LOVE the terrified bird in the corner of the card for Randy Johnson.

“...partner “inadvertently pressed the button deploying the foam.”

Cal it cheap or call it sensible (or whatever term, there are many), I call it up $22.

I like the idea, but I am cheap and impatient, so with a bungee cord and a bulldog clip, I will have a DYI one installed later today.

That would be a good way to confirm the findings. 

A lot of classes I have taken were online and to actually learn the material I needed to memorize, I forced myself to write it (I used 3x5 cards so I could cross reference and add to them later as I found more information). Since I had to concentrate to write them legibly (terrible handwriting), I found remembering…

When I was at an museum exhibit of medieval armor, I was rather shocked to see how short the people who wore it must have been. The average height for the wearer appeared to be about 5'2" to 5'4", so this actually makes sense.

This caused me to burst out laughing in my office, something I really needed today. Thanks.

I got a little faint from just reading this, so thanks for the new paranoia. I can add to to the thousand other nightmares I already host.

This IS important research and if you don’t think so, you don’t have one.

These are awesome and I can only assume the reason he has to hide them away is to keep cats/kids from going crazy on them and destroying his hard work. I sort of want one under glass as a coffee table (really as a dining table, but I don’t want the interiors designers in the crowd to hyperventilate).

I do not know about now, but in ye olden days when I was in school/science class, they taught us how to read a map, a compass and other basic navigational skills, like how to determine what directions (N/S/E/W) are and how to figure them out relative to where you are.

My grandmother lived through the depression and she never threw anything away. She would take old clothes (t shirts are ideal) and cut them into strips, and roll them then braid them, and join them end to end forming a long “cord”. She would then take the cord, wind it helically, stitch it together as she went and made…

I will probably get thrown off Giz for this, but, I keep a real paper atlas under the seat of my car and it has let me get around situations like this. In cases of no cell service, it can be a real life saver. Spend a few bucks and stash one in the emergency kit in your car. I am not a Luddite, but I do like…

I don’t really drink (maybe once/twice a year, if that) but conventional knowledge says when everyone is getting out of something, that is the time to get in, so I think I may have to take it up and have a wet January, since every other month is dry (for me).

He is an asshole on a good  day. I do not know if there is a word in English for what he is on a bad one. :)

Imagine if it went real world all the cats napping in the front windows of their houses going crazy at the goldfish driving by and taunting them. 

Revenge was had in the form of no one would drink the decaff so he was forced to make his own coffee for a change. If no one was drinking it, no one was making it. It opened my eyes to how easy it was for someone to sabotage it and I now make/bring my own from home. You never know what kinda of crap some lunatic will…

My boss decided we were all going to go decaf, but he didn’t tell anyone and put the decaff coffee beans in the regular coffee can (covering it up, so he knew what he was doing). I thought I was ill, felt like I was in a (bad) dream, dragging all the time and had awful headaches for days. I actually scheduled a doctor…

The sad reality is that in a large portion of the population, if they order and take a test and even if it comes back positive, unless they are deathly ill, they will not isolate or change their behaviors or even get vaccinated, they will simply scoff and say, “Now I am immune/its nothing but flu” and continue to…
