Oh great, now everyone's going to think that "Couch Potato" and "Bob" were singles.

Um...Down Syndrome?

I hope this isn't a stab at Yankovic.

Also, what's with the picture? When I think Down Syndrome, I definitely think power tools!

Where does it say that, Ryan?

I looked through the whole article and couldn't find anything on Down Syndrome.

Hey, my sister has Down Syndrom

tws, when I clicked on the link Kristine provided, it went to an article about Down syndrome. Weird. There's nothing wrong with an article about Down syndrome, mind you, but I don't think it was intentional that the article apparently changed without Kristine knowing it. Also, Ryan, what's so wrong with showing a picture of a kid with Down syndrome using a power drill? It explains that he is assembling a bookcase if you click on it.

Btw, I did see the Al article earlier today. It seemed pretty thorough to me.

Well, um, ok. Why are you getting mad at me? I'm just saying that I'm frustrated that Al's article wasn't featured all day long. I'm not sure if articles are usually featured all day long, but, even if they're not, Al deserves more than half a day.

Ok, that makes sense. I guess the time allotted for Al to be featured ran out, and another one replaced it. I do like the picture on Al's article site, I've never seen it before.

I totally understand why he got mad at you, Ryan. Your sentence just didn't sound right the way it was worded. I kinda still don't get why posting that particular article would be a slam against Al. Now that you've explained it, it makes a little more sense. Being mother to a mentally impaired child myself, I am sensitive to issues like this. Glad you clarified.
