    dumb

    I saw a Ford Motor Company ad on television. It said, “We speak MPGs” and “We speak RPMs.” What are MPGs? Miles Per Gallons? And what are RPMs? Revolutions Per Minutes? Dumb! The other Ford TV ads are also lame.

    Speaking of dumb, on the Today Show, Ann Curry said that 90% of automobile accidents are caused by drivers. Really? Not 89 percent; not 91 percent; drivers cause exactly 90 percent of car crashes.

    One of the Today Show’s tips for dealing with automobile accidents is to wait until our vehicles stop before exiting. Really? I had thought that we should try to egress while our vehicles are crashing.

    Speaking of vehicles, my $4000 car was passed by a $440,000 silver Porsche Carrera GT on the Hathaway Bridge over the bay. »→

    geography lesson 2

    I read that Indonesia is a small country tucked away in a corner of the globe in South Asia. I thought, “Really? It’s small? It’s tucked away? The globe has corners?”

    Indonesia is 3,000 miles wide, it’s not tucked away, and globes don’t have corners.

    Domestic violence is centered there

    (from Indycar.com)

    Patrick’s name to be afixed [sic] to shelter

    “Go Daddy Group Inc.’s … CEO Bob Parsons announced that the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based domain name registrar would donate $500,000 to UMOM New Day Centers’ capital campaign to build a wing onto its existing downtown Phoenix facility that will be named the Danica Patrick GoDaddy.com Domestic Violence Center.”

    That’s a mouthful. Would you want a center of violence named after you?

    So … domestic violence in Phoenix is centered in UMOM New Day Center, but will anyone refer to the new wing as “the Danica Patrick GoDaddy.com Domestic Violence Center?”

    “Where do you work?”

    “I work in the Danica Patrick GoDaddy dot com Domestic Violence Center.”

    “Hey, Bert, we got a delivery  for you to make.”

    “Where to?”

    “To the Danica Patrick GoDaddy dot com Domestic Violence Center.”

    geography lesson

    I read an Associated Press article, excerpted here:

    “Winter storm wallops East Coast

    Charleston, W.Va. (AP) — A major storm moving up the Atlantic Coast … Up to a foot of snow was forecast in parts of Tennessee, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.“

    I hadn’t know that West Virginia, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania are on an Atlantic Ocean coast.

    Hmm … I had heard from a Rescue Mission client, a native of Pennsylvania, that the Penn state is “on the Eastern seaboard,” and I disbelieved him, because Pennsylvania borders no sea …

    The contemporary church is often a weak, ineffectual voice, with an uncertain sound. It is so often the supporter of the status quo. The power structure is consoled by the church’s silence, but the judgment of God is upon the church as never before. - Doctor Martin Luther King
