Mobile Phone Throwing World Championship

Now there’s a Mobile Phone Throwing World Championship.  People from around the world went to Finland to compete.  The gold medal winner threw his phone 292 feet (which is about the length of a football field).  One contestant said three things were needed to compete : technical skills, power, and a sense of humor.

If they can make this into a sport that’s getting big headlines, we should make up our own sport.  We can have trophies, T-shirts, nachos, burgers — the works.  We’ll do it right.  And when it gets all popular, we’ll get some advertisers to donate food and stuff.  So let’s see… what could we do?  Any ideas?

my nose just exploded!

Hey, my nose just exploded!  Okay, maybe not quite.  It was more like a volcano erupting, which is kinda like an internal explosion.  The local indigenous peoples ran for their lives, seeking cover from the hot molten magma flying carelessly through the air.  Okay, maybe it was more like snot and boogers, and it didn’t go that far, but still, you don’t want to get any on you.

how easy it is to discard Pluto

Now that Pluto is not a planet, I should get credit for that question I missed back in grade school when I put 8!

Also, since they can just change the number of planets like that, a few of us took a vote during our lunch consortium and redefined the term obesity.  Now you have to weigh at least 450 pounds to be considered obese.  So what if most of the “professionals” weren’t there — apparently it didn’t matter to this group of astronomers and yet it “counts”.  So ours counts too!

Maybe we’ll have to vote on a few other things, too…  Let’s see, for starters, what about :

  • shorten the work week to 32 hours.
  • change the food groups to something more realistic (search for our post called “the food groups”).
  • which TV channels in our cable package get “voted off” and what we get to replace them with.
  • all work meetings over 30 minutes must supply cookies.

I’m sure there’s a lot more issues we can vote on.  Who knew it was so easy to change things?  I foresee a lot of similar votes to make the world a better place.

cookies for breakfast

This morning I had freshly baked chocolate chip cookies for breakfast.  That’s a great start to a day!  And it’s Friday!  And of course I had milk with my cookies.  Isn’t it strange that we like baby cow drink?  And that it goes so well with cookies?
