  • There was a shark attack in Hawaii recently.   This surprised me because I thought there weren’t any sharks around the Hawaiian Islands because of something relating to a coral reef.  And then it hit me, I was told that bit of info before my family vacationed there the summer before I entered the fourth-grade, and I’m sure it was one of those lies to alleviate my fears of going in the ocean.
  • That reminds me of another story of my ignorance and this is embarrassing.  During my spring semester of my freshman year in college, I needed a sociology credit and took a class named Sociology of Marriage.  It was a bit of a popular class because sex was often discussed, and since it was in the context of academia and God, you weren’t sinning.  Well you know, kinda.  In one class, the instructor was going over the female anatomy and pointed out the urethra and its use.  The girls around me noticed the perplexed expression on my face and asked what was wrong, and I told them that I didn’t know women urinated through their vagina, that the vagina was strictly where babies catapulted from.  Another girl inquired as to where I thought urine in females came from I said the anus (good time for a TICKET drop for you KTCK listeners).  The back of the class (yup, that’s where I sat) erupted in laughter when she said that would be one heck of a stream.

  • It thinks I’m 34 and you can try it out here – How Old Do I Look –  Engadget Article:  Microsoft can guess your age using facial recognition
  • Some days I find Kristen Wiig very attractive, and other days not so much.
  • Last night’s ‘Big Bang Theory’ had Sheldon’s mother who’s a fundamentalist Christian from East Texas.  Her character gave me two big laughs.  When Sheldon asked her how the loins were fed on the ark, she said they were fed by drowning sinners.  In reference to apologizing to someone after a verbal fight, she said the Christian in her makes her turn the other cheek, but the Texan in her makes her want to shoot her.
  • I have no interest in the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.  I also have no interest in the NFL Draft, which is not like me.
  • President Obama has no sons, as did his predecessor, as did his predecessor’s predecessor.  So the last First Son our country has had was actually George W. Bush during his father’s administration, which ended in 1993.  That’s about 22-years the U.S. has gone without a First Son.
  • Yesterday, UnitedHealthcare announced a partnership with three telemedicine companies to cover video-based doctor visits just as it covers in-person visits. It’s the future of medicine.

    • He said there’s talk of a Pollos Hermanos becoming a real restaurant, though he wouldn’t be associated.
    • His favorite episode he wrote for ‘The X-Files’ just might be my favorite, “Bad Blood‘.  Gosh, that episode sure was hilarious.
    • He thinks a spin-off backstory series of Gus Fring would be a good idea.  Man, I’d love to see that happen.

    Agreed on the Big Bang jokes. I also chuckled when she called Sheldon "lion chow" and when she "apologized" to Leonard's mother by saying "I'll pray for you."

    Count me in with those apathetic about the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. I've never in my life watched a single boxing match from start to finish, or any combat sport, for that matter. I just have no interest in watching two humans beat the hell out of each other for money.

      The only time I was into boxing was the period between Rocky IV and the first Tyson loss. I was young and pretty impressionable.

    George H.W. Bush had four "First Sons", not just George W. I guess W could be considered the First First Son.

    I suppose for the trend to hold up, our next president will either be Hillary or Ted Cruz, since both only have daughters.

    Ugh on that age guessing software. I've put in 3 different pictures. I'm 42, and in every one of them it guesses me between 53 and 57. Meanwhile, it guesses my wife, age 41, as between 33-36. Apparently I need to moisturize.

    Also, Kristen Wiig looked incredible on The Daily Show last night. Yowza.
