Research is Funny
Posted in The Book of the Dead on 01/26/2010 11:59 am by jessYou’ve got to love when you do an image search to check your understanding of a Pulaski (everybody’s favorite tool–axe and pick in one) and you come upon this:
instead of this:
This is the second time I’ve had a laugh on behalf of Casimir Pulaski, a Polish hero of…something or other. I’d tell you more about it, but you’d probably think it was silly and agree with me that you had to be there.
If you have any stories of resarch snafus, however, or, indeed, tales of Casimir Pulaski, feel free to share.

I LOVE Casimir Pulaski, not because I know anything about him, but because we get a day off in his honor in Chicago!

Sparks! Good day! It’s always sooo good to hear from you. You bhtirgened up my afternoon, via your mother’s question. That was my question when I moved out here as if these children don’t have enough days off. I’m glad this particular day off was a memorable one. No two days are alike, so I’m taking this one all the way to the bank. Hopefully, it will cheer me up on a rainy day when I will need a good memory.As always, thanks for taking the time to read the posts. Keep on reading! Keep on writing!
