Drinking 249 cans of Dr. Pepper in a short interval would be the end of me, folks. How many can you drink before you keel-over?
Check, this is your life I’m talking about here.

I just heard about an interesting story on the AP wire today that wonders
At a time when the U.S. is tightening its borders, how could a man toting a bloody chain saw be allowed to enter the country?
The answer is, easily. A man carrying “a homemade sword, a hatchet, a knife, brass knuckles and a chain saw stained by what appeared to be blood” was permitted to enter the US from Canada in April. The border guards confiscated his weapons but failed to detain him because “Being bizarre is not a reason to keep somebody out of this country…” Adding, “We are governed by laws and regulations, and he did not violate any regulations.” The man subsequently murdered two people, stabbing them to death and decapitating one victim, leaving his head in a pillow case under a kitchen table.
Do you think that if this guy hadn’t white he would still have gotten in to the US? Probably not. I can hear the civil liberties groups clashing with the border patrol now if this guy had been, say of Arab origin, and been stopped.
Another instance of someone having too much time on their hands. A woman in Australia has successfully trained her cat to use the potty.
Some people just have too much free time, and I’m so glad they do because then the rest of us get to enjoy stuff like this. Essentially, one guy has calculated the weight and blood volume of the Lord Jesus based on the principle of transubstantiation.
Jesus once weighed at least 2.4 billion pounds and had 138 billion gallons of blood. At the rate Catholics and other who believe in transubstantiation are consuming him, there might not be anything left very soon. I guess it’s a good thing the world is going to end soon or we’d run out of Jesus.
Didn’t know they were different than non-Mormon ones? Well they’re not — that is other than being more interesting. Here’s the deal, Amazon has created a concordance for many of the books they sell and I thought it would be interesting to find out what Amazon had to say about the Book of Mormon. Here’s a brief summary:
- The most frequently used word: unto (3648)
- The second most frequently used word: shall (2483)
- Number of times the word God appears: 1702 (Lord? 1622)
- Word per ounce of text: 10,415
Amazon also calculates the Fog and Flesch-Kincaid indexes of texts. Both of these are basically difficulty measures. For the BOM the Fog index was 16.8, meaning that to read and understand the book one needs approximately 16.8 years of formal education; the Flesch-Kincaid index is 14, meaning by that metric is it suitable for someone in 14th grade.
Something I have never considered before: the man date. This is what you call it when two straight men get together for a date-like activity, e.g. dinner, trip to the museum, etc. The Times makes a more thorough effort at a definition:
Simply defined a man date is two heterosexual men socializing without the crutch of business or sports. It is two guys meeting for the kind of outing a straight man might reasonably arrange with a woman. Dining together across a table without the aid of a television is a man date; eating at a bar is not. Taking a walk in the park together is a man date; going for a jog is not. Attending the movie “Friday Night Lights” is a man date, but going to see the Jets play is definitely not.
