Blog Ideas Too Small to be Blogs

Ideas piling up - must purge...


It's theurapeutic for women to bake, cook, give backrubs, etc for men - ask any male scientist.

It's smart to let buses in ahead of you because the faster that large groups of people get to where they're going on mass transit, the clearer the roads are for you.

I learned all that I know about book-arranging from Lynnette Jennings on Homeworks 20 years ago.


There's an artist who dresses up her baby as dictators as a way to illustrate how we all begin life the same and have opportunities to do good, or inexplicable evil. At least, that's her story:  Crazy?

If you're feeling that the internet is being negative today, click on 1000 Awesome Things or go to YouTube and search "People are awesome".






Two strong examples of post-feminist thought are Xena and Lara Croft.

My hero is Winston Churchill, but I'd probably hate having to work with/for/against him.

Most forms of Christianity are compatible with Natural Selection and Evolution, so both 'sides' can stop being dicks, thanks.

A better term for voicemail is earmail.

Pardon me, is this feat taken?  I got to ref for a short time in Edmonton's World's Longest Flag Football Game record attempt.  Hilariously (for me), I was the ref who was there when the news cameras showed up. The players eventually did it, but a technical flaw kiboshed the attempt.  It was a great atmosphere...well done, people.






I've been summoned to jury duty 3 times in 10 years.  The first time, all 3 cases were cancelled while we were there.  Not picked any of the times...not even picked to go up and get quickie-evaluated.  The third time the judge was like Carol Burnett.

Since they don't have to give a reason for rejecting jurors, jury selection is the last bastion of racism, sexism, ageism, weightism, etc.

Odd street vehicles that were really fast: Buick Grand National, Dodge Li'l Red Express Truck, and the AMC Gremlin.

Want to go to France on a budget?  Go to the islands of St Pierre and Miquelon - they're controlled by France and are a 55 minute ferry from Newfoundland.

A helium balloon will move forward as you accelerate in a car/train/bus because it's essentially bobbing on top of the air, which sloshes backwards and pushes the balloon forwards.






Because of its aerodynamic downforce, a Formula 1 car could drive upside-down on a ceiling.

Guys named Jim and Scott are always decent. Know any who aren't Jimmy, Jimbo, Scotty?

I like the irony of a Smart Car following a giant dump truck that has "DO NOT PUSH" on the tailgate.

The shaky camera technique popular nowadays is supposed to mimic gritty news footage, not first-person perspective. Please stop overusing this tired technique. My vision isn't shaky like that unless I'm on a roller-coaster or Edmonton's spring roads.

Texting isn't wrecking English, it's just bringing it back to the days of telegrams.








When driving over a crosswalk, I drive over the unpainted areas.

The ketchup on French fries is better out of the packets than a bottle.

A gal doing jumping-jacks under a fluorescent light will look like she has many boobs.

A cheap way to simulate driving in England is to look in your rearview mirror.  Right hand drive!

You can rent a furnace.






Because of the huge downforces engineered into them for cornering, the aerodynamic drag on a Formula 1 car is higher than on my Jeep.

You know how people laugh at the geezer with a pocket watch because of how impractical he is? Ask anyone the time nowadays and see what happens.

CFB Namao was one of the emergency landing strips for the Space Shuttle.
