They took the lead out of pencils a long time ago,
I was wondering if anyone would point that out. 
We had a tremor here a couple of years ago, Birmingham was the epicenter and we live 25 miles away. It was quite alarming, but I tend to to talk about it. Its hard to tell a good story about your earthquake experience when you were busy in the bathroom at the time

I was just stepping into the shower when the Northridge Quake hit. Almost immediately the power went out, and it shook violently for a good minute or so. Everything on shelves, inside cabinets and closets, etc. fell to the floor. It took me a while to find my clothes and get dressed in the dark before I could start to determine how bad the damage was.
Happy Birthday John!! (JSolie)
Happy Birthday, the other John! (For some reason this one wasn't in my database. I gotta go add that now...)

and Eli ..
