Investigation Casts Light on the Mysterious Flying Black Triangle

I’m 33 today. I feel like this guy:

I never though I would care about getting older, but it’s starting to bug me. Who knew? It’s not like I’m eighty.

Sharing my birthday with me are astronaut Neil Armstrong, Carol’s cousin Matt and actor Chuck Campbell who strangely enough was born on exactly the same day as me in the same town and most likely in the same hospital, Grace Maternity in Halifax, NS. I’m adopted so who knows if our paths crossed in the nursery.

Also, on this day in history (August 5 1962), Marilyn Monroe was found dead in in her Hollywood home. That was exactly seven years before I was born. Maybe I am her reincarnated. Seven Year Itch?

Lots of other things happened on August 5th throughout history. Probably the coolest of which is that the Beatles released their Revolver album in 1966. It was voted best album ever in 2000.

NOTE: To see some of the content for August 5th on some of the above links you may have to enter the date in the form on each website. Durnit all!

This crater could be the reason theere are no more dinosaurs.

Archaeologists are mapping the Valley of the Kings. One day Carol and I will travel there. I have wanted to see Egypt since I was a youngster.

It looks like MSNBC let the shot go too early and it went wide of the net.

I just took this 5 Minute IQ Test and scored pretty well, 141. I tested at 147 in high school so it looks like all those years of abusing my brain haven’t done me too badly. Is 6 points a lot to lose? I guess if you’re a carrot or a wrestler.

My score qualified me to be a member of the High IQ Society. I think my IQ would drop 40 or 50 more if I were to actually pay the cash to join.

I guess some people have no shame. What folks will do to get a date is often quite revolting. Albeit, funny.

Hold down the left button on your mouse to pee in the snow. Then you can send your creation to a friend. Hehe!

Remember this year’s Olympic debauch with Salé and Pelletier? Who could forget? If you’re a Canadian that is. According to MSNBC News the Russian mafia was involved. Just like Carol’s Polish co-worker said when she heard of the whole hooplah in the first place, “Is Russian mafia!” Dirt bags.
