I have over 1000 books, of which around 220 are unread. At one book per week, it would take me over 4 years to read through them all.

whitehouse.ORG is not a porn site, nor is it an official website. Rather, it calls itself "Officious Website of President George W. Bush".

This might not be useless, though...

Whitehouse.com appears to have been taken over by some political organisation, instead of being a good, honest, down-to-earth porn site.

I'm not letting my children* see that kind of thing.

All primates sweat in a similar manner with sweat glands all over their bodies. Dogs and Cats also sweat but only through their feet.
