Fibber McGee's Closet o' Links
I haven't had a lot of free time lately, and I have this stack of links piling up in the corner threatening to tumultuously tumble down upon me, burying me in unposted links. Rather than responsibly referring to each one with a review and description, I'm going to "pull a Daisy" and simply spew them out with a brief blurb on their nature. Put your waders on.
- Sen. Rick Santorum has a feeble-minded plan to eliminate the weather predictions provided by the National Weather Service.
- Air2Water has a device that pulls water from the air.
- The All in the Mind radio show has an interesting article on the personal effects of ad pollution in our lives.
- When I worked at Mindscape, several of my co-workers decorated their cubes with kitschy gewgaws from the Archie McPhee catalog. Here's one: Bacon Strips Adhesive Bandages (free toy inside!). Bandages that look like bacon. Iiiiit's bacon!
- Researchers say you should listen to music to help you sleep.
- You may have noticed that I'm not fond of posting polls, surveys or quizzes, but one of them struck my fancy. It's a quiz that determines What Kind of American English you speak.
- Cathartic Kitchen Voodoo Knife Rack. Need I say more?
- Bob Parsons has 16 Rules to Live By.
- When the weather gets better I plan to start Letterboxing. "Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get!"
- Fun, educational Dinosaur Comics. This one reveals a secret of the medical profession.
- Scientists discover a method of putting mammals in hibernation on demand. This could be revolutionary.
- Where to find great free photographs...
That's all for now. But not to worry, I still have a pile in the closet. :)

The American English classification of speaking styles was amusing. I speak 75% general American English, 10% Upper Midwestern, and 10% Yankee. But, it didn't add up to 100%. I guess I speak 95% English and 5% something else.
Dave, referring to something you wrote awhile back, although I lived in Kansas for awhile, I'm actually from England. I try to speak in a Southern California drawl to fit in, but the English intonation keeps giving me away, especially when I'm upset. :)
I loved the bacon strip bandages. I'm a bit of a rabble-rouser at work and I am responsible for some recent changes. Perhaps, I should make bacon bandages my next project. Naaah. :)
