Things that make you go "hmm....."

As Jennifer was driving down the GW Parkway last weekend on the way to her mother's, she drove past a sign that read (we swear we're not making this up): "Unsafe Driving Campaign--Increased Enforcement." Wow, that's a new o

Yesterday Jennifer took Otto in for his (hopefully) final visit to the car doctor.  He got his recalled part replaced, and a new temperature sensor.  So, now he knows what the real temperature is, instead of always thinking it's either

When Jennifer was in the 7th grade she had this history teacher who apparently was so tired of certain grammatical errors that he took it upon himself to make sure that his students completed his class with not only some decent historical knowledge,

breaking resolutions isn't so hard to do

Jennifer's normally not one for New Year's resolutions.  She figures that one is no more likely to stick to something declared on January 1st than any other day of the year.  But this year since she had already been asked to promise

electric contraception

We seem to remember larc commenting a while ago on the frighteningly large number of people who stumbled upon her blog while searching for "electric contraceptives ."  It really is quite amusing to take a look at the blog's referre

this can't be good for the environment

We have subscriptions to 3 magazines and most of the time Jennifer reads exactly none of them.  One is a monthly magazine that she is actually interested in, and usually gets around to reading eventually.  The second is a weekly magazine th

Give 'em a WHAT?!

The problem with the whole daily celebration sidebar is that often two equally amusing observances occur on the same day.  For example today is Guacamole Day (as we've noted) and we found that interesting b/c Jennifer happened to notice that avocados

swimmin' pools and movie stars

Tuesday, 17 October 2006 2:55 P GMT-05
This post has nothing to do with movie stars, but we liked that title.Who knew that the White House had an outdoor pool?  Well, probably lots of people did, but we didn't.  Jennifer says she knows there's all sorts of stuff in the WH: a bowling alley

How much would you pay for these boots?

It's not as if we're makin' this stuff up

We were going to respond to larc on the blog board....but the board apparently has issues with our verbosity.We're all for International Walk Like an Egyptian Day, but unfortunately, it does not occur on Sept. 20.  In fact, nothing interesting happen

Any body

Jennifer is often amused by the "Quick Vote" question on the CNN.com front page.  Usually the entertainment stems from the fact that the question has been phrased in such a biased way that the outcome is pretty much predetermined.  Other ti

In addition to our little alarm clock adventure last week (btw, it mysteriously just started working again....very strange), the subject of time keeps coming up in various ways. First, Jennifer has gone a completely screwed up her sleep cycle. We a

broken and wounded

Thursday, 17 August 2006 11:54 A GMT-05
As of yesterday morning we were ready to declare our alarm clock officially broken.  After the confusion on Tuesday, Jennifer very carefully checked the settings before going to bed.  So it was somewhat alarming (no pun intended) when the phone rang

WTF was that?

Thursday, 10 August 2006 12:08 P GMT-05
So, yesterday Jennifer was having a conversation with one of her coworkers about the fact that she didn't think that she had our Windows computer configured to automatically reboot when necessary after running windowsupdate.  She was basing this on t

deliciously bizarre holidays

So, someone told Jennifer that today was "Chocolate Day"  (as opposed to "National Chocolate Day" which is in October).  She wasn't sure she believed them, so she naturally turned to the Knower of All Things:  Googl

and a boy named Sue

Monday, 12 June 2006 12:13 P GMT-05
The other day Jennifer was wandering around the Web and found herself on a page on the Social Security Administration's site where one can look up how common a particluar name was in any given year dating back to sometime in the 1880s. She was
