Let's say a tourist is visiting this country and gets mugged. He'll go home thinking this country sucks and might preach against the consequences of freedom in his country. So, next time you see a tourist, give him $5. He might go home and change the world.

Let's say you never give your kid crappy food. And I don't mean unhealthy, I mean only GOOD unhealthy. No Dominos. Only Lou Malnatis. No Fudgsicles. Only Godiva. The child would develop a much more discerning palette at an early age. And then growing up as a child, having mostly...

Words change. And while 2,000 years ago, it was appropriate to identify Jesus as a Jew, I no longer think this identification makes sense. 2,000 years ago, Jews were the remnant of the children of God, those who followed the commands of the law, waiting for the Messiah to come...

(continuation) #8. Martin Van Buren Missouri issued an executive order of October 27, 1838, known as the "Extermination Order", authorizing troops to use force against Mormons to drive them from the state because of the political threat they brought.

Let's say I handed off a piece of paper to you to look at. But before I do, I lick the bottom of it. Would that gross you out? So, for people who thumb through packets of paper/catalogs by licking their fingers to assist in the page turning, isn't that...

For the past two days, my posts have been intentionally self-deprecating. This tactic can be used to make someone seem more human, and by that, more likable. Mild self-criticism can often be seen as a strength. However, recently I heard John McCain start off a sentence with, "I may not...

So, if someone's walking directly behind me in the hallway, I never know what to do with my arms. I suddenly become conscious of my stride, and try to control it into a cool swagger, only to realize how restricting it must look, since a "natural" gait, by definition, must...

So, let's say I grab a drink from the drinking fountain at work. After quenching my thirst, I will take one last swig and not swallow it until roughly I get back to my desk. Or, let's say I send something to the printer at work. I take a drink...

After hearing yet ANOTHER touchy-feely dentist story this weekend, it made me ask an important question: Do molesters go into the field of dentistry knowing that they'll get the opportunity to gas people asleep and then touch them while they're under? Or when presented with that same opportunity, would all...
