Dyson Has Yet to Even Acknowledge the Vacuum’s Arch Enemy
Their is no doubt that Dyson has made vacuum cleaners infinitesimally better more than once. But I’m not going to tell you that company’s ads. Instead, I’ll deal with that one topic the company and inventor have so far completely … Continue reading
Only Coke Would See a Bright Side to Living in a Big Brother State
Have you seen the latest feel good television advertisement from Coca Cola? Here in Canada and I don’t know where all else they are showing good deeds caught by surveillance cameras. All to the strains of the sweet song Give … Continue reading
China is Broke

Title Mining
The album Night Visions by the new band Imagine Dragons has a number of good songs on it. Indeed, one of my minor complaints about it was that the title Radioactive and On Top of the World aren’t very original. … Continue reading

Torso Sized Punching Bag
While waiting for the bus this morning, I could see into the park and saw a young man beating the stuffing out of a torso sized punching bag. He was using both punches and kicks but that wasn’t what impressed … Continue reading

Religiosity and Flags
Let’s preface everything by saying that religious symbols make poor symbols for a country. Even in the most devout religious areas, I doubt that adherence to a particular religion exceeds 90 % of the adult populace. Certain areas claimed and … Continue reading

Real Vampires Have Unkempt Hair
It’s almost taken for granted that vampires cast no reflection. Then why is it that they are represented as tidy, good looking characters in movies and books? Real vampires would have unkempt hair. Not tousled in a cute way like … Continue reading
