Got this joke in my inbox this morning….

(a) The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

(b) On the other hand, the French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

(c) The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

(d) The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

(e) Conclusion: Eat and drink what you like. It’s speaking English that kills you.

…some people clip obituaries. And quite a collection they have (around 450,000).

When you setup a domain/project in Adobe Go Live and upload it, if you don’t remember to change the TITLE tag, it uses the default. Well, apparently nobody bothers to change it, as evident in this google query. (thanks NTK).

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is a very energetic man, and he’s been captured on video doing some pretty funny stuff. First there video of him dancing around like a monkey boy. Soon after, a video of him sweating like a pig and chanting at a developer’s conferences were released. Then somebody desided to put the video to music with some funny results. And then someone got some Domo-Kun dancing video clips and have Steve’s chanting going on. The results are absolutely hillarious.

“Normal” is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work, driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job that you need so you can pay for the clothes, car and the house that you leave empty all day in order to afford to live in it.

another joke….

The interviewer examined the job application then turned to the prospective employee: “I see you have put ASAP down for the date you are available to start, meaning ‘as soon as possible’, of course. However, I also see that you have put ‘AMAP’ down for required salary. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen that before. What does it mean?”

The applicant replied, “As Much as Possible!”

Dentist to Patient: “Would you help me out? I’d like you to give a few of your loudest screams?”

Patient: “Why, Doc? It isn’t all that bad this time.”

Dentist: “There are so many people in the waiting room right now, and I don’t want to miss the 5 o’clock baseball game.”

Down at De Anza College in Cuportino, California, a judge found Al Joseph DeGuzman (a former De Anza student) guilty on 108 felony counts for “a plot to attack De Anza College with a hail of explosives and gunfire.” I’m certainly glad they convicted the lunatic. I guess the police found 57 bombs in his room at his parents house, so he was obviously going to do some damage, if given the chance.

There were five charges he was not found guilty of.

Since the joint operating agreement between the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post took effect, it sounds like customer service has been a nightmare. According to this article (it’s at the end of the article) in an alternative weekly in Denver, a subscriber reports that he’d been “sent a bill to renew his Post subscription at $101.25 for 48 weeks. Knowing that new subscribers get a better deal, he called and tried to negotiate but was told to ‘pay up or get cut off.'” So what did he do? He signed up his dog, and saved 40 bucks.
