Last we heard, Knuuttila's campaign was not exactly a fund-raising juggernaut. Highlights of the calls included a screed against Mayor Wong, excoriation of Flanagan for failing to "bring home the bacon" to...Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:31:56 -0500http://www.hellofitchburg.com/2008/05/29/Todays_Timewaster_Stereogram_Tetris.htmlhttp://www.hellofitchburg.com/2008/05/29/Todays_Timewaster_Stereogram_Tetris.htmlI've been a fan of stereograms since I was a kid, but I had no idea that there were actually stereogram games. This stereogram version of Tetris is a blast - lose focus for just a second, and panic sets in (particularly if you're an infrequent tetris player).  The most important thing seems to be finding and maintaining the optimal distance...Thu, 29 May 2008 15:21:06 -0500http://www.hellofitchburg.com/2008/05/23/Awesome_Otis_Rush_Clip.htmlhttp://www.hellofitchburg.com/2008/05/23/Awesome_Otis_Rush_Clip.html Fri, 23 May 2008 08:18:00 -0500http://www.hellofitchburg.com/2008/05/22/Worried_about_being_shot_in_the_face__Try_my_Face_.htmlhttp://www.hellofitchburg.com/2008/05/22/Worried_about_being_shot_in_the_face__Try_my_Face_.htmlI'm 1970s Abraham Lincoln, and yes, it really is impossible to shoot me in the face*. Being shot in the face is one of the fastest growing crimes in America, victimizing over 500 million people a year and costing billions of dollars. So why do I say it's impossible to shoot me in the face? Because I’m absolutely confident that Face Protection...Thu, 22 May 2008 14:09:22 -0500http://www.hellofitchburg.com/2008/05/20/This_Year_I_Shall_Finally_Win_the_Longsjo.htmlhttp://www.hellofitchburg.com/2008/05/20/This_Year_I_Shall_Finally_Win_the_Longsjo.html Tue, 20 May 2008 13:00:57 -0500http://www.hellofitchburg.com/2008/05/18/New_Poll_How_do_you_feel_about_the_proposed_trash_.htmlhttp://www.hellofitchburg.com/2008/05/18/New_Poll_How_do_you_feel_about_the_proposed_trash_.htmlGo nuts.

First, I have a really hard time ignoring things in my peripheral vision. Second, I've never been able to sleep on a plane, and when I do pack reading material it's almost always something I think I should read (like An Analytical Approach to Discrete Mathematics in...Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:20:18 -0500http://www.hellofitchburg.com/2008/04/09/We_Live_in_Strange_Times.htmlhttp://www.hellofitchburg.com/2008/04/09/We_Live_in_Strange_Times.htmlYesterday it was the story of a gentleman who, while already under arrest for assault, tried to secure his release from two Leominster police officers by offering to "hook them up" with free pizza.Today, it's carnies breaking into a casket factory.And now this: Wed, 09 Apr 2008 10:55:30 -0500http://www.hellofitchburg.com/2008/04/01/Amazing_BBC_Documentary_on_Flying_Penguins.htmlhttp://www.hellofitchburg.com/2008/04/01/Amazing_BBC_Documentary_on_Flying_Penguins.html Tue, 01 Apr 2008 17:26:20 -0500http://www.hellofitchburg.com/2008/03/31/Context_is_Everything.htmlhttp://www.hellofitchburg.com/2008/03/31/Context_is_Everything.htmlAlert readers will note the banner ad at the top of the page, and astute readers will note the apparent disconnect between the content of the site and the content of the banners.
