One country, fearing the loss of cheap oil, which happened to be located in another country, dropped bombs on that country, seeming to forget for a moment that oil was, well, flammable. Not to worry. The other country remembered: fearing the loss of control over their oil, they set fire to it.

In our society, girls still get the impression that men as a whole are better than women. After all, they’re the presidents and the CEOs and even the supervisors. But when you raise a girl to believe that all men are better than her, you raise her to date, have sex with, fall in love …

At the gas station, I saw a couple guys on their way to their hunt camp. “How many squares did ya bring?” the one asked the other. A case of 24 bottles of beer is not square. It’s rectangular. And God help us, they’re the ones with all the spatial ability.

How a Dog is Not Like a Kid
How a Dog is Not Like a Kid 1. A dog is generally kept on a leash when in public. 2. When a kid gets tired in public, it whines and tugs and whines – instead of quietly curling up and falling asleep. At your feet. 3. A dog can be ‘toilet-trained’ in a week …

I once saw three big fish in a teeny little front yard pond. Must’ve taken a whole two seconds for Bob to swim from one end to the other, passing Harry, and back, passing Joe. I sure hope all three have that short-term memory thing where you can’t remember what you just did.

I was reading the other day about cave art, how there are a lot more pictures of animals drawn in profile and than in frontal view.
