That Gives Me the Red Arse!


I was looking over some stuff today & ran across something that needed to be shared. A woman is now suing Denny's (restaurant) because of a chemical burn she suffered on her butt after using the bathroom. Appearantly, she couldn't see the chemicals on the seat, but felt them immediately after sitting down. Hrm. Frivolous lawsuit...careless pooper?

A few things need to be considered.
1. What does Denny's use to clean their toilets? I want to know. That would make for a good prank.
2. Who in their right mind sits down on a Denny's toilet without a seat cover? Either someone looking to file a suit, or someone about to soil their suit. I hope the latter. This is good stuff.

The woman has supposedly suffered nerve damage (I don't see how this could happen...even if she was huge) and is in constant pain. How would you respond if you were Denny's? Or, what would you like to say to this ladie?

The Amazing Space Race


The amazing space race. Yes, the one where we beat the mother russians...remember? Me neither. Anyway, I haven't paid too much attention to the latest space endevour, but I knew that the first launch attempt was cancelled due to a fuel gauge malfunction. Not a big deal right? Well if the fuel gauge read empty during "liftoff," the tanks would jetison off the shuttle, leaving the shuttle to fall back to the surface. Hrm... Pretty wise move to cancel.

Well, they're now in space, but guess what the gauge is still broken & they were pretty sure it wouldn't result in a big fireball over who knows what state. Lucky guess. Now I hear that during takeoff there was debris spotted falling off the shuttle. It seems as if they may have encountered the same "tile" problem that scattered the last shuttle across 4 states upon re-entry. What the heck. I was wondering what the astronauts are thinking about now... I sure wouldn't be looking forward to coming home. Where is Bruce Willis when you need him to save their NASA arses? Lemme think...he is probably with his 18 year old girlfriend... What is this world coming to???

The Noise I Make

If you've been on this planet for any period of time, you've encountered noise...some good & some not so good. The not so good noise seems to permeate almost every aspect of life & what sucks is that most of this "noise" comes from people that surround us (I'm not excluding myself from sometimes being part of the noise-makers).

I'm reminded of a story I heard when I was a kid about this king who loved noise & regardless of what time it was, some sort of noise could be heard. He got this bright idea that he would command everyone to make a loud noise in unison & it would be the loudest noise ever. So he commanded that it be done & word spread of the decree. One guy got a bright idea that if he didn't make any noise, he would be able to hear what the loudest noise ever sounded like. To keep it short, he told a couple of his buddies & word began to spread of the plan. When the time came to make noise, everyone was silent because they wanted to hear the loudest noise ever. There was silence & the king soon realized how great silence was.

I don't want to be just another person adding to the noise. When you speak try to say something. It's better to be thought an idiot than to open your mouth & remove all doubt.
