![]() ![]() BruxismDerived from the Greek word meaning "gnashing of teeth," bruxism is the habitual, involuntary grinding or clenching of the teeth.

Though common and generally harmless, bruxism can cause damage in the form of cracked teeth, indentations, and wear. What drugs are known to cause bruxism as a side effect? More... Discuss |
![]() ![]() Demon Core Goes Critical (1945)The Demon Core was a plutonium core—used in nuclear testing at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico—so nicknamed because it resulted in the deaths of two scientists in separate accidents. In 1945, Harry Daghlian accidentally dropped a tungsten carbide brick onto the core, causing it to go "critical," or achieve a chain reaction of nuclear fission. Daghlian stopped the reaction, but died from radiation poisoning a month later. What happened to the second scientist nine months later? More... Discuss |

That interview was pathetic. I saw a woman on television who said she was voting for Palin, that she thought she could invite her into her home for "snacks." Since when does that qualify one for next-in-line to the highest office in the land? Shudder.
So was the interview with Charles Gibson. The woman clearly can't answer even the simplest of questions.
The thought of her being next-in-line for the office of President....scares me.
The idea of her being in the VP seat is scarey indeed! The scariest part is that there are those that support her.
