Did you know a US Postage Stamp costs 41 cents? Yeah, so did I. Did you know that 41 cents ends up being one of each of the commonly used US coins? ME NEITHER!
Things like that are super cool for me. I have no idea why. Unfortunately, when the postage rate goes up again, there won’t be such a cool permutation of coins. The next coolest (and cheapest) would be the 64 cent stamp. I’ll leave it to the reader to figure out why that would be cool.
(I’m open to other cool permutations, but let’s be cost sensitive people. And 82 cents is too boring, so don’t even bother.)
Today was our first large Youth Group gathering. (My wife and I are the youth leaders for our church) The object lesson was a cup of tea, or more specifically, steeping a cup of tea. Here’s the video I made for the event. Don’t judge me.
Just in case YouTube is blocked for you, here’s a direct link to the file. Download away!
A literal star I mean. I would want to be a brown dwarf. They just look cool, what with their eerie glowingness and all.
If I couldn’t be a brown dwarf, I would want to be a star large enough to go supernova, because I think that’d be fun. I’d also want to be large enough to be a black hole, or at least a neutron star. I mean, that’s some cool stuff.
If I couldn’t be a star, I’d settle for a failed star, like Jupiter. At least it emanates light. It’s just so gassy, it seems a little lame. But I could have red storms and stuff. That’d be cool.
So if you could be a heavenly body, what would you be?
Today we took my oldest daughter to Urgent Care for pink eye. (She actually didn’t have pink eye, but it sure looked like it, and we didn’t want her to miss a day of school)
On the way home, Donna and our oldest were discussing the odd accent the Urgent Care doctor had. His name sounded Latino, but his accent almost sounded European. As Donna and I considered a Portuguese or other South American possibility, from the back seat, our 6 year old piped up. She said in the thickest, cheesiest, most “I can’t believe a 6 year old said that,” accent:
“Maybeee he was Frrrrench.”
I laughed so hard I almost had to pull the car over. As a bonus, for the next few hours my entire family spoke with fake French accents. For some reason, mine came out as a woman’s voice. I’ll pretend it was on purpose.
My oldest daughter loves pink camouflage. While it doesn’t look silly, it sure seems like it should. Why on earth would they make pink camo?
I wonder if it looks normal to me just because I see it so often. Maybe, there is a place that pink camo works. I’d kinda like to see it. As it turns out, my daily camouflage would have to look like school-wall bricks. Either that or a glowing blue outfit that looks like a monitor.
Hey, maybe that would be even more odd than pink camo. Glowing blue camo with white text all over. We could call it geek camo, and make millions. Or not. Feel free to send any investment capital my way.
This comic made me laugh so hard I almost had to replace my coffee-soaked keyboard. You may want to swallow your caffeinated beverage of choice before reading any further. (Yeah right, you know you read the comic before reading this. You open the present before the card on your birthday too, don’t you?!?!)
