Take the Christ Out of Christmas, But Put the Bunny Back In Easter

Published on April 21, 2011 in Baby Boomer. 2 Comments Tags: .

A Tennessee church is trying to make inroads with the christians in Smallburg.

This Holy Week the people who probably grumble most about taking the Christ out of Christmas are putting the Bunny into Easter.

Bunnies in Car

 

The Great Bunny Takeover was created as a fun way to get out into the community and let people know about the church,… The bunnies and other volunteers have handed out candy and helped people carry their groceries, and the bunnies have posed for pictures with children.

Just as Christmas is all about Santa Claus, Easter is all about the Easter Bunny.

Classic iPod Total Knee Replacement GPS Races iTit to Market

Remember the iPod? Some of you may still have them kicking around the bottom of your sock drawer next to the CDs. It’s the way most people used to listen to music.

That was before the iPhone. Is the iPod destined to become as useful as the Sony Walkman? Not if the Smith & Nephew guys have anything to say about it.

Knee Replacement
Smith & Nephew – not to be confused with Smith Brothers or Smith and Wesson – make gadgets for the medicos. They have conjured up a way to make a GPS for knee and hip replacement work on an iPod.

The brains behind the gizmo is a system by Brainlab. It’s still unapproved by the FDA, but the cool factor is high. Watching the video, I thought they were unloading a Segway. But, it turns out, that was the receiver for the iPod Dash transmitter.

Which really is better than using an iPhone, with Angry Birds, texting and tweeting…

It’s a race to see which comes to market first, the iPod Knee Navigator or the iTit.

While other states take pride in lowest obesity (OK) or most solar power (AZ) or most organic mushrooms (PA), good old Kentucky excels in having the longest cave. I’m taking credit for that. I’m as entitled to the recognition of Mammoth Cave as any other Kentucky resident.

Mammoth Cave: 60 Found It. He Isn’t Keeping It.

Kentuckians also celebrate their rich, glorious tobacco heritage by puffing on the noxious weed at such a high degree that KY has best cancer death rate.  The other tobacco haven, (NC) has the fewest librarians per capita.

Of course, environmentalists and the tobacco lobby would argue  that the worlds longest cave has been seeping Radon into our basements and crawlspaces has caused our high lung cancer rate.

Stats and Charts. Gotta love ‘em.
