Are people really this dumb?

GOTTA LOVE THOSE WARNING LABELS! I guess by now some people have gotten to the point where they buy certain products and use them accordingly, and pay very little attention the most of the things written on the labels. But have you ever taken the time to actually read some of these things? I know... Sign in to see full entry.

And now to blow your mind!

SOME PREVIOUSLY UNHEARD SENTENCES As we all know, there are 26 letters to our alphabet. These letters can be arranged in a certain order to create thousands and thousands of words, and those words can be arranged in thousands and thousands of combinations to create millions and millions of...

I guess squirrels are human too

THOSE AMAZING BREAD WARS In the years before I was married, I lived alone in an apartment. Next to my balcony sat a huge tree, which provided wonderful shade while I sat out there relaxing and contemplating the universe. And on occasion, from that same tree, I would get a visit from a squirrel... Sign in to see full entry.

Nostradamus never thought of these!

SOME PREDICTIONS FOR THE NEAR FUTURE I never considered myself to be an oracle, a seer, a fortune teller in any way. But sometimes it’s fun to “guess” how things may go in the future. And the way things are going, there’s probably going to be some bizarre changes to our species, and our... Sign in to see full entry.

Something to chew on

A FEW TIPS ABOUT TIPS? My wife and I enjoy dining out at least once a week, and we have a variety of restaurants we like to frequent, depending on our mood. Most of the time it’s Italian, sometimes Chinese, once in a while Mexican, and so on. It is extremely rare that we have any problems with... Sign in to see full entry.

And now

POOR ADVERTISING SLOGANS FOR SOME OBSCURE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES You may not have thought to purchase any of these products, or had an inkling to use any of these services, but if you did, I don’t think their marketing tag lines helped in your decision-making...

Oh those local ads

SHEDDING NEW LIGHT ON THE AMERICAN INTELLECT Not too long ago, I got together with a friend to watch a baseball game. During a break in the action, the TV station ran an ad for a local store, and it was one of the most bizarre commercials I think I’ve ever seen. Here’s how it played out... A woman...

About this Blog

Like the famous Roman stand-up philosopher Comicus once exclaimed: “I coalesce the vapor of human experience into a viable and logical comprehension.” In other words, I see, hear and read about a lot of peculiar things, try to make some sense of them, and then pass them on to you, hopefully in a whimsical but common sense way. Strap yourselves in . . . this ride can sometimes be a little bumpy! From the author of "The Hindering" and "Welcome To America-Society In Decline"
