Willow Flower Herb has a history of working well with women's urinary problems as well. The Willow-herb, until now hardly found mentioned in herbals, has since the first publication of this book in the German language started an almost triumphal march across Europe and even further, as a medicinal herb for disorders of the prostate gland. Since there are several species of Willow-herb and some people are uncertain which are the ones with the medicinal properties I will mention the ones that can be used: Pink Willow-herb (Epilobium parviflorum), Mountain Willow-herb (Epilobium montanum), Dark-green Willow-herb (Epilobium obscurum), Lance-leaved Willow-herb (Epilobium lanzeolatum), Hill Willow-herb (Epilobium collinum), Marsh Willow-herb (Eppilobium palustre, Gravel Willow-herb (Epilobium anagallidifolium). The Willow-herbs with the colour is reddish, pale pink to almost white. The flowers stand on thop of the long thin pod-like seed vessels. These later split, disclosing many silky whites hairs in which are embedded the tiny seeds. A chemist in Munich showed me an old pharmacopoeia where it was still mentioned around 1880. Drugs have pushed it aside. Many who suffer from a disorder of the prostate gland are able to find relief without an operation through the Willow-herb. If an operation has been performed, the Willow-herb tea relieves the burning and other complaints which often occur afterwards. But in any case a doctor can be consulted. In many cases operations can be avoided when Willow Flower herb is administered first. Infusion: 1 heaping teaspoon per ¼ litre of boiling water, infused for a short time. Only 2 cups a day are taken, 1 cup in the morning on an empty stomach, 1 cup in the evening ½ hour before a meal. Call 718-395-7379 to order.

"In the daily press we find a fierce epistolary battle raging between those who believe that the year 1899 marks the close of the nineteenth century and those who hold that not until 1901 shall we cross the threshold to the new era. It seems so difficult to understand that 1800, 1900, 2000, designates not the beginning, but the end of a century. It is evident that there never was a year 0, that the century must begin with a 1. A hundred years ago the same wordy war was waged; a hundred years hence it will be renewed." --from the Scientific American January 1900, as quoted in Scientific American January 2000 | This Space for Rent | |
