How Old Am I?
Do you get a kick out of guessing people's ages? Here's a web site that tests your skills and gives you a score. I did very, very poorly - I did so badly I'm not telling you how far off I was.

Baby's Expressions
Here's a link to a pretty cute site - from Meterdown comes a dozen or two babies on their first day of life. Some pretty cute expressions there, like the one winking at us (Sarah Palin?) or the poor soul who looks like he/she is constipated. Check them out.
Newsradio: Super Karate Monkey Death Car
On the old TV show called Newsradio, Jimmy wrote a book about his experiences in the business world. Unfortunately, his book got translated in Japanese and then back into English before it got published. This is a pretty funny clip.
Jerry Springer - The DNA Test
Watch Jerry Springer's reaction as one of his guests brings up the topic of a DNA test. This is funny for the stupidity of it.
Cow Giving Birth
This is funny - and gross. A cow gives birth to a - man. Yuck. Don't say you weren't warned.

Read The Times Online
I don't know if you get your news online,but there's a new reason to consider it. The New York Times has a new site up called the Article Skimmer that offers up headlines of the newspaper and makes it very, very easy to pick out the articles you'd like to read. Just click on any title and you're whisked away to the proper page.
I think that I read that this is a Beta version of the Article Skimmer - but I hope that means that it won't go away anytime soon - I really like this.

Are Men Happier?
Hypotheses: MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE
NICKNAMES
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.
If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.
EATING OUT
When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.
When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
MONEY
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.
BATHROOMS
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste , shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel .
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.
ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
SUCCESS
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
MARRIAGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.
DRESSING UP
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.
A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.
NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
OFFSPRING
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances , best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!
Another Warning
I've said it here several times now - don't get drunk in places where you are vulnerable to practical jokes.

Leave It To Fox News
Fox News was doing some speculating on Travis the Chimp, why he might have injured the neighbor lady, and why the woman kept Travis all those years. A little levity near the end of an interview is pretty funny - and a little gross.

Benny Hill: The Wishing Well
An old Benny Hill skit from the British comedy TV show. This one is a classic.
Pope Joke
(Yes, this joke does involve the Pope - I hope no one is offended. Equally offensive is the manner in which Republicans are treated in this joke - but that's okay - none of them will understand it as a joke on them.)
The Pope took a couple of days off to visit the rugged mountains of Alaska for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the campground in the Pope Mobile when there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods.
A helpless Democrat, wearing sandals, shorts, a "Save the Whales" hat, and a "To Hell with Bush" T-shirt, was screaming while struggling frantically and thrashing around trying to free himself from the grasp of a 10-foot grizzly. As the Pope watched in horror, a group of Republican loggers came racing up.
One quickly fired a 44 magnum into the bear's chest. The other two reached up and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious Democrat from the bear's grasp. Then using long clubs, the three loggers finished off the bear and two of them threw it onto the bed of their truck while the other tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the back seat.
As they prepared to leave, the Pope summoned them to come over. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions!" he told them. "I heard there was a bitter hatred between Republican loggers and Democratic Environmental activists but now I've seen with my own eyes that this is not true."
As the Pope drove off, one of the loggers asked his buddies "Who was that guy?"
"It was the Pope," another replied. "He's in direct contact with Heaven and has access to all wisdom."
"Well," the logger said, "he may have access to all wisdom but he doesn't know squat about bear hunting! By the way, is the bait holding up, or do we need to go back to Massachusetts and get another one?"

Optical Illusions Interactive Slide Show
If you enjoy optical illusions at all, I've found a web site with a great slide show of 50 of them. Music plays in the background (high intensity music which can be a little unnerving) and by clicking on any of the illusions, you will see some animation which demonstrates how the illusion works. Very well done.

A Very Long Joke
Some adult language...
Once upon a time, a young man went to the circus. He was very excited, as he lived in western Manitoba and had never seen a circus before--the kind of town where you shave and the trolley stops. Anyway, as circus days drew nigh, the young man grew ever more excited. He arrived before dawn to get the best seat in the house and sat down hours before the first trapeze act.
Finally after waiting for so long, the trapeze artists gave an awe-inspiring performance, the elephants danced and the lion tamer tamed. As the finale, clowns came out in full regalia and green hair. They rode around by the gross in a purple Volkswagen. The Volksie pulled up to center of the ring and an overweight clown with orange hair, acne and a purple nose advanced to the podium: "Will the person in section A, row Y, seat 42 please stand up?"
The young man looked at his ticket, and to his surprise, he was sitting in that very seat. The young man stood up. The clown then says, "Well-l-l-l-l-l, there's the horse's ass, now where's the rest of the horse?"
The entire crowd burst out into laughter. The young man, dumbfounded, stood for a moment, then quickly made his way through crowd and out of the tent. Returning home, he wept for days, and mourned the loss of dignity and honor.
Eventually reason overcame his grief and the young man grew determined. "I'm not going to get mad, I'm going to get even and avenge the honor of myself, my family, and this town," he exclaimed. He picked up the curriculum guide for the University of Nevada at Las Vegas (UNLV) correspondence courses and started to read. Eventually his eyes came to rest on an ad for a class in "Quick Wit Retort."
"Learn how to use those snappy comebacks to your advantage, now!"
So the young man sent in his $19.95 and soon received the course materials. In a few weeks, the young man mastered the materials and sent the final back to UNLV. Much to his surprise, a registered letter arrived from the president of UNLV. It read: "Dear Sir: We are utterly flabbergasted at your performance in Quick Wit Retort 101. We would be most gratified if you could come to UNLV to complete your degree with our fine academic institution. Here's a check to cover your expenses."
To make a long story short, the young man made straight A's in the QWR program. He was awarded numerous distinctions and when he graduated, the graduation speaker, General Colin Powell (U.S. Army, Ret.), awarded the man the Presidential Medal of Outstanding Quick Wit Retort, signed by George W Bush himself! Some days afterward, Harvard University sent a Lear jet to pick the man up for an interview.
The graduate admissions officer didn't mince words. "If you complete our masters/doctoral tenured track program in QWR, you will never have to worry about money again," said he. Needless to say, the young man promptly moved to Cambridge. In five years, the man had finished his doctorate. By this time, the young man was known throughout the world as the leading expert in Quick Wit Retort. Word had even reached western Manitoba, which, of course, made his mother very proud. Everyone from Pentagon pundits to Beltway bandits consulted the man on technical questions of QWR.
One day, while sitting at his desk reading his hometown newspaper, the young man noticed that the circus was coming to his hometown again. An evil smile crossed the young man's face. "Hobbs," cried the man to his assistant, "We must be away to Manitoba. Ready the jet!" As the plane crossed the purple mountains majesty and the fruited plains, the young man savored the moment of victory that was to be his. He arrived at the circus tent very early, making sure to get that very special seat: Section A, row Y, seat 42.
Finally, the circus began. The trapeze artists gave an awe-inspiring performance, the elephants danced, and the lion tamer tamed. At last, the clowns came out in full regalia and green hair. They rode around by the gross in a purple Volkswagen. The Volksie pulled up to center of the ring and an overweight clown with orange hair, acne, and a purple nose advanced to the podium: "Will the person in section A, row Y, seat 42 please stand up?"
The young man glanced at his ticket. This time he was ready. The clown looks up at him and says, "Well-l-l-l-l, there's the horse's ass, now where's the rest of the horse?"
The young man rose to his feet, full of confidence. He knew from his years of training that there was only one thing he could do. He thrust out his chest and said in the loudest voice you can imagine: "FUCK YOU, CLOWN!"

A Quick Little Joke
They tell of a doctor who became insane and turned to kidnapping.
But he was highly unsuccessful: his ransom notes were unreadable.
But he was highly unsuccessful: his ransom notes were unreadable.
Hi-Fi
When you're traveling the highways and byways of life, it's always a great joy to have a decent sound system so you can listen to high quality renditions of your favorite tunes.
Bad Media Placement
You have to pay a chunk of change to put up a billboard. There's rental of the space - and you have to pay to produce the billboard. Location is a key component in the cost as well - placing the billboard in a well-traveled location costs more than one posted on a quiet street. I wonder how much the companies had to pay the idiots that placed these two competing billboards?
New Product
It's amazing that science continues to find new ways to treat injuries. Wouldn't you think that by now we'd know almost everything there is to know about the human body and how to treat it effectively? Well, not so - combining common knowledge with everyday food products can produce new treatments that are more effective than ever. Will our skills at finding new treatments ever plateau?

Drunk Steve and His Lawnmower Go Riding Again
In part 1 of Steve's adventures (see previous post), Steve got a face full of pepper spray - but this time he meets that taser gun. Poor Steve - he's just trying to get along in this world - and he knows his rights.
Fascinating Billboards
I ran across a web site with some fascinating photos of some very imaginative billboards. I've posted two of them here - the top one for some whiskey, the bottom advertising some bubble gum. It doesn't take long to browse through the thirty-five or so photos, and they are worth the look.

Amazing Bucket
For those of you younger folks who are mostly suburban or city based, you're probably not too familiar with the old-fashioned galvanized buckets of years gone by. They were much more 
common before plastics became so cheap and popular. There's a picture of one here in this post, just for your information. They still sell them today - in fact, this post is about one that's posted for sale on Amazon.com (only $7.49).
What makes this whole post so interesting is one of the reviews someone posted. It's pretty fuuny.

Being an afficianado and collector of buckets, I was ecstatic when I came across this 2 Gallon Galvanized wonder. It's beauty and wonder cannot be overstated. It is quite simply the Mercedes-Benz of buckets, if I may say. I ordered this amazing product and the days spent waiting for it were probably the longest of my life.via the J-Walk BlogWhen it finally arrived, I eagerly ripped open the box and tore off the paper covering the Dover Parkersburg 610. All the packaging wasn't even necessary, because this bucket folks, hold on to your hats, is made of METAL! That's right, 100% metal. As advertised, it is quite capable of holding water, but that moniker is far too restrictive. This versatile container can hold equal amounts of *any* liquid you can think of.
To test it's claim that it holds two gallons, I went out and bought two gallons of buttermilk from my local dairy vendor. I poured both gallons of creamy goodness inside the 610, and to my surprise, it held both gallons! Then, of course, I faced the problem of having to drink two gallons of buttermilk.
Long story short, the 610 was able to handle the resulting two gallons of vomit! Days later, when I got out of the hospital, cleaning the 610 was no problem. The galvanized surface made cleanup a snap. I have found countless other uses for this versatile bucket since then. Highly recommended!

Cloning Problems
Cloning your pet can be an iffy proposition - you can't be sure the biologists will get all of the genes quite right and the offspring could be totally unexpected.
