Happy At One Hundred: Aging Can Be Beautiful [10 Pics]
I just love old people. They are so cute and full of wisdom. When I think about all the stories my grandmother told me before she died, it makes me smile. I wish I could sit with her again and listen to her talk about how her parents couldn't afford to raise her during the war, so they put her in an ...
The Urinal Design That Gives You A Health Score On A Touchscreen
One thing I don't understand about men is why so many of them have such a fascination with peeing and farting. When my son farts, you'd think he heard the funniest joke in the world. He laughs and laughs, and as much as I don't understand why that's funny, he can't understand why I don't laugh. What ...
The Twitter Environmental Effect: A Unique Doomsday Infographic
Yesterday my son asked me why so many people say the world is about to end. That is a loaded question when you think about it. He even mentioned a date when it is all supposed to end, which is tomorrow (January 2). I even found a countdown to the end of the world on My Countdown. At the time I'm wri ...

World’s First Lego Greenhouse Built With 100,000 Lego Bricks

How To: Live Forever (Ok, Maybe Not, But Almost)
If you could live forever, would you want to? Seriously, if there was a way, aside from becoming a vampire, that you could live forever and never die, would that appeal to you? I don't even have to think about it for more than a minute. My answer is heck no. As a matter of fact, I'm looking forward ...

Hugs flow in abundance in social media, and ...
The Man Who Counts & Catalogs Every Sneeze
I am an expert sneezer. I know what you are thinking, but I really am. If you were to ask anyone I grew up with or anyone in my family, they would confirm it. I am allergic to trees (along with about ten other things). I spend a lot of time in nature, so as a result, I sneeze a lot. When I was young ...
The Healing Power Of Banana Peels
Apparently banana peels are a kind of miracle drug, and I'm just now finding out about it. Since I'm not a big fan of medicine, I'm really excited about this. I'm all for taking a piece of tape and attaching a banana peel to my body if it will do what some people claim. I might look like an idiot, b ...
10 Purchases That Might Indicate A Midlife Crisis
Recently someone I know suddenly sold her house and gave away almost all her possessions. It was such a bizarre move, and to me, seemed very out of character. She is about 50 years old, and when I was telling my friend about it, she said, "It sounds to me like she is having a midlife crisis." I was ...

Bicycle Wine Rack For Sophisticated Geeks
I'm a huge fan of bike riding. It's my main source of exercise, and I ride my bike all over Atlanta. There is nothing like feeling the sun and the fresh air on your face while zipping around on a bicycle. Since I enjoy bike riding so much, I usually notice designs that are created around bikes.
