So, I have finally reached level 23 after what seemed to be an eternity. It took me almost a hundred more submissions to do it, but at least I earned it! The system glitch that shot everyone up numerous levels in no time really irritated me. I went from level 18 to level 22 just by posting a couple of blogs and forum posts. It still irks me to see another user at a higher level with less than two hundred submissions.

How many of you enjoyed this week's episode of Lost? The show just keeps getting better! I wasn't sure I'd like the addition of the freighter crew, but I do. It's a positive change from the "how Ben is going to screw us today" storyline. I also liked that the show delved more into Juliet's past. She seems almost human now. Thank goodness for giving us ONE series that hasn't been affected by the writer's strike!

As for American Idol....eh. I agreed with the outcome of the results, with the exception of Asia'h Epperson. She should have lasted a couple more weeks, and certainly deserved to be there longer than Kristy Lee Cook. But, that's the way the cookie crumbles. I can't wait until the Beatles songbook is released to the contestants. That should be a great show.

Anyway, here are more dumb laws for you. I hope you enjoy them!

Kentucky

- One may not dye a duckling blue and offer it for sale unless more than six are for sale at once. (I like all my blue ducklings in bulk, anyway.)

Fort Thomas, KY

- It illegal for a woman to drive a car unless her husband is waving a flag in front of it. (Indy 500, here I come!)

Maine

- You may not step out of a plane in flight. (Darn it. What if I REALLY need a cigarette? Last time I tried to open a window on a moving plane, they added me to a "no-fly" list. Discrimination? I think so!)

South Berwick, ME

- It is illegal to park in front of Dunkin Donuts. (I assume it is for the same reason that you can't park in a fire zone...)

Maryland

Baltimore, MD

- It's illegal to take a lion to the movies. (What about tigers and bears, oh my?)
