US Navy Captures Lake Michigan Monster

OH YEAH! We're going on vacation there in 2009, this will be a great tale for the kids all week.

The US Navy captured a 140-foot monster in Lake Michigan on September 16 and a secret Pentagon photograph proves it!

The picture clearly shows a pair of Navy divers cautiously approaching the beast just minutes after it was immobilized in a gigantic steel net.

And while it is not yet known what the Navy plans to do with the monster, sources say that every effort will be made to keep it alive while researchers try to figure out what it is, how it got into Lake Michigan and if there are more like it.

"I don’t want to sound like a gawking tourist but the Loch Ness monster is nothing, and I do mean nothing, compared to this, "declared marine biologist Richard Clarke, who cited Pentagon sources and documents when he blew the lid off the capture of the beast at a news conference in Washington, DC.

"The Navy spent six months trying to capture this thing," he continued, "and the big question now is what the hell did they catch? The monster looks like a dinosaur but there are several important distinctions.

"For one thing, dinosaurs were exceedingly stupid but this lake monster apparently has an intelligence rivaling that of a dog or a horse. It also has lungs and gills, which enable it to breathe in or out of water at will.

"One of the more intriguing aspects of this case is why nobody has reported seeing the monster before, he added. "Then again, people may have seen it but were too embarrassed or afraid to talk."

We're going to call him Michie.

Naughty Pic?

Nah, it's my uvula. It's from my exclaiming "NOOOOOOO" reaction to news stories about Black Friday.

Where's your uvula pic?

Duck Soup

When the power came back on after 8:30 last night, one of my "me and the kids" plans had been scuttled. We have rented "Duck Soup" by the Marx Brothers on NetFlix, and I'm planning on dropping it on them some night, and we'll sit together and watch it. Last night would have been perfect, except, well, you know, no power.

My experiment a few months ago, exposing them to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, wasn't the big hit I was hoping for, but they didn't hate it, either. The Marx Brothers are both more and less accessible to 12 and 8 year olds - true, the kids don't have to work through accents, but they have to work through 1933 technology standards, which I'm sure seems much more foreign to them. On the upside, it's short, at 68 minutes. So, for a few gags and silly songs, it might be something they can make it through and actually, oh, I don't know, say was okay.

Hopefully sometime this week we can have our "old-time movie night" and watch this, and see how it goes.

Thinking of Selchow and Righter...

Yeah, we played Scrabble last night. We have a VERY old version of the game, from my parents.
