 Charlotte Brontë

"has been chained, weeping, to a radiator in the Haworth Parsonage, Yorkshire, for too long."

Contrary to Mrs. Gaskell, she was a passionate woman. I think anyone who actually reads Brontë could figure this out.

"If you knew my thoughts; the dreams that absorb me; and the fiery imagination that at times eats me up ... you would pity and I daresay despise me."

 Blow up your scooter

A woman's brand new scooter, parked at the vehicle registration office waiting to be checked out, is blown up when someone thouth it might be a bomb.  Said her boyfriend,

"You just would have thought that someone would have had the sense to double check."

Had the sense? That's a bit much to expect, isn't it?

 Unbelievable

Hard to believe, but, I, yes that's me, was giving religious advice to a born again co-worker this weekend who can't find a church she likes. My advice? To take a bible study class and actually read the thing.

 Typo of the day

"I was with him when he left this plane for a better existence."

Was that a non-stop flight?

 Small town life

I've concluded that literate people donate their used stuff to the animal rescue thrift store. They have the best selection of books.

 The weird world of dating

In a place far, far away.

Hong Kong - A dinner date Romeo wooed lonely Hong Kong women over the internet, then took them for expensive meals and fled, leaving them to pay the bills, a news report said on Friday.

The sly charmer took them out for lavish dinners, then asked to use their cellphones to make a business call and fled shortly before the bill was due to arrive, the South China Morning Post reported.

 Librarians get serious

Librarians in Michigan want overdue library book offenders arrested.

Paffhausen, who took over as director in October, is asking the Bay County Library Board for permission to seek arrest warrants for offenders who ignore repeated notices. The board plans to consider the crackdown next month.

 Small town life

There is a bizarre small town ritual I'll call truck docking. Two trucks approach on a road. The drivers each realize, "Hey, that's my buddy." So they stop in the middle of the road and talk to each other while they're in their trucks. It doesn't  matter how many people are behind them or how long they hold up traffic.

Of course when two idiots meet they have trouble lining up their trucks so they can talk. So it takes a few attempts backing up and pulling forward until their windows are properly aligned for a jaw.

Strange bedfellows

The National Religious Broadcasters get down.

Perhaps the most startling moment of the morning was an appearance by popular Christian Zionist author, Kay Arthur of Precepts Ministries. "I love America," Arthur said, her voice quivering with emotion. "But if it came to a choice between Israel and America, I would stand with Israel." While the crowd applauded tepidly, I looked around and saw more than a few faces cringing with embarrassment. Arthur went on to read excerpts from the Book of Revelations, painting a surreal image of Jesus seated in a throne floating above Jerusalem, rapturing all the world's true believers up to Heaven. She left the fate of unreconstructed Jews to the imagination.

Via A Brooklyn Bridge.
