Barbie Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken Doll
No, really. I thought it was a joke. Which demographic is Mattel appealing to? Who wants to play with a Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken Doll?
The Universe
The comic strip XKCD is brilliant.
I Can Has Cheezburger?

Chemical Accident. Floods. Earthquakes. Epidemics. Volcano eruption! And that's just today. The Havaria Information Service's Alertmap shows you were all today's disasters are, a full description, and a Google Earth Map so you can zoom in close for details.

Tuscan Whole Milk
Amazon sells a lot more than books. And I like the fact that you can write a review of the product. Amazon also sells a 1 gallon jug of Tuscan Whole Milk, and as of this moment there are 609 reviews, such as: Humbly self-touted as nutritious Some even bandied, crazy-delicious But like the man … Continue reading Tuscan Whole Milk
Happy Independence Day!

Jesus Heals
Presumably when Jesus was alive He didn't need bandages, but now you can buy bandages with His image on them for healing. Somehow it just doesn't seem right, but I can't put my finger on why. Healing comes from Jesus through prayer and grace, and a bandage with His picture doesn't fit into that equation … Continue reading Jesus Heals
Yankee or Rebel?
Turns out I'm 74% Dixie. Not a full redneck, my neck is just a little pink. How do you score?
Painted Room Illusions
Artist Felice Varinia has created painted room illusions that, if you stand in the right spot, a 3D pattern appears. Here's an example. From the entranceway you see this messy paint job: But when you move the the right spot, this startling image emerges: There's more fascinating pictures of 3D rooms here.
Don't Click It
Just don't click it. This was a very interesting experiment for me since I seem to be developing some tendenitis in my right forefinger I use for clicking. A web-design interface with no clicking is appealing, though trying to teach computer-challenged people how to use it might be difficult.

Dilbert Blog
Scott Adams, author of the comic strip Dilbert, has started a blog. And if you thought his comic strips were off-the-wall, his random daily brain wheezes will surely convince you. Today's entry, "Blogging Under the Influence: Today I am whacked out on pain killers because yesterday I had surgery to correct my deviated septum. I … Continue reading Dilbert Blog
Personal Drivers License is Online
Your personal Driver License is Online - and I can't believe the media isn't reporting this. You have to opt out if you don't want to be listed. I got my driver's license removed - you should too to avoid identity theft. This is upsetting but I thought I should pass it along. Check your … Continue reading Personal Drivers License is Online
God Speaks
Ever see one of those billboards signed "God"? The organization that puts up the billboards has a website at Godspeaks.com. From there, you can see all their billboards and see basic questions about Christianity, whether you're doing great or whether you need some help.
Whimsy
At The Journey, Rodney wonders about insects with low self-esteem. There's something wrong with Rodney.

This web site combines the power of Google mapping with the list of registered sex offenders in 38 states. Put in your zip code and pinpoint where all the bad guys … Continue reading Map of Sex Offenders
Kasey Kahne's Girlfriend
No wonder so many people come here looking for Kasey Kahne or Dale Earnhardt Jr.s girlfriend. Why is Chasing the Wind ranked #2 on this site for Kasey Kahne and #1 for Dale Earnhardt Jr. ? Bizarre. (I almost wrote "bizzare" or perhaps "bizare" or "bizzarre" but that's just pandering to the search engines so … Continue reading Kasey Kahne's Girlfriend
Perfect Engagement
When I asked Diane to marry me, I tried to make it as romantic as possible. Outdoors, in a gazebo, azaleas blooming, down on one knee... It was almost perfect. I forgot the tortoise. Supermodel Claudia Schiffer realised she had found true love with husband MatthewVaughan when she gratefully accepted a tortoise instead of an … Continue reading Perfect Engagement
One Ugly Dog
Man. That's got to be the ugliest dog I've ever seen. Some may call it a tale of beauty and the beast. But Sam, a 14-year-old pedigreed Chinese crested, and a three-time champ in the World's Ugliest Dog Contest, is the dog of Susie Lockheed's dreams. Lockheed, 53, enjoys massaging Sam's fleshy, thin, potato-chip ears … Continue reading One Ugly Dog
Science Made Stupid Again

He has looked at the great diversity of plants and animals around him and wondered: where did life … Continue reading Science Made Stupid Again
Chickens as Pets
The New York Times has a story that more and more people are raising chickens as pets. This doesn't come as any surprise to me. My brother happily raises chickens every bit as funny looking as these. As my brother puts it, both he and the chicken get a lot out of the relationship. He … Continue reading Chickens as Pets

Rich People Spending Money on Icky Things
Yuck. I'm glad I'm not rich. I might be persuaded to buy a bar of soap.

Gianni Monti's … Continue reading Rich People Spending Money on Icky Things
Smearing Women With Broccoli
Actually, my first question is, "Who pays these people? And how can I get a job that involves rubbing food products on people?" According to the Smell and Taste Institute in Chicago - a likely terrorist target if there ever was one - smearing grapefruit on women make them smell 6 years younger. Institute director … Continue reading Smearing Women With Broccoli

Today's Topic
I haven't decided on my topic today. I've narrowed it down to the following two choices. Got an opinion n either one? A discussion on inner-city poor people. A fresh look at how mothers view pregnancy vs. marriage. Interesting how some view pregnancy as completely unrelated to marriage. Or Rent-a-midget.
New Lamps for the Living Room
Diane & I agree on many decorating issues, mostly contemporary with a mix of traditional thrown in. As we redecorate the house in preparation for marriage, I'm going to suggest these lovely lamps. Unique, stylish, sort of looks like whale snot. I'm sure Diane will like these, don't you?
Kitten Cannon
Now that I have you convinced that cats are diabolical, here you can practice shooting kittens out of a Kitten Cannon. My score was 610. 🙂
I Don't Own a Cat
Dogs are loving. All the time. Unless they're cowering because they've done something wrong, dogs are loving. Cats never cower. They're proud of what they've done wrong. I suspect they spend all day plotting what to do with their inheritance once you're gone. Others agree. My Cat Hates You has proof.

I suppose you could come up with something worse than "Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K". How, I don't know.

On the weirdness scale, which one of these two is the weirdest?
