THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT CARE TO KNOW

Blog number ninety-eight                                   July 12, 2007
My roving reporter informs me that in the Sacramento yellow pages, there is an ad for psychics on page 666.  Coincidence?  Synchronicity? Conspiracy?  We will determine which and let readers know the results as soon as possible, if not sooner.

In this month's New Yorker magazine, there is a cartoon of a clown at a circus that has a tattooed teardrop by his eye.  A little girl is standing by him, pointing to her eye, obviously asking about the tattoo. 

The caption reads, "I'm not a sad clown.  I killed a guy in prison."

In this month's Discover magazine is a cartoon by Gary Larson of a caveman pointing to the three sharp points on the end of a dinosaur's tail, telling his audience, "Now, this end is called the thagomizer after the late Thag Simmons."

"Thagomizer" is what those things are now called in reference books and museum exhibits.  Neat, huh?

Remember, work hard.  Keep America strong.
