Quizzick

They couldn't have made 'Pyscho' so scary if they had used a shower cubicle, could they? Unless the door creaked open . . .

There are 'Psycho' shower curtains available, with the suggestion that they sell blood stained bath mats as an optional extra. 

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,

You could have told us what went on:

Did Jesus play? Pick His spots?

Have tantrums with the other tots?

Did He run along the shore

Or walk on water aged just four?

You never told us all the facts

Of His life in shabby shacks.

Did He love a maiden fair?

Speak in tongues or in clear?

He must have lived as others did

Being a smiling or sad kid.

Nothing are we now to know

Of Hs life as he did grow

Into the Life of Son of God, his Father.

Sometimes we would rather

Have more personal notes

Of His life among the goats.

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John -

All those tales are now gone.

Thank you and Amen.

Did you see that an American has taken the World Stone Skimming title, with a 51-jump throw?   The old record stood at 40, I believe.  There was a video of the title throw and frankly my dear, I couldn't see a damn.  It was very difficult to see the tiny little jumps.  The man has now 'turned professional'.  A professional stone skimmer?  Is there a call for this sort of thing?  World rankings?  Enough stones of the right quality for championships?  Crowds will gather?  It'd never be on the occupation bit of his passport will it?

I am away now to see if I can achieve an all time best of two skims.  Wait!  It's pitch black, raining and I don't know where the nearest floodlit pond is.  I'll do some indoor training and think about it.

In western Wisconsin there is the tiny Cistercian Abbey of Our Lady of Springbank, just outside Sparta, town of.  There are only five memebers of the Abbey, but the revenue from them in 2006 was $4million. They started off a company supplying printer ink and have now branched out into office supplies and furniture.  The latest venture is a range of coffee products, Benevolent Blends.  The monks employ two laypeople to run the business, and it is a charity so money goes to charitable causes and not to the monks.

They bought a 1969 turbo-prop plane to ferry one of the fathers around, to give motivational speeches. and two Peruvian Paso horses.  Where they feature in this enterprise wasn't made at all clear.

So if you purchase printer inks from LaserMonks then you'll have a feel-good-feeling and be helping others.  Aah.
