It's official.....I'm definetly a nerd.


How do I know this. Well first off the book I'm currently reading. Well, probably the fact that I'm reading a book is nerdy enough. However, there is more. I don't even remember how it came up in our house one day but the subject of Greek Mythology came up. I used to know all the Gods and their names but that information has long since left my brain to store knowledge I really need. Like everytime a fly lands it takes a dump.

Yeah, I don't know if that is true or not but somebody told me that years ago and I've never forgotten that.

So instead of using that spare corner of my brain for things like Greek and Roman Mythology I remember that instead.

So anyway I'm now reading the book, "Mythology, Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes"


But in the immortal words of Ron Popiel, "..but wait, there's more"

I was going through the channels one night trying to find something interesting in the 500 channels of crap.

I eventually came upon BBC America and Dr. Who was on. Now, I've been a nerd since back in the day and remember watching Dr. Who in his fourth incarnation. Dude, that scarf rocks!

Anyhows, I don't think I had seen the show since then. It looks like he was The Dr from 74-81. See, once a nerd.....always a nerd. You can't escape it.

So I started watching this newest series with the ninth Dr. So I've been really enjoying the show and caught the season finale last night to find out he is only spending one season as the Dr.

See, I even went online and did som Dr. Who research.

Well the reason the research all got started was because of an overbite. Let me explain. His companion I had to look up and found out she is actually a british singer named Billie Piper.

See, it is that in American T.V. and movies you NEVER see an actor or actress with an overbite. (Unless it's fake of course)
So after doing some research I come across "She dies in the series." So, now I'm thinking oh great, now I already know what is going to happen.
So as I'm watching the season finale waiting on her to die to my surprise she lives and the new Dr. Who is introduced. Well, now I find out that the season I was watching was actually two seasons ago and I didn't find on the BBC America website any information about the new season.
Great, guess I'll be getting them on Netflix.


Worse than hearing there are "Snakes on a Plane"

During a recent flight from Chicago to Cleveland in what can only be described as an adventure in waiting. There was something said that evidently the flight attendant must not have thought out before uttering.

After we had already sat about an hour waiting to board the plane, and then after sitting on the plane for about an hour the flight attendant comes on and makes this announcement.

"As you can see we are ready to go, unfortunately we can not find our pilots" (I sh*t you not, that was her actual quote)

Well me being the smart a$$ that I am, (translation, having a big mouth and speaking before thinking blurts out) "Well, I hope they aren't at the bar!"

So after about another 30 minutes on the plane to avoid a "Jet Blue" incident they actually let us get off the plane to go get food or snacks. (There was no food on the plane and you can only drink so much ligquid for sustenance). Well, of course this was the one day I decided to pass on breakfast as I was figuring I would land in about an hour and get something to eat.

After sitting around for an unexpected extra 3 or 4 hours your stomach has a way of saying "Idiot, I told you to eat breakfast!"

(Recommendation for travelers, at Chicago O'hare you can enjoy a delicious lunch of a bag of honey roasted peanuts and a 20 ounce diet coke for only $6)

I would have had a real meal but didn't have my proper papers on me to fill out the loan application to buy a hamburger.

What is wrong with this headline?

"Virgin Mary on a Pizza Pan"

There are some things in life that you just can't make up. It is also apparent that some peoples beliefs are so far fetched that they would stretch their imaginations to their limits.

Here is the Pizza Pan in question.


O.K. maybe it's just because I'm a guy but if anything it looks like a penis to me.

From what I've heard there is a rumor that there is an image of Jesus rising from the Crust of the dough of the $5 Hot N Ready Pizza at the little Ceasers in Buffalo.
