How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? There are over 31,000 verses of text in the Bible and apparently they can all be etched onto a necklace bobble. I’m going to ignore Christians call it a miracle; let’s pretend we didn’t see that. The entire Bible can be etched onto a tiny necklace, which leads me to ask, why? If you cannot possibly read it, what’s the point of printing it? There’s an old riddle about a tree falling in the forest that asks if no hears it, did it really make a sound? The answer depends on your definition of sound. Unless you have a scanning electron microscope, you will not be reading that necklace. It becomes nothing more than a good luck charm. You could claim you are keeping the Word close to your heart, but again it cannot actually be read and that’s the way to keep the Word in your heart and mind. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. And this item says nothing more than “Look what I have.”

I never heard the word scorebug prior to this week. Apparently Fox tried out the new design for the first time at Super Bowl LIX. Most commenters found it kind of plain, one person easily recreating the design in Spreadsheet. Since I haven’t seen any NFL games all season, I would have just assumed that’s how the score look during NFL on Fox.

Kendrick Lamar set a new record for halftime viewers. Nothing against Kendrick Lamar, his multiple Grammys (he took home 5 just a couple of weeks ago, and that’s the third time) suggest he is really good at what he does; I’m just not a fan of what it is he does. But let’s put those viewership numbers in perspective. In 1993, the population of the United States was 257,746,103. The current population is 347,276,807. There are a lot more people today than 30 years ago, to the tune of about 90 million just in the US. But the number of viewers of this year’s show compared to Michael Jackson’s halftime show only increased by 1/10 of 1%.

Ending the production of pennies is once again on the table in the US as a way to reduce wasteful spending. It was considered back in the 70’s and several nations have already done the same years or even decades ago. So look at the chart; at first glance it doesn’t make sense (no pun intended) to spend four cents for a coin that is only worth one cent. But that four cents is only spent once for a coin that will be in use for many years. Our money does not have intrinsic value; each piece represents a value. That penny is worth one cent every time it is used and it could be used hundreds if not thousands of times. American coins last 30 years on average, much longer than paper money, before they are too worn to continue to be circulated.

Did you see the guy in the kayak get swallowed by a whale this week? He was spit back out after only a second or two. His dad kept his cool and was filming the whole time, offering his son words of encouragement as he paddled back. Watch the video here.

Google Maps now shows the Gulf of America, depending on where you are.

Denver Pyle had a long career before playing Uncle Jesse, probably his most well known role, on The Dukes of Hazard. He was in lots of westerns, on film and television, and is one of only 11 actors to hit the Perry Mason trifecta; he appeared three different times playing the victim, a suspect and the murderer.

Mistake by the Lake – Last week I posted a couple of pics, and shared a link to many others, of my visit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Hall looks like a pyramid from the front but this reverse view from Google Maps shows the post-modern aspect of the building design. I thought this building is what people were calling “the mistake by the lake” when speaking of Cleveland, Ohio, but I have learned that’s not it. Sometimes people call Cleveland itself the mistake by the lake but it was more specifically Cleveland Municipal Stadium. When the stadium was torn down, the steel reinforced concrete was used to create a protective reef in Lake Erie. Since it is not an official motto or registered trademark, there are other cities and buildings also referred to by others as the mistake by the lake or mistake on the lake from time to time.

…like a red rubber ball. They are selling these at Walmart. I can see, hear, smell and feel this picture.
