Earthquake shakes Ontario and Quebec

A 5.5 magnitude earthquake struck the Ontario and Quebec regions at around 1:41PM Wednesday June 23, 2010 sending people streaming out of office buildings.

There are reports the quake was felt in Barrie, Michigan, Newmarket, New York, Ohio, Ottawa. Some people are saying they felt the earth rumble in cities across the province, including Windsor, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.

nasa opisina ako (ika-limang palapag ng gusali) ng bigla na lamang lumindol at isang malakas na pagyanig ang ang aking naramdaman. akala ko ay nagbibiro ang isa kong kasamahan sa trabaho na hawak ang sandalan ng upuan ko habang nakikipag-usap sa akin ng oras na 'yon. bigla na lamang nagsigawan ang iba ko pang mga kasama ng "LUMILINDOL! LUMILINDOL!" at maya-maya pa ay tumahimik at halos lahat ay nakikiramdam kung ano ang susunod na mangyayari. tumagal ng may 30 segundo ang pagyanig ng lindol, mabuti na lang at hindi na ito nagpatuloy.

It's Hell to be Old

An 85-year-old man was requested by his Doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam.
The doctor gave the man a jar and said, 'Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow.'
The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day.

The doctor asked what happened and the man explained, 'Well, doc, it's like this -- first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing.

'Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then with her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing.

'We even called up Arleen, the lady next door and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin' it between her knees, but still nothing.'

The doctor was shocked!
'You asked your neighbor?'

The old man replied,
'Yep, none of us could get the jar open.'

Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!!

No wonder more folks are dying from cancer than ever before. We wonder where this stuff comes from but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer causing incidents. Hmmm. Many people are in their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, 7 days a week. As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and ill. Please pass this on to as many people as possible. Guess its not too late to make some changes



Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!!
Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.
Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.

Here's why:
According to a research, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin
(carcinogen - take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car).

In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells.
Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer.
Can also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50mg per sq.ft. A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene.

If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level.

People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.

Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver.. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

So friends, please open the windows and door of your car - give time for interior to air out -dispel the deadly stuff - before you enter.

Thought:
'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.'
