Joke of the day

A man stopped at a florist shop after work to pick up roses for his wife. As the clerk was putting the finishing touches on his bouquet, another man burst through the door, breathlessly requesting a dozen red roses. "I'm sorry," the clerk said. "This man just ordered our last bunch."

The desperate customer turned to the other man and begged, "May I please have those roses?"

"What happened?" the first man asked. "Did you forget your wedding anniversary?"

"It's even worse than that," the second man confided. "I crashed my wife's hard disk drive."

Have a nice day! :)

Oooh never knew that...

Do you know the only location in the US where the boundaries of four states join in one place?

Posted the answer in the comments, if you want to see it.

Most disgusting thing I've ever seen

Met a man yesterday who grew his thumb nail to about an inch or so. I asked him why only that particular nail was long and he gave me a few uses for it:

  • Can pick your ear with it
  • Can pick you nose with it
  • Great for strumming the guitar
  • Perfect for scratching
  • Great for blackheads
  • Oh... and, it's useful for slicing fruit open (esp. mango and kiwi)
Just lost my appetite.

For the women...

When shopping for perfume, it's best to carry a cup of coffee with you. The aroma of the coffee neutralizes any smells lingering in your noses. So when you're ready to sniff-test another perfume, just take a whiff of your cup-of-chino first :)

Did you know...

That the majority of our planet's population can't lick their elbows?

(bet you're dying to try it right now... ;)

And that the distance between your elbow and wrist is approximately the size of your foot?

*Update* And when we spread our arms out that's how tall we are, from fingertip to fingertip. (thanks, Chyrene!)

Find the nine people

There are nine people in this picture:


Find 6, and you have ordinary powers of obervation.

Find 7, you're observation skills are above average.

Find 8, you are superior to 90% of individuals.

Find 9, you can rival Sherlock Holmes.

Posting the solution in the comments. No cheating :)

Nemo has been found!


Sadly, the sushi chef in Japan didn't know people we're looking for him.


iGuy for iPod

This has got to be one of the best iPod holders out there. It's called iGuy, and kinda reminds you of Gumby, complete with flexibly arms and legs. It's not completly useless though. It's a great iPod holder for work where you can hang your keys on his arms or rest your cellphone on him.

You can see more of him here.

mini iGuy will be ready by July.

Indian woman chops off husband's penis

It's Loreena all over again.

Somehow, a man can't go to sleep peacefully these days...

But, here's are 10 good reasons Loreena Bobbit should be president:

10. She could be the first woman president.
9. Has unique way of dealing with out of line congressmen and senators.
8. Would have big emotional advantage negotiating with male heads of state of foriegn powers.
7. "First Man Knocks the Pres Around" would make great story for Weekly World News or the Star.
6. If she was acquitted in this trial, she should be able to get away with murder in the White House.
5. If she get's out of line, we could rename it The Red House.
4. Could include clause in Health Care package to not include severed organ reattatchment.
3. People would take her seriously when she says she's tough on violent crime offenders.
2. Better than any candidate the Republicans or Democrats have to offer.
1. Has shown her self capable of cutting the budget deficit.

Got that from an email.

Best driving seat out there


Here's a plumber's truck pretty much advertising itself :)

Palindromes

Palindromes are words or phrases that read the same backwards as forward. Here are some neat examples:

Go deliver a dare, vile dog!
Madam, in Eden i'm Adam
May a moody baby doom a yam?
Do geese see God?
Murder for a jar of red rum
Never odd or even
Dogma: I am God
Too bad -- I hid a boot
A man, a plan, a canal: Panama


Sentences wth all the letters

These are known as holalphabetic sentences or pangrams. These are used by most typographers for browsing fonts:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex
How piqued gymnasts can level six jumping razorback frogs
We promptly judged antique ivory buckles for the next page
Sixty zippers were quickly picked from the woven jute bag
Jump by vow of quick, lazy strength in Oxford
Jackdaws love my big spinx of quartz

Update: Changed 'jumped' to 'jumps'. (Thanks to Tom and Icy)
