Brokeback Squadron

This is what you get if you take Top Gun and turn it into Brokeback Mountain. Pretty funny actually, because all of the clips come straight from Top Gun itself.

The last line had me laughing pretty hard.

Maverick and Iceman, who knew?

Bed Books

Do you love to read in bed, like me?

Well, I invented
Bed Books because I love to read in bed, but I hated spending my time propping, piling and adjusting a bunch of pillows, only to find I still wasn’t comfortable

Woman Gave Birth, Woke up Amputated, No Explanation Given.

Claudia Mejia gave birth eight and a half months ago at Orlando Regional South Seminole. She was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center in Orlando where her arms and legs were amputated. She was told she had streptococcus, a flesh eating bacteria, and toxic shock syndrome, but no further explanation was given.

Another reason why I think there shouldn't be a cap on medical malpractice. I think if she was in Texas, the most she could sue for would be $250,000.

How spiders stick to ceilings

Scientists have found that the way spiders stick to ceilings could be the key to making Post-it® notes that don't fall off - even when they are wet. A team from Germany and Switzerland have made the first detailed examinations of a jumping spider's 'foot' and have discovered that a molecular force sticks the spider to almost anything. The force is so strong that these spiders could carry over 170 times their own body weight while standing on the ceiling.

Here is a complete list of the space junk and those who put it up there.

Scott Tissue put together a Web site devoted to the legendary Super Bowl Halftime Flush

Legend has it during halftime of football's Big Game in February, more than 350 million gallons of water will flush through our toilets as an estimated 90 million people use their facilities. That amount of flushing equals seven minutes of water flowing over the Niagara Falls. No wonder that unexpected - and unwanted - clogged toilets will occur in bathrooms everywhere. Get in the game and take the proper steps to avoid a Halftime Flush nightmare.

For you 24 fans

Random Jack Bauer Facts

FYI: There are some explicatives, so you have been fair warned.

Here are some examples:
  • Superman wears Jack Bauer pajamas.
  • Jack Bauer got Hellen Keller to talk.
  • 1.6 billion Chinese are angry with Jack Bauer. Sounds like a fair fight.

And I have yet to watch one episode of 24.

A light bag for the next two days

Since momGeeding will be moving in with me and wifeGeeding, I'll be busy getting things moved from her place to my place. Because of this move, BagOfNothing.com will be light for the next couple of days.

Yeah, I know, it's not every 30 year old's dream having his mother move in with him, but because of her health and some other issues, sometimes you just got to do what you think is right. I'm certainly thankful to have the wife that I do. I can't say enough good things about her and her attitude and spirit concerning all of this. Talk about a wife of noble character.

A few thoughts:
  • The move is tough for me. It was always nice having a place to call 'home.' I have my own house and all, but it was always nice 'going home.'
  • The house momGeeding is moving out of is the only house I have lived in, other than the one wifeGeeding and purchased about a year ago. Over 30 years in that house, lots of memories. Kinda weird how someone can get so attached to an inanimate object.
  • My father has been dead since 1998. This is the last big step of me 'moving on.' Not so easy.
  • Over 30 years in a house means lots of crap. Why the heck did I hold on to my 5th grade spanish homework? ai de me, no is bueno.
  • When some people hear that my mother is moving in with me, I get two reactions. Reaction one is not very common, it's the one where folks say I'm noble or something. Reaction 2 is very common. Folks just look at me weird, turn their head, and say "Ohhhhhhhhh" or "I'm sorry." Interesting.
  • The folks at U-Haul know me by name.
  • My back hurts.
  • Gas is still tooooooo expensive.
  • I decided to make-up and play a game on Saturday on the moving road trip. I decided to count every suburban type of vehicle (like the Toyota Sequoia, Chevy Tahoe or Ford Excursion, but I excluded smaller ones like the 4Runner, Trailblazer or Explorer) with female drivers and see how many were talking on a cell phone. See, I have this thing about soccer moms driving large vehicles - they don't seem to drive well and that's because I think they feel protected in the large vehicle and don't necessarily pay attention when they drive. I counted a total of 23, and 20 were yacking away during this hour and a half road trip. That's about 87%.

That's all for now.
