Honolulu Robin Hood Bankrobber busted after 15 heists
We saw this on the news last night. The guy was very good natured as he stood there in handcuffs. He is supporting three families on an island where minimum rent for a one bedroom is usually somewhere in the neighborhood of $1500 a month and the typical job pays $10 or less an hour….
Stinky feet, annoying noise top IgNobel prize list
Forget the Nobel prize, it’s boring and far too political. I prefer the Ignobles….here are this years winners… Now, it seems that I have the hiccups…I suppose the Bush Butt Plug is a cure for them too…. cd WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Research into stinky feet, a study on the sound of fingernails on a blackboard…
Dead Bachelors in Remote China Still Find Wives
CHENJIAYUAN, China — For many Chinese, an ancestor is someone to honor, but also someone whose needs must be maintained. Families burn offerings of fake money or paper models of luxury cars in case an ancestor might need pocket change or a stylish ride in the netherworld. But here in the parched canyons along the…

Bernest Ernstein, our sex loving senior citizen blogger has been known to disappear for months at a time on trips to remote locations in…
Kuliouou Ridge Trail
We must have picked the hottest day of the year to do this relatively safe and rewarding hike. Expect a workout, but just about anyone can do it as evidenced by the hordes of people we encountered on the way up and then back down. This is one of East Oahu’s more popular hikes so…
Cashore Marionettes
We were able to catch this show at Windward Community College. It was the first time the Cashore Marionettes had come to Hawaii. The show was moving, emotional, entertaining, and slightly creepy. The realistic movement of the puppets was mind boggling. My favorite was an old man who is seeking truth through meditation, Mink liked…
Madonna adopts Baby Malawi Boy
While I think that this is a very cool trend (celebrities adopting children from poor countries) there is something disturbing about it. Who will be the next to do it? Will it be Brittany and Kfed? Will it be Jennifer Aniston? Will it be Beyonce? Will it be Shaq? Time will reveal all. cd LILONGWE (Reuters) –…
