My brain has been through a lot these last couple weeks (more on that sometime down the road I’m sure), but I still have no idea why this particular scam worked.

Someone at Heathrow Airport has spent a little too much time at Heathrow Airport. They have stopped noticing the ambient noise that is caused by people doing what you do at an airport. You know, hearing announcements, picking up your luggage, going through security, walking from A to B. So they thought “You know what …
Chain Of Fools
We were going to call this “MRI in the Mourning”, but I like my title better. Even so, have a song. I heard about this story of a dude with a weight training chain around his neck getting sucked into an MRI machine. I can only stammer and gape and wonder how this was allowed …

If anything is going to help me get out of yet another posting drought, it’s going to be the need to make Carin aware that hundreds of bees recently attacked a bunch of people and that nobody quite knows why it happened. Several dozen people were injured – with three rushed to hospital in a …
