November 1941: Stretching To Be A Fireman

GINO FRANCESCHINI, New York City, was only 5 feet 6-1/4 inches tall and had to be 5 feet 7 inches to qualify as a fireman. He made the neck stretcher shown above. When measured, he still lacked an eighth of an inch. He hit himself on head to make a bump—and still couldn’t make it.

Today’s Google Doodle for Memorial’s Day is the most moving Doodle they’ve ever posted. It’s from 12th grade Wisconsin student Sabrina Brady who won Google’s sixth Doodle competition.

Today I woke up and my first thought was: “I should really write an essay called How Everyone Is Annoying.”

So it’s going to be one of those days.

"What if all women were bigger and stronger than you? And thought they were smarter? What if women..."

“What if all women were bigger and stronger than you? And thought they were smarter? What if women were the ones who started wars? What if too many of your friends had been raped by women wielding giant dildos and no K-Y Jelly? What if the state trooper who pulled you over on the New Jersey Turnpike was a woman and carried a gun? What if the ability to menstruate was the prerequisite for most high-paying jobs? What if your attractiveness to women depended on the size of your penis? What if every time women saw you they’d hoot and make jerking motions with their hands? What if women were always making jokes about how ugly penises are and how bad sperm tastes? What if you had to explain what’s wrong with your car to big sweaty women with greasy hands who stared at your crotch in a garage where you are surrounded by posters of naked men with hard-ons? What if men’s magazines featured cover photos of 14-year-old boys with socks tucked into the front of their jeans and articles like: “How to tell if your wife is unfaithful” or “What your doctor won’t tell you about your prostate” or “The truth about impotence”? What if the doctor who examined your prostate was a woman and called you “Honey”? What if you had to inhale your boss’ stale cigar breath as she insisted that sleeping with her was part of the job? What if you couldn’t get away because the company dress code required you wear shoes designed to keep you from running? And what if after all that women still wanted you to love them?”

This isn’t always true depending on circumstances and ability… but if you’re reading this, it probably does apply to you.

The Japanese are so awesome that they eat poisonous fish (the pufferfish, called fugu).

Today I turned my Fenix LED flashlight into a lantern/light diffuser by attaching a cut-off latex glove finger to the top. Works perfect.

Now I have the perfect, rechargeable tent light and it cost me about ten cents. Sweet deal.

I’m returning the lame $20 LED lantern I bought at REI last week.
