Notes on Religion, Guns and Longevity

While trump is making a fool of himself again in the eyes of our allies, our enemies... except for his "followers"...  I thought that I might escape the news and post a few notes on subjects that I am interested in.

Longevity

From: Senior Center Comedy:  

A reporters interviewing a 104 year old woman asked:  "What do you think is the best thing about being 104?"  She simply replied:  "No peer pressure!"

She also said that she had decided to prepare her will and told the reporter that she had two final requests.  First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes to be scattered over WalMart.  "Why WalMart?" asked the reporter.  "Because then I'll be sure my daughters will visit me twice a week."

From:  The Week Magazine:

A new company called Nectome is developing a "high tech" embalming process that will preserve your brain contents.  In the future, scientists will use it to prepare a computer simulation of you... though not exactly you...  The only drawback is that you have to be euthanized first!

From:  Yahoo "My Life Profile" (2014)

I was notified that someone had viewed a profile of my life.  Curious, I asked for more detail.  I was told that the viewer was a 113 year old male who lived near me in Westminster, Maryland.

Guns

From The Week Magazine:

A 5 year old boy shot and killed his 2 year old sister with a birthday present gift that he had just received.  It was a single shot "Cricket" sold under the marketing slogan "My First Rifle."

Keystone Sporting Arms continues to see "Crickets" that come in appealing colors for kids, like "hot pink" and "multicolor swirl."

Also From The Week Magazine:

American Legacy Firearms unveiled the "Dallas Heritage Rifle"  to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Lee Harvey Oswald's assassination of President John F. Kennedy.  The company boss said: "If I hurt someone's feelings, I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna worry about it."


Religion

Once again from The Week Magazine:

There is a German firm called Atheist which ships parcels to the United States.  However, half of their parcels do not show up and the company thinks that religious U.S. Postal workers are disrupting the deliveries because the name of the company is stamped on the packages.   Could be.

Finally, from Wait Wait Don't Tell Me (I think):

There is a new nightclub act called:   The Topless Rabbis.

That's right, they are not wearing their yamakas!
