"monkey butt," it's a blue collar term used by riders to describe the soreness, itching and redness that occurs when you ride and sweat on a motorcycle for hours. If your butt is so sore that you have to walk bowlegged like a monkey, you have Monkey Butt!
How can I prevent it?
Use Anti Monkey Butt Powder. The powder absorbs sweat and reduces friction, the two leading causes of Monkey Butt.
Will this cure monkey butt?
No, Anti Monkey Butt Powder can help prevent the soreness, itching and redness when used as directed.

David Blaine Video Feed Roots Out Iraqi Guerrillas Oct 14 2003 by Jim Bauman
Eyewitnesses didn’t know what to expect in Baghdad’s central square. The Real America Display Company, a subsidiary of Halliburton Corporation, had been working for two weeks erecting “something” under a black tarp four stories up. Finally, the moment had arrived. After speeches and band music, the tarp was dropped. And there it was, a Jumbotron!
But, the second surprise was the image on the screen. Live video of David Blaine, the magician, in a plastic cube! The crowd gasped. Some in the crowd grew surly and began swearing in Arabic and English. Suddenly, ACK-ACK-ACK...the sound of automatic weapons fire...bullets ricocheted off the screen. American soldiers tussled with civilians holding the rifles just fired and led them away.
“Yes! This new reconstructive effort in Iraq has been successful in rooting out violent elements in the society here,” said Paul Bremer, Presidential Envoy to Iraq. “The military has arrested anyone who fires at the bullet-proof giant screen. Attacks on Coalition forces are way down since its unveiling.”
At his unkempt and dusty university office, Dr. Kukla von Kukla, noted sociologist said, “There’s something about David Blaine in a plastic cage which evokes unbridled hostility or intense boredom leading to narcolepsy. There seems to be no middle ground. You remember what happened at Blaine’s Tower Bridge location? Some people threw eggs, bananas, Victory fries, and golf balls at him. Others slumped into a fetal position holding their clothing like a baby blanket and snored away.”
Media magnate Rupert Murdoch has bought the rights to the Blaine video feed. With it, he’ll create a cable show, The Sleep Channel. “Until today, the only natural sleep remedies for insomniacs were to read a book about double-ledger accounting or about a day in the life of an actuary. Now, we’ve found the cure!” said Murdoch.
Even Mayor Bloomberg of New York City sees merit in the Blaine social phenomenon. “The Sleep Channel will be broadcast in Times Square. With this new technology, we hope to nab violence-prone individuals on the Square before they commit a murder or rape,” said the Mayor. Ha Ha Ha!
Found the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy international site. Tons better than the US one. you can go through the site and find all the secrets, sorta like a treasure hunt, I haven't found them all yet myself, need to find one more.. Pretty addictive game in there too. Navigate to Fun -> munchies
BODY: As Earth Day approaches, here's where and what to recycle.
ELECTRONICS
FURNITURE
APPLIANCES
PLASTIC BAGS
Broken VCRs, plastic bags, empty printer cartridges, obsolete cell phones... Most people's garbage is filled with stuff that should be recycled and some things that are downright hazardous to the environment. But who has time to do the research about where to recycle it? In honor of Earth Day on Friday, here is a list that will get you started.
We're going beyond composting and curbside recycling. This is for people who want to squeeze the most out of their trash. To save time, team up with friends and neighbors to gather stuff and divvy up driving and drop-off duties. Or organize collection points at your school, business, community center or place of worship.
A new state law goes into effect July 1 making it illegal to throw a computer monitor or television set in the trash. Why? A standard 15-inch monitor contains more than 2 pounds of lead. A TV can contain as many as 12 pounds. Circuit boards contain lead solder and chromium, mercury and other metals that should not be buried in a landfill or burned.
If your computer worksand is relatively new, donate itto Minnesota Computers for Schools, which refurbishes computers for classrooms. Check www.mncfs.org
Take obsolete or broken electronics to an electronics recycler, which charges a fee. The state's largest, Asset Recovery Corp., removes lead and lithium batteries, recycles metal, sends plastic to the landfill and ships glass to be made into new monitors. Circuit boards go to Canada and Sweden, where copper, gold and other metals are extracted. At 35 cents a pound, the bill to dispose of two heavy laptop computers, a Macintosh CPU, a portable phone, a broken VCR and a CD player came to $35.10. Drop-off hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at 150 State St., St. Paul; 651-602-0789.
Here are several options, if the furniture is in decent condition.
Try thrift stores,such as Good Will Industries or Disabled American Veterans. It's best to call ahead to describe your item since thrift stores have become pickier and often will not take items with scratches or stains.
Catholic Charities Furniture Warehousepasses on furniture free to families in need. The warehouse does not take desks, sleeper sofas or anything ripped, stained or broken. Drop-off hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at 1910 Suburban Ave., St. Paul. Pick-ups offered for three or more items. 651-222-1787.
Appliances, such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers, contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which deplete the ozone layer if released. Other appliances, ranging from washers to water heaters, may contain mercury and PCBs. For these reasons, many appliances must be handled by a certified appliance recycler.
The area's biggest recycler, J.R.'s Appliance Disposal,8980 Minnesota 149, Inver Grove Heights, charges $10 to drop off most appliances. Pickup adds $30 to $45, depending on location. Hazardous materials are removed, and metal is sent to a Newport facility to make rebar. Drop-off hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Check http://www.jrsappliance.com
Vasko Disposal Solutions,309 Como Ave., St. Paul, charges $24 for a refrigerator or any appliance that contains refrigerant and $16 for anything else. Pickup adds $20. Vasko also accepts a variety of other materials. Drop-off hours are 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Check http://www.vaskorubbish.com
For other places that will accept or pick up appliances, call your county or Eureka's recycling hot line at 651-222-7678.
More than a half million pounds of plastic bags were recycled by Twin Cities residents last year as part of a new "It's in the Bag" program sponsored by Supervalu, the Minnesota Office of Environmental Assistance and Minnesota Waste Wise, an affiliate of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce.
Bags are sorted by adults with developmental disabilities at Merrick Inc., a nonprofit organization, and sent to Trex Co. in Virginia, where they are mixed with wood waste and made into boards for decks and patios. It takes nearly 3,000 bags to make a 16-foot board.
Bring bags to collection bins at any of the nearly 100 participating grocery stores in the Twin Cities, including Byerly's, Cub Foods, Kowalski's Markets, Lunds and Twin Cities Natural Food Co-ops. The program accepts clean, dry and empty bags (handles or string ties removed), including bags for dry cleaning and newspapers. No zipper bags, food wrap or bubble wrap. For more information, check http://www.mnwastewise. org.
BATTERIES
Some batteries contain dangerous metals, such as mercury, silver, lead or cadmium. Size isn't the best guide -- some of the tiniest batteries are the most hazardous.
Common alkaline or carbon zinc batteries, used in toys and flashlights, no longer contain mercury and may be thrown in the trash.
Rechargeable batteries,such as ones in cell phones and cordless power tools, often contain hazardous metals. If you have a nickel cadmium, lithium ion, nickel metal hybrid or small sealed lead acid battery, do not throw it in the trash. The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corp. (1-800-BATTERY or http://www.rbrc.org
Small button batteries used in wristwatches, hearing aids, calculators, cameras and other products should not be thrown out. Most stores that sell them, including Radio Shack and Target, will take them back. Most counties accept them at their household hazardous-waste collection site.
Service stations are requiredby law to take back automotive lead acid batteries.
CELL PHONES
Never throw away a cell phone. They contain hazardous materials. Plus, they often can be refurbished and given away to elderly people or domestic violence victims or sold to a growing market overseas.
Most wireless retail storesaccept old phones and give a portion of the proceeds to charity. Sprint, for example, donates a portion of the proceeds to organizations that help people with disabilities.
The Body Shop, including locations at Mall of America, Rosedale, City Center and Southdale shopping malls,collects cell phones that are then reprogrammed to dial 911 and donated to women's shelters or are resold with profits given to domestic violence programs.
Check local schools.Many groups collect cell phones as fundraisers. To set up your own collection fundraiser, check http://www.greenfund.com
PRINTER CARTRIDGES
In Europe, 80 percent of ink jet cartridges are remanufactured and resold. In the United States, only 20 percent are refurbished. Here are several ways to keep cartridges out of landfills.
Most office-supply stores will acceptused printer cartridges, and some, including Office Depot, will sweeten the deal by tossing in a free ream of paper or discount on a new cartridge. Epson, Brother and Canon are not accepted.
Post offices in the Twin Citiesstock prepaid mailing envelopes to use to send in an ink jet cartridge for refurbishing.
If you want to set up a free collectionat your organization or business contact the Recycling Association of Minnesota (651-641-4560 or http://www.recycleminnesota.org ) or Minnesota Waste Wise, an affiliate of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, (651-292-4650 or http://www.mnwastewise.org ).
To collect cartridges or toner cartridgesas a fundraiser, see the Web sites under cell phones above.
FLOURESCENT BULBS
Fluorescent bulbs give more light and use less energy, but they also contain mercury. So do high intensity discharge (HID) lamps. Minnesota law does not allow them to be thrown in the trash.
Many hardware stores and county hazardous waste siteswill accept fluorescent bulbs for a fee. Print a 50-cents-off coupon from http://www.xcelenergy. com.
