My wireless headphones have static. Use them for watching Netflix, Roku, antenna TV. I've tried moving the base around, changing channels, everything. Nothing helps. I'm ready to buy some Wired headphones, but I need about a 15 foot cord to go from audio receiver to couch. I've searched some on Amazon but not finding much with that long length of a cord.

If we see a full moon tonight here in the US, will there be a full moon on the other side of the world during their night-time? Do the people on the other side of the earth see the same moon phases we see here at night, when it is night-time over there? TIA.

I just ordered a tshirt that is anti Che Guevara. Just tired of watching all the twits wearing them totally clueless. I thought I better brush up on my facts before I wear it. Looking for suggestions on a good book on the subject. Note: Hope I did this right. It's my first vanity.

Some jokers who don't like the Democratic presidential candidate are trying to make his campaign Web site, johnkerry.com, the first answer to a search of the word "waffles" on Google, the No. 1 Internet search engine. They've nearly succeeded on the No. 2 search engine, Yahoo. By Sunday, eight days after the prank began, johnkerry.com was listed second among 703,000 results of a Yahoo search of the word "waffles." At the No. 3 search engine, MSN Search, johnkerry.com was also the second Web page result of a search Sunday for "waffles." On Google, johnkerry.com was not in the top 1,000...
