    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

It is what it is, but certainly not what it was.

Now this is interesting. I am posting a poll and I want you to answer the poll immediately without looking for images or otherwise thinking about it. I'm curious to know your answer.
 
answered, then I went to see if I was right lol
What strange things the mind remembers.
 
One of my kids is obsessed with the Mandela Effect. I will occasionally say silly things during dinner that is obviously inaccurate and argue that it is true and usually end with "well it must be the (insert weird celebrity name here) effect" and proceed to describe what the Mandela Effect is like nobody at the table has a clue what it is. Usually get an eye roll and laughter.

Oh, and I voted no.
 
Yeah, memory can be a funny thing, and the older I get the funnier (in a gallows humor sort of way) it gets. For instance, I would have bet money that we have bought Jiffy brand peanut butter in the past.

And I would also have bet money that in the Forrest Gump movie that the phrase was "Life is like a box of chocolates." Connie and I have watched that movie several times and said that quote between us MANY times in various situations. But guess what?

The problem with losing your memory is that you can't even remember what it is you might have forgotten.

I've heard people say "That guy has forgotten more than I will ever know." I used to think that was a compliment, but now I'm not so sure.
 
Oh, and about the Mickey Mouse poll. I would have sworn that Micky wore suspenders. Matter of fact, Connie walked into the den after I had been reading that, and I asked her about the suspenders. She immediately said "yes" that Mickey did wear them. When I showed her all the pictures I could find on Google of Mickey Mouse, and NONE of them had suspenders, she looked flabbergasted. She thinks this is all just a bad memory thing, but I have to admit that it IS interesting that so many people can have the wrong memory about certain things.
 
This really makes my brain hurt. I remember some things as the "before" and others as the "after"..... :crazy03:

 
Nope, Mickey doesn't wear suspenders. *I have been put through watching Mickey for the past 9 years and currently he wears a race suit since he does road races. :) *

Donald Duck doesn't even wear pants (in the original cartoons), so he has nothing to put suspenders onto *That wouldn't scar the kids at least...* (He also wears a race suit these days.)

Should be interesting to see the answers to these too:

Is it the Berenstain or Berenstein Bears?
Is it Looney Toons or Looney Tunes?
Is it "Luke, I am your father" or "No, I am your Father"?
Is it "Mirror Mirror on the Wall" or "Magic Mirror on the wall"?
 
Hmm, interesting..... Gets kind of political, but still.....

 
Here is an earlier video by this guy. Not quite as upbeat as his later ones.

 
This guy sure comes up with some interesting thoughts.....

 
I dunno, I guess I just like watching this guy's videos.....



But this does present an interesting view of some oddities he notes in the bible.
