While sleeping peacefully through our first winter storm at about 4:30 this morning we were visited by the bladder fairy. (You know the one, he flies from house to house like a fat drunken bumble bee and fills peoples bladders.) Unfortunately the Sandman and the Bladder fairy are at war which not only can make a heck of a mess but also makes for somewhat early wakefulness. So in a vain attempt to find sleep inducing reading materiel an internet search resulted. And somehow, (and we really don't know how.) We stumbled across the Scary Santa recording. This recording was made by Thomas Edison to cheer up the kiddies for Christmas, We think it would have the opposite effect, children would be fleeing the house in fear of Santa. Check it out at the address here some of the other recordings here are eerie too but we think Evil Santa takes the cake.
On another note we recently came across two separate news stories that were a bit odd. It seems a calf was born with a cross on it's forehead, and an egg was lain with a cross on it, all in the same week, what does it mean, Steak and eggs of course. By the way the Psychological phenomena in which people see shapes and hear sounds which they think are significant but are not is called pareidolia, and when you put different sized objects in a bowl and shake it, the larger ones stay on top the smaller ones go to the bottom, the scientific name for this is the brazil nut effect. Pareidolia and the Brazil nut effect are not related but we feel they somehow should be. Ciao for now.
