A Cirque Birthday
It’s my birthday today (May 27 – a day ahead in China) which is not interesting in itself, but two kind of funny things:
Did you know you can send greeting cards from the Cirque Du Soleil website? A friend sent me this and I thought it was awesome: Cirque Du Soleil Conrad Birthday Card.
And if you wonder where I get my sense of humor from (most call it a curse…), my Mother played a good birthday trick on me. She had everyone and their brother send me a birthday message. So today (I’m a day ahead of the West because I’m living in China) I got swamped with birthday greeting emails. That was very fun.
And you know what I get to do on my birthday? Rehearse the newest Cirque Du Soleil show in their new theater. And THAT is the best birthday present of all!
FYI, the software WordPress is 5 years old on May 27.

I know someone who really digs this song.
Darwin Recanted on his Deatbed
Think about this:Â Galileo was forced to admit to the public that the Earth was flat by the Catholic Church. Does that make the Earth flat today?
Now fast-forward to Charles Darwin and the claim: “Darwin recanted the theory of evolution on his deathbed”. I saw that posted again today on a creation debate discussion forum.
No, he didn’t. Sorry, it’s just not true. I thought this had long been put to rest, but saw it posted yesterday on one of my creation vs. evolution discussion websites.
This is a very old and untrue argument (if it can be called an argument, doesn’t really even have a bearing on anything). In fact, it is such an untrue statement that even the creation flagship website answersingenesis.org says not to use it.

Lost Parrot Tells Cops His Address
TOKYO, Japan — When Yosuke the parrot flew out of his cage and got lost, he did exactly what he had been taught — recite his name and address to a stranger willing to help.
Lost in Tokyo, Yosuke the parrot was able to give his name and address to get taken home.
Police rescued the African grey parrot two weeks ago from a neighbor’s roof in the city of Nagareyama, near Tokyo. After spending a night at the station, he was transferred to a nearby veterinary hospital while police searched for clues, local policeman Shinjiro Uemura said.
