Stop by the Strip Mall, Check your Paternity

I was visiting suburban Cincinnati recently and while driving by a strip mall noticed this sign. 

When I think of DNA testing I think more  of the criminal forensic technology of TV shows like CSI or NCIS. Or DNA paternity testing on the afternoon TV soap operas.  I just assumed the cops took DNA to some lab, and if you needed to know who your Daddy Papa was, you visited your doctor and he arranged the tests. I was surprised at storefront DNA testing in a strip mall.  Was it franchised? Would they have a drive thru? Perhaps a #1 Value Deal would be a specimen jar and cotton swab. I drove around and found the lab was actually behind the strip mall in an office building. Not a storefront after all.  But not a sign you see everyday, if ever.  Click here for a larger version.

Head Implant in Spain

I love my Apple Macbook Pro.  I like playing around with the Apple program Photo Booth.  That’s how I created this goofy picture of myself.  It’s how I might look if I got a two inch head implant that Dr Luis de la Cruz is doing in Spain. 

Here’s the full story…..

Beached Whale Spotted In Mexico

While visiting Mexico after we set up our towels, sun umbrella, etc. this became our view.  Click here for the full size version.  By the way, this picture is not re-touched.  The ocean in Cozumel is really that blue. Had a great time on a true off-road 4×4 Jeep excursion.

Dept. of Erection Bus - Not Photoshopped

This is a 100% real picture.  Not photoshopped.  I ran across this at the Indiana State Fairgrounds parking lot.  Someone took and old Indiana Department of Corrections bush and re-painted it.  Click here for the full size version.

Giant Bronze Dolphins Invade Indiana

“Um, yea honey I’m at Costco and I’m gonna’ pick up that 75 pack of toilet paper you wanted.  And, uh, they’ve got a really cool bronze dolphin thing, can I pick it up for $4,000?”

OK, I made up the conversation.  I took this pic as I visited my local Indianapolis, Indiana Costco.  I guess I could understand if this was for sale in Miami or Tampa…but here in the Midwest…thousands of miles from any ocean?  I really wish I could see the sculpture in someone’s yard covered with snow and ice in January.  I just don’t get it.  But people do love dolphins.  Maybe they’re fans of the old TV show Flipper.

Let The Force Water Your Lawn

I do enjoy Star Wars.  Not a fanatic, but a fan.  Here’s my Darth Vader lawn sprinker that I got this as a gift a few years back.  I set it up to shoot a video of it, got just a couple of minute of video before it broke.  You used to be able to buy it on shop.starwars.com, but they now show it as out of stock.  But you can buy it on Amazon.

Scare the heck out of you skin lotion

Walking thru the local drug store I happened on this package.  I understand they want to emphasize that it is an all natural fruit thing.  But they make the woman look like some plant alien from a Sci-Fi movie.  Click here for the full size version…
