FBI wants palm prints, eye scans, tattoo mapping

Your weblog will be added to this Website Blogs Joined So Far: 253 Blogs Left to Go: 29,747 Tell your friends who blog about it, and urge them to send in their weblog as well. When the list reaches 30,000, a date and a word will be listed on the page. On that date, every weblog on the list agrees to make a single post with the word as the title. The content of the post should be about what you want for the world, whatever that may be. The purpose is not to make a particular political statement, but simply to make a noise. If 30,000 weblogs all post the same unusual word, it WILL be heard. Have you ever wanted to shout to the world? Here's your chance.
