George Carlin is 65!

George Carlin turned 65 yesterday, so in tribute, some great quotes by this king of comedy:

  • Never raise your hands to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected.

  • I’m not into working out. My philosophy is no pain, no pain.

  • I’m in shape. Round is a shape.

  • I’m desperately trying to figure out why Kamikaze pilots wore helmets.

  • Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?

  • I’ve always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific.

  • Ever notice when you blow in a dog’s face he gets mad at you, but when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window?

  • Ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

  • You have to stay in shape. My mother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She’s 97 now and we have no idea where she is.

  • I have six locks on my door, all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three of them.

  • One out of every three Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of two of your best friends. If they are OK, then it must be you.

  • They show you how detergents take out bloodstains. I think if you’ve got a T-shirt with bloodstains all over it, maybe your laundry isn’t your biggest problem.

  • Ask people why they have deer heads on their walls and they tell you it’s because they’re such beautiful animals. I think my wife is beautiful, but I only have photographs of her on the wall.

  • A lady came up to me on the street, pointed at my suede jacket and said, “Don’t you know a cow was murdered for that jacket?” I said “I didn’t know there were any witnesses. Now I’ll have to kill you too.”

  • Future historians will be able to study at the Jimmy Carter Library, the Gerald Ford Library, the Ronald Reagan Library, and the Bill Clinton Adult Bookstore.

    Famous FBI Files

    Interested in the FBI Files on Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Henry Ford, Lucille Ball, and other famous folk contain? Wonder no more as the FBI has made the information public knowledge (you have to love the freedom of information act).

    Drink the rainbow of flavors

    First Vanilla Coke, then Pepsi Blue, now Dr. Pepper is launching a drink called Red Fusion. I’m sure all that artificial coloring can’t be good for you. It’s going to make walking down the soda aisle at the store a bit nauseating with all the colors.

    Glad I don’t live near these

    While I’m a firm believer in modern nuclear-power (they’ve said that new systems could power the entire city of New York for a year and put out the amount of waste the size of a tennis ball), I’m really glad I don’t live near any of the older reactors that have problems.

    “Whoa…look at the body at that…”

    This is slowly going to become more and more common — ad getting put in places they normally shouldn’t. Companies are paying to have them included in actual TV shows, plugged by the host, etc… . It’s hitting the magazine world, too, and one of the most well known regular features in any magazine is the Playboy centerfold. Well, in the June issue, they plan on moving the centerfold, and replacing it with a BMW ad.

    And no, I’m not kidding.

    A real periodic “table”

    This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while.

    From the site:

    In the well over a century since its invention by Dr. Mendeleev, the world has consistently failed to notice the word “Table” clearly contained in the name “Periodic Table”, and has insisted in printing it on paper, hanging it on the wall, putting it in the back of chemistry textbooks, and generally doing all kinds of things with it that having nothing to do with being a table.

    So what does the guy do? Build an actual table, complete with removable elements, with samples behind them.

    Check it out here.
