Wild Cards! 9/15/14

1.  We’ve begun to receive entries for the September contests, but not too many yet.  After today, you’ll only have 2 weeks left.  See details again here:  September Contest(s).

2.  Did you see last week’s Krazy Pic 2?  (Check the link if you missed it or want to see it again.)  About the same time I was preparing that, I got a similar picture from Alexis Avis.  She said she took it while visiting Mississippi.  (Those of you who know Alexis are smiling already! :-)).  This is another food variation, and I guess you could say “only in Mississippi!”.  But there are other intriguing questions as well!  See Krazy Pic 3.

3.  The Brain Teasers seem to be gaining some popularity, so shall we try a couple more quick ones?  Call them Presidents and Parachutists.   Neither of these is ‘mathematical’ !  🙂  (In fact, if you like history, you’ll likely get one of them quickly.) See Brain Teasers #4.

4.  This is great!  I ran into it again a couple of weeks ago – Cinnamon Staponski had posted it on FB, and I thought it’d be fun to share.  If you’re a mom, or if you plan to be a mom, or if you ever had a mom 🙂 . . . . you’ll enjoy this clip!  Perhaps many of you have already seen it, but it is EVERYTHING a mother ever says to her kids packed into 3 minutes, and sung to the tune of the William Tell Overture.  Check it out:

 5.  Two quick parting shots to lighten up your Monday:  Both are from the 1998 Calendar “365 Stupidest Things Ever Said”

a) an exchange between a game show host and a contestant.

b) an interesting statistic on divorce.
