Wednesday's Odds 'n Ends Blog

Here are a bunch of links that I thought I should post. There is no specific topic of anything. Hope there is something here you find amusing.

• For the parents, who really want to make sure that kids don't waste time not learning...
• I am not even sure what to say about this item - but this is for you Lego fans out.
• Haven't seen the iTunes/Pepsi 2005 commercial yet? This is the link for you.
• Of course if you haven't seen the iPod shuffle ad, you should certainly check that out here.
• Just to show that I am not completely anti-Microsoft, you can get the new MSN Search tv commercial from the MSN Newsroon.
• More Microsoft news: Microsoft is going to buy a anti-virus software company. It's good to know Microsoft hasn't changed it's business practices.

Beavers

This evening we have a highly educational topic: Beavers

These woodland creatures are unusual animals - part of the rodent family. Beavers often weight from 45-60 pounds. Often, beavers can be found in Canada and British Columbia. The beaver constructs it's home from twigs, sticks, and mud. They have webbed hind feet and their tails are often described as being "rubber-like".

The Truth About George

Last Wednesday the President of the United States gave the State of the Union. Lots of discussion since then has been about politics. In light of this - I decided to post a link to a couple of links I find amusing.

• The Truth About George - this site is a great place for information. The site states that: "As long as Bush and his cronies continue demolishing our rights, TheTruthAboutGeorge.com will be here." If that doesn't make you check out the site, I am not sure what will.
• If you are into Bush humor, I highly recommend this list - the top 50 Bushisms. (Now my question is - how did they manage to narrow it down to just 50?)
• Of course, don't forget to pick up your Anti-Bush t-shirt on your way out.

On a complete side note, maybe we should elect him president. I am sure he will be looking for a job... (I wonder what kind of shoes he wears. He did wear a dress in a couple TV show episodes.)

(Yep, I know - I have a really strange sense of humor).
