    He died at the age of 52 - the same number of cards in a standard deck.

    The middle of his life was 1900 - he lived 26 years before it and 26 years after it.

    See, now THAT was a way better reply than mine! You're a Tap fan?! Who knew?!

    He always claimed to have been born in Appleton, Wisconsin, to avoid the prejudice of his day attached to immigrants.

    He was really born in Hungary, however.

    I believe Appleton has a good Houdini museum, however.

  38. Where is that Pink Freudian person?

    Last I heard, she was in the middle of a very important conversation.

    ReplyDelete

  49. @Pi Guy: "Weiss" = "white"

    There were places in the Austro-Hungarian empire where, when compulsory family names were introduced for some minorities that didn't yet have them (e.g., Jews) they just named everybody "Gross" (big, tall), "Klein" (small, short), "Schwarz" (black, i.e., dark-haired), and "Weiss" (fair-haired), or perhaps "Roth" (red[-headed]).

    Those with lots of money bought "fancy" names :-)

    ReplyDelete

  51. littleoldlady said...

    ...whereas "Smith" is more strongly associated with "Black".

    Her song will go on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and... ugh

  59. Houdini was a Hungarian Jew, but it is unclear to me where he was born. He was, like most geniuses, devoted to his mother. No Houdini, no Copperfield, etc.

  61. Houdini was a Hungarian Jew, but it is unclear to me where he was born.

    Yes, I'm correct.

    No, you dont' have to look it up. I'm always right.

  62. FF,

    On my father's mother's side we're Davidoviches, and thanks to his cousin (z"l) I can track all the way back to David. (Dudya) Something like 11 generations from the youngest alive today.

    But...as it turns out...not her show.

    In the last year, all the ticket salesmen would tell you to buy the cheapest seats, and then move forward just before the show began. There was always plenty of room to move up.

    One member of my family, a few centuries back, was an illegitimate child of the Sun King - which, meant that I am a descendant of most of the royal families of Europe... tracing that back, one ancestor of mine is one of the brother's of St. Nicholas. So yeah, the blood of Santa flows through these veins.

    Then others also traced back into Israel, and back to David. We're like really distant distant distant cousins.

  81. So, to give you all an update on the new site - just a few tweaks to the commenting system, and I'll be ready to upload stuff tomorrow at some point, and do some final testing... Things are coming along nicely.

    Oh, and I have added a 'add to favorites' feature, and a 'daily links' feature, as well. So there.

  83. Were you able to add C2 Geek?

    No, but it will be there when you wake up. How's that? I'm done working for the night :)

    Promise not to laugh ... My father's (z"l) theory was the lost tribes went into Outer Space.

    I've heard more outlandish... Bt consider this - when my ancestor, Sky Woman, "fell", the world was covered with water. Maybe that was during the Flood? ;)

    ReplyDelete

  87. If you ever get a chance, check out the episode of Futurama called "The Honking".

    The plot centers around Bender (the robot) getting bitten a were-car, and so he becomes a murderous rampaging car whenever the moon is full, and he's trying to find a cure by locating the original were-car.

    The jokes fly fast and furious:

    -It starts in the capital of the Robo-Hungarian empire: Thermostadt

    -The original were-car is found in a building marked "Anti-Chrysler"

    -Calculon: "Actually, I was all of history's great acting robots - Acting Unit 1.0! Thespo-Mat! David Duchovny!"

    -A picture with moving eyes has the robot name "Commodore LXIV" (Commodore 64)

    -One robot's chestplate reads "Euro Trash 80"

    -Another were-car is identified as "The Red LeBaron"

  88. I read 35 years ago that we Anglo-Saxons were one of the Lost tribes. Never understood the argument.

    My guess is, if you guys had known where you were going, you wouldn't have gone to Britain. That could be it ;)

  90. That should be easy enough, Bare. I almost never wake up in the morning. : )

  91. Do you think the Normans were ever called Anglo-Saxophobes?

  92. Do you think the Normans were ever called Anglo-Saxophobes?

    Possibly. But I bet they had cool tunes on their Jute boxes.

    ReplyDelete

  93. So Bare, how common a name IS Malik Shabazz, anyway, do you suppose? How likely is it that a different one is on the White House visitor logs?

    I find that incredible. I don't believe it.

    ReplyDelete

  94. I heard that the German word for constipation is Fahrfrumpoopen. Can anyone confirm this?

    ReplyDelete

  95. Here's Jake Tapper on that story. Apparently it's a pretty common name?

    ReplyDelete

  96. So Bare, how common a name IS Malik Shabazz, anyway, do you suppose? How likely is it that a different one is on the White House visitor logs?

    I know. Unless, you know, it's like "John Smith" in homegrown pseudo-muslim revolutionary groups. The whole "These are not the names you are looking for" Jedi Mind Trick they are trying is lame.

    ReplyDelete

  97. I heard that the German word for constipation is Fahrfrumpoopen. Can anyone confirm this?

    Yes, and the word for "Virgin" is Gudentite.

  106. And now, one of the most classic and oldest Halloween monster tales:

    Beowulf ond Godsylla

    Meanehwæl, baccat meaddehæle, monstær lurccen;
    Fulle few too many drincce, hie luccen for fyht.
    Ðen Hreorfneorhtðhwr, son of Hrwærowþheororthwl,

    Eallum his bon brak, byt his nose offe;
    Wicced Godsylla wæld on his asse.
    Monstær moppe fleor wyþ eallum men in hælle.
    Beowulf in bacceroome fonecall bamaccen wæs;
    Hearen sond of ruccus sæd, "Hwæt ðe helle?"
    Graben sheold strang ond swich-blæd scharp
    Stond feorth to fyht ðe grimlic foe.
    "Me," Godsylla sæd, "mac ðe minsemete."
    Heoro cwyc geten heold wiþ fæmed half-nelson
    Ond flyng him lic frisbe bac to fen
    Beowulf belly up to meaddehæle bar,

  169. Mike Gerson in RealClearPolitics: Too small to lead.

    "There are many reasons why Obama, according to Gallup, has suffered the largest decline in approval, at this portion in his term, of any elected president since 1953 — and why more Americans believe in UFOs than approve of the job done by Congress. But one reason is surely the bitter, brittle tone of the new Democratic establishment — highlighted by the promise they have raised and disappointed. How did the tonal candidate become so tone-deaf?"

  172. Junior Samples: I think I'll turn in.

    Lulu: Turn into what?

    Junior: Grandpa, Did you hear what Lulu said?

    Grandpa Jones: No, what did she say?

    Junior: I said, I think I'll go to bed and she said, "go to bed, what?"

    It's, a Hee Haw thing.;) Good night everyone.

    Secret Mission to Rescue Yemen's Jews

    MONSEY, N.Y. -- In his new suburban American home, Shaker Yakub, a Yemeni Jew, folded a large scarf in half, wrapped it around his head and tucked in his spiraling side curls. "This is how I passed for a Muslim," said the 59-year-old father of seven, improvising a turban that hid his black skullcap.

    The ploy enabled Mr. Yakub and half a dozen members of his family to slip undetected out of their native town of Raida, Yemen, and travel to the capital 50 miles to the south. There, they met U.S. State Department officials conducting a clandestine operation to bring some of Yemen's last remaining Jews to America to escape rising anti-Semitic violence in his country.

    In all, about 60 Yemeni Jews have resettled in the U.S. since July; officials say another 100 could still come. There were an estimated 350 in Yemen before the operation began. Some of the remainder may go to Israel and some will stay behind, most in a government enclave

    This thread was buzzing a little earlier, so everything's a little backwards with what appears to be the "quiet time" at the end.

    HOW ARE YOU?! Haven't seen you much.

  183. I guess to be politically correct I must say that our bonfire tonight will be for the kids ... and not other stuff just in case "some" people are lurking ... so sick of having to feel like I need to make a disclaimer about every single thing ...

    Autumn comes ... sweet ... good listen ...

    We are just praying that Obama and his administration does not take it out too hard on small business ... and we are trying to keep positive ... but we will not be able to make it if some things happen ... so all snark aside ... I am "hoping" for the best ...
