Doppelgänger

A colleague stopped by today asked me if I knew who ESPN’s Sport Science host John Brenkus was?  I didn’t.  So he told me to go look him up at once on ESPN.  Apparently, he looks just like me.  Or I look just like him.  I dunno, he looks older than me, but setting that [...]

Today’s Dilbert Blog

If nothing else, today’s Dilbert Blog has the kind of humor that is right up strausmouse‘s alley. No pun intended. When you read the post, you’ll understand why.
