I’ve added a new joke to the Jokes page that was submitted by my Mother. Called “What I Learned From My Mother,” this joke offers a fresh perspective on all those things your Mom used to say to you when you were a kid. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!
I spent most of Sunday afternoon in front of the big TV watching the PBS series, Frontier House, back-to-back-to-back-to-back. The show takes three modern-day families and transports them to the middle of nowhere in Montana and challenges them to live for five months like a homesteader in 1883. They had to build their own house, raise their own food (livestock and planted), cook meals on wood stoves, chop wood (and lots of it), and gather hay for the upcoming winter. It was like a cross between Little House on the Prairie and Survivor, with all kinds of psychological issues and double-dealing. I would recommend the show to anyone who thinks they could have lived “back in those days.” This may be the one that makes me finally send in my pledge.
I just read this story on the CNNSI Web site. It seems that a person in England who makes his living diving for golf balls in ponds at golf courses has been arrested and jailed for six months. You can check out the story by clicking here. I’m guessing that the judge (or magistrate) in this case was a member at the club and dropped quite a few into the pond.
I want me one of them remote control rats. Did you see this story about putting electrodes into the brains of rats and being able to control them remotely? You can find the story by clicking here. Imagine a world where you could terrorize friends, families, and neighbors with remote controlled rodents. Think of the adolescent possibilities of sending a video camera-enabled hamster into the girl’s locker room. And oh yeah, these little plague carriers could actually save lives. What a world we live in!
