Bag of Randomness

  • I’m surprised that Radio Shack is still around.
  • I find the Arby’s commerical where the guy accidentally says “I love you” annoying.
  • Same goes for Pizza Hut’s “a large for $5.99.”  But I guess this one is effective as I know the price.
  • Lynda the Singing SWA Flight Attendant –  YouTube
  • Speaking of SWA, they followed the Golden Rule and may have a customer for life.  Link
  • Here’s a nice little time-waster, but let me warn you that your browser window will go crazy.
  • The Octomom has to make money somehow, now she’s going to trademark the name.
  • I hear a lot about someone named Lady Gaga, but I know nothing about her.
  • I found a new route home, and it’s awesome.
  • It’s been a really long work week, and I’m only working four days this week.

  • My friend BibleScholarGeorge just moved into a former Dallas Cowboys player’s house.  He was pretty sure it was this Cowboy when he looked through past property owners, but it was confirmed by a certain item that was left behind in the house.  I would provide more details, but not comfortable doing so as I haven’t talked to BibleScholarGeorge about this.
  • The first item to put together SisterGeeding’s Christmas present arrived in the mail yesterday.
  • Need another time-waste?  Play with a spider.
  • I think the quality of posts this week have been very sub-par.

Hong Kong Christens an Ark of Biblical Proportions Hong Kong Christens an Ark of Biblical Proportions

HONG KONG — This city’s three billionaire Kwok brothers have just the answer for the rising waters threatening the global economy: the world’s first life-size replica of Noah’s ark, built to biblical specifications off the coast of this recession-struck Chinese financial center.
