today’s humor that didn’t happen

I was going to write something funny today, but it didn't happen.  Why not?  Well, it's really none of your business.  Do you think this is all about you?  Is there such a humor deficiency in your life that you are "missing out" if I don't post something funny today?  Okay, hold up.  I'm not trying to be harsh here.  I want you to enjoy your experience here at Buffet o' Blog .  I want everyone to laugh a little more each day.  I have only good intentions here.  That said, it's one of the other guys' fault.  There's 3 of us here, and I'm stuck carrying the load most days.  Not that I mind.  But I have other humor-deficient mouths to feed, so to speak, so I must spread the laughter around.  Y'know what I'm sayin'?  No?  I agree, that analogy doesn't make much sense.  And it wasn't funny either.  Perhaps that's why I'm not posting something funny today…  I mean, would you want me to write something that's not funny?  And would you want me to just keep drawing it out, rambling on and on and on, all while you feel dumber for reading it?  Of course not!  I wouldn't do that to you!

And so I'm not writing anything today… 🙂

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

Okay, so maybe it was just a huge chunk of ice.  But nonetheless, this actually happened and no one can explain it.  The piece of ice was about 3 x 3 x 2 1/2 feet.  That would really injure someone!  Fortunately only a clump of grass was displaced, and it is not planning to sue.

The experts really have no idea what happened here.  I was amused by the last sentence of the article :

It could simply be an unexplained "ice fall," one expert said.  Big balls of ice sometimes fall from the sky without any real explanation.

What an expert!  I wonder how much he gets paid for such in-depth and well-researched analysis…

I wonder if some budding evil genius was testing a climate control device.  People have been working on these for years.  If anyone has any info leading to who might be behind this, inform us (the Buffet o' Blog staff) promptly, because, well, we'd really like to check out this new toy!

non-flammable stuff

I think the label "non-flammable" constitutes a challenge…

(To make that thought more fun, employ the use of a flamethrower, or fireworks, or a rocket launcher in your imagination.)  🙂 

Scientists De-Stink Dung

In the news, scientists have figured out a possible way to remove the stink from dung.  If you want to learn more about the technique, read this article.  The new compound is supposed to turn dung into something that is "quite innocuous — neither pleasant nor unpleasant."  You still wouldn't want to keep manure around, but at least it wouldn't stink so bad…

One thing from the article, it says "Researchers are not yet certain why humans find these smells [of manure] so disgusting."  Uhh, I don't even want to touch that.  I mean, it's POOP!  Not only does it smell disgusting, but it looks disgusting.  And how do they test what makes it stink?  Do they remove one "ingredient" of poop and then smell it again?  Ugh…  (Imagine your business card reading "Chief Manure Analyst".)
