Gravity considered harmful.

I have a new hypothesis regarding how gravity works, and why it's befuddling the unified field guys so much. Before I make an absolute jackass out of myself rewriting physics 101, though, does anyone know of a good reference on gravity that's legible by a numerate layman?

UPDATE: Nevermind folks; it appears I've re-invented LeSage Gravity. Although there are problems with this theory of gravity, it's intuitively appealing, especially if you're one of those folks (like me) who don't believe in time.

Ice your phones!

Hi y'all,

Chris said something interesting to me that I thought I'd pass around. Nationally, EMS (Emergency Medical Services) personnel are being trained, when finding an unconscious, demised, or otherwise incapacitated person, to check their cell-phones for emergency contacts by looking for the acronym ICE preceding the contact's name. ICE == In Case of Emergency.

Marking your emergency contact in this manner takes all of 5 seconds, and could make the difference between finding out your spouse died, or getting to say goodbye.
