Rambler 42

During the remodeling of the kitchen, I was temporarily deranged. (My wife disagrees on the duration.)

The engineering student received an F on his design of a nuclear reactor. The professor said there were too many dangling particles.

Through DNA testing, researchers found that Evel Knievel had the Mexican Jumping Gene. His son, however, did not have it causing him to be the lesser of two Knievels.

College coaches get millions to coach and the student athletes (many from poor backgrounds) cannot receive any money. This seems to be a good way to teach values to students.

I hope my word splitting strikes a chord.

“Fantastic Voyage,” was a 1960’s sci fi movie about a trip through the blood vessels in shrunken, manned, submarine. Today they have small devices that can be swallowed to provide the inside view.

To save trees, disappearing ink will be used on future newspapers. The print disappears in 10 days. The blank pages are to be returned to the newspaper site so it can be reissued with new news (or old news during slow weeks). It will take careful discipline by the newspapers to ensure there is the same amount of news when the blank paper is reused. If there isn’t enough, they will have to make some up. (I believe much of it is made up or distorted today)

Early in the computer industry, it took 50 24” disks to record the equivalent of one 5 meg mps song. Now 4,000 or more songs can be recorded on an IPod, about the size of a pack of cards.

I went by the football field and didn’t see any growing.

The American Feminists’ Club will be meeting in Manly, IA, next week.

Low risk position: instructor for pulmonary rehabilitation classes. If your students become angry with you, they can’t catch you.

The William Tell Overture Society will be meeting in Archer, FL, next month. (The chairman is heading up the serving of apples)

“Star Trek” had a sequel “Star Trek the Next Generation.” Like Star Wars, they are considering a prequel: “Star Trike.” The Star Shiplet Enterprise had training force fields in this series.

Do magicians take courses in trickonometry?

I called the election office of Al Franken, candidate for senator in MN, and asked for a beer mug.
They said they were all out. Now my collection will never have a Franken stein.

Recent competition in the top market has led to a war of the whirls according to spin doctors.
