Kids Say The Darndest Things!

It’s Kiddie Thursday.

Boy, do kids say the darndest things!

Today, we’re sharing some of the funniest / outrageous / memorable things that our kids, nieces, nephews have said that have got us either laughing for days or wondering… where the heck did they get that from?

How about those funny little things that mum said YOU did as a tot?

Ok... so it may not be something that was said, but funny little acts such as wearing mummy's shoe, make up or sunglasses. Get the picture?

Speaking of pictures, if you have photos of such a moment we'll love to see them too!

Happy hunting!

Here are a couple of videos to get those stories coming:

All Around The World

Ok Hunters, pack your bags and get ready to take a trip. Where are we going? To your favorite places around the world.

People travel for many reasons: family vacations, spring break, humanitarian relief, study abroad, and business travel. But regardless of the reason, every travel experience offers us new perspectives on the world. The best trips can even inspire us to make changes in our own lives.

We want to see the world through your eyes. Send us pictures of the places you love around the world, and your top destinations for a future trip. We are based in NYC, so if you live out of the NYC metro area, you can upload a picture of your neighborhood.

Here are my pictures. First is the famous Eifle Tower, a picture I took on my last visit to Paris, my favorite place. The second is my Sudoku book, I would love to visit Japan soon.

Update: We received some pictures. The first is from Carlton, who wants to visit Egypt and Karen would love to visit Greece.

Spring (Training) is in The Air!

With the arrival of March it won't be long now until the warm weather returns and spring is in full swing. While there is still snow on the ground here in New York City, down south professional baseball players have arrived at their respective camps to prepare for the upcoming season.

Here in New York optimism again reins as the Yankees begin their quest for a 28th World Series title and their second in a row. Personally I am a baseball fanatic. I live for the game and await opening day from the last out of the World Series.

Today's Scavenger Hunt Item is to submit a picture of your favorite Major League Baseball Stadium. Be creative, it can be yourself at a game or just a photo of your favorite team's park!

To get things started, here is a photo I took when I was lucky enough to get tickets for Game 1 of the 2009 World Series at Yankees Stadium:

Jay Z, the Masons, Satan plotting to take over the world?

Typically I'm not a person who gets into conspiracy theories, but I couldn't help but be intrigued the other day when I came across this video on YouTube called the Jay-Z deception.
The video's author, some guy who calls himself the forerunner, basically said that Jay Z is one of many celebrities who are actually members of an elite fraternity called the FreeMasons, who all worship the devil and are plotting to enslave mankind.
Rediculous, right? That's what I thought too. But I'm an open-minded Jay-Z fan who's curious to a fault, so I kept watching and there was enough going on in this guy's analysis to raise an eyebrow. (Pardon the pun)
The guy made a lot of points, but the most intriguing thing I noticed was Jay-Z habitual use of Masonic symbols in photos and music videos, particularly the Masonic triangle and/or all-seeing eye.

During the filming of the making of his video for "Run This Town," which features Riyanna and Kanye West, he also wore this hoody that said do what thou wilt, which was a creed of Aleister Crowley, a famous occultist who lived from 1875-1947, who according to some is the founder of Satanism. He's the weird guy in the picture above wearing the pyramid thing on his head.

Anyway, what does this have to do with the scavenger hunt? Well, after I watched this video, I started watching Jay-Z's videos from the BluePrint III, and there was a lot of weird stuff, but the weirdest video of all was Jay-Z's "One To The Next One." WTF!!???!

Devil worship and Masonry aside, this was the weirdest rap video I've ever seen easily. But then I found this YouTube video that broke it down and showed it has a lot of Masonic images in it.

According to the conspiracy theory, the most elite Masons are made up of the most elite, successful people in the world, including Bill Gates, George Washington, Barack Obama, George Bush, and Benjamin Franklin among others and they're plotting to take over the world or something. I'm not convinced about that yet, but I am convinced Jay-Z 's video is weird.

So for today's scavenger hunt, find some famous people who are or were Masons and post pictures of them on this blog. Let's see how many we can find. Also, what do you think is the weirdest music video of all time? Post them on this blog if you can. Good luck.
