    November 22, 2008 - Canada

    Footage of the large meteor that streaked across western Canada is broadcast on Canadian television. The meteor was seen on November 20th, and broadcast on 22nd.

Over the next seven days more than one thousand meteorite fragments were collected from the 10-tonne fireball, among them are two 13 kg fragments, scientists named the meteor Buzzard Coulee after the oldest-named geographic feature in the fall area.

    COMPUTER PUMP
    November 22, 1932 - U.S.A.

    The first U.S. patent for a computer pump was issued to the inventors, Robert J. Jauch, Ivan R. Farnham and Ross H. Arnold for their "Liquid Dispensing Apparatus" (No. 1,888,533). Their motorized pump both metered and displayed the exact gallons of gasoline or other liquid dispensed, and also accurately computed and showed the price in dollars and cents while delivery was made. The internal totalizer could be easily reset for any new price per gallon. It solved the problems of inaccurate delivery of volume from a visible type dispenser, and its necessary ready-reckoning card with quantity and cost tables, which needed a new card when prices changed. The Wayne Co., Fort Wayne, Indiana, marketed it from 1 Nov 1931.

    about Eyesight Myth and Fact

    Myth: Staring at a computer screen all day is harmful to the eyes. Fact: Spending the day staring at a screen can tire or strain your eyes, but it will not hurt them. Make sure lighting doesn't create a glare on your screen. When spending long periods at your keyboard, take a break now and then to rest your eyes to reduce fatigue. Also, don't forget to blink. Your eyes need to stay lubricated to feel comfortable. More vehicles
    about Stolen On New Year's

    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)

Once upon a time deep into an enchanted forest, was a beautiful flower garden. Inside of this precious flower garden was tulips of every color. Marigolds that reflected the yellow of the sun. Purple gardenias that glistened with the drips of the morning dew.

Deep in this magical garden were talking roses. Amongst these roses was a georgeous Red one. So as the story goes,the Red rose looked at the Blue rose and said, Blue Rose, oh Blue Rose how could you ever be as beautiful as I, your petals hang so low to your thorns.

Then the Blue Rose cried and then the Red Rose laughed. She then looked over at the Yellow Rose and said to her, Yellow Rose, Yellow Yose how could you ever be as beautiful as I, you don't reflect the rainbows of rain in the sky like I. and the yellow rose did cry. the red rose just snickerd.

Just then in the distance the Red Rose did see. The most beautiful White Rose bud growing in extravagance. delicate with grace. petals firmed with desire. Just as fury burned inside Red Rose. Jealousy took over the Red Roses heart.

The Red Rose suddenly began to speak. then instantly the gardener came by and plucked the little red rose from off her stem right out of the bush.
