These are dark days indeed. The Associated Press, when describing an incident involving the current Miss Universe, a fashion show and a skirt she was wearing falling to her ankles, used the term Wardrobe Malfunction... which means that this turn of phrase is becoming more and more legitimate as a statement... sigh. Who would have thought that Justin Timberlake was going to contribute something to the English Language that was actually going to stick. I know the language is always evol...

On the island of Hong Kong, when you have a normal election, well, things move in the same way that they do in other democratic countries. But when there is a tie... well, that is when the real fun starts. In the event of a tie, instead of having a runoff election, the two tied candidates do something I thought was relegated to Shirley Jackson short stories and high school raffles.... they pick numbered Ping Pong balls from a bag... with the high ball winning the election. I guess they ra...

We're almost done... we just have one more list to go... and then there are no more song titles to present... at least in country music... LOL Won't you join us in singing: Queen Of My Double-Wide Trailer Redneck Martians Stole My Baby Refried Dreams She Feels Like A New Man Tonight. She Got The Gold Mine And I Got The Shaft. She Got The Ring And I Got The Finger. She Made Toothpicks Out Of The Timber Of My Heart She Offered Her Honor, He Honored Her Offer, and All Through the ...

I think that to a lot of people, the idea of life on other planets seems like either an inevitability, mere childish speculation or sheer lunacy. I will not try to convince skeptics otherwise. That being said... Anyone whose watched the movie Contact or The Arrival should have a decent idea of where the origin of this speculation begins... at a radio telescope. In Feb. 2003, scientists at the Arecibo, Puerto Rico Radio Telescope found a signal from a source 1000 light-years away... ...

Some told me about The Vocem Chart Locator of American Politics , and I found it so interesting(though a little crude in implementation) that I thought I would share it with everyone here. If you don't know what a Vocem chart is(and I didn't when I first heard about this quiz), it is a political chart that has a third dimension to it, so it can make differentiations based on fiscal, corporate and cultural issues, so instead of having a line(2 general areas) or a square(4 general areas) as...

New from K-Tel records! This excellent collection of song titles has been sitting on a hard drive somewhere for months waiting to be made available to you, the blog reading public, and for a limited time, they are being released. Read such funny titles as: I'd Rather Hear A Fat Girl Fart Than A Pretty Boy Sing If Fingerprints Showed Up On Skin, Wonder Whose I'd Find On You. If I Can't Be Number One In Your Life, Then Number Two On You If I Had Shot You When I Wanted To, I'd Be Out ...

I have always been enamoured with fortune cookies and the like. You know, things like Magic 8-balls and books of answers that you are supposed to open at random to get the answer to your question. Usually, the fortunes they give you are entertaining and sometimes they hit rather close to home. Of course, there are times when they hit the nail right on the head. I just had a fortune cookie tonight, and it had two fortunes in it. One was "Idleness is the holiday of fools" which I thought wa...

This week I thought I would check out the world of Television, as theSummer Olympics are over and the new season is slowly starting, so now seems asgood a time as any to look at site for people who like to be well-informed abouttheir television viewing. TV.Zap2it.com - http://tv.zap2it.com/ tv.zap2it.com has been one of my favorite television related site for a whilenow. I started reading it for the Alias updates, and the longer I was there, themore comprehensive the site se...

I love this story.... there was a guy in England who got ticketed for going 115 mph in a Fiat Punto and he successfully fought the charge by arguing that there was no way he could have gotten one up to that speed. Now, if you haven't seen a Punto, it looks like this: In all honesty, I don't think you could get one of those to go 115 mph if you strapped booster rockets to it and dropped it from space. The guy who fought the law and won was a law student who fully admitted that yes...

Many a joke has been made about country music, and seeing as I am not a huge country fan myself, most of them are rather funny. That being said, I have to admit that sometimes the title of a song just hits the nail right on the head, and is generally memorable... such as these titles. Some of them are funny, some of them are wise, and all of them are real titles. I want to hear these songs now! : Are You Drinkin With Me Jesus? Are You on the Top 40 of the Lord? At the Gas Station of ...
