“Woof! Woof!”

“What is it, Lassie?”

“Woofwoofwoof!  Woof!”

“The ISS operators think it can only run on using human guidance?”

“Woof!”

“That’s right, boy.  We’ve got Robonaut, haven’t we?”

“Rrrrruff!”

“You want to send humans up in the Dragon craft?  That’s too early, isn’t it?”

“Arrrroooo!”

“Good boy.  Wait…aren’t you supposed to be a girl?”

‘Rutt-roe!”

“Say…are you really Lassie or some other famous dog?”

The dog ran out of the room.

Meanwhile, the U.S. went into economic recession again, armchair analysts enjoy the luxury of hindsight, another philosopher pretends to live a relevant life after 30, your upset stomach and obesity is a result of your mother taken antibiotics when you were in womb, statins may also stop infections, China can’t stop the loving, and low-cost computing is available for anyone with an expensive keyboard/mouse/display combo.

Word on the street is that all the financial and cheating scandals were a direct result of the lifestyle of Timothy Ferriss and his admonition to hack any and every system you meet.

According to his philosophy, never take for granted that social courtesy is made of granite rather than formulated granite substitute (i.e., wheat germ or Grape Nuts cereal instead of oatmeal for breakfast).

Sell questionable herbal remedies and get rich, or break tradition to win at sports.

Ferriss is a god to someone, I’m sure.

I just see him as a good warning – the associates climbing up the social/business ladder behind you are closing the gap and accelerating past you faster than they appear!

Before we get all blown out of shape by hurricane and earthquakes being caused by God, the witch doctor said that in a seance last night, MLK, Jr, told her he caused the recent problems around Washington, D.C.

He was angry that he didn’t get a bigger memorial.

He figured if he destroyed the new one, he could get FEMA funds left over from Hurricane Katrina to build him an even bigger one.

A geriatric medical specialist shared with me a common health issue for older women:

• UTI, or urinary tract infection.

The specialist said the number one cause for UTI appears to be the way the women clear fecal material after having a BM, or bowel movement.

Those who tend to suffer from UTI wipe toilet tissue from back to front, which gets fecal material in the vaginal area and allows fecal-borne organisms like E. coli to enter the urinary tract.

He wondered if there should be a campaign to instruct mothers to teach their daughters to wipe from front to back, so that, when the daughters are older, their toilet habits will keep them healthier.

Ladies, it’s up to you.

And now, time to end this blog.

The new blog, “WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE,” initiated by the Committee to encourage and reward the hunt, capture and/or kill of those who’ve unquestionably demonstrated immoral or unethical behaviour (Bernie Madoff, Raj Rajaratnam, Chinese/Syrian/Indian government officials, etc.), will take up most of my time.

Remember, you may not believe that God exists but that doesn’t stop some people from playing God with your lives.  Only you can decide how godlike to treat them.

China wants to dominate the world with the help of US investment:

• China’s military ‘catching up’ with US
• Greater US investment encouraged

I want the Thomas view on this one – Clarence Thomas for U.S. President in 2012?  Ask Jesse Jackson about the moral imperative here.

…American taxpayers don’t owe an allegiance to the IMF or Lagarde.

You decide how to make life “fair”…
