It took quite a while for its service to really take off. If it had been designed in 1960, it probably would have looked something like this ...

OK,
So, this is kind of a lame post, but here it goes ...
One day, I was at work and I went to the men's restroom. I noticed other people in the restroom, as I went into the stall to take care of personal business.
As I was in the stall, I noticed a reasonably-sized bug just outside my stall area, in the adjacent stall.
My first inclination was to stomp on the bug.
Then, I thought the other people in the bathroom, and about Larry Craig.Obviously, the right thing to do in this situation was to leave the bug alone.
That's one lucky bug!
With the 40th anniversary of the 1st landing on the moon, you'd think that most folks would finally drop the lunar hoax conspiracy theory.
If they did, I think I'd shout "Whooppie"!
Or maybe I should just shout ... "Whoopi"?
You see, Whoopi Goldberg did it again. On the July 20th taping of ABC's "The View", Whoopi insinuated that NASA faked the moon landings, based on the obviously fictional movie "Capricorn One". Even Barbara Walters had to set her straight, with the weak "evidence" Whoopi Goldberg presented, since the landings were done SIX TIMES.
But in my opinion, I think the coolest "evidence" (as if I needed more) of the Apollo Lunar landings came from NASA's next attempt to get back to the Moon. Three days ago, NASA's Lunar Reconnaisssance Orbiter provided detailed images of the Lunar surface - images that are much more detailed than could have been obtained back in the Apollo years. As you can see from these photos, the LRO flew over the old Apollo landing sites, capturing images of the lunar descent stages still sitting on the landing sites!
Perhaps Whoopi Goldberg and her pseudo-intellectual "lunar hoax" crowd can argue with those images.

I had to have a bit of surgery on my forehead ... turned out, it was skin cancer. It was squamous, so it shouldn't be a serious issue, as long as I look after it.
I managed to take 11 stitches, and I developed a nice shiner on my left eye.

Here's a nice, semi-blurry picture of me from my blackberry.
Back in my Middle School and High School Daze, some friends and I put together a mock newscast for our Middle School and High School's talent show. We called it "We Witness News" ... as a parody of a local TV channel's newscast (Eyewitness News). We had all sorts of jokes, puns, and sight gags in the skit - folks loved it.
Every once in a while, I come across some news story that's so funny, it would have been perfectly designed for our We Witness News skit.
Back in December, I came across another one, courtesy of Boing Boing.
What really cracks me up are some of the comments to the story - particularly, #14.
Truth is stranger (and funnier) than fiction!
It's been too long since I've posted.
Stay tuned ... more posts are coming!!!
I saw this one in NASA's 2009 "Healthier You" Calendar (in October), and then later, through ProBlogger Blogging Tips.
Either way, I think it's from Tyler Westcott, and I think it's inspirational. What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
