If you get raptured, what happens to your pets?

Posted on April 11, 2011 | 1 comment

Nearly 40 million people in the U.S. believe there will be a Second Coming in their lifetime, followed by the Rapture. It is said that during this time, the righteous will be spirited away to a better place while the unbelievers remain on Earth. Since the Bible isn’t clear on what happens to our furry little friends, you can now at least have peace of mind that they can be cared for. That is, if you don’t mind they are looked after by (gasp!) atheists.

This is not a joke. An organization exists that recruits non-Christian animal lovers nationwide to volunteer to take care of left-behind pets if the Rapture occurs. You pay a $10 monthly fee to keep your membership and register all your pets.

Geez, I hope they’ll take an unpredictable Ferret with a bad disposition.

People from Sudan comment on America

Posted on April 11, 2011 | Comments Off

Here is a wonderful video that shows some Sudanese people trying to assimilate into their new life in America. Their reaction to seeing Santa is wonderful.

I generally don’t feel like Americans are as rude or unfriendly as this video and the comments suggest. I think most of what you see here is common timidity that just comes out wrong. This shyness tends to be compounded when meeting strangers of another race. Midwesterners are notorious for keeping to themselves and being reserved. An old-school line of etiquette still exists here that basically says staring is rude and asking questions is meddling.

Thank God for kids, though. They’ll ask anything.

If you want to read a great book about a young man’s journey from Sudan to the U.S., pick up What is the What by Dave Eggers.

A pretty amazing pot growing operation

Posted on April 8, 2011 | 3 comments

Here is an example of a unbelieveable marijuana growing operation. Using two rooms, these clever crooks were able to generate 12 to 14 crops a year. Each crop had an estimated street value around $500,000 or more. Do the math. At this rate, 13 crops a year would net about $6-8 million.
