Nandi is a giant Manta Ray that was caught in shark nets off the coast of South Africa. It was rescued and now lives in the Atlanta Aquarium. There are only three other aquariums in the world that could house a giant manta ray and those are in Japan, Spain and in the Bahamas.
Giant Manta Rays can get up to 26 feet from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing. Nandi is only 9 feet across but that’s still a lot of manta ray. In other words, it’s still growing. They can also weigh up to 6000 pounds. Man that’s one big fish. I guess you would call it a fish, wouldn’t you?
Door to door storage and moving companies are getting more and more popular. It’s a lot easier to have door to door moving that you pack your own stuff and they move it because you know what’s in the boxes you packed. They simply bring a ReloCube to you, you pack it with your stuff and they deliver it to your new front door. U-Pack is in good standings with the better business bureau too which is important.
Alabama announced that if it’s obese workers don’t lose weight, they are going to start charging them $25 a month for otherwise free insurance. Do I smell a lawsuit for discrimination? Sounds like grounds for a lawsuit to me. They tried this with smokers and had limited success so why would they think this would work with obese people? Both are an addiction. The world has to realize this and accept it. However there are some obese people that are overweight way because of medical reasons like a thyroid that is out of whack so what are they to do when medications haven’t helped so far? Are they to be punished too?
Southerners have always fried everything or seasoned it with fat back so what do you expect? It’s a southern tradition the way they cook. What the insurance companies are asking the people of Alabama to do is to change their whole way of cooking and eating. That’s going to be hard for them. I don’t think the state of Alabama should punish these people which in all reality is what they are doing. It’s almost like they are telling them they have to deny their heritage or pay a price. Wasn’t this country founded on freedom? So where are all of our freedoms going? They’re slowly being taken away by our government officials all in the name of ‘for our own good’. I guess they’ll start charging skinny people for being too skinny next.
I have found the perfect web site for anyone that has lost touch with a friend or loved one. People Finder is where you can search for someone by name, birth record, marriage record or even divorce records. The best thing is it’s not one of those sites that charges you an arm and a leg either. If you wish you could find someone, check out this site and you just might find them after all.
I found an article about a disabled turtle finding romance. This is news? This is something important in today’s world? I honestly don’t think so. There are far more important things that need to be addressed other than a turtle that lost the use of it’s back legs and after someone attached a skateboard to it’s underside, was able to find love.
We have monsoons that have killed many people. We have oil prices that are slowly draining not only our way of life but out pockets too. We have wars and injustices that need to be brought to peoples attention to hopefully stop some of it and yet a turtle made headlines in Jerusalem of all places. The most Holy city in the world and this animal was the most important thing on that day. I don’t think so. Just check out http://news.yahoo.com and see for yourselves.
