Advertising With Purpose
At first glance everything about bus bench advertising seems wonderful. The advertiser gets their message out there, the bus passenger gets a place to sit, and the advertising can be incredibly local. Sometimes I am one of those bus passengers. … Continue reading
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

Mountaineers in Space

Are Plants Drunk Off the Excess Carbon Dioxide?
Very often, too much of even a good thing can result in wonkiness. For plants, the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere because of all mankind’s activities, is probably a good thing for them. You see, plants take in carbon … Continue reading
The Articler
The astute among you will notice that the title has a made up word. The name might make sense if you follow the rest of this post. Over 4 decades ago, mankind first set foot on the moon. It was … Continue reading
In the Presence of Dentyne
If you watched television in the last couple of years, chances are you’ve seen the ‘practise safe breath’ Dentyne campaign for that brand of gum. Basically they use condom like situations to provide the comedy for these ads. I don’t … Continue reading
