Way to go, Russell Martin Bliss, you fool. This is why we can't have nice things. And why the EPA is keeps looking for the next thing on the list to ban.

Today I learned that there is a theory that William Shakespeare was involved in the production of the King James Version of The Bible and left a "signature". iThe translation started when he was 46, and apparently the 46th word from the beginning of psalm 46 is "Shake" and the 46th word from the end of psalm 46 is "Spear"

It was a random factoid spouted by a character in a book I am reading, so I googled it.

Today I learned that if FIOS TV is out, I can't even watch recorded shows on my DVR.

What crap. It really wrecks the normal expectation of what a DVR should deliver.

I wonder what Verizon is monitoring when you employ the DVR. You're not getting commercials, right? Maybe it's like the Kindle where you have a local copy of the work, but only a revocable license to watch, listen, read it.

No, it's recording them locally. It's just that if the box can't connect to the server, you can't even get to the DVR menu. It just has an error message, and doesn't respond to the remote.

Well, he just stepped out to pee and it slipped out of park.

I wish commercial jets would do that.

I can see where you might make that mistake...Especially in one of my posts.

Today, Tuesday, August 25th, is the US National Park Service's 99th birthday. All National Parks had free admission today. Only 20 minutes left here, but you western time zones might get in a quickie.

Liver, fava beans, and red wine are three things that interact with a class of drugs known as MAOIs, early antidepressants that were sometimes used for personality disorders. If you eat those things and are on a MAOI it can kill you.

So the famous line from Silence of the Lambs,

"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."

...could have signaled that the patient was off his meds.
