Some people wouldn't give a second thought to squashing them underfoot but entomologist Ruud Kleinpaste predicts a doomsday scenario in a world without bugs. Known here and internationally as "The Bug Man", Kleinpaste says insects consistently get "bad press" but he can't imagine life without them. "About 80 per cent of plants are pollinated by insects and imagine if bugs didn't clean up all the crap from cattle, people or whatever. "Dung removal is a really important job and if you didn't have it, in two months' time you'd be up to your neck in shit." [ ... ] Still speaking with a Dutch accent despite migrating here in 1978, Kleinpaste said he never trapped insects in jars as a child nor did he do any experiments involving magnifying glasses and ants. In fact, his foray into the s

However I had a pleasant suprise just recentlly when I noticed that this website tomakemoneyonline.net has achieved a Google Page Ranking of PR3. Previously this site had a long standing PR of 1 and I’m not sure exactly when PR2 or PR3 status was achieved. After the lack of recent new posting, I’m putting the raising of PR status down to the work undertaken in achieveing good quality inbound links from quality directories and quality related websites.

As England goes smoke free, the first figures on compliance with the ban in Wales have been revealed.The Welsh Assembly Government figures show that local authorities in Wales have reported that 99 per cent of businesses and vehicles inspected during April complied with the smoke-free requirements of the legislation.The figures up to the end of April also show that no fixed penalties have been issued.The Chief Medical Officer, Dr Tony Jewell, said that the figures show the hard work by the Assembly Government and local authorities to raise awareness of the ban has paid off.Dr Jewell said: The introduction of the ban in Wales has gone smoothly and anecdotal evidence from licensees suggests that, far from having a negative impact on sales, the initial response to the ban has been that trade has been busier. According to research carried out by Beaufort, public support has risen from 71 per cent in March 2006 to 80 per cent in May 2007. We expect compliance levels to remain close to

“Freddy, Freddy, Freddy, Freddy” the crowd chanted long and hard as the Sydney Roosters celebrated their finest performance of the NRL season.

I’m pleased to announce that this website has just achieved a Google page Rank of 1. I have checked this with both the Google Toolbar and also the online tool at 9Dir.com which was also mentioned in my previous post Domains Popularity Checker.

Well, the near-impossible that is. Hester has gotten the perfect 100 rating in the "Speed" category in the upcoming Madden '08 game. No player has ever gotten a 100 in any category until now and you can bet that I'll be shoving this in Jay's face for as long as I can.Remember that post I did a while ago, where I hinted at how fast Hester is?? Well, that shit was right on the money son. Superman never got a 100 rating in speed, neither has The Flash. They both got a pathetic 99. But not Hester. He got a 100 and then he celebrated by kicking Superman in his ribs. Superman now wears Devin Hester underwear.Hester once challenged light to a race around the world. Hester beat light by 1 full hour. The result of that race is known as daylight savings time. Hester got all that speed at Miami. They say that speed can't be taught, but speed is a required class at the "U". The other required class is "beating Virginia Tech".Deion Sanders was the first player to play in an NFL game and a MLB g
