Here's a letter that says, "When I was in the Army a buddy gave me a Roman Coin that he picked up when he was invading the beach in North Africa. Our kids took it to school for Show 'N Tell and lost it! I had saved it for over thirty years and was a prized possession."

Would you put into the hands of a child anything you ever wanted to see again?

Would you put into the hands of anyone anything you wanted to see again?

Over a year ago I loaned out a French book to a classmate. Unfortunately, I don't know where he lives. The only way I'm going to get that French phrase book back is to stand outside of the church where he preaches and follow him home.

Listen to these quotes that David sent me. "If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong." "All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand." "What's the speed of dark?" I said that they sounded like Steven Wright and David said that half the jokes on the internet attributed to him are not his.

Steven Wright is doing better than Obama. About 95% of the problems attributed to him are not his.

Last week, I provided some background information on the history of what became known as the "Bovie knife" or just the "Bovie", which instrument was invented by Dr. William T. Bovie of Ohio, a onetime professor at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. The story continues...

When the word "Bovie" titillated some brain cells in my head, I remembered my pleasant and fascinating encounter with a learned professor bearing that name. So I went to my computer to cast about for possible references to this creative scientist and was soon rewarded with a plethora of fascinating information.
