About Me

My photo
I'm an artist, educator, militant anti-theist , and I write. I gamble on just about anything. And I like beer...but I love my wife. This blog contains observations from a funny old man who gets pissed off every once in a while.

DISCUSION POINTS


Pu o Hiro is a roadside rock in the Easter Islands, but at one time its value was so great that factions fought over its possession. The rock's natural holes allowed it to be played like an instrument. 

Worth the read.

That was an Obama quote.

You may need to zoom in on this, it's very clever.

The known universe is made up of 50,000,000,000 galaxies.

 There are between 100,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000,000 stars in a normal galaxy. In the Milky Way alone there might be as many 100 billion Earth-like planets. Still think you’re alone?

In my youth, most libraries had an information desk that would find out damn near anything you wanted to know...without computers, of course. Once for a mural I asked them for the exact year, month, day, hour and minute that M.L. King died and it took them about thirty minutes.

America's Secret Atomic City
Conspiracy theorists use the Manhattan Project to prove that the government can keep big secrets. I remind them that all mail was read, all calls monitored and, of course, the people lived in the middle of nowhere with no outside contact...for years. And of course threatened with death for blabbing.
For the many workers of the Manhattan Project who had been the enriching uranium used to destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this V-J day celebration in downtown Oak Ridge in August of 1945 would have been the first time, along with the rest of the world, that they learned of the existence of a superbomb.

The 30,000 Keys with labels hang from the rafters of Baldpate Inn.

In 1913, American novelist Earl Derr Biggers penned a comedic mystery novel titled “Seven Keys to Baldpate”, that became so famous that it inspired as many as seven film adaptation, and a smash Broadway stage play of the same name. It also inspired Gordon and Ethel Mace to borrow the catchy name, as well as the theme of the story, for their mountain hotel in Estes Park, Colorado.
“Seven Keys to Baldpate” is a story about a writer who attempts to write a novel within 24 hours. Seeking some peace and seclusion, the novelist travels to remote summer mountain resort named Baldpate Inn, in the dead of winter, and locks himself in, believing he has the only key. But all throughout the night, visitors keep barging in through the door—seven times in all. Everyone had a key to the Baldpate Inn.

Jamiroquai, the twat in the hat, as he is known in England, he's a bit of a standing joke.
