NYC Freedom Tower plans found in trash (What the *&^#?)

Check out this report from Associated Press:

A homeless man has come forward with two sets of confidential ground zero blueprints that he says were dumped in a Lower Manhattan trash can. The man brought the Freedom Tower plans to the New York Post, which says the 150-page schematic is marked: "Secure Document — Confidential."

I can't believe this!!! You must be freakin' kiddin' me. Ever heard of a shredder you freakin' moron...

The documents are dated Oct. 5, 2007. They contain plans for each floor, the thickness of the concrete-core wall, and the location of air ducts, elevators, electrical systems and support columns. The agency that owns the World Trade Center site, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, calls it a serious security lapse.

Now what are they going to do? Re-do the whole thing from scratch? How many tax dollars have been wasted by this stupidity??? How many other secure and confidential blueprints are there in the trash cans around the country???? What if they get in the wrong hands??? Then what??!!!

Gamers make better surgeons ??!!!!! huh!!!

Came across this interesting article on CNET News.com covering the study published Monday in the February issue of Archives of Surgery that says "Playing video games appears to help surgeons with skills that truly count: how well they operate using a precise technique"

The study also mentions: "There was a strong correlation between video game skills and a surgeon's capabilities performing laparoscopic surgery".

I, for one, don't want my doctor to practice his game skills on me!!!! Jokes apart, its an interesting study!!!!
