All of a sudden, I see an Elvis Presley Ringtones ad at the top of the page.  ::)

I'm on a trip right now. This afternoon I went to a park where there are actual dinosaur footprints. There are also real-size models of dinosaurs, and there are small speakers by the models that continually transmit sounds of how the dinosaurs might have sounded like (growls, howls, etc.)

We made a guided tour, and after it was finished the guide lady asked if there were any questions. I didn't have any questions, so I started to walk away. Then I overheard a woman asking the guide lady:

Those sounds of dinosaurs you can hear... Are they recordings?

WTF?  :P

yes somebody should have said that:
yes, dinosaurs were way ahead of their time and the were the first species to invent sound recording.  First, instead of what eventually became vinyl, they used stone and etched the soundtrack with sharp rocks.  Because of the excavations of the late 19th century, humans became aware of this technology and "rediscovered" it.  Mankind owes sound technology to our fossilized ancestors!  In addition to the sound recording technology, dinosaurs also invented oil, which is essential in today's economy.  Dinosaurs made a "time-capsule investments".  They knew that millions of years later, their descendants would depend on it.  Thanks, dinosaurs!

Hm, that certainly looks a lot like this page::)

By the way, I used to read the computer stupidities on that page. They're priceless!

That was pretty funny Mike, now I have to check out Tanuki's links! :D

Yes these things circulate, difficult to tell what is genuine and where urban myth takes over.

The ACTUAL way we write papers is:

1. Turn on computer.
2. Open browser.
3. Go to google.com.
4. Google "[insert topic here]".
5. Check out first three or four results.
6. Copy & paste the website with the most text (it doesn't matter if the content is at all relevant) into Word.
7. Print.


I've seen classmates who have actually left hyperlinks in their papers! Things like "click here to continue" or "from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia".

I actually have a little story about this. A classmate of mine borrowed a physics homework from me, "just to compare the results". Later I found out that not only had he plagiarized most of my work, but he had left a xeroxed copy of my homework on the folder he gave to the teacher! How stupid is that?  :P

Very true, indeed. I don't facebook, or myspace, or download from mininova, but I check email frequently when I lack inspiration for writing, and stay up late.

That's an echo of a famous Elvis quote (whether she meant it so or not) . . . .

Now, that is a very famous joke among opera lovers (whether it came from Elvis or not) . . . .

Interview conducted on a random street, New York

Interviewer: Hey mam, may I ask you a question? It is a survey of the ordinary American's IQ.

Dumbass woman: Sure.

Interviewer: Name one country that starts with the letter U.

Dumbass woman: Er...er....um....ah.....ERRR.....*30 seconds later* ( hesitantly) Utah, Yugoslavia??...hmm...not too sure...

Interviewer: Hah hah. How about this one: (gets closer to the woman) United States of America.

Dumbass woman: OHHHH YEAH!!!

You took it from here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6W3T7MTh4M - you could take a bunch of other quotes from there as well.... about the Eiffel Tower, for instance. Loved it. Or "Tony Blair is an actor."

He pretty much is :P Unlike GWB, he has enough cunning to be aware of when he is lying...
