Dan Roth - Pastor of Disaster

Until those spaceships are available commercially, here's the ultimate toy for all of us gadget addicts. Wow!

Okay, this is definitely one of those things created just for blogs... but I had fun. The questions are actually surprisingly similar to serious personality tests I've taken before.

Your results:
You are Spider-Man
You are intelligent, witty,
a bit geeky and have great
power and responsibility.

For an amateur effort, this is pretty funny:

See, I knew YouTube would prove itself worthwhile eventually!

Remember when you thought the black-light posters in the back of Spencer's were cool? How about a black-light pig? Not one merely painted or dyed, but actually genetically altered with jellyfish DNA!

I love this quote:
"although the pigs glow, they are otherwise no different from any others"

Isn't that kind of like saying, "except for the extra head, that baby from Egypt is just like any other"?*

It's a wild world we live in.

In case you wonder why you send your legislators to your state capitol, it's so they can pass important legislation like this resolution honoring Napoleon Dynamite.

Here's some great quotes (the numbers are lines in the bill):

18 WHEREAS, Uncle Rico's football skills are a testament to Idaho athletics;

27 WHEREAS, Napoleon's artistic rendition of Trisha is an example of the
28 importance of the visual arts in K-12 education;

and the best:

2 WHEREAS, any members of the House of Representatives or the Senate of the
3 Legislature of the State of Idaho who choose to vote "Nay" on this concurrent
4 resolution are "FREAKIN' IDIOTS!" and run the risk of having the "Worst Day of
5 Their Lives!"

I imagine this woman must have some difficulty in life due to her name. Then again, name recognition is important in Real Estate, and I bet nobody forgets hers!

Thankfully, she at least seems to have made it out of school before the new meanings for her names were as widely used as they are now.

There's been debate over the years as to whether or not those ultrasonic flea repellents or mosquito repellents really work. Well, here's a repellent that works for sure... but it works on teenagers and children (and many young-to-middle-aged adults too).

Here's a quote from the article:
The device, called the Mosquito ("It's small and annoying," Stapleton said), emits a high-frequency pulsing sound that, he said, can be heard by most people younger than 20 and almost no one older than 30. The sound is designed to so irritate young people that after several minutes, they cannot stand it and go away."

I have to admire the ingenuity of this guy, and there's times I'd like to have one, given that in our urban neighborhood we have given teens permission to sit on our steps, only to be repayed by breaking our outdoor lights and egging our house.

However, there's something very wrong about the idea of a device that pushes youth away because we find them inconvenient. Imagine the uproar if someone created one of these to keep senior citizens away from a public place!

Apparently a few people don't like the idea of little kids coloring a picture of a man who just killed himself, even when that man is Judas Iscariot. At least, that's what I gather from The Applesauce Kids' Christian Coloring Pages. I can understand why some people would object, but I don't understand why John the Baptist's head on a platter gets a free ride!

My heartfelt appreciation goes out to all of you who have taken the time
and trouble to send me "forwards" over the past 12 months. Thank you for
making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy.

Extra thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat droppings in the glue on
envelopes cause I now have to go get a wet towel every time I need to seal
an envelope.

Also, I scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason. Because of
your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet
stains.

I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr Pepper since the people who make these
