Sphenoid Bone

Sphenoid bone

Younger con is taking a class in Anatomy & Physiology. Last week they were looking at bones of the skull. He's telling me about his class and then he mentions this one weird bone that is like in the middle of your head called the Sphenoid Bone. New to me.

Bus Crash

Bus Crash

One person died. This wreck happened on Iowa State Route 4 about 6 miles north of my wife's hometown of Rockwell City, Iowa. Bus was carrying a community college baseball team to a tournament in Arkansas. The crash happened around 11AM, and as you can see, there is no snow or ice on the road. So what caused the crash? Tire blow out? Driver fell asleep? Heart attack? Who knows?

Iowa is pretty flat, and the roads are mostly straight. There are curves here and there. It's kind of baffling.

Mah Nà Mah Nà

"Mah Nà Mah Nà" is a popular song by Italian composer Piero Umiliani. It originally appeared in the Italian film Sweden: Heaven and Hell (Svezia, inferno e paradiso). On its own it was a minor radio hit in the United States and in Britain, but became better known internationally after it was used by The Muppets and on The Benny Hill Show.

Golden Brown

This morning's post from Lone Star Parson includes the music video for Golden Brown by The Stranglers. I was going to repost it, but I already did two years ago. Anyhoo, I found this on Wikipedia:

The video for "Golden Brown" was directed by Lindsey Clennell. It depicts the band members as explorers in Egypt in the 1920s and performers for a fictional "Radio Cairo".

The video is intercut with stock footage of the Giza pyramid complex, the Mir-i-Arab Madrasah in Bukhara, the Shah Mosque in Isfahan, the Great Sphinx, sailing feluccas, Bedouins riding camels, and camel racing in the United Arab Emirates. The performance scenes were filmed in the Leighton House Museum in Holland Park, London, which was also featured in the video for "Gold" by Spandau Ballet in 1983. Both videos were filmed in the Arab Hall room of the museum.
