Recently a test was conducted on a cloth train seat on BART; Bay Area Rapid Transit, and a plastic train seat on SFMTA; San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, otherwise known as Muni. A supervisor with San Francisco State University's biology lab took samples from each seat for a study. The plastic seat on Muni had two harmless bacterias that could be killed with an alcohol wipe. While, the cloth seat on BART had both; fecal and skin borne bacterias that are immune to antibiotics. The BART seat also had many different types of bacteria and mold. After the seat were wiped with an alcohol wipe; the bacteria remained on the seat. BART has about 350,000 riders everyday; which kinda means that there are bound to be some sort of germs on the seat. So now knowing this, will you still sit down?

Tiki Barber, the all-time leading rusher for the New York Giants, retired at the end of the 2006 season. The next year the Giants won the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots, 17-14. And he is now coming out of retirement. Tiki Barber has 2-years remaining on his current contract with the Giants. Tiki commented, "After seeing how much fun Ronde is still having, it re-ignited my fire, and I'm looking forward to the challenge of seeing if I can get back to the level of where I was." Ronde, Tiki's twin brother, plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is currently in his 15th season. Tiki will most likely be released by the Giants and the head coach of the Bucs, Raheem Morris, said he wouldn't mind having Tiki on the team. Do you think that he should come back after taking a 4 year break and are the Bucs a good fit?
If you have played Modern Warfare 2 since Black Ops came out; then you know about all the non-sense that was happening online. Players were able to get head shots through walls, jump to the top of the map, be invincible, and call in any kill streak to their choosing. Almost every match had some player using a hack. Well now Infinity Ward has taken action. They recently put out a patch update for Modern Warfare 2 on PlayStation 3 that stops hacking online. With many players still playing MW2, Infinity Ward received many complaints about unfair gameplay. Personally I'm happy to hear that I can go back online and get pwn'd by someone who actually knows R1 is the fire button. I'm not a fan of Black Ops; and I can say that because I own it, but I haven't played MW2 since the hacking first started. If you want to get online and play with me; send a message to KOREAL19, that's me. :D
This isn't me and I know that this is on XBOX but it is still awesome...
