Drlar Since: Aug 08 710 El Paso, Tx	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Oct 7, 2009 Dumb Google, don't they know the barcode scanner can't read barcodes on computer screens? you'll have to print the screen then read it on paper, not very "enviro-friendly" and it will probably read "Google"

Tom Tom Saint Paul, MN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #5 Oct 7, 2009 We have barcodes so you can scan your own items at the checkout, putting cashiers out of work, and then waiting for someone standing there to get their butt over there and swipe their card to remove the error, cause the barcode was on the wrong item anyway. Now the error person is a specialist and all it did was cause, was to make people lose their jobs and never even lower the price.

That show wasn't very good. Bar codes are too close to Nazi concentration camp tattoos. It will be a micro chip in the back of the hand like Demolition man.

Daily Horoscope for May 18

Cancer

Love could catch you by surprise today. You might be strongly attracted to someone who isn't your usual type at all but who makes your knees go weak all the same, or you could get caught up in an illicit relationship that's exciting because it has to be kept a secret. If you're already involved with someone they'll need plenty of freedom and won't appreciate feeling emotionally tied down. You need to let them off the leash for a short while!
