Notes

I heard a love letter from Napoleon Bonaparte. It was sappy. It made him sound far too human.

There is a huge dustup in the U. K. over food safety. It turns out several stores and prepackaged frozen food vendors sold horse meat as beef. Most people are pissed, as I would be too, that the package description was not accurate, not that they may have eaten horse meat. What about hot dogs? What about fish? People don’t seem to be worried what kind of fish is in fish sticks or what is in hot dogs. They sell like mad.

Someone said that 90% of the betting on sports worldwide is on soccer. (football) I do not trust that number. Even the guy talking about sports betting didn’t buy it.

Phone companies can tell pretty accurately how much rainfall or snow is in the area by the drop in phone signal over a wide range. Water absorbs the signal. If you house is surrounded by trees that hold a large amount of water, you really will have worse reception. -Dr Karl

I wish I could link or embed Facebook and GPlus pictures and videos here better than I can now. There are ways of making it work,but they involve tricks that people may not be prepared to deal with.

People in Pakistan are complaining about how the country used to be more open than it is today. They have  an elected government. That government is highly conservative and religious based. Who’s fault is it? I blame external forces, but that is just my speculation.

That is 42 out of 10000. Which have I missed?
