 Um, that’s not right.
A coworker and I were just talking about the confusion in our country between English (aka Christian) and Metric (aka Heathen) units. I fell solidly in the heathen camp, as I much prefer working in Metric units. I’m slowly learning to think in those units, as well.

 He flies through the air with the greatest of ‘Bees…
Those of you who have been with us for a while may recall that back in 2011, our sister-site Hooniverse awarded their coveted Hooniversal Car Of The Year trophy to none other than the Official AtomicToasters Racing Hooptie, the now-world-famous ZomBee.

Henry Ford was a fairly smart man. He had come up with the Model T and a production method that kept the price low enough for many working folk to buy it.

I was just talking to a coworker and occasional reader of this blog about hobbies. He has recently picked up a new hobby…trebuchets. So, let’s say you need a hobby, but you don’t have a friend with a trebuchet. Maybe you don’t have any friends. Well, I may have something for you.

That’s it, right up there. The alarm clock. Hideous, evil device. According to legend, Plato had a large water clock rigged up with an alarm function similar to a water organ that would signal the beginning of his dawn lectures. In case you’re not so good with the history, that means the alarm [...]
