Banana & Man

Did you know humans share about 50% of DNA with bananas?

On a related note, I thought about adding several different things to this trivia post; my first thought was to post the dancing banana "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" video, but that was too annoying. You're welcome.  I then thought I might want to post "Venus" by Bananarama, but that doesn't have a thing to do with bananas other than in the group's name...and besides that, I've been planning on doing a post about that cover and the original song.  Then I remembered that a Beetlejuice II movie is in the works, so I settled on this scene from the first movie:

Happy President's Day!

I usually try to keep it to just one quiz per "page" in this blog, but today is President's Day, so I'll make an exception.

Besides, it keeps me from having to post some otherwise substantial and interesting content. 

You Are Abraham Lincoln

You are a very principled person who can't help but worry about the world. Your conscience weighs heavy on you. You have the best of intentions, and you are very earnest. There's little you prefer more than the simple truth. You are internally motivated and able to tackle almost any challenge. You don't give up, and you're very diligent. You have high expectations and tend to be firm with those around you, including yourself. However, you are also very warm, generous, and forgiving.

What Mount Rushmore President Are You?

An oldie, but goodie...the back side of Mount Rushmore.  If I'm Abraham Lincoln, then I'm the one with the biggest butt.

Dog Day Afternoon

Got an email from Fanbox yesterday afternoon, saying I had a fairly large amt. of money in my account.  Now, I don't remember signing up for it, but that's nothing new - I got an email from Flickr a while back telling me I needed to sign into the site if I wanted to keep my acct., so it was a distinct possibility that I had joined the site then promptly forgot about it. (as I did Flickr)   So, I went to the site to see why it was I had money in my account and when I clicked on the link, the above was where I was sent.

I read more about it and found out many on the 'net think it's a scam. It probably is because I would have had to give some sensitive information to cash in my money, but their 404 page is cute.

They can keep the money.

My (Mostly) Masculine Meals

You Eat Like a Typical Man

You prefer food that's hearty, traditional, and filling. You don't like to mess around when it comes to your meals. You believe the plate should be focused on meat, and you really can't get enough of the stuff. You like a meal that's big and satisfying. Nothing bums you out more than small portions. You aren't huge on snacking, so each meal needs to hold you over until the next.

Do You Eat Like a Man or a Woman?

The part about my wanting meals to be mostly meat isn't quite true, but other than that, I'd agree with the results, although I've seen some women that could eat (and drink) me under the table. I'm not much on these male/female stereotypes, either, because I like quiche and I'm a real man. I'll eat most things and would try nearly anything.

NEARLY anything.  I don't think I'd put it in my mouth if it smelled bad or was still alive...especially if it was alive and wriggling.

ailurophilia

ailurophilia ai·lu·ro·phil·i·a [ahy-loor-uh-fil-ee-uh, ey-loor-] noun

a liking for cats, as by cat fanciers.

Not sure if this word describes me, because I don't just have a liking for cats, I love 'em. (Well, most of 'em, anyway; as many hang around my house, they sure love ME.)

I wonder if there's a word for a phobia about hating litter boxes?
