I Got Questions

I'm not the smartest guy in the world so maybe you can help me with a question.

Why do we care about dark matter?

Work begins on world's deepest underground lab

Far below the Black Hills of South Dakota, crews are building the world's deepest underground science lab at a depth equivalent to more than six Empire State buildings — a place uniquely suited to scientists' quest for mysterious particles known as dark matter.

Your tax money at work for that matter.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to lock them in a dark room and let them look there so the cost won't matter?

For scientists the cost doesn't matter.

Scientists believe only their research will matter.

Does it matter what you do with the matter when you find it?

Why does it matter?

I guess if they find it, an age old question will be answered. What's the matter?

If they don't find it I guess you would say, 'I don't mind you don't matter.'

If they do find it I guess it will then be a matter of fact.

If they find more than one matter, then that will be what matters.

If the scientists find it, will they document it as a matter of time?

If they find oil, that will surely matter.

I doubt anyone will answer my question but I guess it won't matter.

How will they know they found it if it is dark?



OK, my editor Pat turned me on to a story that makes me ask the question, 'Has common sense disappeared?'

No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service!

A sign we have all seen has now taken on a whole new meaning thanks to the King.

Yes The King. I'm sure you have all seen the Burger King.

Well, it appears one of the King's loyal employees may have flame broiled their brain.

"No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service!" That's what the mother of 6-month-old Kaylin Frederich was told by the manager of her local St. Louis, Missouri, Burger King when she tried to order a Whopper.

Isn't Burger King the one that coined the phrase 'Have it your way?'

Kaylin, her mom, Jennifer, and Jennifer's mother were booted from the restaurant due to "health concerns."

The manager told her, "You can order 'to go' but you're going to have to leave if she doesn't have shoes on.' He said, 'It's against health code.'"

Kaylin's mom said she put socks on the baby's feet to try to comply with the manager's request, but the manager threatened to call the police.

That certainly qualifies as a 911 call don't you think?

That's it for this week as I do doubles Thursday and Friday.
