Learnt a few things. All county roads in here are named after letters. County road A, B etc etc. Also found out there is a falls called Sheboygan falls on the river called Sheboygan river by the city Sheboygan in the county called Sheboygan.
This makes Wisconsin only marginally more innovative than Atlanta where we name all our roads Peachtree!!! 🙂
It appears that research at CMU has shown that if you think of food, you feel like you have eaten it!!! Your appetite goes away!!!
Or as a modern day Shakespeare would put it…
“There is nothing food or so m’lord
Only thinking makes it so”

Scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, found that body mass index, waist-hip ratio, waist-height ratio and waist circumference all increased with increasing exposure to light at night.

Are you kidding me? This the Institute of “Cancer” Research. Why are they studying what makes people fat? And how did they even come up with the idea of switching off and on the lights as people sleep? Who is giving them research money?
Can they not, for just now, accept eating less food, exercising a little more as the answer? And whatever little fat is leftover, maybe they can come back to it after they have….. let’s say…. errrr…. found a cure for cancer or something?
Just came home to a really irate Nikita. Evidently, Sharmila had showed her the press release and she had read every word of it. Moment I opened the door to step in, she demanded to know “Mister, all these days you told me you work in technology. But looks like you were doing fraud. How come you never told me? Are you ashamed of yourself?”. I looked at Sharmila helplessly, not knowing what hit me. She mentioned about the PR and I was able to quickly put two and two together.
Barely suppressing my laughter, I explained – “No, we used technology to catch fraudsters, not to commit fraud”. Somewhat incredulous, she demanded to know next “How come your new company knows so much about you? Are they stalking you?”. “No, they are doing no such thing,” I assured her, emptying my pockets into the kitchen drawer.
“Well, then there is only one explanation. Your new company is already your Facebook friend”!! At this point, I had had my share of fun. So, I readily admitted “Indeed, that is true”. “One day, you will get into trouble making friends with strangers”, she warned. Then, she stomped out of the kitchen with her little feet and went up to her room 🙂
Ah! The small pleasures in life. Why do they grow up so fast?
USA Today reported “GM recalls another 2.4M vehicles for belts, bags, etc”.
You know you are in deep doo-doo when you have to recall your cars for “etc” 🙂
You know, this year alone, GM has recalled its cars for the 29th time (per USA Today). At this rate, instead of naming different car parts every time and then resorting to “etc”, would it not be easier just to say “GM recalls cars due to cars”? 🙂
Did you hear about the guy chanting “I am God” and trying to ram a Maryland TV station?
This was always a pious Christian’s worst nightmare scenario. One day, God was bound to see Alec Baldwin in those cycling shorts biking the wrong way on New York streets and say to Himself “This is it. I cannot take this anymore. I have to atone for their sins. Let me pack my gun and bring out my dump truck. I am going to destroy the world. But I will start small. You know a TV station first. Yeah! I know, I will start with the Baltimore TV station first and then work my way up”
