Zotz! is a 1947 novel by Walter Karig and a 1962 movie, produced and directed by William Castle. Ancient Eastern languages professor Jonathan Jones (Tom Poston) finds a magic amulet. Jones obtains powers to cause pain or slow movement, and even kill! Jones realizes that when he points at another living creature, it causes a great pain. Jones tries to give his finding to the Department of Defense. But he is taken as a madman. Then the Soviet Union gets interested and the adventures begin. The film can be seen on YouTube in 9 segments of about 10 minutes each. It's a fun, zany little film with a bunch of laughs. As always, the film does not end as the book does, I personally prefer to the satirical ending in the book. And they don't pronounce Zotz correctly, it should be said with a long O, not a short o!

Found a great coffee shop! If you live near Williston, ND or ever travel there, you must go to The Coffee Post! They have such good service with a big smile and a thank you. The coffee that I wanted was a chocolate mint thing that Caribou makes and was not on The Coffee Post's menu. They made it for me anyway and it was great! They are located in the True Value parking lot right across the street from Applebee's in Williston, ND.

"The Fatal Current"Here is a neat movie that shows how the misuse of electricity can be fatal. Ben Franklin is busy cleaning his dishes as he is making breakfast. Unknown to him, his toaster has a bad cord and has energized the metal housing of his toaster, at least I hope he did not know about it, he should have known better to get it fixed. Being the efficient founding father and inventor, he reaches over to get the toast and touches the energized housing. This is a fatal error because the plumbing is bonded and grounded to the neutral side of his service. Since the toaster did not have a ground plug and the metal housing of the toaster was not grounded to that plug, Ben has now become the grounding source for the electricity to return. You think Mr. Franklin would have known better to have his receptacles GFI protected in the kitchen! The current flows through his body, right through the heart and that is the end of a great founding father. I want to give my thanks to Code Check, where I found this movie and Paddy Morrissey, their illustrator, for allowing me to display this movie. Code Check is a company that authors code manuals and teaches code seminars in an entertaining and knowledgable way. Paddy Morrissey is a comedian, actor, writer, graphic designer and all-around jack-of-all-trades.

Livermore's Centennial LightLongest Burning Light Bulb In HistoryThis site is devoted to the longest burning light bulb in history at the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department in Livermore, CA. First installed at the fire department hose cart house on L Street in 1901. Shortly after, it moved to the main firehouse on Second. In 1903, it was moved to the new Station 1 on First and McLeod, and survived the renovation of the Firehouse in 1937, when it was off for about a week. During it's first 75 years it was connected directly to the 110 Volt power line, and not to the back-up generator for fear of a power surge. In 1976, it was moved with a full police and fire truck escort, under the watch of Captain Kirby Slate, to its present site in 1976 at Fire Station 6, 4550 East Ave., Livermore, California. It was then hooked to a seperate power source at 120V according to Frank Maul, Retired City Electrician, with no interuptions since. Click on the picture to go to the site. |
