For You Math Geeks
There I was, minding my own business and surfing the web when I stumbled onto something that I couldn’t stop laughing at. It’s true, I’m not a math geek. Yes, I took Calculus in high school, and my statistics professor in college kept referring to me as “the only one in this room to take Calculus” and I have a calculator that can plot graphs and play a Tetris like game back in 1995… But I disliked math. I had the music minor.

Prince Caspian at VeggieTales Review
This week, my alter ego (Peter Plum) will be taking a different twist on the latest movie of the Chronicles of Narnia series out this past week by Disney and Walden Media. Instead of describing the movie, I’ll he’ll be talking about the things that made a spiritual impact on him as he watched this movie.
There were a lot of lessons to be learned if you were looking for them, so come on over to VeggieTales Review and enjoy the look at Prince Caspian.

What Should Female Anchorwomen Look Like?
It appears that a Christian media watchdog group has come out and complained about what the Fox News Anchorwomen look like:
CHRISTIAN “media watchdog group” The Resistance is all worked up over the ultra-femme anchors of Fox News. The group’s leader, Mark Dice, rants in an e-mail, “I see shorter skirts on the women of Fox News than I do on the prostitutes being arrested on cop shows.” [Hat Tip: SayAnything]

How Much Did Those 24 Songs Cost You?
Software and Digital media always have a problem in that they do not really exist. Well, they do and they don’t. They do in the sense that you interact with them, but they do not in the sense that they are not something tangible. They’re virtual.
And as such, they’re next to impossible to keep 100% secure. Everything from your username and password to music to applications can be broken into, the question comes down to how much time it would take and is it worth it.
I know, scary to think about. Read the rest of this page »
Send Jack Bauer to Gitmo
Yahoo news reports that Keifer Sutherland (AKA Jack Bauer on the hit television show 24) has been sentenced to serve 48 days in prison for a DUI arrest.
Personally, I think that there should be a deal struck where Keifer could serve fewer days, but has to serve them at Guantanamo Bay– where we’re storing our captured Al Queda terrorists. I also think, as part of this, that they should be playing 24 episodes around the clock so that when he shows up the terrorists would recognize him and automatically confess.
Of course, if this were the show, the question would more likely be how long until the President comes in to pardon Jack for all his crimes. I don’t think Keifer will be as lucky.
Top 10 Modesty Issues for Men
Min’s been so serious lately, I thought I would drag thoughts in a little more light-hearted direction. So with tongue fully in cheek, I present the
Top 10 Modesty Issues for Men
- No Speedos. ‘Nuff said.
- Except for professional athletes, No Spandex!
- Midriff baring t-shirts were only acceptable for 80’s male aerobics instructors.
- Visible tattoos are fine for ex-military personnel. Only.
- Earrings are great - as a gift for your wife.
- If your hair is over twelve inches long, you had better have a Nazarite vow ongoing.
- Jeans with holes are perfectly acceptable up to a maximum of three holes.
- If you ride a Harley or a horse, leather pants/chaps are in, otherwise they are just plain out.
- Wearing nylons is only acceptable during the commission of a bank robbery. (Not that we advocate such.)
- Pants were meant to be worn with belts (or suspenders if you are a circus clown).
Feel free to add any issues I may have overlooked in the comments.
