Science

I remember when I used to be nostalgic….

That’s a great line; I wish I could remember where I first heard it...

This past week was mid-year performance review time at my office. I told my coworkers that my plan was to blame my less than stellar performance on biorhythms. This generated a great deal of discussion amongst the guys, mostly about how stupid my plan was, and whether or not there was anything to biorhythms.

Biorhythms, along with mood rings, John Denver, and earth shoes were among the more interesting things to come out of the 70’s.

The theory regarding biorhythms is that our lives are affected by some natural biological cycles; physical (23 days), emotional (28 days), and intellectual, (33 days). Proponents claim you can use biorhythms to predict when you may be at your peak physically, emotionally, and intellectually, and use that information to your benefit. Personally, I keep waiting for those peak physical and/or intellectual days. I’d like to think that at 49+, I would’ve had at least one of each…

Here’s a link to a biorhythm site:

Biorhythm Calculator

If you were born in the Mountain Time Zone, select -7 from the pull-down menu.

Also, try the Dalai Lama Personality Test from the blue “Rubbish” button. I took this personality test, but I failed…

Note to reader: Imagine a well-crafted transition paragraph here…

There’s an old saying about men with big feet… Since about the 8th grade, I have had large feet, size 12 to be more precise. Anyway, in my case the old saying is definitely true. Men with big feet also have really big….



Shoes….

I used to have a pair of size 12 earth shoes; they were the most comfortable pair of shoes I ever owned. They were big brown, ugly, nasty-lookin’ things and I loved ‘em. Mrs. R, however, did not, and was often made physically ill by the sight of me wearing my earth shoes. So for the sake of Mrs. R’s health, as well as the general betterment of things here at Casa del Rogue, I reluctantly parted with my earth shoes.

Does anybody need some John Denver albums?

I know a man who swears his wife's mood ring really works. When she is in a good mood it turns bright blue and when she is in a bad mood it leaves a red welt on his forehead.

Well, that's the thing about science from the 70's, it was easy to use, and easy to understand...
