bed box

A guy in China has created a quake-proof bed. It's a bed that has a cover that slides over you if it feels an earthquake happening. So, if stuff starts falling from above, you will be protected in this box!

This is cool! It's also great for volcanoes. And maybe rain. If it is raining in your bedroom. That happens sometimes when you have a lot of moisture.

It's a pretty cool idea. It might be fun to put a light in there and just close it up when you want some alone time. Maybe put a TV in there and watch a movie.

Then if there IS an earthquake, you can finish watching the bonus features on your Transformers DVD without being interrupted by falling rocks!

OH! Meteors! I bet it's good for meteors too. I hate getting hit with meteors when I'm reading comic books.

I think I will get one of these. Maybe I'll water-proof it so I can bring it under water for my trips to Atlantis.

I'm off to call Aquaman.

Enjoy Everything.

fish smuggler

I don't know what would compel somebody to do this, but some guy was smuggling piranhas and stingrays. He was supposed to go to court today, but he disappeared.

Possibly because of an attack by piranhas and stingrays.

Who smuggles that?! Why not smuggle something soft and fluffy?! Like cotton candy! Or maybe you could smuggle pillows!

Is there a big market for piranhas and stingrays? Do people come up to you on the street wondering if you happen to have a stingray you'd be willing to part with?

Okay, so I've been asked that a few times, but that's the kind of crowd I hang with. Because I hang with a crowd that lives underwater.

And Aquaman. He's my friend, too. We hang out and play pool.

Heh...I never understood why he laughed every time we played pool until just now. I finally get the joke Aquaman! Very funny.

I'm off to smuggle a fish.

Enjoy Everything.

i'm not quite aquaman

I think women complain about swimsuit shopping a lot. Not to make a stereotype, but that's what I hear. I don't really know. I tend not to listen. Oh, not just when a woman is talking about shopping, but about most everything. I don't even listen to myself half the time. I don't even pay attention when I'm writing my blog. That's why, so far, this post is going nowhere.

So, I have to buy a swimsuit. I am not sure what to do about this. I haven't worn a swimsuit in at least 10 years. That means I probably haven't bought one for about 12 years.

I don't really go swimming. Unfortunately, I'm going on vacation and there will be a beach there. With water and stuff. I know I'll be going on some sort of water-riding machine to see dolphins. I may also have to get flip-flops of some kind. It seems that if I go in shorts and sneakers, I'll be wet and uncomfortable all day.

I have the same problem with oceans that I do with snow. It's cold and wet. I'm not a huge fan of cold and wet. What's worse in the summer is that I have to take my shirt off. Nobody wants to see that. It's not safe for the faint of heart.

Do they still make those swimsuits like they did in the 20's? You know what I mean? They're like overalls. The legs go down to the ankles and they have shoulder straps. I could get down in that. I'm sure other beach-folk would be happier if I wore one of those, too.

And don't even get me started on flip-flops. I wear sneakers. I'm a little scared to wear flip-flops. There's nothing keeping those things on my feet! They're just flippin and floppin around! I don't know how people wear them without falling over!

I'll let you know how it goes because I'm sure this is the most exciting thing you've read in years...yeah...

I'm off to find a swimsuit...wish me luck.

Enjoy!
