Sunday’s blog – Fail

I had a very funny blog all written, spell checked and ready to go. My Honey refuses to allow me to post it and now I’m not speaking to him.

He suggested that perhaps I just don’t post anything tonight but that won’t do.

Instead I’ll give you a few bits of trivia. Just know that this will in no way be as amusing as the one I have been forbidden to post.

Did you guys know that Shel Silverstein wrote Johnny Cash’s hit A Boy Named Sue? Me neither but it doesn’t surprise me either. I love Shel Silverstein. When I was a kid I was scandalized when I learned the man who wrote Where the Sidewalk

Ramses passport photo?

When the mummy of Ramses II was sent to France in the mid-1970’s, it was issued a passport. Ramses’ occupation was listed as King (deceased). I wonder what picture they used? Did the mummy wake up to sign it or did they use a fingerprint?

Obsessive nose picking is called Rhinotillexomania. Just in case you need a note from your doctor for something. Too bad you can’t just fake a quick note from your doctor to get out of work like you used to be able to get out of gym.

The German word kummerspeck means excess weight gained from emotional overeating. Literally, grief bacon. I like bacon but it’s not my kryptonite. I have kummerkuchen – grief cake.

The female opossum has 13 nipples. Now you’re picturing it aren’t you. How can you not. It’s so weird. I swear I didn’t make this up. Google it. You’ll see.

About one in every 4 million lobsters is born with a rare genetic defect that turns it blue. A blue lobster is no less scary looking, in my opinion, than the red ones but I suspect it’s still yummy.

So there you go. Six things to contemplate today. Weird and odd, but not necessarily funny. You can totally blame My Honey.
