Return of the Daily Smile

Computers and technology in movies, or: How CSI works.
You doubt? They used to think the atom was the smallest bit of matter, but now we know better. Building blocks inside the building blocks. CSI has discovered there's more to a dot than meets the eye: The Quarkipixel!

Well, there's a reason Fragment Shaders are called Fragment Shaders and not pixel shaders. The smallest component in any 3D-object isn't the pixel... :p

I'm worried that I'm the only one who gets this joke.

How Adam Got Eve - Priceless

Adam was hanging around the garden of Eden feeling very lonely.
So, God asked him, 'What's wrong with you?'

Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to.

God said that He was going to make Adam a companion,
and that it would be a woman.

He said, 'This pretty lady will gather food for you, she will cook for you,

and when you discover clothing, she will wash them for you.

She will always agree with every decision you make and she will not nag you,
and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement.

She will praise you!

She will bear your children.
And never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them.

She will NEVER have a headache and will freely give you love and
passion whenever you need it.

Adam asked God, 'What will a woman like this cost?'


'An arm and a leg'.


Then Adam asked, "What can I get for a rib?"

Of course the rest is history. ;)

Now we all know where men get that "cheap" gene. :)

OK, new one.
See if you can figure out what these words have in common.

1. Banana
2. Dresser
3. Grammar
4. Potato
5. Revive
6. Uneven
7. Assess

Are you peeking or have you already given up?
Give it another try . Look at each word carefully.
(You'll kick yourself when you discover the answer.)
Answer:
In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word,
and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word.

As a child i lived in a big old house and i was allowed to play in an attic store room. One day an old record player fell off a shelf onto my head and knocked me out cold but doctor said i should be o.k as i was a normal healthy child and this has turned out to true, even to this day i can say with confidence it had no effect on me - on me - on me - on me.

We were out of coffee at work today.

Cousin Elly is the world's worst at getting instructions mixed up. When she got married her husband bought her one of those fancy, electric coffee makers. It had all the latest gadgets on it. Salesman Riley carefully explained how everything worked; how to plug it in, set the timer, go back to bed, and upon rising, the coffee is ready." A few weeks later Elly was back in the store and Riley asked her how she liked the coffee maker. "Wonderful!" she replied, "However, there's one thing I don't understand. Why do I have to go to bed every time I want to make a pot of coffee?"

Freddie was eighteen years old, friendly, and eager to do things right. Unfortunately, he wasn't especially bright. He had just started his first job, as a delivery boy and general go-fer at a furniture warehouse. His first task was to go out for coffee. He walked into a nearby coffee shop carrying a large thermos. When the counterman finally noticed him, he held up the thermos. "Is this big enough to hold six cups of coffee?" he said. The counterman looked at the thermos, hesitated for a few seconds, then finally said, "Yeah. It looks like about six cups to me." "Good," Freddie said. "Give me two regular, two black, and two decaf."

I met someone in the elevator who was drinking coffee and complaining about how coffee made him nervous. I said "Why don't you quit drinking coffee?" He said "Because if I didn't have the shakes, I wouldn't get any exercise at all."

pibbur - instant human, just add coffee.
 
Was sent this today and thought it perfect for someone like Cm!! :)

I love this Doctor!


Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?

A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it…don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?

A: You must grasp logistical efficiency. What does cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So steak is nothing more than efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef also good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable) And pork chop can give you 100% of recommended daily allowance of vegetable product.

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?

A: No, not at all. Wine made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that mean they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made of grain. Bottom up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?

A: Well, if you have body and you have fat, your ratio one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise
program?

A: Can't think of single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No pain…good!

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?

A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food are fried these day in vegetable oil. In fact, they permeated by it. How could getting more vegetable be bad for you?!?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?

A: Definitely not! When you exercise muscle, it get bigger You should only be doing sit-up if you want bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?

A: Are you crazy?!? HEL-LO-O!! Cocoa bean! Another vegetable! It best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?

A: If swimming good for your figure, explain whale to me..

Q: Is getting in shape important for my lifestyle?

A: Hey! 'Round' a shape!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. And remember:
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"

Corwin was kind enough to share this with me, but somehow failed to point it out to the rest of y'all. I shall remedy that unfortunate oversight.

Heh, that one sure is making the rounds. :)

Anyway, here's something I couldn't decide where to post, but it made me smile, so here goes:

[ http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/cat_how_to_draw_a_face.php ]

It all started with the drawing of a face on a cake. Like the one on Mars, mysterious and all, but on a smaller scale. Then it all developed into an amazingly cute story of nostalgia. Be sure not to skip ahead, read from the top.

That's awesome! I love it when parents give their kids unusual names like that which still sound very good. Terry Pratchett's daughter has a very cool name too.
