2012...the number of disaster movies rolled into 1

A new movie (2012) is about a specific year (2012) and gives us exactly what we want:

2012 super cool special effects scenes, 2012 explosions, 2012 giant waves, 2012 huge clouds of smoke and fire, 2012 dogs saved, and 2012 narrow escapes and heroic gestures that lead our race to escape it's doom.

Unfortunately the movie also comes with

2012 bad lines of dialogue
2012 flat characters that all get killed so the audience wouldn't notice
2012 cliche plot twists
2012 scientifically inaccurate statements

All in all, a fun movie to watch on a big screen with loud speakers. Don't expect any real story, or creative characters. It may be scary for some young kids but I thought they pulled a lot of punches myself. I'm surprised they took 3 hours to destroy the world, personally I like the 3 1/2 second method employed by The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

What if we could Change the World?

I had a funny idea the other day.
We could change the world!
Have you ever played Powerball, or any other lottery game?
Do you know how they work?
Wouldn't it be more fun to play if we could guarantee a winner EVERY DRAWING?

WE CAN

If we can organize enough people to play - then we could rig the game!
If there is a winner EVERY DRAWING it means: more winners.
If there are more winners, then everyone playing has a better chance of winning!
If you have a better chance to win - isn't it worth it?

Here's what we do. We need to assign everyone a unique lottery number.
Let's say we want to "rig the POWERBALL" - there are about 200 million numbers.
So if we get 200 million people to each take a number - then SOMEBODY has
to win EVERY TIME!

If you want more info on this...if you want to CHANGE THE WORLD, or MAKE
THE LOTTERY MORE FAIR ... then become a Fellow Bone Collector, and EMAIL
me!

Blog Under Construction

This blog is dedicated to "life's little leftovers". The bones - the remnants - of life's dream. These are the pages of our story that might have been tossed in the trash bin a little too early. These are the landscapes that rush by our windows when they deserve a second look. This is an exhumation of memories and ideas thought to be lost.

Someone once said, "God is in the details." But not many people know who - that's just one more detail overlooked. (Actually it was Ludwig Mies van der Rohe...I had to look it up.) I may not always remember the little things, but I find them very interesting. I hope to dig up many little things here, collect them, and store them away for someone else to find.

I describe myself "An Author Extraordinaire" and I hope to live up to that title here in my own digital space. I hope you soon become a "Fellow Bone Collector" and look forward to what lies ahead.
