Baby Rock Records

Sikegami has found another gem. Your favorite rock albums turned into lullabyes. What could be better? Okay, maybe a few things. But this is still pretty sweet. I would definitely go for Coldplay first.

Best Short Joke Ever

“Say No to Crack is having a little fun contest to find out the best short joke ever. Many have been submitted.For example:

A dog limps into a bar and says, “I’m looking for the man that shot my paw!”

What’s green, lives in your refridgerator and sings? Elvis Parsley.

Little Jonny went to the police claiming he was constantly beaten by his parents. Child services looked into it and found the whole family had abuse problems back generations. The judge didn’t know what to do! Finally, he realized the perfect solution. He gave Jonny to the Chicago Bears. They never beat anyone.

Ah, kindergarten humor. Precious!” Link

Useless Facts

Some of these are most interesting. And also some are maybe a tad gross. But I really like the interesting ones.

Sam, Jennene? This list strikes me as something that Rafael would totally dig.

A sample from each category:

• There is no word in that rhymes with orange, silver, purple, or month.

I’m Digging to China.

The question is this: If I dig a very deep hole through the earth, where will I end up??

Go dig a hole and find out!

Personally, I think there could be several answers for each one.  Why?  Well, for starters, I’m a scientist.  Seriously, doesn’t it depend on the ANGLE at which you’re digging?  That’s my personal belief, anyhow.  And until someone (say, another scientist, for example) proves me wrong, I’m going with that opinion.  Whatever the case, it’s fun to do!

(Thanks for the fun find, Sam!)

Wordie

“Wordie is like Flickr, but without the photos. Wordie lets you make lists of words, – practical lists, words you love, words you hate, whatever – and then see who else has listed the same words, and talk about them.

Words like eudaemonism, braggadocio, tribidism, cephalopod, contumacious, etc.”
I love this site. If, deep down, you’re a nerd like me, this is really addicting.

Profane

This is absolutely the most ridiculous thing I have seen in a while. And I don’t know if you know this, but I’m in the business of finding the finest ridiculous. Ridiculous is my middle name. I say “ridiculous” in my sleep. Sometimes people see me on the street and just say “ridiculous.”

I digress. If you would like a little help for your business, hire the “I See Jesus” experts to come “invoke the Holy Visage” through their “special prayer techniques.”

Oh, and they also do crop circles and images in cooked items if you prefer.

Become A Member Of Our Family

“A weird eBay auction:

“Here it is! The chance of a lifetime!!! Become a member of our family for 1 whole year!!! My wife, my daughter and I would like to invite you to make our family of 3 a family of 4 for a year! Here is what you get: You will become a brother, sister, uncle, aunt, grandma, grandpa, or another parent for a whole 365 days!

“You will be included in family photos in the house, in my wallet, in my wife’s wallet, all pictures displayed around our house… As far as at our home, you will be given your own room and spot at the dinner table at each meal. All of this will be documented with pictures and sent to you… We will even give you a gift at Christmas time and your birthday! How cool is this?”

The Chattanooga Whistler

My friend Lisa has found the best hymn album of our time. Of any time, really. It is by Cartter Frierson, who has been whistling for over 50 years (inspired by legendary whistlers Fred Lowery and Muzzy Marcellino).

“Every city and town seems to have at least one person who is always whistling throughout the day. In Chattanooga that would be Cartter Frierson. So his colleagues dubbed him “The Chattanooga Whistler.” After a few years of piano lessons, Cartter learned guitar at age thirteen from Fletcher Bright, lead fiddler for the renowned Dismembered Tennesseans. Famed string instrumentalist Norman Blake taught Cartter how to play banjo three finger style in 1964. Familiar with many instruments and polished on none, Cartter also enjoys playing harmonica, upright bass, and Alpine Horn, taught by Helmut Fricker of Vail Colorado. To Cartter, music is an uplifting tonic, an immediate stress-reliever, the cheapest therapy available. With whistling, your instrument is always close at hand: right under your nose. Cartter can also be engaged for special events.”

You can also find Cartter at iTunes. Yes indeed.

Please, PLEASE check it out. My personal favorites are Crown Him With Many Crowns, and Be Thou My Vision.

Man Trapped in Hole

What a sad day for this man.

From the website:

A pensioner was trapped upside down in a hole for four hours – finally being rescued by a passing postman who saw his feet sticking out.

Albert Hughes, 70, was adjusting the water flow of the sprinklers in his front garden when he fell head first into the hole which houses the water meter.

Passing postwoman Janelle Maury was delivering letters when she saw his boots and heard his muffled cries for help.
