Useless Knowledge Isn't Really Worthless

By Stan Grimes
Sept. 5, 2005

Looking for a good time? Try Useless Knowledge. This week only, all the words you can digest for a mere giggle. I am seeing more and more new columnists on this sight, which is terrific. It is good to see more writers taking an interest in the world around them and offering a plethora of new ideas and new takes on life as they see it.

It is also good to see topics straying away from the old religious bantering and Rightwing-versus-Leftwing volleying; although, those subjects will always surface as long as there thinking humans in existence. I must admit I am guilty of scratching those itches occasionally. I just can’t help myself sometimes. And, damn it, I still laugh at Robert Paul Reyes’s articles on Jerry Falwell and Greta Van Susteren. They’re just funny.

Judy Ramsook, Dr. Mick, Tim Stelly, Argile Stox, Kaycee Nilson, and Michelle Malsbury (who doesn’t write enough in my opinion) are authors I try to visit frequently. Titles always draw my attention. For example: Reyes’s article on a Greta Van Susteren going naked drew my attention like a firecracker in a funeral home. Useless-Knowledge is actually a very deceptive name for this magazine. Most of the articles I read are anything but useless. In fact, every columnist listed on this site has something important to say. Perhaps, the reader will disagree, but a writer’s opinions, right or wrong are important to her or him.

I have been trying to think of an article on Paris Hilton (since she’s on top of the heap at Lycos’s top 50. I just can’t identify with a young blonde rich girl. If I were thirty again, maybe I could see her in a different light (preferably dark). Is my wife reading this? No, she’s watching our granddaughter. Wait a minute; I’m watching our granddaughter. “Honey, are you upstairs reading Useless-Knowledge?” Thank gawd, she’s out working on the car. “Hey, honey, how about dinner?” I can’t get that woman to do any of this domestic crap.

In closing, I leave you a joke my wife can appreciate. I hope you do too.

First man: My wife suggested that I take up a new sport this summer.

Second man: Well, that's nice. It shows that she has your interests at heart. Did she make any suggestions?

First man: As a matter of fact, she did. By the way, how do you play this Russian Roulette?
