As ever, The Onion was way ahead of everyone in reporting on this issue:

| Ha well better make the most of my life , well at least until October. Perhaps by then a new date will be declared for the end of the world. How about 12-12 -2012 . That sounds to be a good candidate for the world's end. |

The Jewish Bra!
A young Jewish man walks into the lingerie department. He tells the saleslady, "I would like a Jewish bra for my wife, size 34C.
With a quizzical look the saleslady asked, "What kind of bra?"
He repeated, "A Jewish bra. She said to tell you that she wanted a Jewish bra and that you would know what she wanted."
"Ah, now I remember," said the Saleslady. "We don't get as many requests for them as we used to. Most of our customers lately want the Catholic bra, or the Salvation Army bra, or the Presbyterian bra."
Confused, the man asked "So, what are the differences?
The saleslady responded. "It's all really quite simple. The Catholic bra
supports the masses, the Salvation Army lifts up the fallen, and the
Presbyterian bra keeps them staunch and upright."
He thought about that for a minute and said, "What does the Jewish bra do?"
"Ah, the Jewish bra," she replied "makes mountains out of molehills."

A Letter from Rick Perry
Introducing PerryCare
14-Sep-2011
Dear American,
For the last few weeks I've been under constant attack. My opponents would
have you believe that if I'm elected, you'll be stripped of your Social
Security benefits and will be scrounging for food in dumpsters with all the
desperation of a feral cat.
Of course, that's true. But what they don't tell you is what I'd replace
Social Security with: an amazing new program I like to call PerryCare.
Under PerryCare, you'll receive all the food, clothing and shelter you
need, and it won't cost a dime in taxes. How is that possible? Simple: you'll
be praying for all those things.
As a PerryCare recipient, each week you'll receive in your email box a
PerryCare PrayerMail, giving you an easy-to-recite prayer for the bread,
milk, cat food or whatever else you need to survive. It's like a Groupon
from God.
PerryCare is more than a replacement for that infernal Ponzi scheme that
has bamboozled Americans with regular monthly checks for 75 years. It is
part of my larger plan to return prayer to its rightful place in American
life. I get down on my knees every night and I promise you, if I am elected
your President, I will bring this entire country to its knees.
I expect that some of my opponents will laugh at my plan, especially that
lawn gnome Ron Paul and Michele "Crazy Eyes" Bachmann. Fine, let them
laugh! Laughter is the best medicine. And if I am elected, there will be
no other medicine.
That brings me to my PerryCare medical plan, which will replace Medicare
once I consign that Ponzi scheme to the electric chair of history. I don't
have enough time to go into the whole plan right now, but here it is in two
words: single prayer.
Your next President,
Gov. Rick Perry

| 7 our of 10. There are very subtle clues. Way subtle. |
Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

Useless information is fun!
I recorded my regular trip from Nashville, TN, to Asheville, NC on my GPS, which produced a .kml file with the location/speed/elevation data. I can then load that into Google Earth:

It's gotten to the point where The Onion is the only new source I trust.
