Welcome to my World of Wonderment

Our planet is a neat place, full of weird and unusual people doing weird and unusual things. One oddball thing I like to do is geocache. What other activity is there that makes people travel hundreds of miles to climb a mountain, wade a river, and fight a Bigfoot, just to be the first person to sign a piece of paper rolled up in a 35mm film canister stuffed in the knot hole of a tree? I can't think of any other sport that has such a great mix of technology and the wonderful outdoors. A lot of geocaches are placed in a beautiful setting, or hidden in a challenging or unique way, or in a historical setting. Geocaching allows the finder to share in some of the hiders favorite places, and along the way you get to meet some interesting characters, and occasionally learn something new. While this blog is primarily a geocaching blog, I also use this place to post the occasional funny video or weird news story, or as a platform to rant or rave about something I really have to share. But for the most part this website is about you, the weirdo walking around in circles, talking into your GPS unit like it's a phone, pretending your taking pictures of a phone booth to find find the tiniest micro-cache, or circling your car around and around a light pole in a parking lot trying to retrieve a cache without even getting out of your car.

Kidnapped Catholic Cracker Concerns Church

This sounds like something from the Onion but it's not. The Catholic Church is upset that a parishioner stole a cracker, and they are demanding it back.


"We don't know 100% what Mr. Cooks motivation was," said
Susan Fani a spokesperson with the local Catholic diocese. "However, if
anything were to qualify as a hate crime, to us this seems like this
might be it."



We just expect the University to take this seriously," she added "To
send a message to not just Mr. Cook but the whole community that this
kind of really complete sacrilege will not be tolerated."



What's even crazier is the guy is getting death threats from concerned catholics. Read more of this at Pharyngula
