- Whooping cough is making a comeback and this new vaccine-resistant strain won’t help
- IUD’s on the horizon – We’ve posted before about Skyla, which is a smaller version of the already-available Mirena. But there are several other exciting options for IUD’s being studied now.
- Man quits job because of “666” on his W-2 form – This is not the first time he’s quit because of the devil’s number.

Re: the Microchips in dogs, one of my aquaintances just reposted an article from Christians Against Obama’s Re-Election facebook page claiming we’re all about to be microchiped under President Obamas health care program. Get a grip, people.
“You can take my balls, but not my freedom!” LOL
So, regarding Mr. Walter Slonopas, the guy who quit over the “number of the beast” on his W2 form…
…Do you think we should tell him what his full name adds up to if you use a=35, b=36, etc?
…Oops, my bad. It seems his name is spelled as “Slonbonas” in the video. Try a=36 (huh, 6*6), b=37…
Imagine what could be revealed if he analyzed all the digits on his W2 form…
I personally think that stay-at-home dude article is pretty rad. I might be biased though.
Amanda,
Wow, someone quite their job because someone accidentally gave him the number 666, on his W2 form? Talk about Satanic panic!
The answer is, of course, that he himself IS the BEAST!!!!
That horse playing recorder HAS to be fake. I DEMAND MORE EVIDENCE.
