Welcome to my Sample Home Page!

I am Richard F. Drushel, Ph.D., all-around Nice Guy, collector/healer of Coleco ADAM computers. In this Home Page, I'm fooling around with HTML, so it's filled with utter tripe and complete silliness. You have been warned!

Unmitigated Bafflegab!

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. When in the course of inhuman events, it becomes necessary for every idiot to flog his master with a cat-o'-ninetails, then shall the government of the people, by the people, and for the people, perish from the earth. (Apologies to Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln.)

Pleonastic Redundancy!

When dogs have flown to the star Sirius, it will indeed be the Dog Days. Of course, for you astronomically-challenged out there, Sirius is colloquially known to the hoi-polloi as the Dog Star. Watch out for the doggie-doo, however--Sirius is a hot blue star, and will most likely melt the mascara off any Deanna Troi or Barbarella-wench who warps too close.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind(tm)!

What makes meteors shine? The hot air rushing by them makes meteors shine. The hot meteors are flying by faster than your father driving his 1949 Studebaker a mile a minute. If they scratch the paint, he will be very angry, and will likely not allow you to watch Howdy Doody on television for the next three weeks. Of course, if you live in Roswell, New Mexico, you see shining metors all the time. The Air Force says they are just weather balloons, though. Wonder what the Blue-Nosed Greys have to say about that!

Here is the NASA Space Station Freedom, which will never be built :-(
