So many things! First, in my younger years, when I was (cough cough) "less responsible," lava lamps could consume hours of my time! Loved the goodbye from the Outdoor Boys. Finally, the survival story says a lot about how we should live our lives. I believe that every day we have a choice and that choosing kindness is the choice that will make the most difference. That is what these boys did.

Fun to find out how lava lamps work. Very clever.

The story of the Tonga boys was so heartwarming. There has to be some story about what happened to the abandoned village on that island. Where did those people go?

"The United States is home to more ethnic Norwegians, English, Irish, and Germans than their home countries...." How is that even possible?

Speaking of phones ... Chuck Norris can strangle you with a cordless phone.

Thank you for verifying all the rare-earth metals in a smartphone! I’ve been watching headlines where Greenland, Ukraine, oh yeah and Canada are in conversations for mineral deals and I figure it’s because of tech but I haven’t figured out if it’s for more phones or batteries for bigger things than phones like cars or making more GPUs for AI. It’s probably the last thing

Good one, Paul. Who would have thought the oversized pachyderm would have a better memory than I?
