Your latest laughs from around the world

Your latest laughs from around the world. But you ask, “What do you have for me this week, Andy?”

Lots! First of all, you’ve got this:

Would you play this at your wedding?

This is from TwosetViolin, one of my favorite Youtube channels. I also have an Andy Zach channel, for your viewing pleasure.

But that’s not all! I finished another short story, Her Majesty’s Corgi’s. It’s based on a little incident in My Undead Mother-in-law. You can read it for free on Kindle Unlimited. The short story will appear in my next book, Oops! Tales from the Turkey Apocalypse.

Then there’s this bitter argument between two lynxes.

Do you ever argue with your significant lynx?

But perhaps you prefer more chicken music?

Pachelbel’s Chicken

I don’t comment on politics, but I found this next video commenting on the United Kingdom and the European Union hilarious in light of the Brexit controversy.

US citizens who don’t know about or care about Brexit can just skip this one.

No Laughter Break for News

I found this video of a car-sized meteor hitting near Adelaide Australia. If you’ve never seen a large meteor before, check out the video.

Here is a science fact you may not know about human language.

The Bermudas and the US suffered from Hurricane Dorian this week. For a science fiction author like myself, I love the view of this terrible storm from space.

In addition to my Andy Zach Facebook page, I have a Zombie Turkey page where I post turkey related items, like this next one.

Did you know my book My Undead Mother-in-law has corgis in it?

I can’t finish this blog without a satiric article about craft beer, one of my favorite hobbies.

The Best August Videos, Pictures, and News

The Best August Videos, Pictures, and News, personally curated by me Andy Zach. Be warned: these may not be what you expect.

The first video might be the weirdest prank I’ve ever heard about. And it’s part of English history too. Who’d ever believe this in fiction?

But hold onto your galoshes: there’s a lot more.

How about a late-breaking science video of new advances in rocketry?

Now let me try to be more relateable by posting a cute dog video for your viewing pleasure.

Speaking of relatable, I have a dog I walk every day over the hills and valleys in the park around my house. A105 pound black lab named ‘Trip’, so-called because he likes to rub against you and trip you.

Which picture do you like the best? Let me know and I’ll send you a free short story from my next book Oops Tales from the Turkey Apocalypse

What else do I have for you? How about this article about an exoskeleton?

More Best August Videos

This is a good one. If you’ve seen it before, contact me and I’ll give you a book of your choice.

Pachelbel’s Canon on the rubber chicken

I have more for you!

Or maybe this picture will tickle you. Everyone loves puppies!

Even three-headed puppies!

Then you’ve got this bon mot.

Okay, I have one last video for you. But before you see it, let me offer you a chance to win one of my books. I have two drawings coming up this month, one for a free book and one for a free audiobook.

Finally, A Secret Supers Review

Secret Supers covers

Title: Secret Supers: What happens when ‘differently-abled’ people become ‘super-abled’?

Author: Andy Zach

Genre: Fiction/Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror

Audience: Middle-Grade

Word Count: 31000

Assessment:

Plot: Four differently-abled middle school kids use science to give themselves super powers and solve crimes while in disguise. This is a sweet YA read with a surprise ending that will delight readers.

Prose/Style: There is some clever imagery here, with steady and clear dialogue. Descriptions of the super powers and how the children react to them are authentic, touching, and sometimes funny.

Originality: Disabled kids who are not just the heroes but superheroes of the story is a fresh and clever premise. Even without revealing their secret identities, the kids are accepted by their peers after saving the school budget.

Character Development: All of the young and vibrant characters are wonderfully drawn, especially Dan, the blind boy who gains the ability to read minds. Even the pet hamster, Dancer, plays an important role in the plot twist.

From my Book Life Prize entry. I entered Secret Supers and will find out if I progress to the next round.
