The Sarah Jane episode of Dr. Who didn't disappoint, and it was delightful to see both her and K9 again. I do think that if the Doctor had been a little less "devil may care", a lot fewer innocents would've been killed.

In other TV news, I was enjoying Charmed, until they added the blond "cousin oliver". See also the addition of the kid on Gilmore Girls. They're just counting down to the end.

Bob Ross Inc. has announced in March 2006 that they have filed a letter of intent to license to Joseph Hatcher's AGFRAG Entertainment Group to develop exclusively worldwide video/computer games based on Bob Ross' creative, unique and easy to learn painting techniques and TV show properties.

Right on. Happy Little Trees! "We don't make mistakes, we just have happy accidents." I love that guy.

Is it true that 1 human being out of 5 is a Chinese farmer? There are a lot of 20% breakdowns on google.

A few -

1. one in every five Americans are currently infected with a sexually transmitted viral disease.


2. One in every five Americans, experiences some type of mental disorder each year


3. The bacteria that cause meningococcal disease are carried by about one in every five people.


4. One in every five people in Nairobi is HIV positive


5. About one in every five people have genital herpes


6. one in every five people in Jordan have made pledges to UNICEF


7. One in every five people lack access to safe drinking water.


8. one in every five people on the planet is a Muslim.


9. One in every five people in Seoul owns dogs or other pets.


10. Mild side effects of the Japanese Encephalitis Virus Vaccine occur in about one in every five people who receive it.


11. one in every five people has a reading problem


12. One in every five people in the developing world is chronically undernourished


13. By 2030, one in every five people is likely to be 65 or older


14. one in every five people who work for the State of California works for the Department of Corrections


15. one in every five people in the world is surviving on less than $1 a day


16. One in every five people with sight problems has another disability


17. One in every five people with HIV is a prison inmate or a former inmate


18. In Michigan, nearly one in every five people is out of work

To the best of my knowledge, I don't fall into any of those groups.

I'd say I know folks that fall into group #1, #2, #4 (but not from Nairobi), #5, #6, #8, #9 (in Seoul), #11, #13 (I think GP falls into that group... I'll be 61), #14, #15, #16, #17

It's really hard to find a house painted green in my neighborhood. I have yellow, many shades of blue, pink, white, and gray... but no green. Also, I've found no stray kitties in my walkabout... Seester Kelliebellie gave me a challenge! I like it, but it may take me longer than I had anticipated.
