Wierdie Of The Week Plus A Lighter Story...

Wierdie story of the week (two links):Exploding Toads Baffle ExpertsExploding toads baffle German expertsHave to wonder though, is this a new phenomenon or a recurring one that just hasn't been observed in populated areas before?On a lighter note (I think):Almost 150 yrs. ago, President Lincoln found it necessary to hire a private investigator - Mr. Alan Pinkerton. He was actually the beginning of the Secret Service. Since that time the federal police authority has grown to a large number of thr

Why do the atheists care what I believe?

Articles like this scare me a bit because of who they may help damn to Hell. A band of intellectuals is mounting a crusade against the belief in God. So I have to ask, "why do they care what I believe?" It isn't like I'm trying to take their time to try to convince them of anything so why should they think they have the right to take anyone else's time to argue against what I might believe? I fear for where such 'crusading' may lead the more impressionable youth of our world, especi

Who Ya Gonna Call?....

Is this a ghost in the spire? A GHOSTLY mystery has come to light at Halifax's Square Church spire, baffling council chiefs and workers. Last week, the Evening Courier reported how a pair of lovebirds could halt restoration of the historic landmark.But when steeplejacks zoomed in to get a photograph of the birds’ nest, they ended up with an unexpected snapshot.Foreman Barry Done says the digital snap shows a ghostly figure hovering in the steeple – and the find has worried council bosses so much

When Impossible Becomes Relative

A man was walking along a California beach and stumbled across an old lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and out popped a genie. The genie said, "OK. You released me from the lamp, blah blah blah. This is the fourth time this month and I'm getting a little sick of these wishes so you can forget about three. You only get one wish!"The man sat and thought about it for a while and said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii but I'm scared to fly and I get very seasick. Could you build me a bridge to

What'd I Tell You 2 Entries Ago...

Apparently the owner of the business that has banned smoking by employees already feels he has won and is ready to move on to new peeves. See quote of part of new article below: CHICAGO (Reuters) - The owner of a Michigan company who forced his employees to either quit smoking or quit their jobs said on Wednesday he also wants to tell fat workers to lose weight or else. A ban on tobacco use -- whether at home or at the workplace -- led four employees to quit their jobs last week at Okemos, M

What Is Up With Folks In The Uk?

Wardens get DNA kit to trap spitting drivers I could understand the reasonableness of this if all the spitters followed up with physical assaults , but doing DNA ID for someone who simply displays his bad attitude with spittle? Now if it extended to that might be a different story.

What I did on my Saturday night

My wife and I typically don't go out for entertainment on weekends since everything costs so much nowadays and most all venues are some distance away from where we live. But a new venue called the "Mockingbird Opry" had its first show last night (sort of a test run to see what attendance might be) in a small town just 15 miles or so south of us. One of the featured acts was a bluegrass group called the "Amite River Boys." Damn good show! I had a secondary reason for wanting to go since one

Well, I've been expecting this...

I've been expecting that the American public was going to be led down the garden path with all the assurances being given after the Patriot Act went into use and more electronic surveillance was being done. Everyone kept hearing how the average person WASN'T the target of the surveillance and need not fear that their conversations and e-mails would be "stolen" and potentially passed on to others. Well, now comes the first "official" to take the next step and say that the citizens need to accept

Way to go Dr. Gray!

Forecaster Blasts Gore on Global Warming "He's one of these guys that preaches the end of the world type of things. I think he's doing a great disservice and he doesn't know what he's talking about," Dr. William Gray said ... (about Al Gore). Well said, Dr. Gray. I've been pitching this for a couple of years now. Why should any rational human being take what Al Gore says as scientific truth when he has no credentials to support how he arrived at his opinion and has no response exce

Wanna Get Your Blood Pumping?

If you like good music that'll get your blood pumping, get a copy of the "National Treasure" soundtrack. Most of the pieces have a modern sound but they'e all performed by a large studio orchestra. For best results, play it on a powerful system with a good subwoofer and crank it up! There's a of really driving low-end that doesn't reproduce as well on a normal range player. (Don't intend to mislead anyone. The music ISN'T dance music. It's just that the smilies above were all I could

The Weekend Turned Bad!

Left last Friday for a convention down on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and got back today around noon. My wife told me that she couldn't get our dog Charlie to come out of his house and that he hadn't eaten his food from last night. Went out to check on him and saw almost immediately that he'd had some kind of seizure. Had to pull the back of his house loose to get him out. I hurried him to an animal emergency clinic but my worst fears were realized--he'd had a severe stroke or a similar massi

The Original Rolling Stones

Interestingly, it turns out I know a member of rockabilly group from the fifties that are now being recognized for their pioneering in that field of rock 'n roll. They called themselves the "Rolling Stones" long before Jagger, et. al. used the name. Read the details here . BTW, in the vintage photo, my friend is the guitarist to the right from the viewer's perspective.Here he is today:Forgive me Joe, hope you don't mind having your likeness shown.

The News Media -- a pet peeve I have...

OK, for as long as I can remember the media has talked about the Arab organization 'Hezbollah' with everyone using the same version of the name. Now that the organization is so much in the news, why have different news organizations suddenly decided to change the spelling they use? So far today I've seen 'Hezbollah,' Hizbollah,' 'Hizbullah' and 'Hezbullah.' So what's up???? Are the media now suddenly afraid they'll piss-off the Arabs if they spell the name differently from what the Arabs

The Birds And The Bees In The Cyber Age

Little Cyrus asked his dad one day, "Daddy, how was I born?" His father responded, "Ah, my son, I guess one day you will need to find out, anyway!Well, you see, your mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. :kickin:As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither of us had used a firewall, and since it was

Some thoughts...at the risk of offending some

Once again a tragedy of record-setting proportions has been inflicted on innocents within our country. And just like clockwork, the liberal media decries the event and hurriedly offers that increased control of firearms is the preventive for future events. I personally find most of the media reporting just 24 hours after the event to be sadly lacking in facts and heavy on the finger-pointing which, at this early hour, is a totally useless exercise. Already the media in Europe are giving all s
