Werner Von Braun.  Wasn’t he the missile guy?

...Call him a Nazi, he won’t even frown,
“Ha, Nazi, Schmazi,” says Wernher von Braun...
-Tom Lehrer

That is a great commercial. (sniff!) Excuse me, something in my eye here…

Werner Von Braun.  Wasn’t he the missile guy?

Yep.

His arrival from Germany was the genesis of the US missile and space programs. He built Redstone Arsenal here, then came Nasa, yadda yadda.... My town’s civic center is the Von Braun Civic Center, if that tells you anything. We have rockets and space shuttles as municiple decor.

His house is about a block from me.

Interesting.  However, I don’t 100% agree with that.  I do think there’s something out there ‘beyond us’, we just have no way of knowing what it is ....

You scored as Materialist. Materialism stresses the essence of fundamental particles. Everything that exists is purely physical matter and there is no special force that holds life together. You believe that anything can be explained by breaking it up into its pieces. i.e. the big picture can be understood by its smaller elements.

So being a Christian I could look at the idea that I don’t like organized religion in the idea of how society defines organized religion.  Or more clearly I don’t think the way Christianity is organized in this day and age is how it was ever meant to be, but I still follow my interpretation of it.  I was hoping that fundamentalist would be higher up, but whatever.

brandi:  This must mean I watch way too much History Channel?

Yes you do, Cindi!

Don’t be silly, you can never watch too much History Channel!! It’s the only thing I turn on the TV for…

Good to know I’m not alone.  The History Channel and South Park.  Not really sure what that says about me, but.... 

Used to also tune into TLC and the Discovery Channel, but for some idiotic reason they’ve become the all home improvement/all motorhead channels.  Feh.

I’m an Adult Swim and History Channel JUNKIE. You oughta see my Tivo, it’s embarrassing.

I can’t fall asleep without hearing the narrator from History Channel. But it has to be a boring/rerun episode. If it’s too interesting, it keeps me up.

brandi, I am the same way.  I have to have the History Channel on when I go to bed and it must be a rerun, or I’ll be up until it goes off-air at 4:00 a.m.  They’ve been doing the Civil War all week, which doesn’t interest my a whole lot, so that helps.

My daughter thinks I’m nuts.  I’ll have to point her to these posts.  Thanks!
