Keep listening to Thunder for details.
In the "Money To Burn" department, 3 billionaire brothers in Hong Kong have built a replica of Noah's Ark. This has been done before, but this is the only one built the same size as the one in the bible: 450 feet.
UNlike the one in the bible, this one has a rooftop luxury hotel and just 67 pairs of animals and they're made of fiberglass. The builders say they hope it inspires visitors drowning in today's financial flood with the message that "life goes on" (not for the animals....life won't go on for them if they're made of fiberglass). Just like in the biblical flood, life DOES goes on if you were lucky enough to be born in the right family. For the big flood, if you were part of Noah's family, no problem. Any other family, not so good. By the way, this thing in Hong Kong was under construction for 17 years. They don't say why it took so long. Maybe the project kept getting delayed because of rain.The OH-bamas showed off their new Portuguese Water Dog yesterday.
His name is Bo, and he was given to them by Senator Ted Kennedy. Portuguese Water Dogs are excellent swimmers, and if anybody knows about swimming, it's Ted Kennedy. Fans of the Portuguese breed are concerned that this could set off what they call the "one-hundred and one" syndrome. That's when it becomes "in" to own a certain breed of dog, and all of a sudden, everybody goes out and gets one, without really thinking it through very clearly. I've always maintained that most people are followers anyway (go back in the archives and see what I said about American Idol). Basically, what they're saying is that, almost in a frenzy, everybody goes out and gets one of these dogs, even though they know very little about them. Once they have the dog, they start to realize that the dog can actually be nervous, aggressive and not necessarily good with children. In other words, people get excited, make a choice without really knowing what they're getting into, then they're sorry about the decision they made.......................................kind of like the presidential election.October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 September 2009 October 2009 November 2009 December 2009 January 2010 February 2010 March 2010 April 2010 May 2010 June 2010 July 2010 August 2010
