Facebook and Marvin

First impression of Facebook is that I probably won't be spending much time there.

One of the reasons is that I have too many other places NOT to spend time.

Might dabble a bit now and then.

Did a search for old friends, found none. Probaby because I never had any friends and if I did (hey it was a long time ago) everyone changed their name so I couldn't find em. Rumour has it they are all named Nathan now.

"Nathans, where are you?"

More Marvin in Detroit

Marvin rests in front of Joe Louis Arena, home of the Detroit Red Wings.
Marvin has just completed an exhition game against the Wings.
Final score: MARVIN 28 - (36 standing ovations)
RED WINGS 3 - (13 players in the hospital only able to suck on soup)

*** UPDATE *** UPDATE *** UPDATE ***

It has been pointed out that penalties per term were missed.

Red Wings: 0
Marvin: 5 (was sent to the penalty box five times resulting in the Red Wings
scoring 3 goals.)

Marvin played with one hand, a skate on one foot only and a tree branch for a stick.

Can Marvin Save Detroit?

Marvin recently spent four days in Detroit. It was a tough crowd, but Marvin dazzled all. It sure is strange to see Canada (Windsor, Ont.) across the river and south of Detroit.

Canada and Windsor should be north. We have a problem. What was them original surveyors smokin?

Detroit is currently in an economic downturn. Marvin has a plan.

Create a make-work project to move Detroit south of Windsor and Canada, where it should be.

The river would also need to be moved. Simple. Workers fill up water bottles and manally relocate the river to where Detroit will now be. With all the water gone, someobody will need to fill the hole (jobs). Somebody will need to make a new hole for the new river (jobs).

Jobs for all. New maps will need to be created (jobs). Horray for Marvin.

Some of you may ask "Why not move Windsor instead and create jobs for Canadians?"

Global Warming, Trees, You and Pickles

Marvin's research has confirmed that pickles are our buddies.

17 pickles were placed on a plate and put in Marvin's backyard for 3 hours. The experiment originally was to use 18 pickles, but Marvin ate one.

The temperature at the beginning was 28 degrees Celsius and the carbon dioxide level was 33 on an index of 100.

Backyard readings were taken after those 3 hours and the temperature had dropped to 26.4 Celsius and the carbon dioxide level was reduced to 31.57. An unexpected benefit was that on average 67 less bugs entered the backyard. It should also be noted that heat and carbon dioxide levels were measured in four other backyards prior to and after. Measurements in those backyards remained constant.

However, after 14 hours, the pickles released the heat and carbon dioxide and the bugs came back.

The test was repeated but this time Marvin ate the pickles. Marvin has efficiently become a tree. Marvin retained the heat and carbon dioxide that the pickles absorbed with no ill effects.(Okay, so one ear fell off, big deal! - find a surgeon)

Conclusion. Pickles are just as effective as trees in reducing heat and carbon dioxide levels worldwide, or at least in your backyard. If backyards around the world are Picklefied, the world is gonna be just peechy-keen. Al Gore or Micheal Moore might make a movie of you with your pickles - in your backyard - with less heat - and carbon dioxide and less of those pesky bugs.

I wonder what would happen if pickles were placed on the end of car radio antennaes?


Be a tree, eat a pickle and save the planet.

Marvin Wins Every Video Production Award In The World

Marvin did not win "Best Video Featuring A Snowblower" since the video did not contain said item. Next year.
Those of you sprouting up in Western Canada, especially Saskatchewan during the 60s might remember this band from Saskatoon. Marvin noticed Youtube had a few songs available so decided to create a medley of all the band's songs. Actually Marvin left a few out for the time being. None of the material is commercially available thus putting them in the rare tunes hard to get category.
Marvin spent countless hours over the years removing all those nasty clicks and pops and thuds that records are famous for after repeated play. The video is somewhat repetitive but you guessed it, Marvin won the award for "Best Repetitive Video Without A Snowblower"
Marvin did not have a lot of non musical material. Do we care Marvinites? No!

*** Warning: Does not contain all the standard stuff seen today (dancing dancing dancing - let's look sexy for our fans cuz our music sucks -- is my shirt open far enough - dance dance dance)***
