All I can say is prepare yourself for 30 minutes of awesomeness.

Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room.
A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2. Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where's the missing dollar? Monday, November 14. 2005Riddle Me This
This is an oldie but goodie:
There is a man lying in the desert flat on his face, dead. He has no water, no hiking gear, is wearing a back-pack, and there are no tracks leading up to his body. How did he die? Sunday, November 6. 2005Trivia Question
An old woman died, leaving her family a precious diamond. But she hid it in a secret location, and gave them only one clue: It's hidden in a cylinder surrounded by a thousand squares.
Where is the diamond? Monday, October 24. 2005Olympics in 2016?
Now see this only goes to prove they'll have a championship for almost anything.
I especially enjoy the last paragraph. Saturday, October 22. 2005Thanks Joey
So I had this friend of mine that was supposed to put something up on the blog for me, but he seems to have not done so. Anyone want to guess who that someone was? That's right Joey. Well I finally have a keyboard under my fingertips, so here is the message.
I will not be able to make the D&D session on wednesday, because I am attending my Stake temple night activity at the SL temple. I am not asking anyone to change their schedule to do it another night. I am only informing you of my absence. Feel free to not cancel, but to press on without me. Joey can play my character for me. Sorry for the bad news. Tuesday, October 4. 2005Wanna Go For a Ride?
This is pretty clinicial, but probably not appropriate for all audiences. The New York Times has an article about the dangers of riding bikes for extended periods of time. Among the choice parts of the article, I picked out these gems for your reading pleasure:
Dr. Goldstein added, "Numbness is your body telling you something is wrong." Just as many smokers do not get lung cancer, many cyclists will never develop impotence from bicycle seats, the scientists said. "We make kids wear helmets and knee pads," Dr. Goldstein said. "But no one thinks about protecting the crotch." Cyclists became angry and defensive, he said, adding: "They said cycling is healthy and could not possibly hurt you. Sure you can get numb. But impotent? No way." "Most people are not riding long enough to damage themselves permanently," said the spokesman, Marc Sani, publisher of Bicycle Retailer and Industry News. "But a consumer's first line of defense, for their enthusiasm as well as sexual prowess, is to go to a bicycle retailer and get fitted properly on the bike." This has been a Public Health & Safety Announcement courtesy of the Homestarmy and sponsored by Kelloggs. Monday, September 19. 2005Drink Up Me Hearties. Yo Ho!

Thursday, September 15. 2005Please Explain
So I was having a conversation with a friend, and he made the comment: "I can always hope". So I got wondering about another statement. Can a person actually, hope against hope? Please give me your thoughts.

So I was trying to find some information about Pandas, to hopefully show The Mad Giggler that Pandas are actually not friendly cuddly animals. So I went to wikipedia to do some research and found this interesting bit of info, that I thought you should all share in:
On the trivial side, pandas in captivity sometimes do not know how to mate. In order to tackle this problem, keepers of the bears in China, usually show "pornographic/educational" videos to the bears, the contents being pandas having sex with each other. Amazingly, the bears get stimulated by the videos. Sunday, August 14. 2005

So at my family reunion, one of my aunts told me that she had a girl that she had been "dying" to introduce me to. So I said, sure here is my email address, have her contact me. Now here is where I need the help.
My aunt described her as "willowy". Which I took to mean as slender and graceful. So in my first email I told her that my aunt had called her willowy, and then I asked her (as a joke), since she was willowy, if she had to prune herself often. She replied and said that she would classify anorexic and willowy close together. On a side note, she then said that she was probably thicker like an oak tree. So what is that supposed to mean? I don't inderstand women. Please help! Thursday, July 28. 2005Perhaps some levity?
It seems that a university Philosophy professor made a great breakthrough and had agreed to do a series of talks at universities throughout the country detailing his discoveries. Because the professor disliked airplanes, he hired a chaffeur to drive him from one spot to the next. Spending so much time together, the professor and the chaffeur became friendly and in the course of time, the chaffeur confided that he thought the professor had about the easiest job in the world.
"How's that?" asked the professor. "Well," said the driver. "You give the same talk night after night. You get asked the same questions night after night. There's just nothing to it. Really, I've heard it so many times now, even I could do it." At this, the professor challenged the chaffeur and at their next stop, the chaffeur and the professor changed roles (and clothes). Good as his word, the chaffeur gave a very successful talk and, just as he had predicted, the same questions were asked. That is, until one person asked a new question, one the chaffeur-cum-professor didn't know. He thought about it for a while and finally said, "Young man, that is the single most stupid question I have EVER been asked. Why, I'm surprised that you don't know the answer to it. I would think anyone would. In fact, the question is so simple, I'm going to have my chaffeur answer it!" -- This same professor comes into a class on Philosophy on the last day of the term and tells the students that 100% of their grade for the class will be based on the paper he is about to ask them to write. He pulls up a chair, sits down, and declares: "You have 1 and a half hours to prove to me, using the things you've learned this term, that this chair does not exist." All of the students save one begin frantically scribbling, tying Bhuddism to Fruedianism to Aristotle. The last student looks very carefully at the professor for about 30 seconds, then writes a few words on a piece of paper, hands it in, and leaves. When the grades are published, the entire class is mystified to see that only the one student passed. His paper is posted next to the grades, and says simply: "What chair?"

It was announced today that they are going to make a Voltron movie. This is of course on the heels of them announcing that there will also soon be a cgi Smurfs movie, and a cgi Ninja Turtles movie. Ninja Turtles is of course recently seen a resurgence in the video game markets with a crappy (right Giggler) game last year.
This after the following lineup of movies that came out this year: The Longest Yard, Star Wars III, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Batman Begins, Bad News Bears, Herbie: Fully Loaded, and Bewitched, with Dukes of Hazzard right around the corner. Sure some of these movies were good (Charlie, Longest Yard, Batman), of course some of them weren't so good (Bewitched, Star Wars). Not to mention the countless covers of songs that seem to be on the airwaves now a days. Is anyone else sick of the entertainment industries seeming refusal to come up with good original mainstream entertainment for us to enjoy, and instead decide that they must rape and pillage the memories of our youth by hiring someone like Michael Bay to direct a live-action Transformers movie, nice opening to "The Island" there buddy. I don't mind the occassional sequel, or remake, especially when done well (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), as opposed to seomthing just put out there to make money, quality be darned (Star Wars), but I also like to see new original works, or adaptations of things that hadn't been given proper treatmen before like Lord of the Rings or Chronicles of Narnia. I think that all the Screenwriters, song writers, video game makers, etc. are locked into a room, strapped down to electric chair that sends immense voltage throughout their body, until they come up with something new, different, and/or Original. The worse part of all this, is it seems that when something new and different is produced, studio's manage to screw it all up. Thursday, July 14. 2005Ahhh, the Joys of True Love
Found this Story, and just had to share it with you.
Divorced Couple Argue Over Virtual Items I guess it was just a matter time before we would start seeing this ... a couple filing for divorce in China is arguing over custody of their computer game characters and virtual items. According to the Chongqing Business Post, Mr. Wang from Chongqing and Ms. Ye from Huibei met last September on Shanda's online game Legend of Mir 2. Wang saved Ye's character from being killed by another player and the two quickly fell in love. The couple married at the end of October but decided to get a divorce this last June. During their marriage, the couple jointly played over ten Mir 2 accounts, attaining level 40 to 50 status for all of them, which I am told is quite high. All the characters and virtual items are estimated to be worth 40,000 to 50,000 Yuan, and Wang said that he wants to keep the accounts and virtual items and is willing to give their joint apartment to Ye. However, Ye wants to split the apartment and game items equally (how do you split an apartment?). Remember, if you are going to share your virtual items with your significant other make sure to write your name on all your items! Sometimes even true love isn't enough |
