So lately our toilet has been sounding a little like a wookie.

Jenn got so frustrated today that she turned off the water, and when I went to turn it back on so I could flush the toilet I realized it was spraying water all over the floor. Great. But google tells me that's not too hard or expensive to fix. So that's all right. Of course, google also tells me that that part of my toilet is called a "ballcock", so what does google know?

A church put up a statue of Jesus sleeping on a bench. There are some amusing comments, most notably this one:

… “My complaint is not about the art-worthiness or the meaning behind the sculpture. It is about people driving into our beautiful, reasonably upscale neighborhood and seeing an ugly homeless person sleeping on a park bench.”

See that, way up there? That's the point, whizzing merrily away above his head.

It sounds like the stuff of science fiction: seven keys, held by individuals from all over the world, that together control security at the core of the web. The reality is rather closer to The Office than The Matrix

The point was so far over his head I think he might have launched it into ORBIT with his lack of understanding/acceptance/willingness to face it. Holy moly.

Oh, yeah. I think he might even have ducked to ensure that it missed him by the requisite mile or more, not that it was going to hit him anyway.

Mind, Ms. "Jesus is supposed to be like Santa + Daddy + an ATM!" wasn't much better.

Maybe when they're done putting the Christ back in Christmas, they maybe can see about letting Christ back into Christianity.

Kudos to the church for resolving to keep it.
