And We're Rollin'

Pies have been eaten over the radio, Fire Inspectors through here and done, door-to-door evangelists sent away, and Johnnie Walker Red is here- and it's not even noon! Woohoo for productive days!
OK- let's look around at what's up in the world.

I love this idea

The homeless as unwitting guinea pigs?

No, no, no. Today is 3/14, so no pie today, only pi.

Some great head-scratcher stories today. Thanks.

Susan- And a perfect day for science too, as it's Einstein's Birthday.

Welcome. There's so much interesting stuff going on!

I love that emails from the dead story. When I die I want to enter my cpu and start blogging away...scare the hedoublehockeysticks out of people.
As to the Tide theft...well, at least we know they are clean criminals.

Unlike mybabyjohn/Delores I think the Tide theft is simply money laundering on a grand scale.

Not certain about the electronic voices from the dead. I would however like to haunt a few people so ...

Thanks. Lots to think about here.

Lawless- I was thinking, could I write a post and just keep it far-dated -out til after I die, then it suddenly appears? It'd be a great practical joke!

EC- Money laundering! Ha! It's a bizarro world when laundry detergent becomes currency.

And yeah, I'm planning on haunting, too.
