Would You Believe...

How to Detect Lies – I suppose this works both ways: detection and a how-to-guide to perpetrate.  

 

So what is the average credit score? – Turns out that it’s 692. Also turns out mine is 800. If you read the first link, you would know if I’m lying or not. It also turns out that after the subprime mortgage mess this year, the average credit score is now subprime. 

 

Even more reason to pay attention to your credit report.

 

Speaking of which, If I were to drop my credit report off the Empire State Building, would it kill someone? It might kill you to disperse the information – or if nothing else, kill your chances at getting a credit card (or a date) – but it would probably do as much damage as dropping a penny off the same building.

 

You may want to know “what men think,” but perhaps it would be a good idea to find out what sex your brain is first…just so you know what perspective you’re bringing to the table! For the record, I seem to score more heavily female than male. So…am I lying? Would I be lying if I were to tell you that I’m Eurotophobic? How about Zemmiphobic?

 

Would you believe….a special effects technician has come up with the “next big thing” in advertising? You may have seen the Rolling Rock Beer “Moonvertising” billboards, but you’ve probably not seen a “Flogo” until now. Turns out a “Flogo” is a water-based foam that floats in the sky like a cloud, and unlike "moonvertising," it's real. The big public unveiling will apparently be in DisneyWorld. I swear, this one is true.

 
 

So, I enjoy the X-Files as much as the next guy. You know, all the “The Truth is Out There” and Cigarette Smoking Man’s Syndicate…all that. These guys are not only just a little TOO into the X-Files thing, they apparently have so much money that they can carry a THOUSAND dollars into a truck stop with them. I mean, what could be safer, right? Besides that, the government and Wal-Mart are tracking me through my money, so it only makes sense that they would want to microwave it to thwart the Fed. Of course you can’t use credit cards – although judicious use of credit cards can help your credit score – because that just makes it easier for the Government to track you.  

 

I’ll give you a hint about something – you want to know why this site’s main color is black? It’s because it is the color of authority and power. It’s true. Check it out.

 

Well, that’s my entry for the night. Please feel free to add your comments and/or suggested links.

Random Thoughts, Ceiling Fans, Celtics, and a Walk

Mindless thought for the day: I was watching a show called “Cold Case,” but was mightily disappointed when I got through the entire show and I realized there was no beer at all – never mind a cold case of it.   This is too funny:   Ceiling Fans: A simple 20-minute job accomplished in only 4.5 hours. My father in law and I spent 4 and a half hours putting up a ceiling fan in my bedroom today. What a disaster: two guys working on taking down the fan...

A Pronking Good Time

This is pronkrageous.  The urban dictionary defines pronk as "jump straight up" or otherwise the equivalent of the word "stotting."  The urban dictionary defines pronk as "jump straight up" otherwise known as the equivalent of the word "stotting." There is also Travis Hafner who goes by the nick name "Pronk," for a combination of "Project" and "Donkey," and it is for that meaning that I should out npc and...
