The power of words ~ an Urban Myth goes haywire

Word spread through the British criminal fraternity that microchips used in Ford automobile radios could be used to decode premium channels when used to modify digital TV boxes.

The myth caused automobile crimes to soar fourfold in November of 2006 and police figures revealed that thefts of Ford radios accounted for 95 per cent.

Thought for the day ~ Ellen DeGeneres

I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it’s such a beautiful animal. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her.

Merry Christmas

Unlike most folks Jeff has become aware of the fact that a Christmas without Muppets is like a day without a rain of money; all too common and a little less amusing.

And remember to keep a careful tally of your loot. You know that’s the first question you’ll be asked when you get back to work/school. And if you didn’t get anything snazzy, it’s okay to make that kind of thing up to irritate your co-workers.

Tune in tomorrow for post holiday festivities like bobbing for pine cones and Christmas light tangle.
