Merry Christ-mas!

Merry Christmas everyone! While Christmas is a time of family, friends, christmas trees, decorations, eggnog (a personal favorite), Santa, presents, a few classic movies (you’ll shoot your eye out kid!) — it is also a celebration of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. Son of Joseph a Carpenter, Jesus was THE most influential person of ALL TIME. Don’t believe me? Check the date.

A.D. stands for Anno Domini: “In the year of the lord” – it indicates a year counted from the traditional date of birth of Jesus; recently the P.C. crowd has tried to introduce the Common Era (C.E.) as a replacement to remove religious implications.

The interesting thing about Jesus is that he never obtained an advanced degree, never held a political office, never wrote a book, never traveled very far from his home, never comanded an army, never amassed possessions beyond the clothes on his back — and yet he changed the world. Argue that the change was good or bad, fine. But you can’t argue that he didn’t make an impact.

Merry Christ-mas-like Tune

I honor of the birth of the Christ, I have chosen a tune about Jesus. This song was recorded as a demo by Rich Mullins on to a something called a cassette tape (remember those things?) shortly before he died.

I find this song interesting as it kindof ponders the many ways that Jesus is regarded: Prophet, Teacher, Insurgent… I swear there is a longer version of this song somewhere… but Google is letting me down. Oh well, perhaps i will find it some day.

Well, who’s that man who thinks He’s a prophet?
Well, I wonder if He’s got something up His sleeve
Where’s He from? Who is His daddy?
There’s rumors He even thinks Himself a king
Of a kingdom of paupers
Simpletons and rogues
The whores all seem to love Him
And the drunks propose a toast Continue reading →

Tired of people that seem to think there cel phone is two cans and a really long string? SHHH! (Society for HandHeld Hushing) has created some handy cards to hand out to those people.

For instance: “We are aware that your ongoing conversation about _______ is very important to you, but we thought you?d like to knowthat it doesn?t interest us in the least. In fact, your babbling disregard for others is more than a little annoying.”

Nice.

A recent report out claims that Laptop Computers May Affect Male Fertility… yup, you’re wizbang new laptop could be causing your boys to not work so well. The funny thing is it’s not really your laptop so much as using your lap. Apparently, “Elevated scrotal temperatures have been linked to male infertility.” — Oh yeah, that’s a great quote. Lap-top use increases those temperatures. The study found that using a laptop caused a increase of +37F but interestingly the simple position of holding something on your lap (without a laptop or anything else) resulted in a +36F increase. So really if you’re worried about your boys, you should never sit down again… or switch to boxers… or stop reading scientific studies…
