By emphasizing ‘comfy’ on a grand scale, Minnesota’s newest megachurch building attracts record-setting numbers of worshippers.
The church is offering cup holders for worshippers. The people at work don’t seem to like that idea – they don’t feel you should bring drinks into the sanctuary. But I think it’s a good idea.
What do you think?

WAXAHACHIE – Wildflowers may not be the only thing sprouting up along a 15-mile stretch of Interstate 35 in Ellis County this spring.
Seeds of an illegal plant were inadvertently sown after a police officer stopped a car with no license plate light early Friday morning and smelled a strong odor of marijuana. When the officer returned to his car and called for backup, the driver drove away, Milford Police Chief Carlos Phoenix said.
As several law enforcement agencies joined the chase, the fleeing driver tore open and threw 17 to 19 bags out of his window.
“There was marijuana flying everywhere,” Phoenix told the Waxahachie Daily Light.
After driving over a second set of spikes set out by authorities, the suspect finally stopped and was taken into custody, and he was “literally covered in marijuana,” Phoenix said.
Officers picked up two duffel bags, a backpack and three or four gallon-size freezer bags from the interstate, but the wind blew much of the su
Also, some people with police scanners heard that a man was throwing marijuana out of his car window and drove to the scene to try to retrieve it, Phoenix said.

No I didn’t get to cover that one… but it was a fun story none the less.

Ok.. so this is the third post on Bono’s speach at the National Day of Prayer. Sorry.
But for those of you who don’t want to read it, you can watch it thanks to C-Span.

Ok…
Thought I had better get in on this, Black Triangle has a link to the Best Blonde Joke Ever.

Microsoft evangelist Robert Scoble said he was thinking about buying a new MacBook from Apple because it will dual boot with Windows XP and OSX.
But he’s not happy with the new Express Card slot.
It gets rid of the popular IO port that everyone uses.

Why does this matter? Well, go down to Sprint and ask for an EVDO card. Or Verizon. Or Cingular. They all have them. I would say these are all now NECESSARY for a traveling businessperson. I just got one yesterday and I’ve said goodbye to Wifi forever. My friends are all buying them (Phillip Torrone showed me his running on his 17-inch Apple Powerbook at Macworld expo).
