The most amazing woman in the world - that would be my wife - was born on this day. Happy birthday, baby! I am, of course, the luckiest man in the world because, as George Costanza once said, “You coulda done a lot better than him.” Very true, but I’m grateful she chose me instead.
The Third Day/David Crowder Band concert last night was excellent. I will post a review of sorts later today or tomorrow.
Check out the following posts over at Scott Freeman’s blog. There’s some really good discussion going on in the comments as well.
I was checking out Relevant magazine online, reading through the “slices”, and noticed these:
A Japanese man has set the new world record for reciting pi, an astounding 100,000 decimal places all from memory. It took the 60-year-old mental health counselor 16 hours to accomplish the feat, shattering the former record of 42,195 decimal places.
That’s pretty impressive. I remember being proud of memorizing the 23rd Psalm and the preamble to the Constitution as a child. Not sure how useful it is to have 100,000 decimal places of pi memorized. Do you ever need it right off the top of your head? Conan O’Brien said last night that the only number he doesn’t have memorized is a woman’s phone number.
A recent episode of the conservative talk show The O’Reilly Factor featured a story about former Republican Congressman Mark Foley, who is facing an investigation after he sent dirty emails to several teenage male pages. The show accidentally labeled Foley a democrat in the early broadcast of the Fox News show. The error was fixed for The Factor’s late-night rerun.
Perhaps they’re so used to painting Democrats in a bad light, that they just assume any negative political story is associated with the Democrats. At least O’Reilly corrected it. Hannity would have probably argued that he really was a Democrat, participating in a conspiracy to disparage the good name of Republicans.
A mother in Georgia is attempting to convince county officials to ban the Harry Potter books from public school libraries. She called the books “evil” and said that they indoctrinate children in Wicca religion. A lawyer for the Board of Education said that if schools followed that logic, then classics such as Macbeth and Cinderella would also be banned.
She needs to have them remove any children’s books that include talking animals. If that’s not witchcraft, I don’t know what is. What an idiot.
Physicists in Denmark have made a breakthrough in teleportation through “quantum communication.” A team of scientists teleported particles of matter using light over a short distance. The bad news is that “beaming people up,” human “quantum leaps” and any sort of DeLorean-aided time travel may be years away.
Well, at least we’re making progess. If they can perfect this, maybe we can avoid future wars in the Middle East.
In the “strange search terms” category, someone found my site by searching for “Greg Naked Photo.” Let me just state that, as far as I know, there is no naked photo of myself circulating the internet. You can stop searching. And even if there was, you wouldn’t want to find it. Trust me.
