The Hollies sang about the symbiotic relationship between humans and plants. What? You didn’t know that? Well, then you obviously never heard them sing, “All I need is the air that I breathe” in one of their hit songs. Sorry you missed it. Nice song with great harmonies. “What’s that? You don’t understand how that’s symbiotic?” OK, here’s the bare … The rest of the story…

I’m a big fan of a popular singer named Nilsson. Well, he’s a former popular singer because he’s no longer with us here on terra firma. Anyway. Nilsson (aka: Harry Nilsson) understood that independence is an illusion. And he sang about that in one of my favorite songs of his. It was called “Without You.” And the main line said, … The rest of the story…
Yeah, it’s true. Real scientists actually do still exist. But there are so many others I describe as “so-called scientists” that you won’t typically find the real ones on TV or radio. Thank goodness we have the internet for the real scientists. Because, over the past couple of decades, real scientists have been working on the genetic code in humans. … The rest of the story…
A long time ago isn’t worthy to be compared to a long time to come. Unless your future depends on you. Ok. I should probably explain that. Because, on the surface, it might sound like philosophical silliness. And I certainly don’t wanna sound silly, except for the times I’m being silly on purpose. Can you imagine the hopeless feeling a person … The rest of the story…
It’s truly your lucky day! Because, even though I didn’t think I’d ever share this secret again, I’m gonna show you the main ingredients you need in order to be master of the universe. And despite what you might have thought, up until this moment… You are NOT already the master of the universe. But I’m here for you. You’re … The rest of the story…
Elgielene and I buy frozen blueberries. And we don’t thaw them out. Just thought I’d share that with you. Ha! No, I brought it up for a reason. And not because she says the frozen blueberries are like tiny, round popsicles. I mentioned them because they remind me of a frozen embryo story I wrote about. You know a frozen … The rest of the story…
Let’s say, for the sake of starting a conversation about it, that you’re out in your back yard with kids. And let’s say, for the sake of setting up this little scenario a little more clearly, that a flower garden is there. Now, that’s what I’d call a blessed and beautiful opportunity. And it’s a beautiful opportunity for a couple … The rest of the story…
Have you ever made a rock? And how about a stick? Have you ever made one of those? Well, what about a drop of water? Surely you’ve at least made a drop of water in your life. And surely, somewhere, there’s a school science class where that has happened. Naturally, I don’t expect anyone to create a river. But surely … The rest of the story…
OK, I’m gonna get a little too sciencey for the kids right now. And I’m share some info I found about the backbone of DNA. And I think it’s interesting because we all have DNA. So, it’s kinda cool to know a little bit about it. Here’s what one article said: “A phosphate backbone is the portion of the DNA … The rest of the story…
Feelings change. It’s a fact of life. That was even true when I was a young whippersnapper, all those decades ago. I remember the first time I felt like I was in love with a girl. But, later, I felt like I was in love with another girl. It happened several times. What can I say? A red-blooded American boy … The rest of the story…
A Strawberry Moon? But where’s the strawberry? Oh great. Now, I’m craving some cold strawberry pie. Maybe I shouldn’t even have brought this up. So, why DID I bring up a strawberry moon? Because the strawberry moon is the full moon in June. And that rhymes rather nicely. According to the Almanac, Algonquin tribes, that inhabited northeastern America, used the … The rest of the story…
Just for grins, here at the Funderbungalow, we watched the sequel to a shark movie. No, not Jaws 3D. This one was Meg 2. It came out last year, and it’s the sequel to The Meg. And the reason we enjoyed those movies is because of how totally believable the whole storyline is. And that’s probably because of the star … The rest of the story…
And should you trust your gut? Search the internet and you’ll find plenty of books and articles about the power of intuition. Some say it’s real. Some say it isn’t. Others say it’s psychological. And still others say the research is up for grabs. But one thing’s for sure. The power of intuition isn’t in your actual gut. I’m sure … The rest of the story…
Why, in the name of godzilla, would you ever want to identify with a lower creature? Why would you ever, ever, ever want, or claim to have, a lizard brain? And how would that ever help you tune in to your limbic arc? Or help you maintain balance in your emotional vectoring? Not to mention (but I will) your energetic … The rest of the story…
Guy walks up to the bar and orders, “Gimme a Helix, bartender. And make it a double.” I know you’ve heard of the Double Helix. It packs a powerful punch. But there’s no hangover the next morning. Maybe that’s because it’s filled with Deoxyribonucleic Acid. “Yeah! Don’t be stingy with the Deoxyribonucleic Acid in my Double Helix, bartender!” That’s such … The rest of the story…
I saw a silly question this morning. And I’m sure you’ve seen one like it at least once or twice. It said, “‘Mass Extinction: What Happened 65 Million Years Ago?” Of course, the correct answer is “Nothing.” Well, another correct answer would be, “Ask God. He was the only one around.” But nothing on Earth happened 65 million years ago. … The rest of the story…
Information inside your cells determined whether you’d have brown or blue or green eyes. And it determined whether you’d have black or brown or blonde hair. AND whether you’d be a boy or a girl (Those are the only choices, by the way). Take a trillion trails of that information, see where it goes, and I believe you’ll come to … The rest of the story…
Imagine that you could speak words and a planet would appear. Then you speak more words and the sun and moon pop in. Then, a few more words and all the birds, dinosaurs, fishes, horses, dogs, lions, and every other creature appear. Now, imagine you could stretch out your hands and create all the shining stars in the universe. Yes, … The rest of the story…
I’ve seen some quotes, from professors to poets, who put today’s solar eclipse in its proper perspective. In one way or another they say what’ll happen is you’ll be “standing the shadow of the moon.” Sure, some interesting things can happen in the shadow of the moon. Temperatures drop. And crickets start chirping. And people in the “path of totality” … The rest of the story…
What gives you goosebumps when you just think about it? Or is there anything that does that? I’ll tell you something that gives me goosebumps like that. And I dreamed about it recently. And I don’t tend to remember dreams very often. But this one was a blast. But, before I tell you what it was, I’ll share what a … The rest of the story…
