We’ve long been fascinated by the life and times of J. S. Bach. Imagine living in the late 17th century Europe. I don’t want to minimize the suffering of the majority of people living today – in many ways their lives are worse that those living in Bach’s time. But for now let’s focus our […]
Things were looking pretty down here at WLBOTT HQ. Our beloved country is being turned into a drunken magaT casino hellscape while one of the vilest predators imaginable is on the verge of leading us into a forever war. So we decided to cheer ourselves up by looking at the ultimate Heat Death of the […]
Long before dinosaurs, before forests, even before WLBOTT instituted its Work/Life Balance program, there was The Meteorite. This is before Estonia was even in the northern hemisphere! By the way, during the neolithic era, Estonia was known simply as “Stonia”. It wasn’t until the tech boom of the late ’90s that the country became known […]
One of the first questions asked by the WLBOTT Elders is: Will There Be a Buffet? To satisfy this buffet desire, and in honor of our series on ancient Estonia, we created Ordovician Day at the WLBOTT Ladle & Lube. These are delicacies that would have been available at the time of the Kärdla Meteor […]
Should we dance, should we? I woke up in a grumpy mood, then just now, between welcome rain storms, I sat on the back step and listened to the birds. One bird call sounded just like “Should we dance, should we?” over and over. Interesting that the question is “Should we dance?” and not “Shall […]
Connecting the Bagpipe Dots Recently at WLBOTT HQ, the pipes, the pipes were calling. We tasked the research department with exploring the history of the bagpipe, and, being unpaid and of short attention spans, they entered into a somewhat convoluted rabbit hole that led us to isostatic uplifts, ancient meteors, a Mesopotamian Sun God, a […]
This past Saturday we held the Spring 2026 Radish Harvest. The weather was mild, the radishes were plump, and our team of harvesters was enthusiastic. The Helper-Chickens can identify the radishes at the peak of tubular plumpness. A good rinsing before bringing the radishes into the WLBOTT Test Kitchen. Post-Harvest Preparations Waggie Logos? We are […]
At WLBOTT, we recognize our employee’s sometimes intense personal relationships with their radishes. As part of our work/life balance, we encourage our employees to share their feelings. This includes our annual “Bring Your Radishes to Work” day. The Nuts and Bolts The radish (Raphanus sativus or Raphanus raphanistrum subsp. sativus) is a flowering plant in […]
The WLBOTT Extension Service’s spring garden is doing well. Go Waggies! The radishes are the first crop to be harvested. Our top-notch agronomists have determined the commencement of the radish harvest season. Fred, our penitent intern, enthusiastically joined in the harvest, as our pep squad cheered him on. Go Waggies! We celebrate the harvest with […]
It’s been a busy few weeks at the WLBOTT Agricultural Extension Service (Go Waggies!). In addition to our usual duties that include repairs to the manure spreader, seed selections, and debates over crop rotation (“i before e except after c” gives us guidance: Idaho potatoes, Eggplant, Cucamelon[1]), we were wondering if it’s time to utilize […]
