Telephone + Cell Phone = Cellaphone
It’s completely logical in a 3 year old mind.
Evren got in a fight with a little girl at the drop-off daycare who INSISTED on calling it a ‘telephone’ when, according to Evren, the correct pronunciation is cellaphone. Apparently, I arrived just in time to pick him up…words were being exchanged and had I been 5 more minutes, there might’ve been a throw down.
Evren believes when he’s right, he’s right.
Over at Energy Fiend they have a comprehensive table that shows exactly how much caffeine is in your favorite drinks. They also have one for food and they have other “fun” stuff too – like a calculator to determine exactly how much of your favorite caffeinated beverage you would have to consume before you die. I’m just saying, it’s good information to know. Heh.
Here’s a short list of caffeine levels from that table – all drinks 8 oz. for comparison purposes.
Coca-Cola, 23 mg
Coffee (Brewed), 107.5 mg
Dr. Pepper, 27 mg
Tea (Brewed), 47 mg
Tea (Green), 15 mg

I read this story and my exact thought was “Man, that is totally kick-ass.” My internal dialogue is not very classy or sophisticated. But I think you’ll have a similar thought after reading it. I’ve copied it exactly from the original source, Saturday Tribune, which seems to be an online Nigerian newspaper.
A fast-thinking pilot, with the help of passengers, fooled a gunman who had hijacked a jetliner flying from Africa to the Canary Islands, braking hard upon landing then quickly accelerating to knock the man down so travellers could pounce on him, Spanish officials said Friday.
A lone gunman brandishing two pistols hijacked the Air Mauritania Boeing 737, carrying 71 passengers and a crew of eight, Thursday evening shortly after it took off from the Mauritanian capital of Nouakchott for Gran Canaria, one of Spain’s Canary Islands, with a planned stopover in Nouadhibou in northern Mauritania.
Speaking to the gunman during the hijacking, the pilot realized the man did not speak French. So he used the plane’s public address system to warn the passengers in French of the ploy he was going to try: brake hard upon landing, then speed up abruptly. The idea was to catch the hijacker off balance, and have crew members and men sitting in the front rows of the plane jump on him, the Spanish official said.
The pilot also warned women and children to move to the back of the plane in preparation for the subterfuge, the official said.
It worked. The man was standing in the middle aisle when the pilot carried out his maneuver, and he fell to the floor, dropping one of his two 7mm pistols. Flight attendants then threw boiling water from a coffee machine in his face and at his chest, and some 10 people jumped on the man and beat him, the Spanish official said.

If you are like me and tend to stay away from any beverages with calories, then fruity drinks are not high on your list. BUT, check out what I found at SuperTarget the other day that is yumyummy…
I love me some Limeade and this will do it for ya without all the calories.
Dave, not one word about the high fructose corn syrup and aspartame. For 15 calories a glass I will happily ignore the ingredients list.
Oh, Look. Look what arrived for me in the mail today…
From who you ask?
From the best mom in the world! She’s crazy – but the kind of crazy I like!! It’s ok to be jealous (of my cupcake courier or the mom that I have). She IS the best.
Thanks MOM!! I Love Love Love it.
(I think I scared the UPS guy just a little when I flung open the door and ran out to greet him.)
