Have you ever heard that a dog "knows" when an earthquake is about to hit? 
Have you ever heard that a dog can "sense" when a tornado is stirring up, even 20 miles away? 
Do you remember hearing that before the December tsunami struck  Southeast Asia, dogs started running frantically away from the seashore, at breakneck speed?

Do you know that dogs can detect cancer and other serious illnesses and danger of fire? 
Somehow they always know when they can 'go for a ride' before you even ask and how do those dogs and cats get home from hundreds of miles away? 
I'm a firm believer that animals  - and especially dogs - have keen insights into the Truth. 
And you can't tell me that dogs can't sense a potentially terrible disaster well in advance.

Simply said, a dog just KNOWS when something isn't right .. . when  impending doom is upon us . . they'll always try to warn us.... !

Tributes to U.S. presidents have come in all forms -- take the Washington Monument, the Kennedy Space Center and the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, to name a few. And soon, if a San Francisco group has its way, there could be the George W. Bush Sewage Plant, according to The New York Times. A group called the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco has been collecting signatures to rename the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant after Bush upon his exit from office next year. The plan -- conceived in a bar -- would place a vote on the November ballot to offer "an appropriate honor for a truly unique president," the group told the Times. Supporters said that they have enough signatures to qualify the measure.

Irregular shift patterns and stress at the job causes the average worker to miss out on nine hours of sleep per week. Over a lifetime, the average worker loses seven years of sleep. That's the conclusion of a survey of two thousand adults in 25 professions by the Travelodge Hotel chain. Doctors lose the most amount of sleep of any profession. They average 5.6 hours of sleep per night instead of the recommended eight. That works out to losing two nights of sleep a week, or 13 years over their working life. Here's a rundown of the average amount of sleep per night people in various professions receive:

• Doctor - 5.6 hours
