This seems like a really good idea, but I don't know why!

"Tsvangirai Accuses Mugabe of Preparing 'War' Against Zimbabweans"

huh?

I started out stupid and it's been down hill ever since

These are some of the things that I believed when I was a little kid:

White milk comes from white cows, chocolate milk comes from brown cows. This one is entirely my sister's fault, it's what she told me. In my defense, it had some face validity since on grandma's farm the white chickens laid white eggs and the brown chickens laid brown eggs.

When the doctor took your blood pressure he was measuring how much air you had in you. I assume this came from seeing a tire gauge being used to see how much air was in a tire.

All dogs are boys and all cats are girls. Hey, all the dogs that I knew personally were male, and all the cats that I knew personally kept having kittens.

Remember, until Sonny explained it to her, Cher thought the moon was the backside of the sun. I was not alone in my ignorance.

Fifth-Grader Corrects Error at the Smithsonian Museum

Created: 4/4/2008 2:15:25 PM

(NBC) -- A Michigan fifth-grader received a letter of thanks from the Smithsonian last week for correcting a mistake in one of the museum's exhibits.

Kenton Stufflebeam and his family went to the Smithsonian Institution's Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. during his school's winter break.

The 11-year-old student noticed that a display in the "Tower of Time" exhibit identified the Precambrian as an "era." Stufflebeam said his earth-science teacher had emphasized the word "era" did not apply to the Precambrian.

"And I knew it was wrong," Stufflebeam said. "The Precambrian is not an era, it's just the Precambrian."

Stufflebeam pointed out the error on a comment card and the museum responded with a letter acknowledging the mistake.

The letter read, in part, "The Precambrian is a dimensionless unit of time, which embraces all the time between the origin of earth and the beginning of the Cambrian period of geologic time."

And Stufflebeam pointed out his name and hometown were misspelled in the letter.

Give me a break!

I went to one of Moni's blogs -- this was the Word Verification:
I did not change the size, I did not squeeze it together.

ps. Hi Moni!

I get dumber every day

I realized yesterday, and I'm at least 800 years old, that "Cape Girardeau" -- as in Cape Girardeau, Missouri -- is not someone's name. Yes, that's right, I thought the town was named for someone whose first name was "Cape" and whose second name was "Girardeau."

In my defense, a "cape" is a piece of land jutting into the sea. The nearest sea to Cape Girardeau is at least 500 miles (810 km) away.

My vacant lot juts out into the lake a little. Maybe I should have signs made that say "Cape Jim" -- but, the Lake Board has a rule against signs. Maybe I could get by with flags that say "Cape Jim" -- but we'd just end up back in court again, remember these are people who argued in court that a gazebo is not a building (that it's a unattached covered patio).

My mother has no middle name!

Just like Harry Truman, my mother has no middle name. Harry had none because his parents thought it too papish. He got the "S" when he joined the army, it seems the army requires that you at least have a middle initial. In recent years it has become common for his name to be written "Harry S. Truman" -- this is incorrect and an insult to the man's religion.

My mother has no middle name, or initial, because she is one of 13 children and my grandparents got, you know, bored with the whole kid-naming thing. I have an uncle "Fidelious" and an uncle "Levern Edgar" -- let's face it, grandma and grandpa were just throwing darts at phone books by that time. Mother uses the first letter of her maiden name as her middle initial, I guess in case she ever decides to join the army.

I NEED TO RAISE MONEY

To pay my massive gazebo legal fees -- having three lawyers seemed like a good idea at the time.
