Cobalt Gum...

I have seen all the hype about this gum so I decided to try it. I purchased for $1.50 the other night the blue gum, "Cobalt...A Cooling Peppermint".

Wrigley Announces Launch Plans for 5(TM) - New Stick Gum To Stimulate the Senses
"5 appeals to the senses and is the most exciting development in sugar- free stick gum since the launch of Extra(R) more than 20 years ago," said Bill Perez, Wrigley's President and CEO, while speaking to attendees at Wrigley's Annual Stockholders' Meeting Wednesday in Chicago.
Available in Rain(TM) (a tingling spearmint flavor), Cobalt(TM) (a cooling peppermint flavor), and Flare(TM) (warming cinnamon flavor), 5 debuts in a 15- stick envelope package, a first for the gum category.

"Teens, who are constantly seeking opportunities to experience something out of the ordinary, are also the most frequent gum chewers of any age group and account for one-third of all gum chewed in the U.S.," said Martin Schlatter, Wrigley's Chief Marketing Officer. "In our testing, teens and young adults have told us they love everything about 5 - from the unique tingling, cooling or warming sensations that accompany its delicious and especially long-lasting flavors to its bold graphics to its sleek, revolutionary packaging. 5 delivers an amazing new gum experience."

It came with 15 pieces of gum all nicely wrapped in pretty blue foil. It was good tasting and it did last for a long time but when I spit it out, it left a very bad aftertaste in my mouth. I did not live up to the hype that Wrigley’s has made with all the advertising that is on TV. The brand is called “5” and I chose Cobalt, I guess that I will try the other flavors to see if they give a bad aftertaste like Cobalt did. The gum I like the best is the Wrigley’s Extra Polar Ice.

Coincidence Is All?

 

---

This is actually really freaky!!
(mainly the end part, but read it   all first)
1) New York City has 11 letters
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb has 11 letters .
(The terrorist who threatened to destroy
the Twin Towers in   1993)
4) George W Bush has 11 letters.    

This could be a mere coincidence, but this
gets  more interesting:
1) New York is the 11th state.
2) The first plane crashing against the
Twin Towers was flight number 11.
3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers.
9 + 2 = 11) Flight 77 which also hit
Twin Towers , was carrying 65   passengers. 6+5 = 11
5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 =11
6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911.  


 9 +   1 + 1 = 11

Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make
up your own mind:
1) The total number of victims inside all
the hi-jacked planes was 254.  

2 +   5 + 4 = 11.

2) September 11 is day number 254 of
the calendar year.  

Again 2 + 5 + 4 =   11.

3) The Madrid    bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.
4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.  

Now this is where things get totally eerie:  

The most recognized symbol for the
US , after the Stars &Stripes, is the
Eagle. The following verse is taken
from the Quran, the Islamic holy book:

"For it is written that a son of Arabia
would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The
wrath of the Eagle would be felt
throughout the lands of Allah while
some of the people trembled in despair  
still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the
Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and
there was peace."  


That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.
Still unconvinced about all of this?!  


Try this and see how you feel   afterwards,
it made my hair stand on end:    


Open Microsoft Word and do the following:
1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight  number of the first plane to hit one of the Twin Towers .
2. Highlight the Q33 NY.
3. Change the font size to 48.
4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS  1  (I've done it for you.)

   What do you think now?!!  

Q33 NY

Bright drive!

I tried to recreate the pic from yesterday but i was to late as this one was shot @ 8.25am, not @ 8.00am. Perhaps i will try tomorrow morning.

As clear as mud...

According to a recent post on GameDaily BIZ, Comcast had said what excessive is. Here is the article. There have been several posts about this on Slashdot and other sites. So even if I were the biggest spammer in the world, I might not get banned by Comcast as long as I do not reach the 13 million Email mark!! So, we are looking at somewhere in the 500+gig a month area. Not too shabby if you ask me. It looks like they are the most lenient out of all of the major carriers.

Earlier this week, we heard a radio report that talked about a few people who were losing their high-speed Internet access through Comcast. The company cited that these users went above and beyond the average use of most users and branded the former customers as "excessive users." In what appeared fishy, the report said that Comcast would not define how the company defined the term.

Now that the three current next gen consoles offer online connectivity for downloads, competition and system updates, we were worried that our own personal "download every demo that will fit on the Xbox 360 hard drive" might get us banned too.

Charlie Douglas, a spokesperson for Comcast Corporation, called back to clarify what "excessive usage" means and why the company's actions to end its relationship with these customers is good for gamers. First, Douglas defines Comcast's "excessive use" as any customer who downloads the equivalent of 30,000 songs, 250,000 pictures or 13 million emails in a month.

In short, even if you played a marathon World of Warcraft session for weeks while downloading the massive amount of demos on Xbox 360 and sprinkled with the not so massive amount of demos on the PlayStation Network, you are still not close to getting banned.

Douglas said that Comcast's actions to cut ties with excessive users is a "great benefit to games and helps protect gamers and their game experience" due to their overuse of the network and thus "degrading the experience."

Comcast has been a big supporter of gaming for years with its Game Invasion news, information and game purchasing web site and its well-known G4 TV network, which televises some of gaming's biggest events.
