Bag of Randomness

- I can’t tell if I’m getting sick or is it just allergies. You just gotta love North Texas when it comes to allergies.
- Watched a Robert Ballard special on the National Geographic Channel the other night. It turns out when he said he was looking for the Titanic, he was actually looking at submarine wreckage for the Navy. He worked out some sort of deal with the Navy did did allow him to hunt for the Titanic after he finished working for them. It was really fascinating.
- How old is the Internet? Link
- Who says you can’t combine bowling and archery. Link
- I was watching the news about the fall in the Dow Jones Industrial Average last night and an analyst stated, “It’s as if the last 11 years haven’t happened.” That put things into perspective for me in how far the Dow has dropped.
- I can’t believe the heads of the big three automakers went to Washington asking for money and not being able to explain how much they need and what exactly would they do with it. Comic
- A tiny mechanic. Link
- SisterGeeding in the the David Letterman audience the other night. Before the show he took questions, but never called on her. Too bad, because she had a really good question: Do you already have a guess for what kind of pie your mother is going to make for Thanksgiving? In case you don’t know, every Thanksgiving Letterman has a satellite feed to his mom’s house and he tries to guess the pie that she made.
- Happy Goat. Link
- WifeGeeding noticed that the Arm and Hammer box that we put in the fridge use to say replace after 3 months, but now it says 30 days.
- MC Hammer needs to be on Dancing With The Stars.
- The new Cowboys stadium in Arlington keeps getting all these high profile events, and I can’t help but what a shame it is that the Stadium isn’t located closer to downtown Dallas and Victory Park.
- I can only name three of the Jackson Five: Michael, Tito, Jermain.
- But I can name all of the seven dwarfs.
- 40 Best TV Theme Show Songs of All Time. Link
- There was an episode of Cheers where Cliff was trying to name the seven deadly sins and confused them with the seven dwarfs. The thought of that scene still makes me laugh.
- Here’s a somewhat interesting article on NFL sideline technology.
- I’ve notice stores are starting to move towards the cattle call method to have customers check out. That is, all customers stand in one line (as opposed to multiple lines for multiple separate registers) as a greeter tells them which open register in a line full of registers is available. It may be more efficient, but I do feel like I’m part of a herd.
- A blog about stores that have open signs but are clearly closed.
- This map made me laugh.
- A darn cute picture. Link
