A satellite photo of North America on the night of Thursday August 14TH 2003 – the night of the largest blackout in North American history that affected an estimated 50 million people and caused an estimated 6 billion dollars in financial losses:
IT’S NOT REAL !
Can you identify at least 5 things that are obviously wrong with the photo above ?
Try to figure it all out, and then read more about it.
It’s 10:30 PM on a Wednesday night. Do you know where your appetite is ?
When we experience food, fun, and fellowship in my Life Group we don’t play around. We mean business. We had enough food for about 50 people tonight even though there were only about 15 of us. That means that each person had to eat for 3 people. Since some people only ate for 2 people that means that I had to pick up the slack. Oh yeah, and J.T. has enough lunch and dinner leftovers to last him through the upcoming weekend !
It’s going to be another heavy duty afternoon of more food, fun, and fellowship this upcoming Sunday at Homestead Bayfront Park. BRING IT ON !
TOMORROW here on the blog I’ve got your weekly ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’. I’ve got a well-circulated ’round the Internet photo to share with you that illustrates the effect of a major news story from the Summer Of 2003 that caused an estimated six-billion-dollars in financial losses here in North America. But is the picture for real, or is it a complete and utter hoax ? We’ll find out tomorrow afternoon.
Thursday is also the day that many of my favourite bloggers post some of their best work of the week in a dire effort to get included on my coveted ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’. Get to work bloggers !
And so that’s what I’ve got for this Wednesday night edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’. Have a safe and restful night, sleep tight, don’t let them bed bugs bite, and remember this:
A large company – feeling it was time for a shakeup – hired a new CEO. The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers.
On a tour of the facilities the CEO noticed a guy leaning on a wall. The room was full of workers, and he wanted to let them know that he meant business. He walked up to the guy leaning against the wall and asked, ‘How much money do you make a week ?’
A little surprised the young man looked at him and replied, ‘I make about $400 a week. Why ?’
The CEO then handed the guy $1,600 in cash and screamed, ‘Here’s four weeks’ pay. Now GET OUT and don’t ever come back !’
Feeling pretty good about himself the CEO looked around the room and asked, ‘Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-ball did here ?’
From across the room came a voice: ‘Pizza delivery from Domino’s.’
Greetings Friends this is ‘Bedtime Stories’ on this Thursday night – brought to you by the new 1959 Chevrolet Station Wagon !
This is the 4TH and final blog entry for this day. 4 blog entries in a single day is my self-imposed maximum limit. I’ve done that on many days since this blog started, and I’ve never gone past that limit. I figure that if I’m posting 5 (or more) blog entries in a single day then I’m probably spending way too much time on my computer ! 😉
It’s another hard day at work for me tomorrow, but the cool thing is that it’s Pay Day Friday, and the final day of the work week. I’ve got a busier than normal weekend planned. On Saturday night I’ll be dressed up in near-formal attire for the night. Maybe I’ll get myself into some pictures so that I can post some of them on here so that all of you can see what I look like when I try hard enough to look the very best.
Be sure to catch the blog in action tomorrow afternoon. I’ve got the ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ in full effect featuring some of the best blog entries of this past week from some of my favourite bloggers that are near and dear to me and this blog. Please remember that there is to be no wagering as to which specific blog entries and bloggers will make the hot list.
Have a safe and peaceful Thursday night everyone, and until we hang out again on here remember this:
Yes, Fun To See ! Fun To Drive ! Fun To Buy !
The New Chevrolet !
Good Night Everyone ! Good Night Jesse !
