You Know, Like Coca-Cola Jingles

I subscribe to a newsletter called TrendCentral, and one of last week’s newsletters contained the following blurb:

“Musical Roads: In Japan, the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has embedded grooves into sections of roads, which boom a tune up through cars. They’re in the process of planning different melodies for different locations, picking songs that are somehow associated with the locale.”

In a related program, the tollbooth operators are passing out complimentary pieces of chewing tinfoil and bamboo slivers just big enough to fit under drivers’ toenails.

Useful Information

Path of Righteousness

At the bar, someone mentions the possibility of the pope dying, and Rachel crosses herself.

Me: What was that last thing you did? After you crossed yourself?

Rachel: I was trying to clasp my hands in prayer, but the beer got in the way.

Ebay: the End is Nigh

Two-Headed Calf

“Is it a boy? Is it a girl? It may be both. This auction is for a genuine real two headed baby calf. Died shortly after birth and owner had it mounted. Was taken to taxidermist who confirmed it was authentic. You can’t get this at Walmart.”

Jesus M&M (as seen on CNN)

“While at work a coworker purchased some chocolate covered peanuts from a gumball type machine. (You know those machines that all stores have by the entrance to get your children to buy a handful of sugar!!) In that handful of M&M this piece of candy stood out, because it was different. After showing it to several coworkers, some made the comment that they could see an image. Some could see Jesus other people have viewed the item and thought it looked more like Jay Leno, Elvis or other images. In this crazy world of ours there are a lot of people claiming to have images found all around them, so why is it not possible that the beholder could not see Jesus in this.”
