No, it's not a UFO (or celebrity) sighting, despite the title. Okay, so for those of you who missed the eclipse last week (the last total lunar eclipse until 2010), YouTube user, Fishersofmenvideo, from Newfoundland, Canada, was kind enough to upload a video of the eclipse, speeded up X80, so you don't have to sit through ten minutes of footage. You can watch it here. (Made possible using YouTube's handy dandy embed feature)
Interestingly, he points out that in the Bible, book of Acts, chapter 2, verse 20, it says,"The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, Before the coming of that great and notable Day of the Lord." Now, the verse number 20 corresponds to the 20th day of the month, the chapter number 2 corresponds to February, the second month of the year. But what really got me is the fact that Acts is the 44th book in the Bible. Adding 4 plus 4, standard procedure in numerical coding, gives us 8, corresponding to 2008. I never thought of that. Hmm...gets you thinking, doesn't it?

Balled up hair, clogged drains, and plumbing problems, oh joy!
DISCLAIMER: by reading this, you agree that Parker Ginn and/or his family members are not responsible for any medical bills that may occur from vomiting, fainting, counseling for psychological problems or things of the sort that may arise from reading this blog entry, read at your own risk.
Just joking! It's not that gross, although those with weak stomachs may want to pass on this one. Okay, I'm writing about something that quite a few people I know will call revolting, nasty, and otherwise gross! So if you hate thinking about, oh, say, hair, bathrooms, and clogged shower drains, you might find this post offensive! :D Well, anyway...I was reading up on other people's blogs, and I found out that my mom's friend, Mrs. Kroeker, had written about runaway strands of hair, clogged drains, and how to stop them. (Olivia, Claire, are you listening?!?!) You can read it here, it's pretty funny, if talk about that kind of *stuff* doesn't make you gag...Also, you should read it or else none of this stuff will make sense. Well anyway, What? You're still reading? Okay, I would've taken a bet that you would've left the page by now! We only have two females who wear their hair long in this house, as opposed to the Kroeker's 4, but I think Olivia sheds enough hair to make up for it. (I mean, seriously, have you seen our bathroom sink/floor?!) And I've had to stick my hand down the drain on occasion to clear out the balled up hair that builds up there. Too bad I don't have a picture...You'll just have to imagine it, you know what, on second thought, don't. I wonder if Olivia and Claire would agree to doing this, because I really, really, don't like touching slimy, barf colored hair that looks like it got chewed up by a rat and stuck in the sewer. Its a quick-fix for the situation! But if they start leaving their hair on the shower wall, they're gonna get chewed out by the person who has to clean out the shower! (Yours truly)

Lunar Eclipse tonight!
Hi again!
In other news, there's going to be a total lunar eclipse tonight! Apparently, it'll be the last one until 2010, so if you've ever wanted to see one, here's your chance! It'll be visible to people in North and South America. People looking through telescopes will be able to see Saturn's rings, and the star, Regulus, the brightest in the constellation Leo. Here's an article about it for people living around Indianapolis. (You can just click on the link, you don't have to copy and paste anymore!)
http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080220/LOCAL/802200570
And here's the article for the rest of the nation, it has some info on what a lunar eclipse is and is a lot more interesting!

Lost...and Found! (Partly)
Remember that entry I posted a few days ago about those four paintings getting stolen from that museum in Zurich? (You can view it here, http://parkerginn.blogspot.com/2008/02/wow-its-sad-day-for-world-of-art.html)
Well, they found two of the paintings! Claude Monet's Poppy Field at Vetheuil, and Van Gogh's, Blooming Chesnut Branches, worth $64 million combined, were found in that back of a car just a couple hundred yards from the museum. The paintings were in perfect condition, thank goodness. The museum director and art experts have said that the robbery was done by people with no knowledge of art, the robbers probably took advantage of the low security museum without the knowledge of how hard it is to sell well known works. The Monet and Van Gogh paintings were likely abandoned because they were the largest of the stolen paintings, and were too bulky to be carried easily. Two other paintings remain missing. The most valuable is Cezanne's, Boy in the Red Waistcoat, worth $91 million. The other missing painting is Degas' Ludovic Lepic and his Daughter, worth $9 million. Hopefully the police will find them soon. Here's the link to the news article. (And I've figured out how to post links so that they'll pop up when you click on them, instead of you having to copy and paste it)

Happy Presidents' Day!
In celebration of Presidents' Day, I've decided to find some fun facts about the past (and present) leaders of our country. Here's some funny ones.
Ulysses S. Grant was arrested for speeding while driving a horse and buggy in Washington, DC. He had to pay a fine of $20.00 and walk back to the White House. Busted!
Andrew Jackson ran a lady over while he was speeding to get somewhere in his horse and carriage! The charges were later dropped. (Note: he was also the one who killed a man in a duel, on accident, I'm sure...)
Dwight Eisenhower and Gerald Ford are two presidents who loved to golf, but spectators had to watch carefully because Gerald Ford was known for conking people on the head with his wild shots. Heads up! :D
It was during Benjamin Harrison's presidency that electric lights were installed in the White House, but he was so afraid of getting shocked by the light switches that he refused to go near them! He had the White House staff go around turning the lights on and off for him.
Licoln was the tallest president at 6' 4", Madison was the shortest at 5' 4", (Madison weighed only about 100 lbs!)
John Tyler loved children, he had 15 of them! Wow, can you say full house?!
Rutherford B. Hayes was the first President to use a phone - his phone number was 1.
*Dials 1 in 1880..."Hello, this is Rutherford B. Hayes, President of the United States of America, how may I help you?" Hey mom, wanna come talk to the president?*
Chester Arthur owned 80 pairs of pants, and changed them several times a day! Wow!
Warren Harding once gambled away a whole set of White House china, using only one deck of cards, yikes!
Thomas Jefferson spoke quite a few languages. Not only did he master English (of course), but he also learned Latin, Greek, Spanish, Italian, French and more than twelve Native American dialects. Approximately 18 altogether. Wow, that's making my brain hurt! :D
And while we're on the subject of multi-lingual conversations, Herbert Hoover and his wife, Lou, learned Chinese so well that they often spoke it around the White House to protect themselves from eavesdropping.
George H. Bush was the first president to refuse publicly to eat broccoli! He announced at a farmer's convention that he didn't like eating broccoli. Farmers got mad and began sending truckloads of broccoli to the White House. His wife, Barbara, accepted the broccoli, but Bush said, "I am President of the United States and I don't have to eat it." Wish I could say that to my mom! :D
Another thing he did. After telling the press he was an expert in hand gestures, George Bush gave the "V-for-Victory" sign as he drove in his armored limousine past demonstrators in Canberra, Australia's capital in January 1992. In Australia, holding up two fingers to form a "V" has the same meaning as the middle-finger gesture in the United States. *GASP* The Australian demonstrators were very mad, and they signaled in the same manner back at the U.S. President. He later apologized.
In high school, Bill Clinton played saxophone in a jazz trio. The three musicians wore dark glasses on stage and they called themselves "Three Blind Mice"
Richard Milhous Nixon and William Jefferson Clinton are the only two presidents whose have the letters that make up the word "criminal" in them! Ooh!!!
And last but not least, never touch George W. Bush's collection of over 250 signed baseballs, or else! He is also the first president to have had twins.
So there you have it, we've had presidents who were scared of light switches, loved to golf, loved wearing 80 different pairs of pants, hated broccoli, ran people over, spoke Chinese, and gambled...Some of our presidents are very weird. Oh well, let's celebrate them, quirks and all! Happy Presidents' Day!
Here's some cool links.

Owen's Pre-Trial Report
*BREAKING NEWS REPORT*
Recently, it has come to light that the Ginn Family residence has suddenly been over run by dinosaurs! The dinosaurs no longer want to be stored in their box, and are currently found in random places around the house. The resistance is aided by Gabe, who organizes escape attempts for the dinos by dumping them out of their box. I had an interview with Gabe earlier today. He denies any involvement in the resistance, despite reports to the contrary. He maintains his innocence, that is, unless the jury decides to try him as an accomplice! The family dog, Owen, has taken it upon himself to become the local law enforcement, crushing any resistance by savagely biting off the heads, tails, and other various body parts of the rebelling dinosaurs, as seen in the news photo. However, Owen was not given permission to kill the rebelling dinos, he was ordered to bring them in alive. He was taken into custody today, and is currently awaiting his trial, scheduled for later tonight. He declined to comment. The trial will be led by the honorable judge, John Ginn, with the assistant judge, Susan Ginn presiding. For continuing coverage, report to susanginn.blogspot.com, or parkerginn.blogspot.com for the latest in the Ginn Family news.

Tragedy in the art world...
Wow, it's a sad day for the world of art. Apparently, three armed men stole four paintings from an art mueum in Zurich, Switzerland. The paintings were worth a combined total of, wait for it...$163.2 million!! It's the largest art robbery in Switzerland's history, and police have compared this latest heist to an art robbery that occurred in 2004, where two paintings, The Scream, (I love that painting, it's hilarious!) and Madonna, painted by Edvard Munch were stolen from a muesum in Norway.
The three men behind this latest heist entered the museum wearing dark clothes and ski masks. One of the men held the museum staff at gunpoint, while the other two went in and stole the four paintings. The paintings were hung behind glass, and an alarm went off when the glass was broken, but I guess security didn't get there fast enough. The museum director says that he's just glad that no staff or visitors were hurt.
Last week, two Picasso paintings were stolen from an exhibition near Zurich, and police are wondering whether the two robberies are related. The FBI estimates that the market for stolen art totals around $6 billion a year! Interpol has over 30,000 pieces of stolen art in its database, but only a fraction of the stolen art is found every year, despite heavy investigation. Most stolen art is sold on the black market, although some art pieces that have been stolen frequently are harder to sell. Anyway, sometimes it takes years of work before any clues on a piece of stolen art is found. Seven Picasso paintings were stolen from a museum in 1994, and it took six years for them to be recovered!
-----------------------------------
In other news, while all of Europe is searching, All of South Korea is mourning. A fire broke out Sunday night and burned down the wooden structure on top of the Namdaemun Gate (it's official name is Sungnyemun, meaning, "Gate of Exalted Ceremonies"), which once formed part of a wall that encircled the South Korean capital. A man with the last name Chae was arrested after evidence pointed to him, (he left two lighters there, apparently, although the police are still investigating different possibilities). Wonder what will come of it. Anyway, Namdaemun Gate was named South Korea's top national treasure on December 20, 1962, and for many Koreans, its destruction is like losing a family member. Some Koreans can't even sleep because they are mourning so deeply for the loss of the 610 year old cultural monument. The Namdaemun Gate was built in 1398, and has gone through some renovations since then, but it had survived the harsh Japanese occupation between 1910-1945, and the Korean War between 1950-1953, when much of Seoul was destroyed. The Korean Cultural Heritage Administration has undertaken a three year project that will cost $21 million, and will rebuild and restore the historic landmark. So it's a sad day for the cultural world. Hopefully, justice will be served.

In the Year 2038...(Take Two!)
In 30 years, what do I see myself doing? I imagine myself driving around in a hovercar, (if they're around) or maybe a car with heated/cooled seats! I imagine being married and having lots of kids. When I was younger, I remember saying that I wanted four kids, two girls, two boys. But now, I'm thinking that I want more, maybe five or six kids instead. I don't want my house to be lonely and quiet all the time, or be living in a house that has rooms that I don't even use. If I had left over space, I'd want to use it to help people. I want to be a fosterparent, and have lots of kids coming and going out of the house, like we do now. I want to have a good job, a CEO of a company, Apple, Microsoft, Nintendo, maybe, would work just fine! :D. I'd just like a job where I can help people. That'd be good. But no matter what I end up doing, I want to glorify God in what I do. Most of all, I want to be close to my wife, kids, family, and friends, and closer to God.

SuperBowl XLVIII
Okay, I was going to (re)write about what life will be like in 30 years, but put that on hold, let's talk about the SuperBowl! We went over to Steve and Hester's (church friends) house to watch it. (They have a big screen TV, good for watching sports, heh heh...) Hester was in India for a wedding, (fun!) but our friends, the Blanchards, were there, and we all pitched in and brought snacks and stuff for dinner. I honestly had no idea what was going on for the whole forst quarter of the game. (If you know me, you'll know that watching/understanding sports, yeah, not so high on my priority list.) All the guys were yelling something about downs and getting sacked and I was like, "uh huh, yeah, go Giants!!" Can you tell I felt like an idiot?
But Steve started to explain the game to me and Olivia, so I (sort of, kind of, not really) understand the rules of football now. (Basically, only about getting downs, field goals, and touchdowns, oh yeah, and getting sacked! :D) The game got more exciting after I started to understand what was going on. We were rooting for the Giants, if only because we didn't want the Patriots to get a perfect season. Too bad the Colts didn't make it to the SuperBowl again this year, wonder who would've won, Colts or Patriots...Oh well, at least we got to see Eli Manning play, and Peyton was at the game, so I guess we did get to see him too) Anyway, it didn't get really intense until the Giants were backed into a corner with the score at 14-10, and they pulled off a touchdown with a minute left on the clock. (I missed the last few minutes. I got to watch the replay of the last few minutes when we got home though.) I didn't notice a lot, I did notice that Tom Brady seemed frustrated the whole game, wonder why? We all had a fun night. Maybe if I fully get to understand the rules of football some more, then I'll watch it more. (When someone asks me about a person on a football team, I'm usually like, "uhh, who?" Completely embarrassing.)

Maybe if I fully get to understand the rules of football some more, then I'll watch it more. (When someone asks me about a person on a football team, I'm usually like, "uhh, who?" Completely embarrassing.)
