Name: Viktor Emil Frankl , M.D., Ph.D.
Date of birth: March 26, 1905 - Vienna, Austria
Heroes are quite rare. They quietly evolve, making their mark upon the world. When they are gone, humanity as a whole is never the same. Such is the case with Viktor E. Frankl, professor of Neurology and Psychiatry, author of 32 books, including Man's Search For Meaning. This book is considered to be a classic. A survey done by the Library of Congress declared it to be among the top 10 influential books in America to date. Man's Search For Meaning is in its seventy-third edition, translated into at least 24 languages, and has sold over 9 million copies. Viktor Frankl takes the reader along with him back into a part of history many still find hard to comprehend...the Nazi death camps.

The Man from Snowy River
by AB 'Banjo' Paterson
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around
That the colt from old Regret had got away,
And had joined the wild bush horses - he was worth a thousand pound,
So all the cracks had gathered to the fray.
All the tried and noted riders from the stations near and far
Had mustered at the homestead overnight,
For the bushmen love hard riding where the wild bush horses are,
And the stock-horse snuffs the battle with delight.
From The LitiGator Silly-ass lawsuits, part 2
A wrongful death suit has been filed by the family of Beatrice Booth, an 83-year-old woman who was hit by a door in a Target store in Amityville, New York as she was trying to exit the store by using the entrance door. As another customer was entering, the door opened and hit her in the head. She died a week later of complications of a head injury. The claim: the doors were not well marked and were confusing. And they opened too fast. (from Newsday)
