This is one of those posts about things that probably don’t mean anything. I recently started taking eye drops for too much pressure in my eyes. Worst case scenario, I have mild glaucoma. They seem to be working pretty good. I had experienced a headache for about a year that my eye doc finally decided [...]

Recycling news? Get a grip I guess
Posted in Health, Oddities, Psychology on Apr 24th, 2008
Here’s the rather enticing headline from Fox today:
Study: Masturbation May Prevent Prostate Cancer
Now, this is great news for me. I won’t go into a lot of detail as to why. Let’s just say I”m not a high-prostate cancer risk according to that study. However, that study is more the point of this post than the [...]
Stephenville Texas UFO?
Posted in Conspiracy Theories, Oddities, SETI on Jan 15th, 2008
All over the news is the story of dozens of people in Stephenville, Texas seeing a UFO. In this day and age of just about every person having a cell phone or gadget with a cheap digital camera in it, did one single person in Stephenville think to get a pic of this thing? That [...]
A Taser MP3 player?
Posted in Oddities, Technology on Jan 7th, 2008
This has got to be the worst idea I think I’ve ever heard of in my entire life:
A handy new holster from Taser International Inc. holds not only your stun gun but a music player too.
I see people having a few drinks, cruising the bars, and suddenly flopping wildly all over the sidewalk in an [...]
Did life on Earth come from space?
Posted in Conspiracy Theories, Health, Oddities, The Solar System, The Universe on Sep 18th, 2007
There is a long held theory that life on Earth evolved from life forms raining down on Earth from other places. So far, there isn’t any proof of this, it just sounds logical. However, we might have some proof in the making right now:
Around midday Saturday, villagers were startled by an explosion and a fireball [...]
Arthur Clarke and plasma life
Posted in Books, Film, Intelligent Design, Oddities, Paranormal, Religion, SETI, The Solar System, The Universe on Aug 14th, 2007
Better turn down the lights and pour yourself a strong one, this post is DEEP.
OK, ready?
I have been a huge fan of Arthur C. Clarke, particularly of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Most people are familiar with the movie. I consider it the greatest sci-fi movie ever made. However, it is somewhat vague in what is [...]
This is sickening
Posted in Oddities on Aug 6th, 2007
And it’s supposed to be. Instead of clubbing people for getting out of line, this gadget will make them throw up. Actually, this reminds me of every concert I attended in the late 70’s. After a while, you sort of got acclimated to strobe lights. Not sure what’s different about this gadget. However, I still [...]
Mrs. Moon sent me this one:
The Chilean black widow is also known as the wheat spider for the wheat fields it inhabits and where its farmer-victims receive their often fatal bite.
The spider’s bite can kill children and the elderly, but among strong young farmers it leads to erections that can last for days and involve [...]
Bigfoot an endangered species?
Posted in Animal Kingdom, Oddities, Silly science on May 25th, 2007
A while back I did a piece on Bigfoot. It was sort of done tongue in cheek, sort of serious. To me, that’s where Bigfoot exists. Nothing to be taken serious, but fun to think about anyway. However, some guys in Canada are wanting to take all the fun out of it by proving Bigfoot [...]
Full Moons Make Us Crazy?
Posted in Books, Entertainment, Humor, Oddities, Paranormal, Psychology, The Solar System on May 2nd, 2007
It’s that time of the month again. We’ve got a big, bright, full moon floating in the sky. For a long, long, long time, man has considered the full moon a sign of craziness.
According to Mythic Realm, Werewolves have been around throughout most of mankind’s written history. Probably the first account of a shapeshifting was [...]
