In using much the same logic as this article, I have a new headline.

Stories about man-made global warming are killing about 500,000 per year.

I figure since they can just make up numbers then by damn, I can too.

Here’s some of my new statistics.

1. One in three will die from a disease that is directly related to global warming.

2. Birth rate is on the decline. Abortion? No. Global Warming. Yeah, it’s now killing our babies.

3. Global Warming is the reason why your drinking water tastes so funny.

4. Global Warming cost me the 9th grade spelling bee.

5. My podcast quality has been impacted by man-made global warming.

6. Why is it so hot? Global Warming.

7. Why is it so cold? Yep. Global Warming.

8. Global Warming is keeping me from reaching my potential as the number 2 man in a “Wildlife Style” barbershop quartet.

9. Global Warming kills at least 25,000 of my sperm per day!

10. Global Warming has killed Al Gore’s personality.

This story caught my eye on Slashdot. It seems that voter turnout in a recent election dramatically dropped. To the tune of 83%.

From the original story…

For the first time, Oahu voters had to use computers or the telephone to vote for their neighborhood board candidates and many people did not bother.
About 7,300 people voted this year, compared to 44,000 people who voted in the last neighborhood board race in 2007.

It begs the question as to whether or not this demonstrates some degree of voter fraud? Wouldn’t that be funny?

*** Concerning the Brass Balls Radio website ***

We are doing some “behind the scenes” transitioning. Some of the show links will not work. This is only temporary. ALL effected links will be fixed by the end of the day.

Thanks for your patience.

Due to monetary concerns, I’ve been forced to cut shows from my server. That means 2 less shows than I was working on (in part). It was a lot of work for absolutely no return.

One of the shows was a personal show that I really liked with a catchy title and all of that.

The other show was taken over by a partner. The show wasn’t making any money and I wasn’t getting any financial help with domain name, server bills, or finishing off shows (artwork, mp3 tags, uploading, iTunes, etc.)

I have one show that actually makes enough money to pay for an announcer and cover some of the server costs we have. I’m keeping that show.

Cutting shows from your line up and your life is tough. Cutting friends hurts as well.

In the end, it all comes down to our bottom dollars.
