The President has just confirmed that the DC earthquake occurred on a rare and obscure fault-line, apparently known as “Bush’s Fault”. The President also announced that the Secret Service and Maxine Waters have initiated an investigation into the quake’s suspicious ties to the Tea Party. Conservatives, however, believe that it was caused by the Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves.
I am surrounded by sickness here lately. Becky has been sick this week and is hacking and coughing and snotty when I go home. Will and Kathy are both hacking and coughing here at the office. Kathy has been making fun of me for wiping down my phone after she uses it!
For years I’ve been one of those people that wash my hands in the public restroom and then use the paper towel to open the door when I leave. Touchless is great, where everything is on sensors and my preference is for bathrooms without doors or with doors that open out, but that doesn’t always work. I’m not a big fan of the blower dryers for this reason.
Well, I’ve noticed that I’m apparently not the only one. More and more public restrooms have trash cans near the exit. (Keeps me from having to practice my basketball shot across the room!) I got a little vindication from Commercial Building Products magazine this month when I saw the picture here to the right. It came with the caption, “Mounting paper-towel dispensers near an exit door provides users the chance to protect themselves from any germs left behind by others. The conveniently located waste container makes it easy to keep used towels off the floor.” Good plan!
Well, I would have to say that I have been a fan of Star Trek since the original series. Yes, looking back it is cheesy, but it was one of my first exposures to science fiction. No I never had a pair of Spock ears. Yes, some of the current incarnations have been butchered mercilessly. But, really? Teenage Mutant Ninja Kirk? Really!?!
I wonder if Michelangelo’s realizes he’s toast in that red shirt…
So the other day I saw a picture of Joe Biden and couldn’t get over how much he looked like Jeff Dunham’s puppet, Walter. I went to google some pictures to prove my point and found that I’m not the only one that noticed the resemblence! Ha! There is a site here that points out what I noticed.
