7 Wonders of the Day

1. Cool Whip smells very good, but the taste is sub par.

2. I've been swamped with work and the hockey frenzy going on. Gonchar, money. Kovalev, don't get me started Black Eyed Peas.

3. How do seeing eye dogs know where to take the person they assist? I understand they can cross streets for their counterparts, and navigate around people, but if Mr. Blind Dude wants to go to a new spa that he has never been to, how does SeeSee the Dog know where to take him? This is driving me nuts. I had this conversation with D8Thousand and we are going to make a bet, which results in the loser being blindfolded for a predetermined amount of time. Stay tuned.

4. A few months ago I wrote about how everyone hated Jose Canseco because of his book and the steroid scandal. Now, how many people have done a 360 because someone he mentioned was busted? A ton...

5. I never knew how funny this episode of Seinfeld was - Jerry's girlfriend contracted gonorrhea from a tractor.

6. A guy I know that goes to the same gym as me used to be a bartender at a downtown bar. We were telling stories about football players and he mentioned that he saw Joe Montana smoke weed at an after hours party. I don't know why, but I believe him.

7. Back to this whole Pen versus Pencil debate. I am a bigger fan of the Pencil, especially since it can erase. The Pen smudges, but a Pencil can 'age' easily. As for lead, always go with the .5mm, and not the .7mm... in the land of pencils, thinner is better.
