The Top Ten Reasons I Should Be The Next Pope
In a world that’s constantly changing, the papacy could use a fresh perspective — someone who understands both tradition and innovation. Enter me, a voice of humor, wisdom (?) and everyday insight. While I may not be a cardinal (yet), I firmly believe I’m more than qualified to wear the white hat (technically called a zucchetto). Here are ten compelling reasons why I should be the next pope: 1.…

Finger Guns: Cool, Funny, or Bad?
Pic courtesy of ESPN Memphis Grizzlies player Ja Morant has been in trouble for his “finger guns” before. In 2023 he was suspended from playing in the NBA twice for posting pictures on social media of him brandishing a real hand gun. Now he’s getting heat from the league for using a “finger guns” gesture after hitting shots in basketball games. I was all in on the suspensions for him as a public…

My Current Favorite Blogs
I don’t just write a blog, sometimes I read other peoples blogs too! Here are the best I’ve enjoyed in my 20 years. 1. JohnHowell.com, also known as Fiction Favorites. Author and blogger John Howell is always entertaining. Views of The Neighborhood, Top Ten lists and the humorous conversations between his dogs. 2. The Spectacled Bean: One of the GOATs in blogging land. Her blog is always fun…

The First Phil Factor
Yes, on this very day, at this exact time, on April 2nd in 2005, I put my writing legs up in the stirrups, leaned back and gave birth to The Phil Factor. Yes, the image was meant to make you cringe a little. If my blog was a person it would be at college experimenting with alcohol and gummies while failing English composition. There’s not many blogs in the world that have been active as long or…

The Other Phil Factor?
That picture is not me. Hard to believe I know. Going back to the early days of Google search it always bugged me when I’d Google my own blog and the first name on the list was ThePhilFactorMagic.com. It wasn’t every time. Sometimes I was at the top of the Google list and other times it was him. For a while I was irked, but I got over it and decided to bring our impressive forces together to…

The Best Phil Factor Interviews
In my 20 years of blogging I’ve have interviewed a lot of very interesting, accomplished people. The world is full of them and some of them are also very nice and took some time to talk with a small time blogger. These are the top ten in no particular order. Each interviewee is awesome in their own right and specialty. Each of their names will by linked so you can read the interview if you…

Scientists Making The World Worse, or Just Dumber?
Pic courtesy of the BBC and Colossal Biosciences. Some of you may remember my blog post thirteen months ago titled Scientists Making The World Worse, Again… . Last year I told you about the ridiculous quest of a commercial genetics company trying to bring mastodons back to life in our world. Apparently we won’t need to worry about mastodons leaving poops the size of an 8 year old in our yard…

Throwback Thursday: There's a New Pope
Proving that #ThePhilFactor is one of the oldest continuous running blogs on the interwebs, today’s Throwback Thursday post goes back to not the most recent Pope election, but the one in 2005. That’s right, The Phil Factor has now spanned two Popes and four Presidents. In fact it was almost three Popes. Pope John Paul II died the day before The Phil Factor was born. Or did he die <em>so that</em>…

The Top Ten Perks of Being The Pope
10. He gets his own bobblehead: My head bobbles, but nobody is making toys out of it. 9. Chicks dig a guy with power: Dude can get anyone he wants in Vatican City. From what I hear, he’s got a serious habit habit, if you know what I mean (insert wink emoji here). 8. I tried for years to Get McDonald’s to serve breakfast all day: One wave of his triton and it’s Egg McMuffin’s for dinner. 7. He…

Is Daylight Savings Time Really Necessary?
This is my bi-annual reminder that tomorrow night in the United States we move our clocks forward by an hour and my reminder to you that it’s stupid. I’ve been posting this every Fall and Spring since 2006 and will continue to do so until the government does away with Daylight Savings Time. When I’m elected President, or Sexiest Man Alive, whichever comes first, I’m going to pass a law getting…

Sometimes Time Stops
For the half dozen or so loyal online friends/readers, I’d like to apologize for my lack of writing and for missing out on your amazing posts over the last two months or so. I’m in one of those times in life that stops you in your tracks. I want to write, but my corny dad jokes will have to wait. I hope you are well, and I look forward to catching up on all your writing as soon as I can. I hope…

Snowmageddon 2025! (aka Snow in The South)
It’s happening this week. The annual snowpocalypse in the southeastern United States. For those of you reading from other countries, there are parts of the United States that get a lot of snow for about four months every year. I live in one of those unfortunate places. For us, getting a foot (30 centimetres) of snow overnight just means that we have to spend a little extra time clearing our…

New Years Eve For Boomers!
Congratulations! Your Pontiac Fiero has taken you past the threshold of normal adulthood. Now as a bona fide Boomer, you’re faced with the perplexing challenge of navigating New Year’s Eve like an adult adult.

My Life-Long Friend Judy Izzum
You can purchase this t-shirt @ https://pixels.com/featured/funny-now-you-understand-hanukkah-jewish-felix.html That pic above is the kind of information I didn’t have as a kid. I grew up as a Catholic kid in a middle class neighborhood in upstate New York. So, you would think that if I’m in New York there would be a lot of Jewish people around. You are sadly mistaken. New York is a pretty big…

The Phil Factor 2025 Psychic Predictions
I know you’re wondering, “is this guy really a psychic?” Guess what? I wonder that too. In 2014, my first post about psychic predictions was intended to be all jokes. But one of the absurd predictions involving Justin Bieber and the Kardashian’s came exactly true. So I decided to publish my psychic predictions every year and I keep getting more things right. Pic from Psychic4Insight.com As I’ve…
