Unfounded, Untested, and Disturbingly Biased Facts. Monday, February 20, 2012. Happy ( Washington's Birthday) - 2). When my children were younger, their birthday celebrations were rarely on their. Birthdays. We would pick a day that was most convenient for us, and for any possible attendees. Now that they're older, and somewhat more cognizant of the numbers on a calendar, the kids prefer the celebrations be on the exact dates of their births (or rather the anniversaries thereof). Essentially the federal ...

Unfounded, Untested, and Disturbingly Biased Facts. Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Pheidippides: Behind the Music. The validity of this account has been widely disputed among historians due to differing narratives from various sources. Some records mention a runner named Philippides (instead of Pheidippides). Others claim that the whole army marched rapidly to Athens, not just one messenger. Pheidippides' wife was supportive, but a little concerned. "Are you sure this is a good time to deliver a message over...

Unfounded, Untested, and Disturbingly Biased Facts. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Jack and Jill - A Halloween Tale. Jack are you up there? Jill was nearing the tree and squinting into the shaded branches. Why do you put up with that man? Jack asked as he bent himself in half over a branch and somersaulted out of the tree. "Let's run away together and leave him to fetch his own water.". She rolled her eyes, but was smiling at the sight of him. "You know I can't do that. He's my father.". All right, I'll gi...

Unfounded, Untested, and Disturbingly Biased Facts. Wednesday, November 7, 2012. Did Sandy Cost Romney the Election? Based on reported election data, about 50% of US voters are pleased with yesterday's results. 2% are strutting around self importantly for having belligerently defied the two-party system, and 48% are left to wonder what went wrong. But, according to one republican voter, none of the gaffes or boons being mentioned is responsible for Mitt Romney's ultimate failure. Sandy stated that she ha...

How Things Aren't: Who Then, If Not the Mayans?
http://howthingsarent.blogspot.com/2012/05/who-then-if-not-mayans.html
Unfounded, Untested, and Disturbingly Biased Facts. Thursday, May 10, 2012. Who Then, If Not the Mayans? The Mayan calendar spans a period of 5,126 years and happens to end on December 21, 2012. To many, this means that the Mayans had privy knowledge about the ultimate fate of the world. To me, it means that Mayan calendar salesmen didn't have many repeat customers. Probably because they carved theirs on a rock. I mean it must have, right? That's when the Mayan calendar starts. You may be thinking that I...
