Short and Semi-sweet

Are you a Facebook user? I do have a presence there, but I rarely login. MBH uses my account to prevent any controversy from students trying to friend her or anything. I am going a bit too far afield. My point was to ask if you have ever bemoaned not having a Dislike button. Well, fret no more. Zuckerberg has agreed to add a Dislike button for you to express your displeasure. Do you like the idea or does it get your first Dislike?

And in your mind, when you are flying along a freeway at a nice speed, does your car become sort of a space ship or something and you think you are cutting through the universe without making a ripple? Well, Mercedes-Benz is bringing that a bit closer to reality. This car actually does morph into a more aerodynamic shape when you go above 50mph. There is a video at the link.
















Speaking of cars, I just saw on TV that a Jaguar drove the world's largest loop (63 ft), pulling 6.5Gs while doing so. You can watch the video here.

You looking for more speed? A new roller coaster at Cedar Point in Ohio will give you that and more, setting 10 world records of various types. Check out the whole story.











Salad. Quiche. Panini. Sound like a good meal? Maybe, but these are all ideas on what to do with leftover pizza. Can't picture it? Then read the article and start getting more creative with your leftover pizza. Don't have any, even if you order in a delivery pizza? Yeah, we usually polish our off, too.

Now that we have had our dinner, you are wishing you had a dessert, aren't you? 3 ingredients is all you need to make your own fruit roll-ups. You do have to invest a little time, but you can be sure these would be healthier than store-bought versions.

Wait. I thought we were through with the meal and had moved on to dessert. Well, this is a cake, not a KFC meal. More similar photos here.



















Admit it. You've wished your smartphone had a larger screen but still was small enough to fit in your pocket. You know that you have. Well, Samsung's rumored foldable phone may be exactly what you are looking for. Some of the rumored specs are covered in this rumored article.














I am running late this morning because I had a dentist appointment. I have some pain in my lower right jaw and it turns out that the dentist thinks he missed a third root from a root canal last year. Well, I will have it checked out next week.

No CoV today. Sorry. We'll talk again tomorrow.
