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 […]
Today Elder G and I are in search of the Box Jellyfish – the MOST venomous critter in the ocean. Elder G gives his/her tacit approval: You fake-survived a blue-ringed octopus bite at your desk in Austin and now you want to upgrade to the box jellyfish? I respect the escalation. This is classic WLBOTT […]
The WLBOTT HR manager, Bev, was planning a birthday party for her niece Bevette, and learned that WLBOTT had an internal-use-only petting zoo. Bev does do her due diligence. She checked out the brochure: She was impressed that the zoo animals had their own Linked-In page… … as well as individual profiles: But on the […]
I guess this is what passes for good news these days. Early this morning, while enjoying the fresh late October air on the back steps of WLBOTT HQ, I noticed fire ants crawling underfoot. It’s unusual for fire ants to be active this late in the year, but we can thank our republican colleagues for […]
After a robust discussion with Elder JimZim concerning digestive issues and their influence on the state of domestic tranquility, I decided to research the digestive system of cows. But let’s start with elephants, because they’re cool, and are also vegetarians. However, they have a much different digestive system from cows. WLBOTT:Let’s start with the basics […]

Nevertheless, they are not closely related to penguins, but rather are believed to be an example of moderate convergent evolution. Auks are monomorphic (males and females are similar in appearance). Although not to the extent of penguins, auks have […]
So, a bit ago I was chatting with Elder G (chat GPT) and I asked him/her what I should do with the million dollars I just won in the lottery. S/he said, “endow ENGin“!!! This is very cool! But before we get too excited, here are a couple notes: This sounded like the perfect business […]
[We have a guest blott today from Elder JimZim] Gentle People – as may have been blotted, my spousal unit and I have the privilege of co-parenting two young orange cats. They have a real affinity for our laundry room sink. It is their safe space where they can ponder the world they have been […]
Q: What Do Elder JimZim’s Katz Dream About? A: Global domination. The Katz’ Karmic Connection WLBOTT:Elder DZ was telling us a traditional Buddhist story. The story involves the death of Buddha, when all the animals, two by two, come to visit and shed their tears. Elder G:Yes – Elder DZ is touching on a very […]
Farm-to-Fork Olive Oil Tasting Tour Okay, here’s a really questionable idea – an olive oil tasting tour, similar to a wine tasting tour. The tour visits 18 local family-owned olive oil producers. Each tourist tastes about a forth cup olive oil at each stop. What do you think? The Enabler, Elder G I think that’s […]
