READ TO THE BOTTOM FOR QUOTE OF THE MONTH BY JAY LENO. IF YOU DON’T READ ANYTHING ELSE—VERY WELL STATED
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930′s, 40′s, 50′s, 60′s and 70′s!!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies i n baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.
Here are some links that stuck to the bottom of my shoe on my travels on the net.Some are entertaining some educational and some are just a waste of time.
Patz Fowle’s ceramic creation Vinny Van Goat, a half man half beast work of art that looks like a cross between Vincent Van Gogh and Patz’ neighbor’s goat!

Dave was bragging to his boss one day, “You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them.”
Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, “OK, Dave, how about Tom Cruise?”
“No dramas boss, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it.”
So Dave and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise’s door, and Tom Cruise shouts, “Dave! What’s happening? Great to see you! Come on in for a beer!”
A man comes into the ER and yells, “My wife’s going to have her baby in the cab!” I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted the lady’s dress, and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly I noticed that there were several cabs, and I was in the wrong one.

At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient’s anterior chest wall. “Big breaths,” I instructed. “Yes, they used to be,” she remorsefully replied.

If you’re giving a CD or a DVD as a Christmas present, here’s a nifty trick you can do to make the gift wrap just as interesting as the actual gift. Sent in by Neatorama reader Philip Chapman-Bell, who wrote:
This is the instructables.com tutorial for the Spiral Data Tato, a curiously complex origami CD or DVD case that can be made from one sheet of A4 or Americadian letter paper. The paper is folded into two double helices and zipped up with a single helix along the rim. It makes a delightful zipping sound when opened (see the ten second video in step 8). The perfect thing for a mix CD or a Christmas present for the unattainable beauty in your Calculus section.
