Welcome to Wednesday Wow, an irregular series appearing from time to time when I want to write about something that made me say, “Wow!” Or which made me say, “Weird!” Or, “Wonderful!” Or possibly even, “Wild!!”
There may also be posts about Widgets, Whirligigs, Wiccans, Waffles, Wallpaper, Whimsy, Wisdom, Wit, Weather, Wind, Winter, Wushu, Wackos, Whatnots, Wherefores or Whatever.
But not about Women, Wenches or Wahines; they’re too special to be limited to a day, even though they often make me say, “Wow! Wonderful!”
Nor will it be about Work, War or Woodlands. Also, no Whining, Whipping, Whispers, Whistling, Windows, Wine or Whiskey. And I’ll try to not be Wanton, Wonky, Whistful or Worrisome. I can’t guarantee I won’t wander into being a Wry Wiseass. And I hope my Words won’t be Wrong, Wasted or a Wreck.
Wow, Weird & Wild
This Wednesday’s Wow (and the idea for this series) comes from being wowed by the advances in robot dogs! If a picture is Worth a thousand Words, then video must be Worth a Wealth of them.
Without further ado:
Wow! Eerie!!
Weather
When I got up this morning and looked out the window, I saw a flock of geese in the ‘V’ formation headed south. Another sign of Winter!
(Would have been really cool if they had been in a ‘W’ formation!)
A Joke About Wells
Do you know the one about the country doctor who made a house call to a sick patient?
After he had cared for his patient and was leaving, he was thirsty, so he stopped at the well outside the house for a drink of cool well water. Unfortunately, it was dark at this point, and there was no moon, so the doctor slipped and fell into the well, breaking bones and nearly drowning in the process.
Which just goes to show.
Doctors should attend the sick and leave the well alone!
Have a wonderful, wild, weird, wow of a Wednesday!

So if someone has to scoop up behind the robot dog, would it be old parts or just the last bit of our humanity? Cool, but also slightly creepy….

I know, right?! The part that I found most weird was seeing them from the front with the scanners rotating back and forth. Made me think of all those movies with killer robots… 😯

very science fictiony – what in the world will be their purpose? seeing eye dog? Send them to Mars to scope things out? Will they carry bombs and walk to the blow up site?

As I understand it, one of their first missions will be as pack animals for the military. Unlike real animals, they don’t “spook” when hearing gun fire or explosions. Or go chasing other dogs in heat.
At first, I didn’t realize how big they are… more like mules or oxen than dogs!

Oh I didn’t realize they were that big either!
September 12th, 2012 at 6:51 pm
Yeah… kind of… scary-sized!

I am much too fond of pun jokes – so of course loved yours.

Thank you! I’m an unabashed lover of them myself. Just last night my buddy and I were talking about how good my favorite it, the double punning, “Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.” 😆
In my files, I found another good one (well, another longish one, anyway) that I’ll post as soon as I find an excuse. (Not that I need much of one! 😈 )

So I have a pee blog and you have a wee one? Copycat! 😉
You gonna write about Wee Willy Wonky?
September 13th, 2012 at 4:49 pm
pardon, Wonka.
September 13th, 2012 at 11:19 pm
I like your version better. I never liked Willy Wonka… Seemed like a right wonky bastard to me!
September 13th, 2012 at 11:18 pm
Well, you know how it is… monkey see, monkey do! 🙂
September 14th, 2012 at 1:53 pm
Yeah yeah, I know… We’re monkeys, a little too smart!
