The Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread 3!

One of that best things about the story behind the funny headline is this:

Implantable medical heart-monitoring devices, which provide a similar service, can cost up to $40,000. Conn estimates they will be able to charge just $100 per month for their toilet seat, which would include all the necessary monitoring services.

2008 was the year where things started approaching their current levels:

How Much things cost in 2008
Average Cost of new house $238,880.00
Average Income per year $40,523.00
Average Cost for house rent $800.00
Average New Car: $27,958.00
Cost of a gallon of Gas $3.39
US Postage Stamp 42 cents

I'm glad to see this comment in that story: As yet, the United States hasn’t hit this IQ wall — despite what you may be tempted to surmise from the current state of the political debate.

I read it too. I am still concerned about the significance of the Kardashians a what that means to our overall intellectual progress. Is it meaningless or the start of Idiocracy?

See @Revoltingest , I'm not the only one who reads your links. Maybe it comes for me from growing up in the era of Art Linkletter.

Who is the bigger loser. The losers that read, sometimes, what you post or the loser who spends time finding things to post?

Just two?

Egyptian revivalism? I wonder if dog IQ's are rising even as ours are diving? One of these days, the dogs are just going to say goodbye and thanks for all the bones.

 

[Revoltingest]

Just two?

I counted.
I'll double check.
<whistling sound to pass time>
Yup, only 2.

Sounds like a new hyperspace bypass is in the works.

Sometimes laws that exist confuse me. What is happening that laws must be put in place to prevent people from burying an animal in a casket in a cemetery? If you want to have your dog embalmed or cremated and buried with you, how is that going to be anymore of a health problem than a bunch of dead human bodies all concentrated in one place?

I have good company then. I thought there was a bear though.

More stuff for me to worry about.
