I thought that might catch your attention. Well just for that, you dirty minded perverts, you can keep reading ! *********** The xenos knocked on the door. I opened it and observed a strange little man who clearly suffered from xanthodontous. He saw me looking and spoke, "The condition was caused xenogenously. I use saffron...

Volks Wagen

Yes, I know, another double letter posting, but hey, who could resist the obvious here? After all, the VW Beetle was ubiquitous, until it wasn't, and now it is again. The car of the 60's hippy revolution and a rival to only the mini as the coolest car of all time. The original Beetle production...

Under Pressure

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uuzmub5PXNQ Extreme pressure can turn a lump of coal into a flawless diamond, or a perfectly average person into a complete basket case. Why do we do it? Why do we put ourselves in situations of extreme stress or pressure? Sure, sometimes these situations just happen, but many times, we are the architects of our...

Time

Time - that strange truth of the physical universe. It is absolute - a second is a second, a year is a year. Unless you are flying close to the speed of sound out and back to the edge of the Universe, time has the same value wherever you are in the world. Except it...

Rambling Rant

Rambling Rants eh? Okay, so where to start? Well, the typical conversation starter will work: one thing Canadians have in common with English (apart from a hatred of the French – unless you’re French Canadian of course, in which case this hole is getting deep real fast. Time to stop digging!) – is they love...

Peace and Quiet

This one is for anyone who has ever been a parent 🙂 Get out of my sight Just close the door Leave me alone I can’t take any more I need some time To find my feet I need some sleep I’m just dead beat Why can’t you shush Must you be so loud Just...

Orange

We all know the old riddle: which came first, the chicken or the egg. The more intriguing question is this: Is the fruit named for the colour, or the colour named for the fruit? And why are there no rhymes for orange? It's the strangest thing. And what's even stranger is that this website managed...

Newfoundland

I spend a fair bit of time in Newfoundland. At least, this year it's headed that way and likely from here on out, but we can't ever know for sure. A few years back I was in Mississauga a dozen times in a year. And then it was Toronto, saaying in this swanky hotel steps away...

Maccie D’s

Pop Quiz: What happened this day in 1955? Well yes, this is the day that Abraham Lincoln died from a mortal wound inflicted by a vampire he was hunting (what? Didn't you see the film). Oh, okay then. He was killed by an assassin’s bullet, fired by the infamous John Wilkes Booth. I’m guessing this...

King & Lion

I'm not cheating. Much. This post is not about Lion King and I'm reversing the words just to get K and L in the right order, so we are good there. But yes, I am cheating by wrapping two posts into one but I'm allowed a little lee-way. Daily posting takes its toll, you know?...
