CALLING ALL ALIEN ABDUCTEES!!!

August 14th 2008 16:22
You know what - I'm not even going to write my own interpretation of today's little number - instead I'll let you figure it out for yourself from what the makers have to say........but feel free to make your own judgements - I just wouldn't know where to start with this one!

earth earthlings
"Picture yourself lost in the galaxy...UFO sightings and Alien Abductions are on the rise...Will you return to tell the story?

In case of alien abduction these dog tags may save your life. The crucial data an alien will need to get you back to Earth is die stamped into these dog tags.

The design is based on NASA research for the Pioneer 10 Space Mission that used a gold plaque attached to the craft to inform any Extraterrestrials of it's Earthly origin.
Very handy for those pesky Alien Abductions.

Engraved with several methods of locating Earth in the Galaxy, an alien pilot does not need to
understand any human language to use this information. The mathematical location of Earth........"
if you really want to know the rest, just follow this link to Earth Dog Tags!

Replacing Mouse Balls!

This reportedly was a real memo sent by Logitech during the late 1980's. As I've actually set this post up in a hurry in advance due to being on holiday, I haven't had time to check it's authenticity as yet, but it's still good for a laugh regardless.
Supposedly it was sent to all field engineers about a computer peripheral problem. The author of this memo was quite serious. The engineers rolled on the floor!

If Operating Systems Were Beers!

beer
OK, you'll notice from the start that it is a little more than outdated, but for those of us who remember the 'good old days' of computers and operating systems, it should still give a chuckle!

And of course I'm open to suggestions about what today's 'beers' are really like!

Yes, you heard me correctly, fart deodorisers!

Even though many studies in the past have shown that humans are not particularly good at restraining themselves when it comes to self-gratification, psychologist Gian Gonzaga ran a study involving invited 60 heterosexual undergraduates who had been in relationships for at least three years.

With so many people living all over the world and with so much of our planet consisting of water, if you had to make a guess at the world time zone in which most people live, where do you imagine it would be?

You not only have to balance out water and land versus population, but also where those populations actually exist, that is to say that while it's fine to say that Australia only has 21 million people as the Australian Bureau of Statistics is now claiming, the majority live along the coastal areas due to the inhospitable nature of Australia's arid interior.

ISP Providers OR NON-Providers???

December 2nd 2007 09:47
It's nice to have internet access back again, although I must be quick - who knows how long it will actually last for!

Today you can quibble about whether or not I'm stating a fact or merely an observation, but it's pathetic when an internet service provider (ISP) not only cannot provide you the service you pay for, but then charges like a wounded bull for you to ring them and tell them their service isn't working and what on earth is wrong with it this time. Even more so, when they cannot actually tell you because as my dear husband pointed out, their head has no idea what their arse is doing. I won’t mention the company by NAME….

Watching chickens hatch out of their small cramped living space can be a fascinating thing to watch.

While over here visiting the UK and looking at primary schools, I've stumbled across one school in particular who has, along with another school, purchased an incubator and is currently hatching out eggs.
