Believers in the invisible, but not of the observable

It cracks me up to hear people whom are certain of God's existence claim that global warming is a hoax. The following two scenarios will better illustrate just how I see such individuals.

Experiment #1

 Scientist Mike Theory: "So, you don't believe in global warming, correct?"

Donald Dump: "Of course not! It's nothing but a hoax!"

Theory: "So why are the polar ice caps melting then?"

Dump: "It's all part of God's plan apparently."

Theory: ::takes an ice cube out of a freezer and places it on a table:: "Do you see this ice cube?"

Dump: "Yes..."

Theory: "I just took it out of the freezer. Notice how it's getting smaller?"

Dump: "Yes..."

Theory: "Why is that do you think?"

Dump: "Because it's warmer in here than in the freezer! Duh!"

Theory: "Very good. So, take that knowledge and apply it to what we talked about earlier. Why are the polar ice caps melting again? Because it's getting w...a...r..."

Dump: "It's part of God's plan."

Theory: "Ugh. I give up."


Experiment #2

 Scientist Mike Theory: "You're a big believer in God, is that correct?"

Donald Dump: "Yes, of course."

Theory: "Could you point him out to me please?"

Dump: "Oh, he's all around us."

Theory: "Okay, show me."

Dump: "You can't see him?"

Theory: "I'm asking you to point him out to me."

Dump: "Just look around you. He's everywhere."

Theory: "I see a table, a couple of chairs, some pencils, books, and a few other things. What does God look like, so I know how to spot him?"

Dump: "I don't know. I think he's white and has a beard."

Theory: "You don't know? I thought you said you could see him and he was all around us. If that's true, then how can you not know what he looks like?"

Dump: "I said he's white with a beard!

Theory: "So, he looks kind of like Santa Claus?"

Dump: "No, God's beard never goes white!"

Theory: "So, perhaps more like Zach Galifianakis then?"

Dump: "Who?"

Theory: "Nevermind. Well, I hate to tell you this, but I don't see a white man with a beard in here, do you?"

Dump: "That's because you're not looking!"

Theory: "We're the only two people in here..."

Dump: "...and God..."

Theory: "Jesus..."

Dump: "He's here too."

Theory: "Where?"

Dump: "Everywhere"

Theory: ::sighs:: "I'm afraid we'll have to end this experiment now, so I can go out and have myself a drink. Have a nice life..."

Dump: "And after-life!"

Theory: "Sure..."

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Face guarding is legal in college football and the NFL

I just wanted to remind fans and announcers especially, that face guarding is legal in both college football and the NFL. It all comes down to contact. So long as a defender doesn't make contact with an intended receiver, he doesn't have to turn around to play the ball. I can't tell you how many times every week I hear announcers talk about face guarding being a penalty. It's not. I even heard one announcer yesterday state, "If the defender doesn't turn around and play the ball, the ref will call pass interference every time." That's simply not true. Courtesy of referee Bill LeMonnier, he says this with regard to the rule at the college level (answered on 8/12/13): "NCAA rules on pass interference require the face guarding to have contact to be a foul. No contact, no foul by NCAA rules." In the NFL rule book, this is written:  "Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a ...

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
