I don’t know if this is related but having heads on pikes seems appropriate during an election year.

India has recently launched a space probe to Mars.  I can’t help but wonder if they are planning on opening a call center there.

A Senator down south suggests that Sexting might be a way of getting people out to vote.  He was rather old and probably confused as to what Sexting really is all about.  But, he does have a valid point.

A Mexican restaurant is now offering you the choice of having bugs in your food.  Personally, I prefer not having bugs in my food.  But, I guess if you want that authentic Mexican flavor, you get it with the bugs.

I  wonder if bug free costs more?

It seems that once again, colored contacts are being marketed again.  If you don’t like your blue eyes, you can have brown contacts.

I wonder if this works with people who have dark brown eyes?

A priest in Belgium is blessing automobiles.  While I had never considered having any of my cars blessed, I was fairly certain that at least one of them was cursed.

Mel Brooks was recently invited to put his hand prints in cement on the Hollywood walk of fame.  And, in keeping with his usual antics, he had a fake finger added to his hand so that he would leave the prints of five fingers and a thumb in the cement.

I wonder how many people will notice?

Google has developed a new type of spoon for people suffering from Parkinson disease.  It has a built in stability system which helps control the hand tremors of those using it which makes it easier to use.  Maybe next they will come up with a stabilizing cup.

One of the ads in a hunting catalog featured “throwing knives”.  Since the ad appeared along with shotguns and archery equipment, I had to wonder if throwing knives was an alternative way to hunt.  And, since they are sold in sets of three, I assume that you get multiple tries at your game.

Or, maybe throwing knives provides a past time while you are waiting for some game to pass by.  Or maybe you and your group can pass the time away at night while drinking and playing cards in the cabin.

Regardless, I think that “throwing knives” are an accident waiting to happen.  “Hey ya all!! Watch this!!”

I ordered a steak salad the other day in a restaurant.  When the waitress asked me how I wanted my steak cooked, I told her “medium rare”.  With a curled lip she stated that it would be warm and bloody.  I replied, “Yeah, like road kill.”  And though she looked horrified, I got my salad just the way that I wanted it.
