How to Dress Like a Man

December 17th, 2010

So, this has nothing to do with anything, but I ran across this cardboard fashion guide the other day that I found fascinating. It is The Color Wheel – A simplified guide for Correct Color Combinations in Men’s Suits, Shirts, Ties, Pocket Handkerchiefs and Hosiery. Sponsored by HOLEPROOF (Accepted Color Authority). Who knew? Nowadays I think it might be Pantone, but apparently way back when it was Holeproof Hosiery.

I wish I had my own wheel, but his belonged to a friend, so alas… I do not know how to dress. Although, I do know what to wear with GRAY!  Looks like Holeproof is big in Australia, but this came from Allentown, PA. Please to enjoy, and let me know if you have ever seen one of these.

Lots of non-religious people in the US

November 7th, 2010

It’s a bit dated, but still relevant. This chart from the Wall Street Journal for an article about the number of Muslims in New York City.  I was more interested in the numbers of atheists/agnostics/other non-religious in the graphic. Amazing that there can be so many of us living among you, and we still get so little recognition. Add up all the black/grey bubbles, and it’s almost as many as there are Catholics.

Dinosaur Fossil Found in Church

Dinosaur Skull Found in Church

The marble-like balustrade in the Cathedral of Vigevano where the dinosaur skull was found.

Encased in pinkish marble-like slabs supporting a balustrade, this dinosaur — or what’s left of it — has for centuries been the most faithful presence in the Cathedral of St. Ambrose in Vigevano, a town about 20 miles from Milan.

“The rock contains what appears to be a horizontal section of a dinosaur’s skull. The image looks like a CT scan, and clearly shows the cranium, the nasal cavities, and numerous teeth,” Andrea Tintori, the University of Milan paleontologist who spotted the fossil near the altar, told Discovery News.

Measuring about 30 cm (11.8 inches), the skull was cut in sections as slabs of the marble-like rock were used to build the Cathedral between 1532 and 1660.

The calcareous rock in which the dinosaur remains are embedded comes from the rich fossil-bearing site of Mount San Giorgio, which is on the Unesco World Heritage List.

“It is called Broccatello and was mined in Arzo, Switzerland. We know that this type of rock dates geologically to the Lower Jurassic, about 190 million years ago,” Tintori said.

It is not clear what animal the skull belonged to. Tintori hopes to solve the mystery with a three-dimensional reconstruction of the fossilized remains.

Former Conservative

So weird that I used to listen to stuff like this and nod my head… granted, I was unlikely to attend because even when I was religious, I wasn’t fringe. Painful.
