Sixty years ago today, Soviet troops liberated the Nazi extermination camp at Auschwitz. At the end of the war, the general consensus was that we could not allow such a thing to happen again. Let us see how well we have done:

• Stalin
• Pol Pot
• Iraqi Kurds
• Serbia
• Rawanda

And those are the ones that come to mind without any research or digging.

Why is this important? Why can we never forget these horrors and strive to prevent them from being repeated?

The answer can be summed up by quoting Adolph Hitler himself:

“Who today remembers the Aremnian genocide?”

Hmmm…. ‘you might begin a relationship’ – thought these things were supposed to tell you stuff. I might also paint my house. I ,ight buy a new car. I might take up smoking. All of these things I classify as ‘highly unlikely, captain!’

From 20 Questions to a Better Sense of Humor:

Sunny/Dark: 2/10
drY/Gross: 5/10
Traditional/Offbeat: 5/10
Active/Passive: 6/10

You are a SGT–Sunny Gross Traditional. This makes you a John Hughes.

Your sense of humor makes you the ultimate every- person, just I’m-a try not to trouble nobody. You’re laid back. Like la-a-a-aid back. You might be from the Midwest.

You enjoy the occasional weird or dark humor, and the right joke out of nowhere can really make you laugh out loud. In fact, the funniest stuff for you is the stuff that takes you off guard. If you can see it coming, you don’t want to see it arrive.

You probably don’t think this site is all that funny. So it’s weird that you’re here. I appreciate it, though. Maybe I’ll cut back on the ranting and say something nice for a change.

Of the 6291 people who have taken this quiz, 28.1 % are this type.

Your Active humor score of 6/10 means you are ju-u-ust right. You’re probably pretty popular — a walking social lubricant. You know how to take someone from on edge to relaxed, and from relaxed to larfing. You’re kind of like an episode of Arrested Development. That show is good. Anyway. Rave on, funny one.

“If you can see it coming, you don’t want to see it arrive.” So true. So very true.

Jean Stapelton turns 82 today. Aaahhhhhchie….

This made me snarf.

Not much really going on at the moment. Procrastinating some things. Awaiting input on others.

Back on Weight Watchers – well not going to the meetings, but I have joined the Points Cult TM. Been getting up early and going to the gym too.

The snow appears to have stopped. The ball park looks very pretty in a blanket of white.

I got handed a cute comic today. Two nights standing outside a castle. One is saying “I’ve never actually stormed a castle, but I’ve taken a bunch of siege-management courses.”
