List of Arguments

I know that most men are guilty of losing arguments with their better half due to the fact that we don’t remember past arguments. I know I am guilty of this. When I make an accusation of something or another I usually cannot recall and instance to back up my claims. Where my better half […]

Lamp not so bright

Last night we ventured out to the new Super Target or Target Grande or whatever they call it. Same Target. Newer store. Our purpose was to replace our fire-hazard halogen light in the living room with a safer incandescent one. We found one in our budget and took it home. I put it together only […]

Blackberry Sync Problems

Since I returned from Las Vegas, I have had to manually sync my blackberry to receive any new email. I was hoping this would clear up on its own but it hasn’t. Anyone have any ideas on how to get it to sync automatically again? Technorati Tags: blackberry, sync, question, manual, problems

As of Monday morning, regular unleaded fuel prices […]

Two Colored Twins

I bet this don’t happen too often: In 1993, Wilma Stuart gave birth to two baby boys. They were fraternal twins, so some dissimilarity was to be expected. However, only one of the boys seemed to take after his parents of white Dutch heritage. The other sported a much darker complexion. Wilma’s pregnancy was due […]

When What You Say Isn’t What You Mean

In my profession, people say the wrong things all the time. They mistake KB for MB, RAM for disk space, etc. I was thinking today, what if they did this in other areas of life? How embarrassing would it be to wish condolences instead of congratulations to the new chef on opening his own restaurant? […]

Funny Comment

Comment on news story on digg titled “Is this the stupidest man alive?” about man who ended up in hospital after lighting a firecracker out of his arse: No. He is not the stupidest man alive. If Bush could figure out how to light a firecracker, he’d do the same. Technorati Tags: Bush, stupid, joke, […]
