History was made on this day in 45 BC when chunks of ice were officially recorded as falling from the sky for the first time in Rome. It was reported by Senator Marcus Livius, who said aloud from the Forum portico, "Well, look at that!"
"What is it?" the Emperor inquired.
"Hail, Caesar."
C'mon, Zombie, the good folks who plan all this stuff out tell us they're forward thinkers. And we believe them, don't we? [insert sound of crickets chirping]
Now you're really getting me started. Whenever my workplace 'upgrades' to a new and 'better' computer system (which really means the...
Not sure if you watched or were/are a fan of the series Firefly, but when it came out nearly 20 years ago, I thought it was kind of believable that the Alliance that ruled the star systems depicted in the future was a mix of China and the USA.
All these years later, and with all the trouble...
I have to respectfully disagree on various points. Jesus was, to put it more accurately, against legalism, in which following the rituals and teachings of the Mosaic Law had replaced the true meaning of what Yahweh had intended Judaism to be about - living out the ideals of love to God and love...
I have plenty of atheist friends who are lovely people. No issue there whatsoever. That said, all of us, no matter what our beliefs, are prone to outbursts of selfish behaviour. The Commandments tell us what we shouldn't do, but Jesus went even further when He said "Treat others as you would...
I could never drum up enough faith in blind processes to be an atheist. I don't have any issue with anyone else's beliefs, but just from my point of view there's simply far too much design - ingenious design - in this world for it to have magically 'evolved' all by itself. From the tiny...
Well it's fortunately not quite as bad as that here yet, Tony, but give 'em time. They're nothing if not inventive, so I wouldn't be surprised what they come up with next week.
Don't know much about Fox, being here in Australia, but I'm happy to call out the lamestream media here when you constantly get incidents like this one: A scientist went on to a TV program well known to favour a particular bias, and then went on to criticise a certain radio personality for some...
Here's one I made up for the amusement of my daughter, who shares my warped sense of humour. Hope it appeals to you wrestling fans out there.
Q: What does a cannibal consider good value?
A: Entree the Giant.
This is not trivial, but it does tick me off: the voluminous amount of lies spouted by the lamestream media here, and the way in which millennials fall for everything they say as though it were true. Whatever became of simple commonsense? Didn't their parents guide them through the early part of...
Of course Yowies exist, ask Han Solo:
Seriously, though, the First Nations people have stories and legends about Yowies all over the country, different tribal groups using different names. What is freaky to me are the reports that people have made about feeling the hairs on the back of their...
Years ago, we used to have TV commercials for Solo lemon drink in a can that featured the "Solo Man", a macho dude with a big handlebar mustache who engaged in all sorts of outdoor activities like rock climbing and kayaking. At the end of his adventures, he would invariable "slam down down his...
