Why involve the whole village?

Family secrets are best kept within.  Why involve the whole village?

When speeding tickets don't work...

When speeding tickets do not hamper drivers from speeding, the novelty of making music with their wheels could.  

The New Mexico Department of Transportation added grooves in the road of Route 66 between Albuquerque and Tijeras.  They work just like the rumble strips or "drunk bumps".  As you drive over the precisely positioned grooves in the road they vibrate your car to create different pitches from notes to "America the Beautiful".  You just have to slow down to its speed limit of 45 mph to hear it better.  

What a great idea since it is a desolate stretch of road.  This innovation should keep drivers alert, so as not to miss that musical quarter-mile stretch.



Now here is your reason to travel through Route 66.

Make money? Like that also can.

Do you think that you can make money with your son's favorite toys which he still enjoys playing with, no matter how old he is?

Finnish photographer, Vesa Lehtimäki, could.  He photographed recreated scenes from Star Wars with his characters from his son's Star Wars lego set and some talcum powder to recreate the right atmosphere.  He compiled these photos and published them into a book.

And there you have it, ka-ching, ka-ching, a 176 pages hardcover book.



Other than the joy of looking at high quality photographs of his creative process, you also get to learn the technical details for each scene he created.

I am trying to cash it on it too.  Click on image or link to buy the book and I will hear some ka-ching, ka-ching going my way.

LEGO Star Wars Small Scenes from A Big Galaxy

Yes!  Like that also can.  Start clicking to buy, OK?  It may inspire your kid to be the next Vesa Lehtimäki.

High Urinals

From My InBox:

A group of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, accompanied by two female teachers, went on a field trip to the local racetrack to learn about thoroughbred horses and the supporting industry, but mostly to see the horses.

When it was time to take the children to the bathroom, it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the other. The teacher assigned to the boys was waiting outside the mens room when one of the boys came out and told her that none of them could reach the urinal. Having no choice, she went inside, helped the boys with their pants, and began hoisting the little boys up one by one, holding on to their 'wee-wees' to direct the flow away from their clothes. As she lifted one, she couldn't help but notice that he was unusually well endowed. Trying not to show that she was staring the teacher said, 'You must be in the 5th grade.'

'No, ma'am', he replied. 'I'm riding Silver Arrow in the seventh race, but I appreciate your help.'
