random blog entry

Today it got down below freezing. brrrr.

I was reading this week that in 1966 the median age in Canada was 25.4 years old, but in 2006, it is 38.8 years old. Median means half the population is older and half is younger - so I think the average age is much higher. So inother words, if this were 1966, I would be on the dying half of the population. I don't feel old, but I felt severely out of shape playing hockey on the weekend.

Could someone please explain to me why most of the eggs in the Real Canadian Super Store are sold in plastic cartons?? The eggs are always broken in these containers. I had to sort through 6 dozen eggs just to find one that didn't have any broken eggs.

Also, is it just me, or is it hard to research stuff (say for school) on the Internet anymore without wading through the hundreds of personal blog sites? I guess I will go back to using the library.

I don't think I can afford that. I think these markets are overrated. What do you think? I would much rather live in Pemberton.

I thought this one was hilarious......

!!! BREAD IS DANGEROUS !!!

Research on bread indicates that:

1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.

2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.

3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.

4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread.

5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month!

6. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.

7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days.

8. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.

9. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.

10. Newborn babies can choke on bread.

11. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.

12. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.

In light of these frightening statistics, it has been proposed that the following bread restrictions be made:

1. No sale of bread to minors.

2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity TV spots and bumper stickers.

3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread.

4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage.

5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.

Blog - bye Yahoo....

This is kind of funny...

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where do you keep yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2 People who are willing to get off their backside to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually!

3 When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". You better believe it! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4 When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? They need help

5 When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Muppet, I paid $10 to come to the cinema and stare at the floor.

6 People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did you mate ?

7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, so it couldn't be new.

8 When people say "life is short". What the heck?? Life is the longest thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

9 When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus been yet?". If the bus had come would I be standing here?

10 When you are already waiting for a lift or at a pedestrian crossing and someone comes up and presses the button. Oh so thats what you have to do, I would never have thought of that!
