A few years ago, I was crossing the border from Canada back into the United States (in a rental car) and was pulled over for inspection. It ended up being extremely arduous and nerve-racking. The agents looked through every nook and cranny of the car and made me go into a secured room, empty out my pockets and take everything out of my wallet, laying the contents on a table.
Admittedly, this is probably not one of your Top 10 questions in life. You may have never even heard of “Pascal’s Wager.” Well, just think of how smart you’ll be after reading this article. You’ll be the star of the show everywhere you go with your newfound knowledge. You can impress your friends and bore your enemies!
So, what do you do if you have more than three children? The system doesn’t allow for it. Do some parents have more than three children? Yes, of course. But that system doesn’t allow for recording information for additional children. The system design was very short-sighted.
Children can ask the most interesting questions, which generally arise from a very sincere curiosity. One of the funniest questions I’ve heard was directed to a father by his very young son on the Fourth of July a few years ago.
When I was growing up (back when the Dead Sea was just starting to get sick), it seemed like everyone could eat everything. That’s probably not true, but closer to the truth than today.
Don’t get me wrong; I like eggs. I like them in my omelets, I like them in my French Toast, and I like them in my homemade chocolate chip cookies. Did I mention the homemade chocolate chip cookies? Oh, yeah, I did. Just didn’t want to miss that one.
My first job out of college was doing field service engineering for a company that made industrial compressors. Not the kind of compressor you might find in your garage that you plug into the wall and use to pump up your car tires. These compressors were up to 13 feet tall, and some were driven by 5,000 HP motors or jet engines! Yes, pretty massive.
If you’ve ever been to the United Kingdom or watched British movies or television, you are aware of the many unique words they use that aren’t always familiar to those of us in the US, where we speak English! 🤣 I actually think their version of our language is much more colorful and fun.
I love watching movies and documentaries about World War I and World War II. It never ceases to amaze me what those soldiers went through and the eternal gratitude we should have for their unselfish sacrifice.
Some questions are strange. “If you put bread in a toaster, do you put toast in a bread maker?” I thought of that one yesterday. I guess it’s just how my brain works or doesn’t work. 🤣 And then there’s another creation of mine, “How would you rate the number 7 on a scale of 1-10?” Or, “What’s the difference between a duck with one leg?”
What was discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock (which might not be a bad idea right now), you’ve probably heard of the James Webb Space Telescope. It’s the largest optical telescope in space and was named in honor of James E. Webb, the administrator of NASA from 1961 to 1968.
