Random thoughts.... post yours!

Did Native Americans in the 13th Century know they were living in the 1200's?

Are beavers jealous of Hoover Dam?

Where does the Muffin Man go?

Do peppers really grow prepickled?

Dear Liza, There really is a hole in the bucket!
 
Why is the North Pole the top of the world?

Who approached this planet on a vector that determined this?

Depending on which pole you reference as the top, the Earth spins both counter-clockwise and clockwise.

From your position on the planet the Sun is referenced as being over-head but if you consider that the North Pole is the top of the world it is to the side of you.

The Earth spins sideways to the plane of the Solar System. Tilt any model of the system on its side and look at the spin of the planet. It spins with the Sun in the center top.

Is East always to the right of you when referencing a map?
Why don't maps have designations depicting South as top as well?

Why are the continents (except Austrailia) pointy at the south but rounded at the north?
Even Greenland in the Northern Hemisphere is pointy in the south?

After spending most of the day yesterday outside under a blazing sun with high humidity, I learned why you are not advised to chug milk if you are dehydrated.

No ill effects but after chugging about a quart of milk I think my chest felt like I was having a heart attack. :eek:

Example: Walmart Cashier on Black Friday
A family member has recently started working as a cashier at Walmart. She says the job isn't difficult but I am waiting for her response after working Black Friday for the first time. :D
 
If you are wearing noise-cancelling headphones while listening to some music with the volume turned up, you have no way of knowing just how loud your burps are. :blush:

As long as you are using it for only personal use. You can't claim ownership, you can't make money or make sellable copies of it.
People do it all the time.
There are many online converters to convert Youtube music videos to mp3 and firefox has video download helper that makes scarfing the file a simple click.
The DVDvideoSoft Free Studio has every tool you might need. (It has bundled piggy-back software so be careful and read the install before you click, uncheck the boxes and you won't get stuff you don't want. (I have no problems but I read all installs)

I'm Thinking~~~ Grandbaby #12 within a month! Holy felgercarb I am getting old!

Since it's the month of Halloween or seems to be made into a month, with scary movies showing on various channels all month. I decided to make my avatar Halloween themed for the month.
 
Had to turn the heater on today. :( House got down to 63* last night with outside temps in the low 40's; the humans can cope with some blankets but Fuzzy Dog was having a hard time keeping warm on his own.
