I must be an ape - I barely use my opposableness!

Stupid show-off opposable thumbs
I don't feel much like blogging today. My back hurts, I have had a crick in my neck for over a week and I think I may have carpel tunnel in my right index finger. Is the index finger the one that you point with (the one right next to the thumb)? Maybe that's just the pointing finger...whatever that one is called that's the one that hurts all the time. Probably arthritic since I am probably Matt In The Second Part Of Middle. Even thought I type fairly quickly I don't do it using all ten fingers. I still use that finger for typing about 70% of the time even though I don't have to hunt and peck. I could probably type really fast if I used all of the fingers like I am supposed to. I guess I use my left index finger about as much as the right one while typing but the right one has to do other tasks like: pointing out things to people, cleaning out my ears, scratching things, picking my nose... so it gets more abuse. I appreciate you right pointer/index finger though I don't say it often enough. It has to be tough living right next to the thumb...the thumb is so pompous saying, "I am opposable and I am the thing that separates us from the apes and without me we could never hitch-hike and Happy Days would not been near as good."

How come the word opposable shows that it is spelled incorrectly and says it should be imposable? I think it must be a coup by the other phalanges.

Did you listen to the Dirty Laundry Podcast episode with America's first serial killer's (H.H. Holmes) great great grandson (Jeff Mudgett) on it (load #50)? On that show you learned that H.H. Holmes' (soon to be played by Leo DiCaprio on the big screen) body was encased in concrete presumable, according to Jeff's book Bloodstains, to protect the identity of the body inside so people would not find out that H.H. Holmes had escaped the gallows and was still alive. I just heard that Whitney Houston's body is to be encased in concrete as well to protect the body from grave-robbers. Supposedly she was buried with expensive jewelry. who says you can't take it with you? I guess that's better than a few coins over the eyes to pay the ferryman. Maybe there are different classes on the ship to the afterlife - who wants to be in steerage? We've all seen Titanic!
h.h. holmes or 6 6 6 olmes?

I cannot believe Newt Gingrich pulled-out of the Presidential race. I was pretty sure he was just about ready to make that huge surge to become President. I am glad he showed his true colors as a quitter now before he got into office.

Now I am listening to load #50 of Dirty Laundry Podcast while I continue to blog; there are so many things wrong with me. 

Saturday night we are supposed to have a "Super Moon" at about 11:30PM. This means that it will be closest to Earth and it is some kind of weird alignment with Earth the moon and the sun as I understand it. While I just began reading about it right now I discovered that this "ultrarare occurrence" happened about a week before Titanic sank. Is it a cosmic coincidence that I just wrote about Titanic three paragraphs ago? I did not know anything about the Titanic connection when I wrote that. Maybe the Mayans knew about the Super Moon! I am sure it will be a cloudy, rainy night in the MIDDLEwest and we will not be able to see it.

I have to get some things done so I think I had better cut this off right now (TWSS). I hope you have a great Thursday. It is supposed to be a nice day in the MIDDLE again and I hope it's nice where you are. Thank you for stopping in - I always appreciate you being here. TTTT...MITM (offen sie)
