Stop the presses! Today I've got a scoop on Joe Bruno's family life!

Awfully Shrill

I'm shocked!
Here's something from an America-Hater™.
That America-Hater™ crowd loves to hate!




If you were born today, you share it with Dolores Ibarruri, Grace Murray Hopper
, and Worf.
No one marginally reprehensible seems to have died today, unless one considers Louella Parsons.

Difficult Because He's Rather Tall


"They have defecated on Bruno!"

If you were born today, you share a birthday with Rainer Marie Rilke, Wassily Kandinsky and Thomas Carlyle.
If you die today, you'll share it with Cardinal Richelieu.

Get Those Chimps off my Lawn


Chimps are better at math than me now? Not really, they're stronger and faster at memory tasking, apparently functioning with better eidetic memory than humans have when duplicating numerical sequences on a video monitor. In competition with college kids, both had a success rate of 80%. When the numbers flashed faster on a screen, the kids' success rate dropped to 40%, but the chimp's success rate remained the same. This story was mentioned on the radio today, but ironically, the numbers regarding the percentage drop of the students was reported a little wrong. Pass the banana daiquiri.

Shall we redesign our banner?


"Let me tell you, on a day like this, driving on the Northway is no walk in the park."

We may revise our banner a bit, and are considering having a contest in which you the reader might vote on the final selection. This seems like a reasonably liberal way in which you might participate in our online community. We will have a parallel contest in which you the reader help us decide if we will be paying the logo designers for their efforts.

If you were born today, you share your birthday with Joseph Conrad, and Jean-Luc Godard. If you die today, you'll share it with Mary Baker Eddy.

From my BasketBall Diary


In this world of hurt and pain,
I need someone who would help me through the rain.
To comfort me when I'm sad,
Doing everything just to make me glad.


In this world I need a Brave Knight,
Who would never give up any fight.
A knight who would dry away my tears,
Telling me to overcome my fears.

A knight who loves me for who I am inside,
With him there's nothing more I need to hide.
A person who will still be standing strong,
Even though everything has gone wrong.

I need someone who is willing to give me more,
Someone I can call my Knight in Shining Armor.



We are shocked!


We are shocked! We have been made aware of a new radio station in the Capital District that is apparently an expensive and elaborate parody of our blog. 

If you were born today, you share a birthday with Martin Klaproth, Samuel Kirkland and Minoru Yamasaki.
