Not So Bright Folks
Bits and Pieces has got a "top ten" list of stupid people posted on their site. Click the link to jump, but I've given you a taste just below.
1. When his 38-calibre revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up in Long Beach , California, would-be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked.
2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat-cutting machine and, after a little shopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company expecting negligence sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine and he also lost a finger. The chef’s claim was approved.
3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.
Remember the wedding entrance dance on video that went viral a week or so ago? Don't ell me you didn't think there might be a divorce someday. It might look something like this...
The Future of Video
“By using a Google Streetview-like camera, a system with six lenses, not as a photo but as a video camera, an all-encompassing picture is captured. […]
From the point where the images were recorded, the viewer can look in any direction, let his eyes wander through the crowd, or stare at the ground or the air, which makes viewing a video an experience without boundaries.” – Yellow Bird press release.

He Said What?
"George Washington was called a terrorist by the British. De Gaulle was called a terrorist by the Nazis. l am a freedom fighter."

Chainsaw Art
I posted a slide show below, courtesy of Google. It features 29 photos of some chainsaw art that is pretty amazing and was sent to me in one of those viral emails that gets sent all over the world.

Rainy morning
It's a rainy morning here today (upstate New York), but the forecast is for it to clear this afternoon. But for the past 24-hours my allergies have been acting up - runny nose, itchy runny eyes, and my daughter says she's experiencing it as well. Not sure what's up, but I don't like it. Even my Singulair isn't helping.
Just sayin'.

He Said What?
People were checking out who they were dating by Googling them. I think it's a tremendous responsibility. If you think everybody is relying on us for information, you understand the responsibility. That's mostly what I feel. You have to take that very seriously."
-GOOGLE CO-FOUNDER LARRY PACE (September 2004)

Man Walks Into A Bar Joke
A guy walks into a bar, sits down, and asks, 'Bartender, any specials today?'
Bartender answers, 'Yes, as a matter of fact we have a new drink, invented by a gynecologist patron of ours. It's a mix of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer and Smirnoff Vodka.'
The guy asks, 'Good grief, what do you call that?'
The bartender replied, 'It's a 'Pabst Smir.
Speeders Joke
Believe it - or don't...GOOD: Seattle, WA policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem - a 12-year-old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign, which read 'RADAR TRAP AHEAD'. The officer also found the boy had an accomplice who was down the road with a sign reading 'TIPS' and a bucket full of money (And we used to just sell lemonade!)
BETTER: A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in Silverdale, WA. A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40. The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.
BEST: A Young woman was pulled over for speeding. A WA State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said, 'I bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the State Trooper's Ball.' He replied, 'Washington State Troopers don't have balls.' There was a moment of silence. He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left.
Golf Joke
A group of golfers were putting on the green when suddenly a ball dropped in their midst. One of the party winked at the others and shoved the ball into the hole with his foot. Seconds later a very fat player puffed on to the green, quite out of breath."Excuse me," he said as he looked around distractedly. "Have you seen my ball?"
"Yeah, it went in the hole," the joker answered with straight-faced alacrity.
"Really?!" The fat guy said, unbelieving.
"Take a look," the jokester said, pointing at the hole as the rest of his foursome looked in in amusement.
The guy waddled over to the hole, looked in, reached down and picked up his ball. His astonishment was plain to see.
"Woo hoo!!" he exclaimed.
Then he turned, spotted his partner, and shouted out at the top of his lungs, "Hey, Sam, guess what?! I got an eleven!"

A Joke About An Old Lady
An old lady was standing at the railing of the cruise ship holding her hat on tightly so that it would not blow off in the wind.
A gentleman approached her and said: "Pardon me, madam. I do not intend to be forward, but did you know that your dress is blowing up in this high wind?"
"Yes, I know," said the lady, "I need both hands to hold onto this hat."
"But, madam, you must know that your privates are exposed!" said the gentleman in earnest.
The woman looked down, then back up at the man and replied, "Sir, anything you see down there is 85 years old. I just bought this hat yesterday!"
