OK, I’m gonna get all astronomical on you now. So, if you’re not interested in perspectives about things like astronomy and navigation, you should probably tune me out for now. Because you might glaze over as I gab on about a particular celestial sphere. Before I go on, here’s a complex definition of a celestial sphere: “In astronomy and navigation, a celestial sphere is … The rest of the story…

It’s Sunday morning. So, here’s an obvious question. What do you call it when spirits play ball with a walrus head? Oh wait. Nix that question. What I meant to ask was, what do you call it when supernatural maidens take dead warriors into the afterlife. Never mind that last question. It sounds a little bit too mystic. Try this one. What do you … The rest of the story…
America has gone from one end of the spectrum to the other when it comes to what is revered. I was born into a country that, while it was already very messed up, still placed a high value on Christian principles. But now there’s sacred places, sacred idols, and sacred geometry. But no respect for THE sacred God. Uh-oh. Them there’s fightin’ words. How … The rest of the story…
There’s a hypocrisy paradigm that runs through the thread of human history. And it’s basically that those who either outright hate the very idea of God or those who deny His existence can only re-create what is good in their own delusional image. I wrote about the hypocrisy paradigm seven years ago. And I shared some (uninformed) information I found from a group of … The rest of the story…
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance. It’s all part of God’s plan. And we’re here by design. So, obviously there are no accidents in God’s plan. I agree. We’re here by design. But I disagree, or at least take issue, with ALL those other statements. We’re definitely not accidents and random chunks of meat that evolved from some primordial soup. I’ll … The rest of the story…
I wrote a rhyme called Face to Face. And it talked about how glorious it’ll be when you see Jesus in person. It WILL be indescribably beautiful and wonderful. Believers will experience all of God’s love for eternity. I also wrote a song, as a tribute, to a young man who died of cancer a few years ago. The song is called “Jeremiah’s Prayer.” … The rest of the story…
Well, it’s all over but the whinin’. Yeah, for all intents and purposes, July is done. And is it just me, or does it seem like there were more than a couple of hot days this month? Yeah, probably just me. OK, July is done. But you know what that means. Uh-huh. August, with its brisk, sweater weather days and frost-biting nights. Oh wait. … The rest of the story…
I’m the only byline author here on TonyFunderburk.com. And, of course, that makes sense since the website bears my name. In case you’re not familiar with journalism jargon, a byline is just a title of the article and who wrote it, who it’s “by.” And so I’m the byline author of this whole website. So, whether it’s blame or credit that’s dished out or … The rest of the story…
Happy Pioneer Day. And before you jump to the conclusion that I’m gonna share some Funderful insight about Brigham Young and his connection to Utah, let me assure you. Nothing could be further from that nonsense. Pioneer Day supposedly started out that way. And apparently it’s still “celebrated,” on some level, in Utah and maybe some other Western states. Chances are probably pretty good … The rest of the story…
Time travel is real. Before I explain that assertion, I’ll say this. And I’ve said it before, and maybe I’ll say it again sometime. I’ve enjoyed a wide variety of time-travel themed movies and other shows. Because it’s fun to imagine all the what-ifs. But all the what-ifs in the universe won’t make back and forth time travel a reality. So, how can I … The rest of the story…
With all the randomness in the universe, and our cute, little solar system, it’s a wonder that we can predict the moon phases with such accuracy. But we’re so good at it (and by “we” I mean earthlings) that we name the phases. And we know when they’re gonna happen. And we even know the best places to view them. Nothing short of miraculous. … The rest of the story…
I’d like to make Monday great. So, I’m gonna talk about the wind. I believe it does what it does by design. Some might call that “bold talk for a one-eyed fat man.” But I have enough true grit to stand by my assertion. And I believe humans can ride the wind by design. Not exactly like birds, that can fly with only feathers … The rest of the story…
It’s crazy weird. But most people still believe there are some people qualified to “make law.” And nothing could be further from the truth. I have a quirky, murky sign of a turkey who illustrates what I mean. And it has to do with something called the “Adult Entertainment Act.” Adult Entertainment Act might be the right name for it. Because it sounds like … The rest of the story…
If I talked to carnations, or lilacs, or even lilies of the valley (and I don’t, in spite of what you might’ve heard), I’d probably say something clever like, “You must’ve been scent from above.” And that’s because there’s nothing like a good pun to get a conversation rolling. Yeah, “scent from above” is a pun. Not a typo. And now that this conversation … The rest of the story…
I just read a short article about a Milky Way black hole problem. And you’d better brace yourself. Because this is a serious problem. Here’s a snippet from that article: “A black hole with millions of times more mass than the sun is hurtling towards Earth and will one day wipe out life as we know it. The black hole is speeding towards us … The rest of the story…
So, if the love of your life says he or she (and those are your only two choices) would like there to be more spontaneity in the relationship, RUN! Because that means they don’t believe in the biogenesis theory. Or, at the very least, they play way too fast and loose with reality. Because the biogenesis theory IS reality. In fact, it’s not just … The rest of the story…
Right up front, I gotta say it. And I know this is anathema to the enlightened, evolutionary worldview. But here it is. There’s no such thing as fossil fuel. Bam! I just attacked the whole fossils evolution connection. And, no, there won’t be a forthcoming retraction or apology. Because the fossils evolution connection is a fairy tale. And I probably shouldn’t say that. Because … The rest of the story…
The history of Play Dough (also known as Play Doh) is interesting. Because it actually started out as a product to help people clean the wallpaper in their homes. Wait. Play Dough cleaned walls? Huh? Yeah, a guy named Cleo McVicker created the stuff back in the 1930’s. His soap company, Kutol Products, was about to go out of business. But he negotiated a … The rest of the story…
Poetry in motion. “She blinded me with science.” And I’m about to dazzle you with distraction. Yeah, I figure I can mix the magic, media, and metaphors and still be back at the kitchen table in time for breakfast. Kids, don’t try this at home. Now, let’s dive into the wonderful world of kinetic art. First, what’s so great about kinetic art? Well, here’s … The rest of the story…
I love how I can charge up my mobile devices and take them with me and use them for hours without even plugging in. Because it would be awful if I had to take a gas-powered generator with me everywhere. And keep it running while I got my work done. Can you visualize a bunch of remote workers, in coffee shops trying to talk … The rest of the story…
