Ind. man, 72, shaves shaggy eyebrows for charity

BLOOMFIELD, Ind.—A 72-year-old man with eyebrows so long he brushed them each morning raised $1,600 for charity from people who paid to take turns trimming his out-of-control brows. Some of the wiry hairs shorn from Si Burgher’s shaggy eyebrows measured more than three inches long because the former jeweler’s brows had never been trimmed.

Burgher’s eyebrows were so long he used to brush them before leaving the house. But he agreed to have the overgrown brows tamed last week by members of the Bloomfield Rotary Club to raise money for a polio eradication campaign.

Bag of Randomness

  • In my continuing effort to study denominational differences, I bought this book the other day.  It lists all the major Christian denominations, and breaks down the denominations within the denomination over such areas of the history, the Bible, God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, governance, sin and salvation, and sacraments.  I put together a comparison chart in a Word.doc of what I think are eight of the most common churches in the area.  If you would like a copy of this comparison chart, just email me.  I would post it, but I’m fear I might be violating some kind of copyright law.  Don’t think of it as Cliff Notes, just Keith Notes.
  • Through my studies, I’m tempted to also check out the Episcopal church.
  • I have a feeling some of you admire how I’m checking out different aspects of the Christian faith, but I have a feeling some of you are telling me to make up my mind already. But hey, Jeremiah 29:13
  • The age of the digital camera.  Link
  • Oh, that darn liberal media.  Link
  • Those Biden’s don’t have an internal speech sensor.
  • Interesting how Obama didn’t even crack a smile after Biden made a jovial comment about the Chief Justice and the oath, when Biden himself was about to administer the oath senior staffers.
  • I get the impression that Obama seems very determined right now, but he hasn’t been in office a week so we’lll see how that goes.
  • With Circuit City going out of business, I’m tempted to upgrade my stereo receiver and sub-woofer.
  • You can play Street Fighter with YouTube.  It takes a little getting use to.  Link
  • Super Mario Duck Hunt YouTube
  • I spontaneously danced with WifeGeeding in the middle of our living room the other night when Beyonce serenaded the Obamas.
  • In case you ever needed a bullet-proof bath tub.  Link
  • Beetlejuice meets the Joker.  Link
  • I wonder if Dubya is watching the news just to see what is all going on, or just zoning out after eight years.  I bet watching all the Lost DVD’s starting with season one.
  • Why men are better dieters than women.  Time Magazine
  • I got a kind email from someone from the National Geographic Channel thanking me for posting that Obama Air Force One video, and she asked if I would like to be kept informed of other interesting videos, so I said sure.  The next day she emails back and apoligizes stating that that video may no longer play because there was an update or someing, and then provided me with the new embedded code.
