Next Time on WOTE: Natalie Portman and her Strange Attraction to Pompous, Overeducated, Underemployed Bloggers

Homunculus blogs and the world follows.

To wit --


July 18, 2008: I discuss -- I mention -- the WBNA for the first time in my life.

Four days later: The biggest event in the history of the league takes place; hockey moms and Joes-six-pack learn what WNBA actually stands for.

Coincidence? Possibly.


Beginning of August: Homunculus visits a friend in Denmark for a week.

The weekend I return: Major stories about Denmark appear in not one, but two of America's finest newspapers.

Coincidence? Unlikely.


Sept. 3, 2008: Homunculus becomes the first blogger in history to devote an entire entry to the Saguaro cactus.

And today: The Times reports on a disturbing new trend in Arizona: Saguaro cactus theft.

Coincidence? Not hardly.


I shall henceforth be known as Homunculus J. Delphic, the Vatic Oracle of the Blogosphere.

WOTE’s (as-Fun-as-a-Fact-Can-Be) Fact of the Day*

The stem of a single Saguaro cactus plant can retain up to five tons (5 tons!) of water.
