Chuck Norris Responds to Chuck Norris Facts
Chuck Norris has a column!
"Alleged Chuck Norris Fact: "Chuck Norris' tears can cure cancer. Too bad he never cries. Ever."
There was a man whose tears could cure cancer or any other disease, including the real cause of all diseases – sin. His blood did. His name was Jesus, not Chuck Norris.
If your soul needs healing, the prescription you need is not Chuck Norris' tears, it's Jesus' blood. "

Liturgy for the Blessing of a Mini Van
felix hominum: Liturgy for the Blessing of a Mini Van:
"We come before you, and indeed even enter into your most inward self, O blessed mode of travel. We come in the weakness of our commute, our pilgrim journey amidst the busy rush of life. It is you, O Mini Van, who carry us beyond our present places of indifference and solitude. In you alone many may gather and vacation as one; it is through you that all are invited to come and share in the One Ride. "

I'm a Little OCD
So, I couldn't help but look these things up as soon as I got home to my Webster's tonight:s
A bagman is "a person who collects or distributes illicitly gained money on behalf of another"
Vavilov is the Russian botanist and geneticist who between the two world wars formulated theories concerning plant immunity and the geographic origins of plant species that had been actively cultivated.
Valencia is in Spain.
And Rory was right about the crane wife myth - not that I doubted for a second, I was just checking facts and figured I might as well throw that one in whilst in the process of looking up others.
My haircut is cute.

Firework factory accident
YouTube - Firework factory accident
The good - An exploding firework factory is one of the most impressive explosions ever.
The bad - Cameraman and 22 other people die in the explosion.

Fametracker
Where to start...
The Fame Audits are remarkably addictive...
Hey It's That Guy provides nice shout-outs to character actors...
Celebrity vs. Thing and 2 Stars 1 Slot aren't like, crazy funny, but still really funny in concept...
Oh, and Galaxy of Fame, each edition of which places nine celebrities as planets orbitting Harrison Ford's sun.
Let's just say I, uh, didn't do a lot of work yesterday because of Fametracker.
(Aside to Kate: It shares some authorship with Television Without Pity. Neat!)

Disposable vs. Reusable
Aha! I knew someone must have done this research.
Disposable vs. Reusable
Turns out you have to use a ceramic mug 1006 times before it's more energy effecient than using that many foam cups. Take that, dubious environmental concepts learned in the 1970s!
