- Japan’s Devastating Earthquake, 1923 – These are amazing. I suppose there is some silver lining in that the number lost this time was a lot less.

BAI?
A New Way to Measure Obesity: The Body Adiposity Index (BAI). Huh. I hadn’t heard of that before. I’m curious to see how my numbers would work out. I’m healthy as a horse (Dr. Chin ran full blood tests on me a few months ago) but my BMI puts me firmly in the “overweight” category. I’ll have to check out the BAI and see if it’s any different. (Incidentally, according to the comments on that article the formula is missing a critical symbol. I’m just going to use this calculator instead.)

Jump Rope for Heart
For the third year in a row, my little brother Joey is doing “Jump Rope for Heart” to raise money for kids with heart issues. If you’ve got some spare cash you’re able to donate to a good cause, please consider making a donation on his page. And check out the video of him jumping rope… He gets better every year!

Knitted Royal Wedding
I am going to go on the record as LOVING the knitted royal wedding. I think it’s adorable, and billion times more clever than Jean Greenhowe clowns. Of course, I am the type of person that makes crazy ballerina sock monkeys for fun.

Fun Surprise
The Snook pointed me to this “fun toy” today and hinted that “the colours aren’t random.” It took me a minute to figure it out, and then my jaw dropped in delight! Thanks, Snookums. 🙂
Edited 11/03/25: The particular URL he put in for me no longer works, but the site is still up and it’s pretty fun.
