An incredible, and mystifying, act of kindness from a total stranger!

THE LESSON IS: NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING IS VALUELESS! During a recent episode of the Antiques Roadshow, there was another amazing story that concerned a very old and very obscure painting that I would like to share... A woman came into the Antiques Roadshow with a very unique painting for an appraisal.... Sign in to see full entry.

HE COULDN’T HAVE MUNCHED ON THE SINGLES INSTEAD? Boy, I just love coming across these whacky news articles... And I love to share them even more! This one is for all you dog owners out there who sometimes have no choice but to leave Spot or Fido out of your sight for certain lengths of time. It... Sign in to see full entry.

It was strange at first . . . and then it got worse!

EVEN THE DENTIST OFFICE WAS AGAINST ME! I recently had a terrible “dental mishap” that I’m sure may make a few people cringe. The right side of my jaw swelled up, the gums under the lower row of teeth became huge and inflamed, and the pain was excruciating. It lasted an entire weekend. Of course I...

And now the LOVE for technology is out of control!

ARE THESE STUPID DEVICES ACTUALLY WORTH DYING FOR? The other night, my wife and I saw some amazing footage on the news of a scene caught on camera that took place in a train station somewhere in Brazil... Pieced together from the various surveillance cameras scattered about the platform, the scene... Sign in to see full entry.

When it comes to certain foods, I can understand the "disagreement"

AS ALWAYS, THE PRICE IS PAID LATER... A very Happy Monday to one and all! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend, and your Easter celebrations. My wife and I went to the home of one of my older brother’s for our annual Easter gathering and, having rather large families ( six siblings in both my family... Sign in to see full entry.

And you thought YOUR sibling rivalry was out of control!

THERE’S NO “BROTHERLY LOVE” IN THE BUSINESS WORLD! Here’s something I came across recently that I think some of you may get a kick out of...

A bizarre new trend coming soon to a grocery store near you!

FOR ME, IT’S THE WASTE OF MILK! Well, gang, here’s yet another stupefying article I came across recently that I’m hoping and praying is not a sign of things to come... Every once in a while, you may hear or read about some new trend, some new game, some new fad that youngsters ( and a handful of... Sign in to see full entry.

Is it worse when the person should have already known better?

I GUESS SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO LEARN THE HARD WAY! Here’s yet another bizarre little article I came across recently, and I guess you’ll just have to chalk this one up to... well, I’m not really sure what you can chalk this one up to! Irony?

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"
