These Are The Things I Think About -- July3rd-8th

Well if it is Monday and you are reading this, congratulations your computer isn’t hacked. In the US the FBI are shutting down servers Monday in attempts to get rid of an internet virus. Internet service around the world could be affected. Keep an eye out for that! Yes the start of the work week could turn into a real mess.

If the internet does go down you won’t get to check out the new facebook feature. Facebook has added same-sex marriage icons. Congratulation gay folk, you now too can annoy the hell out of everyone with your ongoing relationship updates….Anderson Cooper*, you’re first.       

If facebook adds a self-sex icon, watch for multiple postings from Shades of Grey readers…...and teenage boys.

Classy segue, perhaps the first icon to promote self-sex, the Bikini celebrated its 66^th anniversary this week! And, in what is arguably one of the best marketing lines ever, the Bikini was originally described as “4 triangles of nothing”…brilliant!          Its not too late to award the inventor of the Bikini the nobel prize…What other clothing item has brought this much joy the world?!…I'm just sayin’…

From the 'Only In America' files. Fourth of July celebrations were on in the US this past Wednesday. One of the many annual traditions is the Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Competition. This year Joey “the Jaws” Chestnut ate 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes to win his 6^th straight  champion title. I crunched the numbers. In 10 minutes Joey consumed over 21,000 calories! The average adult is supposed to consume around 2 thousand calories a day, in total. So, Joey ate more then 10 times the daily input in 10 minutes…Does this mean 10 times the output his next trip to the bathroom?….He’s gonna need a stack of Toilet Paper rolls, an Encyclopedia. And probably a plunger.

Finally, Tim Horton’s across the country will be offering free wifi at their locations. Check your email in the drive thru. This free wifi will most likely make every Tim Horton’s even busier…like we needed that. I just hope they’ll have some sort of filter to block out the porn sites. The only Double Double I wanna experience at a Tim Horton’s the coffee kind.

--Oh P.S.    The world of science gave us big news this week. Researchers at the Hardon Collider in Europe have discovered a boson. This evidence is a big step in the discovery of a theorized particle called the Higgs Boson. If found the Higgs Boson could lead to answering many questions about the universe, physics and more. It’s cool stuff, however pretty complicated. Check out this video for a, comic book style, easy to understand explanation:

Since I’m showing videos. Long time actor Andy Griffith passed away Monday. Best known as Matlock and Sheriff Andy Taylor. Did you know, the theme song to The Andy Griffith Show had words. Andy sang them. Here it is:

P.S.S--  *Yeah, Anderson Cooper came out stating he is gay this week. If you are going to stop watching him because of this, or think less of him as a news journalist, I have news update for you, you are an ignorant fool… Oh, and feel free to never read my blog again.
