Sometimes the best things in life are free....

Hmmm.......

Tiger Woods has won the Masters golf tournament at Augusta National 4 times. He took the green jacket in 1997, 2001, 2002 and most recently in 2005.

Augusta National performed extensive renovations to the golf course in 1998 and 2003.

Augusta National is at it again.

snake venom...

...ever wonder why its soooo deadly? I'm using it in my chemistry research to chop up DNA... well, not just chop it up, more like mutilate (sp?) it! Of the two species of snake venom I'm using, both completely tear up DNA in to its basic units. Remember, DNA is the blueprint for everything biological. So you can imagine someone may not make it when a snake bite turns that blue print into paper shreds.

Will Smith

Okay, so I was watching some movies at the beach, and Will Smith popped up in a couple. Yeah, he's more famous for his tv role in the Fresh Prince of Bel Aire..... but he's done some cool movies also (and he raps... but lets not talk about that). Below I ranked his movies from the best to the worst, but I think I'm missing a movie or two. Let me know if you can think of them. (Also, I never watched Ali, but I figured it couldn't be worse then the ones below it. Also, I haven't seen his new movie "Hitch." It seemed like a chick flick... so maybe one of these days I'll get a girl to come over and we'll rent it. Thus, it's not ranked.

1. Independence Day
2. Men in Black I
3. Bad Boys I
4. iRobot
5. Ali
6. Bad Boys II
7. The Legand of Bagger Vance
8. Men in Black II
9. Wild Wild West

Why is 18 holes the golf tradition?
