How To Use One Square Of Toilet Paper And Save The Planet

Posted 3/11/2008 7:46 am by Trace Sharp and RJ Saddler

In the world of living green, there are things that you can do to make the world a better place. Last year, Al Gore even had a global concert called Live Earth and advocated small things you could do to fight climate control (the new word for global warming.)

His suggestions were pretty simple: turn lights off, unplug your cell phone when it’s charged, don’t throw your McDonald’s McGriddle bag out of the car window when your driving down the road and don’t throw your television remote at your television when Dick Cheney is on the screen.

shitandxmas046.jpg Now we are finding that you can even go further into going green, so much further than even Al Gore might want you to.

Behold how to wipe your hiney with one, yes I said ONE, square of toilet paper.

***crickets***

No seriously, there is a way brought to you from an Airborne Ranger who was a drill instructor.

As this is a family-friendly blog, all I’m going to say is that you have to tear a hole in the middle of your one tiny, itty-bitty square.

I’m rethinking my commitment to live green.

Read the rest at Felonious Ramblings.

It’s … ummm … interesting.

    Unusual Independence Day Celebrations

    Posted 7/03/2009 4:44 pm by Ron Hogan

    Tomorrow is the biggest celebration of the American summer.  Fourth of July, Independence Day, is one of my favorite holidays of the year.  To me, it means burgers, barbeque, and fireworks with the family.  To other people, it means salmon, shooting old computers, and the return of mimes.  No, I’m not kidding; you can read […]

    Formerly Fat Monkeys Line Up For Plastic Surgery

    Posted 6/30/2009 2:55 pm by Ron Hogan

    The famous fat monkeys at an animal park in Osaka, Japan have been discussed at PopFi before.  Well, those same pudgy primates are back in the news as those monkeys have dieted successfully!  Good for them!  The fattest of the monkeys has lost half his body weight, but with any weight loss that dramatic comes […]

    Blue For Billy

    Posted 6/29/2009 1:02 pm by Ron Hogan

    I have to admit that I’ve got a real soft spot for the work of recently deceased commercial pitchman Billy Mays.  Yes, he was loud.  Very loud.  Yes, he was often pretty grating and when I dozed in front of the TV on Sunday afternoons, his informercials (I called them Screamavision) always woke me up.  […]

    Teenage Baby, Or The Girl Who Does Not Age

    Posted 6/24/2009 1:31 pm by Ron Hogan

    We’ve covered a lot of unusual medical issues here at PopFi, but I’ve never seen anything quite as unusual as the case of Brooke Greenberg.   Brooke is a 16-year-old girl, but she’s not your typical 16-year-old girl.  She’s only 30 inches long, weighs about 16 pounds, and has the mind of a toddler.  Quite […]

    Underground Lair Dedicated To Mad Science

    Posted 6/24/2009 11:19 am by Ron Hogan

    Researching dark matter requires quite a bit of labor.  Any little flicker or radiation can throw off the readings and make hundreds of hours of experimentation useless.  That’s why the city of Homestake, South Dakota, is planning to turn an old goldmine into the world’s deepest laboratory, dedicated to the Large Underground Xenon (or LUX) […]

    If your 15-year-old daughter sent 400 texts a day and averaged over 12,000 texts in a month, as a parent you might be concerned.  Is all that texting bad for her thumbs?  Is she paying attention in school?  How do you monitor almost 300 pages of text messages stuffed in the phone bill box?  All […]

    The HMS I Hate Brussels Sprouts

    Posted 6/16/2009 2:51 pm by Ron Hogan

    Lots of people dislike a lot of weird things.  For example, former President George H. W. Bush was notorious for his dislike of broccoli.  I love broccoli, but I cannot stand anything other than the mildest, whitest, blandest cheese, and then only on pizza.  No cheese on tacos, no cheeseburgers, and definitely no nacho hats.  […]

    High School Baseball Is Serious Business

    Posted 6/15/2009 12:36 pm by Ron Hogan

    We’ve all seen videos of baseball managers who flip out, start screaming and kicking dirt and throwing bases, and eventually the umpires will toss them out. They’re a favorite baseball moment of mine, because it’s always very funny when the props come out to play. However, we see those all the time, so […]

    The Delicious And Stylish Nacho Hat

    Posted 6/12/2009 12:50 pm by Ron Hogan

     
    One of my favorite episodes of The Simpsons involved Homer and Ned Flanders becoming friends.  The two neighbors/enemies (well, Homer hates Ned, not the other way around) bonded by going to a baseball game.  While there, Flanders bought Homer food and drinks, caught him a ball, and basically bent over backwards to be polite and […]

    Fishing For Explosives

    Posted 6/10/2009 12:48 pm by Ron Hogan

    Commercial fisherman Rodney Salomon-Prudo from Madeira Beach, Florida, had a pretty good fishing trip last week.  In his 14 days at sea, he brought in over 5000 pounds of grouper.  Oh yeah, he also caught a surface-to-air missile.  Actually, he caught two, but he only brought one back with him.  The one he brought back […]

    The World’s Most Popular Car

    It’s the most popular car in the United States.  Since it was introduced in 1979, the hot little red sports car has sold over 10 million units.  In 2008, it sold more than the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord combined.  It’s also made entirely of plastic, seats one person under 3, and uses Flintstones-style foot […]

    An Interview With George Gaspar, The Toothpick Beard Man

    Are you ready for your daily dose of zombies?  The Boston Police Department has a Twitter feed.  Apparently, they also have a deadpan sense of humor, as evidenced by their response to Will Cady’s question about a potential zombie outbreak in Massachusetts.  Hehehe, I love things like this; when an organization or company I assume […]

    Get Paid To Not Work

    Posted 6/03/2009 1:54 pm by Ron Hogan

    What would you do if your employer was giving you up to five years off?  In a unique way of cutting costs, Spain’s second-largest bank, BBVA, is asking employees just that question.  Before you think they’re just handing out furloughs, keep in mind that BBVA is paying its employees not to work.  Those who take […]
