You Learn Something New (almost) Every Day

My face is warm from spending four hours in the front garden. Not mine. Someone else's. Thank God for flower beds. Condo dwellers really don't get enough of that stuff.

A weird and random photo for your day.

Parachuting 101

I don't know anything about parachuting. I've never been parachuting. I've never even been parasailing. Heck, I've never been para-anything before. So I turned to google image search for answers.

I learned that:

1) Parachuting can be enjoyed naked. (Those with weak stomachs should look away.)
2) Parachuting is fun for everyone.
3) Antique parachutes are pyramidal.
4) Old and young enjoy the parachute game.
5) Always wear pink when jumping en masse.

This one appeals. I've ridden dorky rides like the safariquest before (heaven help us). Take a peak at Mount Ridesplace USA.

This blog comes straight from the mind of 14 year old girl. Amazing what you can find on the web. Amazing.

New word for the day: Borstal, meaning reformatory for delinquent boys. Borstal Prison, Kent, England being the location of the first such.

How three Jewish families lived underground for two years during the holocaust. A truly astonishing story.

Twas the night before Commencement and all through the college
Every creature was stirring, even the AV guy.
(who usually just took long lunch breaks with his door closed)
All the good little children with their gowns and their caps
Had just settled down for a pre-Commencement nap.
When the President came limping down the stairs with glee,
Crying, "Do it MY way. It's my damn party!"
His cabinet was scurrying and kissing his ass
And changing the rules for the 2004 class,
When all of a sudden and to their amazement
He fired a worker named whats-a-ma-face-it.
The cabinet applauded as his workforce groaned
Knowing their raises would be once more postponed.
k_sra and her boss were holed up in a panic,
Ironing stoles and becoming quite manic.
They'd taken every precaution and made every list
"This comes straight from the top!" their jolly President hissed.
"I want no students parking in MY parking lot!
If they try to park there they're going to get shot!
No reception is needed for these little cuds,
Instead, I'll have a big dinner for me and my buds.
The students are sloppy and they get in my way,
After all, Commencement is MY special day.
Let's all try to remember this one little fact;
Do what I say or you'll damn well get sacked."
And with this fair warning, he limped out of sight
And left the school to rot, all covered in shite!

The answer may surprise you. More at eleven!
Truth is, I couldn't find out. If anyone knows the biological explanation lemme know. You can stop the burn (supposedly) by saying the names of your acquaintances until the ear stops burning. The name it stops on is the culprit and you can go and smack them later. Not only that, according to our panel of old-wives experts, the left ear signals bad talk and the right ear good. Where do we come up with this stuff?

Also, did you know that the film Welcome to Collingwood is an almost frame by frame copy of Big Deal on Madonna Street? Don't think we don't know what you did, Russo Brothers.

How to fold a t-shirt like a pro. Eerie how good this is. My brother and I (in separate states) practiced several times to achieve the precision of the woman in the video. We couldn't. He got closest. Another friend in Oklahoma immediately roped a friend into a practice session when he saw the clip. It's like origami for your clothes!

Zebras.

It's just impossible to describe the gnawseous feeling of sitting around today in an office full of work and gnats, waiting for five o'clock and hoping it won't come because tomorrow is just another work day like the rest. I swear I will never take on a weekend job ever again!
