Ever Do This?

Just keep clicking the "Next Blog" button in the upper right of Blogger blogs? I must have clicked through about 50 blogs.

The first thing I noticed was the huge number of non-English blogs. Not really a surprise or revelation just I noticed it right off.

The second thing I noticed was that I hit over a dozen NEW BLOGS today. I mean blogs that had their first post yesterday or today. It may have something to do with school being out and the start of summer break but not all the blogs were by students(or teachers for that matter).

So what does it all mean? Haven't a clue. Can somebody enlighten me?

The Fresh Maker

Did you know that Mentos are covered with lots and lots of nucleation sites. Sites where liquids supersaturated with gas like Diet Pepsi and other pops form bubbles to release the gas? The result is a geyser of Diet Pepsi shooting as high as 20 feet and lasting a long time. If you haven't seen a video of some geek shoving Mentos into a 2 liter bottle of Diet Pepsi then you don't get out much. Here is the best in case you missed them.



UPDATE: The "Pepsi Girl" video can only be found here now.

Nehring The Edge: Jesus Loves You But Hollywood Thinks You’re A Jerk

Nehring over at Nehring The Edge pointed out that a Christian themed film, Facing The Giants will recieve a harsher movine rating. It is to recieve a PG instead of a G. The reason? Was there too much sex? No. How about violence? No. Bad language maybe? Not at all. It is getting the harsher rating because of the frequent references to Jesus Christ. In his post Jesus Loves You But Hollywood Thinks You’re A Jerk Nehring writes:

After reviewing the upcoming Christian film Facing The Giants the MPAA has stated the film, since it refers to Jesus Christ in a “proselytizing” way, may be too offensive for some filmgoers. As a way to warn parents of all of this nasty Christian business, they have given this reportedly meek film a PG instead of the expected G Rating.

He goes on to make this most excellant point:

By their move against Facing The Giants they have clearly affirmed that they are anti-Christian. Would they have dared say a film affirming Judaism or Islam needs to be marred with a “warning” to parents? Did they offer a harsher rating for The Da Vinci Code due to its clear offensive material? Was the audience of people offended by a film that denies the basic tenants of the Christian faith even thought of when The Da Vinci Code was given a PG-13? The answer is an obvious no. What of all of the G films which show Christians as the villains (go watch Pocahontas …actually, I take that back, it stinks skip it.) How many G Rated films cite Native American spiritual beliefs openly and in detail?

Read the whole thing and look around the site if you like movie reviews from a Christian viewpoint.

It's Been a Slow Couple of Weeks ... For Me Blogging

Okay I know the world has been hurtling towards madness at it’s usual pace. I just have not been commenting on it as much as I should be. Just to let you know, I have come down with a severe case of REAL WORLD.  My life at home, church and work has become incredibly busy. It doesn’t look like it will slow up till after summer.  I will continue to blog but I do not know how frequently I will be able to post.  So I am emailing this post to let you know.  Meanwhile read the funnies at the bottom, they change everyday!

Who's da Man? I da Man!

Gwynne at The Shallow End had this quiz:

Your Brain is 7% Female, 93% Male

You've got the brain of a manly man Feelings, schmeelings... tears aren't for you. You could break both legs and not get misty eyed. A great problem solver, nothing ever phases you.

What Gender Is Your Brain?

Yeah baby! I'm the MAN.

And While I am da Man, I still fall short compared to that man's man, Chuck Norris:

• Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.


• Simply by pulling on both ends, Chuck Norris can stretch diamonds back into coal.


• Chuck Norris does not go hunting because "hunting" implies a chance of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing.


• Outer space exists because it's afraid to be on the same planet with Chuck Norris.


• Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.


• There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.


• Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.


• Chuck Norris frequently donates blood to the Red Cross. Just not his own.


• Ghosts are actually caused by Chuck Norris killing people faster than Death can process them.


• Chuck Norris can divide by zero.

Freudenschade Baby!

Did you know that Karl Rove was indicted May 12th? Me neither. That rumor took off and had the left literally jumping for joy. Until they found out it was a lie. Missed all the left's merriment? Fear not. PJ Comix at DUmmie FUnnies (on my blogroll) chronicled the joy and subsequent meltdown of the denizens of the Democratic Underground.

Since the story spans more than 24 business hours (trust me you'll have to read to find out what that means) I will point you to another of my blogroll residents Mr. Minoriy who links to the DUFU posts in sequence in his post Much Angst in Leftieville - Still No Rove Indictment. A must read if for no other reason than to learn the etymology of freudenschade (not to be confused with the real word schadenfreude) and why the moonbats have taken a scatological interest in Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin's cat. I kid you not.
