"Oh, hey. Y'all best be careful or I'm gonna sting you with my stinger." A recently released study claims that they may have found the answer to what is killing off bees: cell phones. Wait...bees are dying? Why haven't we heard about this. Oh wait, we have. All jokes aside, I find it hard to beleive that it's just cell phones on it's own. Besides, the actual test leaves much to be desired.For the study, a scientis placed a cell phone directly under a bee hive. "According to a story in The Daily Mail, the bees were able to tell when the handsets were making and receiving calls. They responded by making the high pitched squeaks that usually signal the start of swarming". Um...all I can say is 'duh'. There is something making a racket under their hive, so it's only natural that they would perceive it as a threat and swarm. You get the same reaction if you poke the hive with a stick. In fact, you can elicit a similar reaction out of a person if you place a cell phone under their ...

trying out Google AdWords
I got a gift card for Google AdWords in the mail today, and I figured I might as well give it a try. Not too many places will give you $100 free to use their site. I'm going to try three different ad campains to see what type of ad works better and for how much you need to offer for them...all while staying within the $100 for the month. Then I'm going to write an article for Technorati about the results. But, in order to pull this off, I'm going to need your help.The first of the ads is running right now: a simple text add promoting this month's giveaway. What I need for you, my readers, to do is to let me know where you see them at. What is the name of the site? What kind of site is it? Also, what did you think about the ad itself? What made you click it? You can simply leave a comment or send me an email. Any and all comments will help, and it will only take a minute of your time. ...
