From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A profound quote: "A counterfeit is the greatest compliment that anything that is real could have. Why do people counterfeit hundred dollar bills? Because, evidently, a hundred dollar bill is worth something. They do not counterfeit gum wrappers. The counterfeit is a testimony to the validity of the real thing." - Adrian Rogers (1931-2005)

Junglecat is a fan of the "Good old Days" where shows such as In Search of..., and other reality TV shows like the episodes of Arthur C. Clark's Mysterious World could be found on only 3 channels. I plan on doing some of my own photos in the field soon. Enjoy exploring Wikipedia!

[edit] Hurricane trouble

Hurricane Rita destroyed one of my favorite places to visit: Holly Beach, Louisiana. The original projected path of Rita was Port O'Connor, Texas. Holly Beach, aka "The Cajun Riviera" is now rebuilding.

[edit] The "Interesting and Amazing" section

• Kids, just say no to drugs! Don't do something like this guy: A Real Electrocution. POW! and OUCH! Yep, I bet that hurt.
• Would the Agence France-Presse publish a photo with your debit card info out on the internet for all the world to see? See for yourself! That was real smart.
• Would you ever think that you would need to call 911 for a medical emergency, and get this - from within a hospital??? Yikes! And she didn't even make it out of there! That is scary.
• Crash & Burn Baby! This is a cool collection of videos of wrecks put together with music in the background by Rob Zombie. Note: You will need a fast connection to view as it is 16.2 Mb in size!
• Is Windows Vista really as bad as you have heard some people say? This is a comical but somewhat realistic view: See for yourself. Yes... IT BITES!!!... Run from it while you still have a chance! Note: Big file - 9.28Mb.
