Full disclosure: he did it at a miniature golf course.

I wonder what blood circulation sounds like. Guess I’ll have to go to that Minnesota laboratory.

He would have had 39, but the windmill blades got in the way.

Cool story about Decando here. (And no, his Aces were not on a putt-putt course…)

Listening to my blood moving in my veins would freak me out!

There’s a fat-loss plan I’m not willing to commit to.

When I sleep on my left side I hear my pulse louder than the tinnitus unless I adjust the pillow just right. As I type I see that commercial for Mypillow.com is on again.

It doesn’t happen very often, but Ripley’s goofed today.It’s ORFIELD labs.

Totally inaccurate bit on that golfer. Yeah, right. OK, he made some holes in one, but nothing like the report in Ripleys. Furthermore, it is extremely easy for a golfer to claim to have shot a hole in one when such a thing never happened. Oh, yeah, that’s right—you need a witness for it to count! Oh, my! I don’t suppose the witness or witnesses could have been in on the scam for a few bucks or a nice dinner. This very much reminds me of the golf report for the late North Korean dictator Kim Jong 1l, who supposedly shot five holes in one the very first time he played golf. Or so went the official report / propaganda. This also reminds me of the case of some lady in the US about eight years ago or so who supposedly shot 11 holes in one during a single year. Not surprisingly, it turned out to be some publicity scam. And just for comparison’s sake, Jack Nicklaus, arguably the greatest golfer of all time, and more or less the same age as this guy, has a total of 21 holes in one, according to the best sources I could find, and Nicklaus played golf as his full time job for some forty years or so. This NJ golfer is a total scamster, and Ripleys should be ashamed for printing this trash.

Actually, Ripley’s used this BION just a few years ago. They don’t usually repeat.
