Crossing the Rubicon2 visits some museums.
The museum of hoaxes and an Arab Holocaust Museum.

In A Spygone Era Elie's Expositions posts his observations about the Spy Museum and wonders why the dominant media and entertainment culture seems to have changed so much.

Jack's Shack considers many of the challenges of going bargain shopping: such as the parking lots and

Costco where you go broke saving money by purchasing two tons of toilet paper at a time.

My most notable experience with a Chinese fortune cookie is that when I was dating my wife, but before we were really serious, I got a fortune cookie after a traditional :-) Thanksgiving dinner at a Chinese resteraunt. My fortune read "Stop searching always, happiness is right beside you."

Daled Amos keeps you full of Islamic chutzpah (sort of like Chinese food). Of course maybe the objection to the Israeli flag is that the stripes of blue are seen to represent the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River and Hamas is upset about the copyright infringement?

Check out Mountain View in Not Quite Perfect. Or anything else.

Me-Ander decides that its better to rent than go to the theater. And remembers a schoolmate.

Treppenwitz considers how even a toddler is subject to the laws of physics. Have you ever noticed that when a baby is learning to stand he/she can let go, but the moment he/she looks down and sees that he/she is standing, falls down? Like the cartoon characters who go off a cliff and stay suspended, until the look down?

Scott Ott has a tribute to his grandmother, who originated the name Scrappleface, but did something more important too.
