Women’s feet are getting bigger, with the average shoe size up from a five to a six in the past five years, figures have found.

Medical experts believe that the rise in size is down to the obesity epidemic, pointing to high-density foods such as pizza being eaten during puberty stimulating the growth hormone.

An international prayer ministry will start to work this year on setting up prayer rooms on all U.S. college and university campuses.

Bag of Randomness

  • Back in 1997 when Titanic was at its peak, if someone would have told me that the old lady in that movie would still be alive 12 years later I wouldn’t have believed them.  But she’s still kicking, and turns 100 if she makes it to Independence Day.
  • I got another Christmas card in the mail yesterday from Warren who lives in Canada.  His card was pretty cool, it was a pop-up card which made me think of my days as a kid in a library trying to find a cool pop-up book.  Not only did he include all sorts of Canadian coupons, but he included a CD of vintage U2, something from an old BBC broadcast.  Thanks, Warren!
  • The geek in me loves this week as the Consumer Electronics Show is going on in Las Vegas.  For you non-geeks, this is when all the companies showcase all the new gadgets.  The big talk this year is that Apple will reveal some kind of tablet that will be a Kindle killer.
  • Google announced a phone yesterday that seems pretty cool.  You can just talk to it and it will type and perform a search for you.  Many speculated that it would be sold without having to use a carrier and it would rely on Google Voice, which would be pretty cool, but that didn’t happen.
  • I might just like the new Mythbusters girl more than the original.
  • Harrison Ford was in town for a movie premiere yesterday at NorthPark Center.  It sure is interesting how Dallas is all of a sudden getting several of these movie premieres with major stars making an appearance.  One of our local movie critics was interviewing him and mentioned the TCU Hornfrogs, and Harrison Ford was quite bewildered at what a hornfrog was.
  • I don’t like the idea that Austin Miles is on the cover of Sports Illustrated, I fear the SI cover jinx.
  • ESPN will start broadcasting in 3D this year.
  • States that allow same sex marriage vs. states that allow marriage between first cousins.  Link
  • Cool pic from the top of the Eiffel Tower.
