If you are as sick of hearing about Bin Laden as I am then you are in the right place today. Let’s have some levity. I noticed a few things about a popular figure some time ago that led me to an exciting conclusion. As you may have guessed that character is Jiminy Cricket from the Pinocchio story.
If you learn something new everyday then you are behind our pace here. Try to keep up with the knowledge and wisdom that spews forth.
Another educational week is in the books. I took notes and thought I would share them. There is a lot to cover so let’s get going on it.
This week has been full of all kinds of different lessons. Let us take a moment to ponder on these and take what we can from these valuable learning experiences. Some may be hard to handle but we must come to terms with new things learned.
We already looked at the worst Superhero ever earlier this week. Now let’s go over the best. That’s right, Superman.
Some movies are, of course, bad. And you feel they were a general waste of time. Then there are other movies that make you want to bust out the pitchfork and destroy anyone who was at fault.

I have always been annoyed by music being the same old junk sung by a different person under a different song name. There are two or three extremely overused chord progressions that drive me crazy and I saw a video the other day that demonstrated what I hate. They do a lot of songs that used the same progressions but, sadly I can think of quite a few more (I think I heard some salty sailor language somewhere on it. In case you are sensitive.)

Well troopers, it is the last day that we can possibly recruit anyone to the cause for my aforementioned Decade Crusade. Unless any of us live another 90 years we will never get the chance to write a date without the unnecessary “0″ before the year. If you have participated in the Decade Crusade leave a comment below and tell anyone else who has signed on to the cause to come to this site and leave a comment.
