I'm an Awful Person for Laughing at This...

Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
The number of Americans working from home are now up to 44% up from just 17% before COVID-19 hit. Those numbers aren't going to go back to the high teens probably ever... Never knew this movie existed. When Sean Connery's brother played James Bond's "brother"... Tom Brady is 4th in the NFL in passing yards and 3rd in TD's. His turning Tampa into a Super Bowl contender at age 43 is a great story-line which may be translated into a lot of support for him potentially being the league MVP... If "gormless" is a word - shouldn't "gormfull" also be a word?... I'd be OK with this... Did you know Honeymoon Rhinitis is an actual medical condition? It would also be a good name for a band...

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Cross Words would be a good name for a Broadway play where two actors just shout angry, rude insults at each other for an hour... Cool - Navy Seal sees a broken American flag and acts just like you think a Navy Seal would act... A reminder of the wisdom of the masses - a 1967 Gallup poll found twice as many Americans supported nuking North Vietnam as opposed to withdrawing... The Jordan B. Peterson drinking song... Who knew? The Spanish National Anthem has no words... Still say that if low calorie beer was called "skim" instead of "light" they would be much less popular. Michelob Ultra is skim beer... It's the circle - the circle of life...

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Perhaps the best (and most humorous) argument I've seen in favor of nuclear energy. 19 minutes long and in Dutch (with subtitles) but well worth the time (even if just for the laughs).
- Heh Heh
- Naval's Laws (great life advice)
- Interesting - in 1981 44.3% of the world lived in extreme poverty and last year that number dropped to just 9.65%. We live in an era of abundance.
- It is a small step from having these robots dogs do jobs on construction site to having a billionaire training them to hunt the "most dangerous game" for his enjoyment. Just saying.
- How to exercise when it's the last thing you want to do
- Trying to follow the players and the interests in Syria is so hard.

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Prior to the second day of the Battle of Stirling the Scots knelt and prayed. Edward II saw this and assumed they were praying for mercy from the English. He was mistaken. The Scots were praying to beg forgiveness from God for what they were about to do to the English forces and their allies... Interesting - according to physics a can of Diet Coke will float in fresh water but a can of regular Coke will sink because of the density of sugar... The crazy-straw sinuses of one particular dinosaur... It would be interesting to track the increase of oral herpes in states that have legalized marijuana. Vape pen sharing is not exactly the most hygienic of things... Hot Urine would be a good name for a punk band. Playing tonight - Hot Urine!... I think if someone managed to cross an Etch-a-Sketch with an iPad type device it would be the best-selling gift of the Christmas season... "Knowledge is a skyscraper. You can take a shortcut with a fragile foundation of memorization, or building upon the steel frame of understanding." - Naval Ravikant...

The Dinosaur Wars
Which means according to science it is more likely that Jesus rode a T-Rex than it is that this epic battle ever occurred. Thanks science for ruining my childhood!
Oh and that's not all. Now in science there's a big argument over whether an asteroid actually killed the "charismatic megafauna" (dinosaurs) or whether volcanoes are responsible (the Deccan Volcanism theory). [Long read]
Just goes to show that the science is never settled. Right T-Rex riding Jesus?

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Prehistoric "Sea Monster" may have been largest that ever lived.
- Still think this was a pretty amusing prank (and an early indication that Hillary would not be embraced as a candidate).
- Interesting - looks like Trump may be winning the trade wars
- On advice from Richard Nixon, Mitt Romney's dad and Antonin Scalia the AT&T/Time Warner merger should not be allowed.
- Jeff Bezos on what makes Amazon different. You could change "Amazon" to "Walmart" at the end and the quote easily could have been from Sam Walton.
- Richard Overton is a national treasure.
- Starting to think the FBI was less messed up and political under J. Edgar Hoover.

- Fantastic fitness advice.
- Israel's strength is the key to peace in the Middle East
- Beautiful photos of British Columbia

- You could say they were caught "orange" handed
- Cool - Airbnb is giving away a stay on a research vessel in the Bahamas
- Why are so many blackboards green?
- Amen-Dola - nicely done! Go Pats!
- I laughed way too much at this
- Nice profile on former back-up QB and now Patriots radio voice Scott Zolak

- There is no reason US taxpayers should be subsidizing college football booster programs. Especially if the potential cost is $1.9 billion over 10-years.
- I would actually like to see this become a thing
- Mookie Betts rolled a perfect 300 in the PBA World Series of Bowling
- Actual conversation between Bill Clinton and Tony Blair
- Important thing to remember about Louis CK's "apology"
- Typos often make for the best band names
- Oh snap!
- This is nuts! I get nervous just watching it.

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Not only is today Albert Einstein's birthday it is also Michael Cain'e birthday and Pi Day (3/14)... Yesterday was the Saint Patrick's Day Parade in Worcester. Or as I like to call it - 10,000 Maniacs (with apologies to Natalie Merchant)... Hours upon hours of my childhood ruined by facts... Speaking of Pi - back in the 17th century the value of Pi was known to 35 decimals. Today it is known to 1.2411 trillion except in Alabama where by law the value of Pi is rounded to 3.14... Heh heh - the wife of Pi... By the way did you know that if you say "My Cocaine" you are also saying Michael Caine in his own voice?... I want this T-Shirt... In honor of Michael Caine - here's the song by Madness called appropriately enough Michael Caine:

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
I think the NFL should stand firm and suspend Odell Beckham Jr. for this Sunday's game... WFT? Actor Nicolas Cage agrees to return stolen skull of dinosaur Tyrannosaurus bataar to Mongolia... I'm starting to think Leonardo DiCaprio is "protesting too much" that he didn't get "raped" by a bear. Was it consensual?... Nice math trick - if you divide 1 by 998,001 you get all three digit numbers from 000 to 999 in order... Speaking of dinosaurs - Plesiosaurs may have swum like penguins... Black Hermione would be a great name for a band... "Ball Peen Hammer" sounds like it could be a sex act from the Urban Dictionary. Is "peen" ever used in any other phrase?... Yes this is the GIF of the year... I should note that I'm in a Fantasy Football final and I'm playing against a guy who is starting Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. Suspend the bastard!...
