Wish you were here (a small sampling) (Mickey Z.)

Jan. 15, 2007 -- Estimates vary, but roughly 50,000 animal and plant species become extinct each year. That's more than 130 a day, about 6 per hour.

Here's a fun game to improve your math and reading skills (both come in handy when taking tests like the SATs): Time yourself as you read the list below and calculate how many species that were still around when you began reading have since become history. (Liberals are advised to read quickly so less species are gone by the time they're done.)

1. Interesting story.... at first I thought you were referring to the Pink Floyd song.....

Wish You Were Here...........

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
