It usually takes about 12-18months to build a rocket, however, they can do it under 60 days. They can achieve this because they created the largest metal 3-D …
Wife carrying has a dedicated following in the UK and some parts of northern Europe, however I don't think this will make it to the Olympics :-) Although it does have a UK Champion final...

Passover, Easter, April Fools, Good Friday, Palm Sunday...the perfect holiday storm. Chopped liver, easter eggs, slow cooked brisket, golden maple ham, plus so much more, all converging in stomachs across the United States (at least in this household:) Family, laughs, hugs, smiles, deep discussions, jokes, prayers, traditions are all a part of my …
Tooling along in the right lane, south on rte 135, last week at about 60 mph (cruise control), listening to a book, heat seater and steering wheel heater on, and I'm enjoying the moment.

Your intrepid blogger has dug up a fascinating true story. More than 131 years after being thrown overboard, the world's oldest message in a bottle has washed up on a beach in western Australia.

There's nothing like a good massage. It loosens up your whole body and relaxes your mind. I was fortunate to enjoy one last week. My masseuse was a woman who was obviously visually impaired but she greeted me with a warm smile and showed me to the room, subtly touching her surroundings as she found her way. While I undressed I wondered what this …

However, The Fat Boar, a pub in Wrexham, north Wales, is offering people 25 per cent off their food if they lock their phones away in a box on the table. They then have t …
Watching the Olympics last night gave me pause. It was not the pagentry, CGI spectacular, fireworks or even the speeches. It was the symbolic, yet real, unification of North and South Korea marching into the arena under one flag. It was heart warming and hopeful.

It's Saturday...and anything goes.
