    Hi everyone:

    This article states that 2.9 (billion) magazines are thrown out without having been touched by a reader.

    Thank you Avengers for that very appropriate scan of the Watchtower.

    Exactly! It doesn't really matter what happens to the earth right now.... the damage being done is only temporary. The new system is right around the corner... the earth will make a full recovery at that time!

    I've been stressing over this very same thing over the past few weeks after recieving countless magazines.......errrr "college brochures" in the mail. And not only over things we don't read, but the things we read as well. I actually thought about going into advertising, but killed the idea once I realized that half of magazine content, if not most, IS advertisement. You would think that with the increased popularity of the internet, communication via paper would decrease somewhat, but it hasn't. Sure hopping in the bed with a book or mag on a rainy day sounds better than sitting in front of a computer, but at the same time, what's happening to our environment? It's going to shit. That's what.

    Well.... I suppose if we tried really hard, we could figure out what to do with all those magazines that are just lying around......

    For instance:

    Excellent Dust collectors:

    or a quick fix for those pesky chair legs that aren't quite level

    OR.... how about a fly swatter?

    OR... Did you forget to buy the Charmin?
