Real Age Test

Yesterday I found a link on WISTV web site where you could take a test and it would tell you how old you really are. Most people know how old they are in calendar years, but don't have a clue how old they are in "REAL BIOLOGICAL YEARS". This test will tell you if you are biologically younger, older or the same as your calendar years.

Since tomorrow is my 64th birthday (8-30-08) I decided to take the test and see just how young and youthful I really am. Well, the test results did not turn out the way I thought they would. In fact the results of the test made me feel older than the man pictured in this blog or as the old saying goes "Older than Dirt". The stupid test told me that I was really 68 1/2 years old - can you believe how flawed some test are!!!!!

If you have the nerve to take this test click on the title to this post above and it will take you to the site where you can get insulted. You might save sometime by just looking in a mirror!

Have a youthful day!

WHAT IS GRITS?

I received an email this morning explaining a lot about grits, and I would like to share part of it with you. You can't acquire knowledge like this just anywhere!

Nobody knows. Some folks believe grits are grown on bushes and are harvested by midgets by shaking the bushes after spreading sheets around them. Many people feel that grits are made from ground up bits of white corn. These are obviously lies spread by Communists and terrorists. Nothing as good as grits can be made from corn.

The most recent research suggest that the mysterious Manna that God rained down upon the Israelites during their time in the Sinai Desert was most likely Grits. Critics disagree, stating that there is no record of biscuits, butter, salt, and red eye gravy raining down from the sky, and that God would no punish his people by forcing them to eat Grits without these key ingredients.

How Grits are Formed:

Grits are formed deep underground under intense heat and pressure. It takes over 1000 years to form a single grit. Most of the world's grit mines are in the state of South Carolina, and are guarded day and night by armed guards and pit bull dogs. Harvesting the Grit is a dangerous occupation, and many Grit miners lose their lives each year so that Grits can continue to be served morning after morning for breakfast (not that having Grits for lunch and dinner is out of the question).

Yankees have attempted to create a synthetic Grits. They call them Cream of Wheat. As far as we can tell the key ingredients of Cream of Wheat are Elmer's Glue and shredded Styrofoam. These synthetic grits have also been shown to cause nausea, and may leave you unable to have children.

Historical Grits:

As we mentioned earlier, the first known mention of the Grits was by the Ancient Israelites in the Sinai Desert. After that, the Grits was not heard from for another 1000 years. Experts feel that the Grits was used during this time only durning secret religious ceremonies, and was kept from the public due to it's rarity.

The next mention of the Grits was found amidst the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii in a woman's personal diary. The woman's name was Herculaneum Jemimaneus (Aunt Jemima to her friends.)

Now you know more than you did know about grits, and probably some things that you might question the validity of. Oh ye of little faith!

Hummingbirds

I think hummingbirds are one of the most fascinating birds that God created and they certainly put on a show. I really don't know how many hummers we have eating at our feeder this year, but there must be twenty or thirty of them. Our feeder is located right outside of our kitchen bay window where our table is located, and when we sit down to eat we refer to it as our private dinner theater. This time of year they empty the feeder in less than two days and you can't look out the window without seeing one are more of them taking on some sugar water -- they sure are hungry little things. The short video below will give you some idea of what I am talking about. There is Olympic music playing in the background during some of the video (as the Olympics had just come on TV). If you could only enter the hummers in the Olympics -- they would even take home more gold than Michael Phelps.
