Wal-Mart Stores warned Friday that cuts to the nation's food stamps program late last year will hurt its bottom line.

Just imagine how much more it would "hurt" them if they had to pay their employees a living wage!

When HIV jumped from chimpanzees to humans sometime in the early 1900s, it crossed a gulf spanning several million years of evolution. But tobacco ringspot virus, scientists announced last week, has made a jump that defies credulity. It has crossed a yawning chasm ~1.6 billion years wide.

One R - as if it were spelled Febuary. The extra R is just for the spell checker.

Both. Saying Febuary is right up there with saying libary or nucular.

Our mother pronounced it Febuary. Only person we've ever heard say it that way. Many of us tend to say Febewary. Andy says Feb'ry (more like "feb'reh") and Gabe and Jess say Feb'yri. Iris says Feberary if she doesn't watch herself.
