Right Brain or Left Brain

Click here for the test. I saw the dancer turning clockwise first. When I cut my eyes to the left to read the text, she started spinning counter-clockwise. I can't make here spin both ways, but she predominately spins clockwise for me. Supposedly this means I'm right-brained, which has philosophy & religion functions. Which way does she spin for you?

Of Interest to Local Readers

I was going to say, only in West Point, MS could this happen, but then I remembered that I have several church members who identify West Point as home. So let me just say this is interesting: "Tossing pig over hotel's front counter brings fine"

"Twice a pig was tossed, and two of the incidents involved possums....It must be some redneck thing, because I haven't ever heard of anything like it."

Indeed.

I'm Not Sure What to Make of This

Other than to say, I do love coffee.

Ann Althouse says about this commercial:

I'd like to see this on TV, preferably HDTV, widescreen, to get the full effect, but even just looking at that YouTube-ish rectangle, I'm going to give this commercial the Althouse Seal of Approval... and not just because it's cleverly creating web buzz. I approve because it's hilariously engaging and entertaining -- enough not only to prevent fast-forwarding but to inspire replaying and even conversation. And that conversation is engaging and entertaining: What the hell was that? How is that a commercial for coffee?

What she said, except, I would add again, that I do love coffee.

Earworm

I have had one all day.  If there is anything more more disturbing (on so many levels) than finding myself singing, humming, or tapping foot to "I Know What Guys Want" as it plays in constant rotation in my head I'd rather not find out. 

There are other things I wanted to blog about today (like a quick few thoughts on the whole "Gospel of Judas" story), but I must go purge my brain. Kyrie eleison.   

Heh.

This is old, but I just saw it surfing and it made me laugh:  Fox News Reporters Have More Fun

"...there is no such thing as too much elk meat for a dog"

What happens when an elk dies in your yard and your dogs figure out elk tastes good?  As Andrew Sullivan says, "All the local dogs think it's the Rapture and the carcass becomes an all-you-can-eat buffet and a daycare center."

So basically what happens is this. 

Anne V - 01:12 pm PDT - Sep 9, 1999 - They're inside of it. They crawled inside, and now I have a giant incredibly heavy piece of carcass in my yard, with 2 dogs inside of it, and they are NOT getting bored of it and coming out. One of them is snoring. I have company arriving in three hours, and my current plan is to 1. put up a tent over said carcass and 2. hang thousands of fly strips inside it. This has been going on since about 6:40 this morning.

Later...

you know - I just thought they would get bored of it sooner or later. But it appears to be later, in the misty uncertain future, that they will get bored. Now, they are still interested. And very loud, one singing, one snoring.

Post-mortem...

Here are some things I have learned, this Rosh Hashanah weekend: 1. almond milk removes elk blood from curtains and pillowcases, 2. We can all exercise superhuman strength when it comes to getting elk carcasses out of our yard, 3. The sight of elk ribcages hurtling over the fence really frightens the nice deputy sheriff who lives across the street, and 4. the dogs can pop the screens out of the windows, without damaging them, from either side.

I'm sure there is a sermon somewhere in this, but I can't think of one because I'm laughing too hard.  You really must go and read the whole thing.
