Stay away from The Heart Attack Grill,
Or it’s menu may leave you quite ill,
At least take a break,
From the extra fat shake,
Before you learn that cooks can kill.

You may recall Hugh McDowell’s dog key drama yesterday.
Well.

I was strolling by Merrion Gates [Co Dublin] yesterday evening when a glimmer of silver caught my eye, wedged in against the road/pavement. Above is what I found? As a keen dog man, I had been intrigued by your post earlier In the day relating to lost keys. Could you pass on contact info for the guy who lost his keys?
Yay.

During the recent snowstorm Nemo, New Yorker and Youtuber Brian Maffitt pointed a mobile projector (which was playing The Lorax at the time) out the window of his house and recorded its magical effect on the blizzard.
He’s since posted a full set of pix on his Flickr stream.

Going Logos
at
When 15 year old Tom Halpin saw Logos Hope in Hong Kong, he rushed on board to meet the crew. In 2009, Tom, then an agnostic, had visited the ship in his home city of Dublin, Ireland with his youth group. During a service on board a man called Justin from Bermuda asked if people wanted to leave their sin behind and truly commit to following God, to stand up with their eyes closed. “I told myself I wouldn’t ever stand up,” said Tom, “but an overwhelming force came from beneath me, I opened my eyes and I was standing up.” Today, Tom helps run a kids club at his church, organising games and teaching the Bible. “Thank you to the Logos Hope crew for giving God the chance to speak to me,” he added.
