Random Fact #10

The other day, I was on Facebook and the Nora Jones page posted something about her honouring the late Ravi Shankar.  So I looked into why she'd be one of the people to honour him.  But as I found out, Ravi Shankar had an affair with Nora Jones's mother.  Yes, you read that right.  Nora Jones has some Indian in her.  You'd never know it though.

Mind is now blown.  That is way I felt too.  Now you know!

Blogging Resolution

My posting rate is up vastly compared to other years.  I made it a news years resolution to blog more and that is exactly what I am doing.  Let's hope that I continue to do this all year and not flop on my resolution.  Usually I never make new years resolutions, but this one is doable.

Here is a song about new years resolutions

In The Age Of The Internet

Here is a poem I randomly started to write as a status on Facebook, but decided to post in a blog instead.

In the age of the Internet, news travels fast and five seconds later it is old
In the age of the Internet, people will believe anything
In the age of the Internet, people will have their nutty convoluted views and opinions affirmed
In the age of the Internet, there are ways to get things without paying for it
In the age of the Internet, jokes and sarcasm are not easily picked up by people as they are too dense
In the age of the Internet, the stupidest shit becomes popular
In the age of the Internet, people will start rumors on social networking sites because they seemingly have nothing to do
In the age of the Internet, people act differently than they do offline
In the age of the Internet, people think it's a big deal to hide their identity when you can easily be found
In the age of the Internet, people act like they know everything and don't like to be proven wrong
In the age of the Internet, people post statuses on Facebook saying they are bored yet they are on the Internet
In the age of the Internet, people say they support charities and causes, but in actuality, they don't do anything to prove that
In the age of the Internet, we have crafted a language specifically for use online because we've become too lazy to type complete words
In the age of the Internet, people like to label people without knowing them even if it is true
In the age of the Internet, things have changed for the good and for the bad

Random Fact #6 - "Eat It" by Weird Al Yankovic

What do you know, I'm back with another random fact.  As you can tell by the title, this has everything to do with "Eat It" by Weird Al Yankovic.  Oddly enough I heard this on "Q," a CBC talk show which has Yankovic as a guest on today's show.

The song "Eat It" by Weird Al Yankovic reached number one in Australia.  I bet you are thinking big deal.  Well, "Beat It" by Michael Jackson, the song in which he parodies only reached number three.  Also, it was "Eat It" that made Weird Al Yankovic uber famous.  Here is the song "Eat It" for your enjoyment.

Random Fact #5 - Muffin Top, OMG, Wassup, LOL, and More

"Seinfeld" has made a significant impact on pop culture.  It none more apparent than their coining of the term muffin top being added to the Oxford English Dictionary.  Of course the "Seinfeld" definition of muffin top is not the only definition.

Other words like OMG (oh my God), wassup, and LOL (laugh out loud) are among the many new words added to the Oxford English Dictionary.


They added such words like LOL and OMG because the English language is evolving.

You can see the full updated list here.  The Globe and Mail linked to the list in their article which you can see here.

Melting Snow

The snow has been melting the last couple of days.  It has made for a lot of puddles on the streets.  Big puddles that is.  Circle Dr., especially on the stretch with the businesses are on has a lot of big puddles.  There are other places where the water isn't draining as quick as it should.  Listening to the radio, we need a slow melt, not a quick melt.  It's just so that there isn't flooding.  But at least there is some warmer weather which means spring is on the way.

Snow

Snow, snow, and you guessed it, more snow.  What happened to the unseasonably high temperatures we've been having.  What happened to that?  In the course of a day, we dropped 21 degrees.  Going from +4 C on Tuesday to -15 C on Wednesday.  I'm not saying that I'm not used to the cold or anything, but all that in 24 hours takes some getting used to.  Then again, I live in Saskatchewan where the weather can change in an instant.

Floor Hockey

The last couple of weeks I have been playing floor hockey at Ebenezer Baptist Church.  Last week I got three assists while this week I got a goal and two assists.  My friend Rob has been playing and I decided to go and it's good exercise.  We play on Mondays.  So anybody in Saskatoon know where the church is located, we play at 7:00 on Mondays.  I can't wait for next week to see if keep my scoring streak and my points streak going.

Random Fact #4: Paul McCartney And Ontario Provincial Police Badge

Paul McCartney is seen wearing an Ontario Provincial Police badge on the cover of the "St. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" album.  "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" is an album released in June of 1967 by the Beatles.  I read this in the Canadian edition of the Uncle John's Bathroom Reader.

Gluttenous Is Not A Good Enough Word

Source: Toronto Sun

And you thought you were feeling full after your holiday meals.


A New Jersey mother who is trying to become the fattest woman in the world sat down for a 30,000-calorie Christmas dinner over the weekend.

Donna Simpson ate for two straight hours, the U.K.'s Daily Mail newspaper reported.

She ate two 25-pound turkeys, two maple-glazed hams, 15 lbs. of potatoes, five loaves of bread, 5 lbs. of herb stuffing, four pints of gravy, four pints of cranberry dressing and 20 lbs. of vegetables.

After that main course, Simpson also ate a "salad" of marshmallows, cream cheese, whipped cream and cookies.

"I eat as much as I want, whenever I want, but at this time of year I really go all out," she told the newspaper.

She also told the U.K.'s Sunday Mirror, "People who feel guilty about eating are hilarious."
Simpson holds the Guinness World Record for being the world's largest mother and has said she wants to become the fattest woman in the world.

People can sign up and pay to watch her eat online. Her website says her favourite food is sushi.

This woman is beyond a glutton.  She doesn't even care that her actions are effecting her.  By the time it's too late she will have so many health problems or will be dead.  Does she really want to be remembered as the fat pig who ate herself to death?  That would be a terrible way to be remembered.

I like food as much as the next person, but even I wouldn't eat that much.  She is not setting a good example for her children.  She is telling her children that it's alright to over indulge, make yourself look like a pig, etc..  What is disturbing is that you can pay to watch her eat on her website.  On the people with that type of fetish would do that.  I wouldn't pay to watch her eat.

I wouldn't be proud to want to be the fattest person in the world.  The fact she wants to be in the Guiness Book of Records as the fattest person in the world is disturbing and sad.  People who look in the book will be looking at it with disgust and distain.  The fact is she doesn't care, but when she does care, it could be too late.

Ugh... she is beyond a glutton if that's possible.  To be honest, if I had no conscience and no will power like she does, then I too would gorge out like that. You have to know when to say enough is enough.

Random Fact #3 - Jake "The Snake" Roberts

Jake "The Snake" Roberts never won a title in the WWF.  Even though he won titles elsewhere and was put in some good feuds in the WWF, he was never a title holder during his WWF stretch of his career or when he returned in the mid-90s for that matter.

Retards Jump Off Roof Into A Table

I know I've posted it and I still find it stupid they did this, but here is infamous clip of two dumbasses jumping off a roof performing a professional wrestling move known the Kryptonite Krunch, Celtic Cross, or Air Raid.  Yes there was a big possibility for injury and they knew that, but they did it anyways.  Apparently the guys in the video are trained professionals, but I have a hard believing that.

The best part of the video is people asking if they are okay and what's wrong.  Of course they are okay and of course nothing is wrong...  They are just rolling around in pain because they want to sell
it.  Oh wait... it's just some yard tards being yard tards.  Yard tard is slang term for backyard wrestler.  I can respect someone who actually decides to get trained if they once were a backyard wrestler, but people who just do backyard wrestling with no desire to get trained, then I can't respect that especially the ones who do the ultraviolent, extreme, hardcore, and deathmatch styles of wrestling like it's cool to do so.  It's best left up to the people who actually have training.

Have a laugh at theses two dumbasses expense.

Don't Speak English - Joke

I heard this joke on the radio one day, so I thought I would share it with you.

There was a married couple in an airport in New York City wait for their flight back to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.  They were dressed in parkas and boots.  There was another married couple who sees them and the wife says to her husband: "I wonder where they are going."  She asks her husband: "Why don't you go find out?"  Her husband replies: "You go find out because you want to know."  So she goes over to the couple, then goes back to her husband five minutes later.  Her husband asks: "So where are they are going?"  She replies: "I don't know, they don't speak English."
