Fact Friday

I’m feeling Cliff Claven-ish today…so…

It’s a little known fact that the whip was the first man-made device capable of breaking the sound barrier.  True.  Its tip travels faster than the speed of sound.  That cracking sound you hear is also a sonic boom.

I thought about getting a whip – I believe that famous Ohioan Annie Oakley was a mean whip-snapper.  What a cool thing to play with out on the back deck – would certainly get the neighbors attention.  Oh I know there are other uses…let’s not go there kids.

What else can we do with a whip….Oh remember  that wonderfully-talented (dripping sarcasm) musical group Devo with their flowerpot hats singing Whip It back around 1980 or so?  That was talent.  Then there’s EmmaLou, Golden Destroyer’s favorite….Whipped Cream in a Can.  And Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones used a bull whip.  mmm mmm

Some might say Devoted Spouse is whipped…but in a good way — coz he worked too hard yesterday.

I dunno…think that’s about all I can whip up today….sigh.

With my luck I’d crack the whip and the tip would come back and put out an eye.  I know me…sigh…
