Bag of Randomness

  • As I mentioned before, I really enjoy those Windows 7 commercials where the person telling the “my idea” story and the reenactment is portrayed by a better looking person; but, the one in which the French woman is speaking, she’s better looking than her reenactment character.
  • Oh snap, I just remember I have a kitchen sink and faucet I need to install.  Man, WifeGeeding sure has been patient about not pressuring me to get that installed, but at the same time, I feel I’ve let her down.
  • I partially have to blame our dogs, I guess, because once they are in my lap I just don’t want to make them move.
  • Survivor sure was interesting last night.
  • As much as I enjoy LOST, and as much as I  enjoyed trying to guess the story lines, sometimes even I have a hard time trying to accept things.  For instance, the ship being thrown by the waves so violently that it flew high and strong enough to knock over a huge statue and still land in the middle of the jungle.  And to be honest, I think there is a thing of having too many biblical overtones in a science fiction show.
  • There’s a person at work that always IM”s me and uses “oic” – for some reason that abbreviation annoys me.
  • In case you don’t know, oic means “oh, I see”.
  • The first time I saw that it took me a good 25 seconds to figure out what he was talking about.
  • And this person is the same one that uses the dreaded comic sans font.  Good gosh I loath me some comic sans.
  • ABC News Nightline turned 30 years old yesterday.  For the most part, I really enjoy the program, but when the do a horrible job when they report on things regarding the Christian faith.
  • I wonder if anyone found the hidden message on that teddy bear post I made today.
  • If you haven’t voted on my boiling water poll that is just below this post, please do so, so I can settle an argument.  I’ll provide details later.
  • Greenville, South Carolina loves Google
  • Verne Lundquist was recently interviewed by the man that replaced him here in Dallas.  Those two have covered DFW sports for over 45 years.
  • I can’t wait to try this Julia Child omelet technique. (Thanks, Danny)
  • And in case you ever wondered what she thought about McDonald’s french fries.
  • Best Screen Saver Ever?
  • For the seniors that read this blog that remembers what it was like before TV.
  • ‘Beer and Bible’ Launches in Mormon Community

National Bible Museum in Dallas?

Very strange thing going on right now in New York and Europe about a “National Bible Museum” to be created in Dallas — strange in that there has been no mention here in the city’s only daily newspaper. But people elsewhere seem to know all about it.

The National Bible Museum, as it has been described to me, would be the size of 10 football fields and is supposed to be built somewhere near downtown Dallas.

Things like this get talked about all the time, and most of them are trial balloons, scams or urban rumors. But here is the intriguing part about this deal: I have it on very good authority that the agents for this museum — a Biblical scholar from Western Michigan and a Dallas man — have been making very major purchases of serious books and manuscripts in New York and Europe for which they have been paying millions of dollars.
