What am I talking about?
March 31, 2014This post is a re-blog from Just English, with thanks.
I am not sure about the accuracy of the title, but I do appreciate the word play!
Only the British could invent such a language
We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
Then shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn’t the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that, and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!
And, in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother‘s not Mop?
If people from POLAND are called POLES
then people from HOLLAND should be then HOLES
and what to say about GERMANS… GERMS?!

“If you’re an adult, especially a cat-loving adult, a more sophisticated hotcake might be in order. It doesn’t get any classier than these Japanese pancakes, which serve as a playground for sweet frolicking kitties. And if pancakes aren’t your breakfast style, check out the donuts!
The cats are so cute you just want to eat them up. And you can, because they are completely edible! Actually, sadly, you can’t eat them because these adorable confections are not for sale. They are made by a Japanese housewife named Caroline, who bakes them up every February 22 (Cat’s Day in Japan) for her family to enjoy.
So, unless you marry into Caroline’s family, you’ll just have to ooh and ah over these awe-inspiring photos. And could you really stomach eating such pure cuteness in the first place? It would be like lighting up your kitty swatting a ball of yarn candle.”
Thanks, Katie, for this reference reblogged from The Cat Channel
Whose birthday am I celebrating?
March 22, 2014
On March 22, 2228, James Tiberius Kirk will be born in Riverside, Iowa. This is a town that takes its future seriously. There is a plaque in town to pre-commemorate the event and a starship graces the town square.

What is tattoo Tuesday about?
February 18, 2014On February 18, 1930, Clyde W. Tombaugh, an assistant at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, discovered Pluto. For over seven decades, Pluto was considered the ninth planet of our solar system.
Now we know that is not the case.
This video was made by C G P Grey.
Pluto may not be a planet (one less object to memorize in elementary science class!), but it is the basis for some interesting tattoos:
That’s Pluto up there at the top.
Still mourning the fact that Pluto is not a planet? As Neil deGrasse Tyson says, “Get over it!”
What was I LEGO loving?
February 17, 2014
I love this kid.
On Saturday, February 8, the Hampton Roads Naval Museum in Norfolk, Virginia, held its annual LEGO- shipbuilding contest. Read more about it at the Military Times Scoopdeck.
It looks like a wonderful time was had by all competitors – there were adult categories, as well as kids. The children are just cuter.
Here’s a fellow whose interests are close to Anne Bonney’s h-arrgh-t!
I was not able to participate this year, but who knows, maybe next year.
