Makin’ Ya Think Department:
A dear friend asked an intriguing question as we began a pleasant lunch: “What’s the difference between believing and knowing?" The discussion that followed wandered around within the spiritual: I believe in God, vs. I know God; and into the more childlike practical matters such as I don’t just believe that two + two equals four, I know it! What do you believe versus what do you know. Good topic for tonight’s dinner table (once you finish with the Leafs and their current woes).
Add Insult-to-Injury Department:
Trump scores yet-another small victory by getting his star put on Hollywood’s Walk Of Fame. Rosie is not among the stars on the famous sidewalk. Too bad, so sad!
Need Something to Worry About??? Department:
The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has moved the Doomsday Clock to five minutes before midnight. It’s been at seven minutes to midnight since 2002. The current 2 minute adjustment, according to the folks who decide this stuff, was done because of continuing nuclear activities in such places as North Korea, and now includes the threat of global warming. The clock was first set about 60 years ago, shortly after the US dropped atomic bombs on Japan.
A Problem Ya Don’t Wanna Have Department:
Too heavy for sex? Such is the verdict for Chuang Chuang of Bangkok, Thailand. The chap weighs in at 331 pounds, while his partner, Lin Hui, tips the scales at a mere 253. Chuang goes on a strict diet immediately to, hopefully, make him more attractive to his lady-friend. The pair of Pandas was rented from the Chinese, for a fee of $250,000, to try and boost a rapidly declining population. Inquiring Minds wonder how you get into the Rent-a-Panda business?
Continuing Our Animal-theme Department:
A daring skunk who travelled more than 3500 kilometres, from California to Mississauga, Ontario will return home soon, thanks to a couple of brave folks from a California radio show. The polecat survived the week-long journey hidden in a truck. As a public service to the rescue-team, W&W advises the average skunk can spray a distance of up to almost four metres. Stand back, and pay attention to the warning signs of an impending attack of seriously-bad smell, which can include foot-stomping and hand-standing on their front feet.
By the way, rumours the Leafs considered adopting the lad as a new mascot have been denied. (sorry, couldn’t resist)
