Don't You Miss The Older, Safer Cars?

Picture this, a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu are involved in a head-on crash. Which of the cars would you rather be driving? Would it be the old car made of steel or the new car made of plastic? Well, click on the image above to read the blog where I found the article, or just watch the video below.
Safety engineers studying the incident, and crash dummies, say the driver of the Bel Air would have died instantly, but that the driver of the Malibu would have only sustained a minor knee injury.

Why Did This Guy Wear A Dress To A Funeral?

Private Kevin Elliott and his friend, Barry Delaney, had agreed that whoever survived the other should wear a dress to the dead man’s funeral. Mr Delaney duly fulfilled the pledge as a tribute to Private Elliott, who was killed aged 24 while on foot patrol in the southern province of Helmand on August 31.

David Robinson's Hall Of Fame Speech

A truly moving speech. You owe it to take 8 minutes to watch it!


Are We All Kanye West

I am not a fan of awards shows. The only award shows I like are the ones at the end of the World Series, Super Bowl, NCAA Championship, etc. I generally don't care to watch the ones with music & movie stars. And since I don't watch them I missed the episode where Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech to tell the world that he did not think she deserved to win. It sounds like a pretty rotten thing to do. Sounds like a good reason to 'hate on' Kanye.

Well, this morning the blog Stuff Christians Like reminded me that we are all Kanye. Click on the picture above to read that article.
