Run for your lives!

Somehow this one rushed right by me. But then when it caught up and I watched the video, I became afraid...very afraid.



Hmmmmmmmm. I once grilled a banana that looked quite similar to this. I didn't eat it.

What is concerning me is...what if this was actually the Madonna...the non-singing one...you know...the mother of...you know.

Daddy, this is what I did today...

Got this from boingboing.net

Being the father of two very verbose daughters, I immediately identified with this 12 MONTH old baby. This is a short clip, if you want the entire thing (and it's worth it) go HERE.

Wondering

In 1894, Rudolph Diesel filed for a patent for his new invention, dubbed the diesel engine. His engine was the first to prove that fuel could be ignited without a spark. He operated his first successful engine in 1897.

In 1898, Diesel was granted U.S. Patent 608,845 for an "internal combustion engine".




As I am wont to do, I began to wonder the other day, what if Rudolph had not invented the diesel engine. What if Joe Smith, or Ron Jones, or...JadedJ had done so? What if? Would the fuel then been named, Smith...Jones (give me 10 gallons of Jones), or JadedJ. Would we see signs all over the world like this?

And then of course that lead to other thingies that are named after people. Here are some of them. Just insert your name in front of the thing.

I particularly like Guillotine. "He faced his demise on the scaffolds of the JadedJ."
Or, this one...Molotov Cocktail. "The tank was destroyed from above by a thrown JadedJ Cocktail (gasoline mixed with copious amounts of vodka)."

This is a partial list, for sure.

What struck me about this useless exercise is, the names usually fit the thing. Whereas, Jones, Smith and JadedJ do not. Or, is it that I am so used to the names, that the thing fits the name. Does anyone understand what the hell is going on in my mind regards this?

Oh yeah, I forgot. If your life is so miserable that this post interests you, and you would like to follow up with further study, try this site HERE.
