I'm a Honda S2000!


You live on the edge, and you live for the adrenaline rush. You don't need luxuries, snob appeal, or superfluous gadgets. You put your top down, get your motor revving, and take all the curves that life throws at you at full speed. So what if you spin out occasionally?

COW - Programming for Bovines

The COW programming language was designed with the bovine in mind. Given that cows have somewhat limited vocabulary skills, it seemed natural to incorporate only the words they know into the language.

As a result, all instructions are some variation on 'moo' which just so happens to be the only word they really understand.

Geek alert

Apparently the old Mozilla code has had new life breathed on it by the SeaMonkey Council. The result is Mozilla 1.8 an app that runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS-X. Some of the features include:
  • SVG vector graphics support (without plug-ins)

  • "tab re-ordering": tabs can be rearranged by drag and drop

  • "Autoscroll" support - middle clicking on empty space allows scrolling by moving the mouse

  • Can set the e-mail client to use a single "Inbox" folder

  • "Roaming Profiles": store your complete user profile in a remote server (FTP, LAN share, etc)

  • Auto save draft messages in the e-mail client

  • Caching improved. Hitting the "Back" button shows previous pages much faster

  • See and retrieve original (source) URLs from the download manager's list of previously downloaded files

Most dangerouse hamlet in the UK

Mail deliveries to a hamlet with just three residents have been suspended after safety experts picked out 23 potential hazards for the postman.

A stile, farmyard and a dry stone wall were among the possible "dangers" in a Postcomm health and safety report.

The inhabitants of Cefn Minog in Monmouthshire now have to travel to the post office to pick up their mail.

Joke

A little boy and his grandfather are raking leaves in the yard. The boy finds an earthworm exiting its hole in the ground.

He says, "Grandpa, I bet I can put that worm back in that hole."

The grandfather replies, "I'll bet you £5 you can't. It's too wiggly and limp to put back in that little hole."

The lad runs into the house and comes back out with a can of hair spray. He sprays the worm until it is straight and stiff as a board.

Then he puts the worm back into the hole.

The grandfather hands the little boy £5, grabs the hairspray, and runs into the house. Thirty minutes later the grandfather comes back out and hands the little lad another £5.

"Grandpa, you already gave me £5."

The grandfather replies, "I know. That's from your grandma."

Jesus Toy

Know someone that has a religious bent and you care enough for them to want to buy them a gift? One that's just that bit special? One that every time they look at it they'll think of you? Then look no further because Divine Interventions have just such personal gifts. Most christian religious figures are covered in their range including Jesus, God, Bhudda and even a Grim Reaper.

Brings a new meaning to I've found Jesus and he's in me.

Oh yeah, probably NSFW

Joke

A man is wandering around town when he notices his watch has stopped working.
He comes across a tiny shop window with a display of clocks and watches so he goes inside.

He asks the clearly Jewish proprietor if he can fix his watch.

"No", he says, "I don't do any thing like that."

Confused, the man asks why he has a window display of clocks and watches but doesn't do that sort of work.

The proprietor replies "I'm a a doctor. I perform circumcisions. What would you like me to put in the window?"

Goose gets drunk

Goose came home from the pub late one Friday evening stinko drunk, as he often did, and crept into bed beside his wife who was already asleep. He gave a peck on the cheek and fell asleep. When he awoke he found a strange man standing at the end of his bed wearing a long flowing white robe.

"Who the hell are you?" demanded Goose, "and what are you doing in my bedroom?".

The mysterious Man answered "This isn't your bedroom and I'm St Peter".

Goose was stunned "You mean I'm dead!!! That can't be, I have so much to live for, I haven't said goodbye to my family .... you've got to send me back straight away".

St Peter replied "Yes you can be reincarnated but there is a catch. We can only send you back as a dog or a goose." Goose was devastated, but knowing there was a farm not far from his house, he asked to be sent back as a goose. A flash of light later he was covered in feathers and honking around pecking the ground. "This ain't so bad" he thought until he felt this strange feeling welling up inside him.

The farmyard gander strolled over and said "So you're the new goose, how are you enjoying your first day here?"

"It's not so bad" replies Goose, "but I have this strange feeling inside like I'm about to explode".

"You're ovulating" explained the gander, "don't tell me you've never laid an egg before".

"Never" replies Goose

"Well just relax and let it happen"

And so he did and after a few uncomfortable seconds later, an egg pops out from under his tail. An immense feeling of relief swept over him and his emotions got the better of him as he experienced motherhood for the first time. When he laid his second egg, the feeling of happiness was overwhelming and he knew that being reincarnated as a goose was the best thing that ever happened to him ... ever!!!

The joy kept coming and as he was just about to lay his third egg he felt an enormous smack on the back of his head and heard his wife shouting ............

"Goose, wake up you drunken bastard, you're shitting all over the bed"

Joke

A beautiful woman was walking down the street when she was approached by a man. The man said, "You are perfection, I must have you right now! I'll drop £500 on the ground at your feet and in the time it takes for you to pick it up I can have had my way with you roughly from behind!"

The woman thought it over and told the man to wait a minute. She called her friend on her mobile phone and told her about the man's proposition.

Her girlfriend said, "He's an idiot, take it cos when he drops the £500 on the ground I'm sure you can pick it up and run before he even gets his pants down."

Call me back and tell me what happened." The friend says.

An hour and a half later the lady had still not called back so her friend called her, "Well? What happened?" the friend asked.

The lady said, "The fucker had it all in 50p's"

Did you know ...

Turtles can breathe through their butts.

Blond Joke (I think)

A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. She says she's going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce. The car is parked on the street in front of the bank, she has the title and everything checks out. The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan!

The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then proceeds to drive the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the blonde returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

The blonde replies . . "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"
