Jesus is a Bodybuilder

When I saw the big Jesus on the t shirt of a guy at the gym I thought to myself: he must be one of those hardcore Christians than everybody in the US has grown to accept. Still had a slightly WTF feeling, but you cannot really question the beliefs of a hardcore Christian, can [...]

The Catcher in the… Tulip Field ?!

Let me explain: Each of the tulip farms/tulip fields that we went to had [...]

30 Days

30 Days is a show created by Morgan Spurlock, the guy who made the Super Size Me documentary/self torture movie. The idea is that this guy, or somebody else, is adopting a different lifestyle for 30 days (for example living on minimum wage or trying anti aging ‘techniques’ or some other crazy thing). The problem [...]
