Chicken News
Okay, here we go ... weird chicken stories. A woman dies trying to rescue a dead chicken and police arrest man choking chicken. Bruahaha!
Wait, look what I found on As Seen On TV ... Crazy Cluck The Wacky Chicken! Only $19.95 plus S/H. Nice!
My eyes are burning …
No! I did not see a butter face, Joan Rivers, Janet Reno, or other butter poster child. The government article font and formatting is burning my monk eyes. I am trying to refrain from reformatting the post, because as authors you are responsible for your own content. No editing from me, but I have to admit it is a butter post!
For video peeps …
YouTube is the reference video sharing site, period. Not so fast Ricky Racer, video sharing sites are popping up each day. Each with their own niche or unique features, so it is only appropriate that we give props to sites that do video BETTER than YouTube:
Singapore Girl
@Sum Yum Do: Recruiting guidelines for the Singapore Girl and the Stewardess Uniform Collection, 699 different uniforms from 306 airlines. Good lord, that is quite an extensive collection. Check it peeps. Next time you fly Singapore Airlines, you will know what the different colored uniforms represent on the Airline!
A Spanish teacher
A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.'
'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'
A student asked,
'What gender is 'computer'?'
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female,
and asked them to decide for themselves whether 'computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun.
Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender
('la computadora'),
because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck
on accessories for it.
(THIS GETS BETTER!)
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'),
because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
The women won.
Sum Yum Do response : DOH!!!!!
A couple things
Notice the Count of the Collection? I didn't realize that the system type Integer could somehow fall out of scope.
Also some Reminders.
Dave needs to blog about the Cheerleaders.
Tony needs to post about Susan and the stewardesses
Sam needs to post about learning the intricacies of learning American idioms.
Government
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, ‘What is Politics?’ Dad says, ‘Well son, let me try to explain it this way:I am the head of the family, so call me The President. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government. We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People. The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we will call him the Future. Now think about that and see if it makes sense.’ So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parent’s room and finds his mother asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy says to his father, ‘Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.’ The father says, ‘Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.’ The little boy replies, ‘The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.'
30 day update …
I was curious to see if my prediction about the Alvin & the Chipmunks movie was correct. I predicted that 20th Century-Fox would leave the movie in theaters until it broke the $200M mark and then rush it to DVD.
Well, I was wrong. 20th Century-Fox is milking all it can from the movie. To date, the movie has grossed an outrageous $210,108,277. This places the movie at number #74 for all-time US movies. Showing at a theater near you.
