So, I told Jeff that this totally had to go on the site.  In the high tech world of corporate marketing, this just totally looks like something Microsoft would produce.  Check it out, it’s fun.

I may not have won the 365 million dollar Powerball drawing last week but I still feel like a million dollars. All with a little help from one of my favorite board games Monopoly.

What do you do when you only want to eat half of your can of Campbell’s Chunky soup or chili? You can use a Pringles lid to cover the can. Although it is a tight fit, it will ensure that the contents of the can do not spill.

FYI - One of the other uses I have found for Pringles lids is as a cheap Frisbee. With practice they can be bounced off of walls so that they go around corners with surprising accuracy.

Have you ever heard someone say that bananas with no longer be available in 10 years? Well this is not true. The Cavendish banana the one that is eaten across North America is threatened. However, there are many variations on bananas.

Bananas not on verge of extinction, says FAO

Snopes - Bananas will be extinct within ten years

And no, I did not eat a banana for lunch today.

I learned a few months ago that the ideal way to peel a banana is from what I had always considered the bottom. The stem is intended to be used as a handle while eating. To open the banana you simple pinch the end and it opens for peeling.

I’ve been told that this is the method that monkeys use. If you’re looking for an expert in banana peeling I would expect it to be a monkey.

The man, the myth, the guitar…  Who is the mysterious Buckethead?  Ten bucks to the first man who gives me his name…verified of course;)

So I’m a big fan of the TV show, but I’ve never really thought too much about the real Army counterpart.  For those of you that don’t know, or haven’t watched the show, or the movie, or have been living in a cave for the last 33 years, MASH stands for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital.  It was used as a base of operations to which wounded soldiers could be brought and treated.  According to this article, the last one was decommissioned in Pakistan today, 2/16/2006; the latest casualty in the war called progress. 

 Anyway, it’s an interesting read if you get the chance.
