something you don't see every day

Imagine a kite three times the size of your house. Imagine a kite that requires a 'string' with a breaking strength of 20 tons or a dump truck to serve as anchor.

The world's biggest kite!

bad joke du jour

Mr. Bear and Mr. Rabbit didn't like each other very much. One day, while walking through the woods, and they came across a golden frog.
They were amazed when the frog talked to them. The golden frog admitted that he didn't often meet anyone, but, when he did, he always gave them six wishes. He told them that they could have 3 wishes each.

Mr. Bear immediately wished that all the other bears in the forest were females.

The frog granted his wish. Mr. Rabbit, after thinking for a while, wished for a crash helmet.

One appeared immediately, and he placed it on his head. Mr. Bear was amazed at Mr. Rabbit's wish, but carried on with his second wish.

He wished that all the bears in the neighboring forests were females as well, and the frog granted his wish.

Mr. Rabbit then wished for a motorcycle. It appeared before him, and he climbed on board and started revving the engine.

Mr. Bear could not believe it and complained that Mr. Rabbit had wasted two wishes that he could have had for himself.

Shaking his head, Mr. Bear made his final wish, that all the other bears in the world were females as well, leaving him as the only male bear in the world.

The frog replied that it had been done, and they both turned to Mr. Rabbit for his last wish.

Mr. Rabbit revved the engine, thought for a second, then said, "I wish that Mr. Bear was gay!" and rode off as fast as he could!

bad joke du jour

A big shot businessman had to spend a couple of days in the hospital. He was a major asshole to the nurses because he bossed them around just like he did his employees. None of the hospital staff wanted to have anything to do with him. The head nurse was the only one who could stand up to him. She came into his room and announced, "I have to take your temperature." After complaining for several minutes, he finally settled down, crossed his arms and opened his mouth.

"No, I'm sorry, the nurse stated, "but for this reading, I cannot use an oral thermometer." This started another round of complaining, but eventually he rolled over and bared his rear end. After feeling the nurse insert the thermometer, he heard her announce, "I have to get something. Now you stay JUST LIKE THAT until I get back."

She leaves the door to his room open on her way out. He curses under his breath as he hears people walking past his door laughing. After almost an hour, the man's doctor comes into the room. "What's going on here?" asked the doctor.

Angrily, the man answers, "What's the matter, Doc? Haven't you ever seen someone having their temperature taken?"

After a pause, the doctor confesses, "Well, no. I guess I haven't. Not with a carnation anyway."

Kelley Blue Book ripoff

Ever try to trade in a car to a dealer and find out that the value of your trade-in wasn't as high as you expected? Chances are, the dealer quoted a Kelley Blue Book number when he lowballed you.

I've suspected the KBB values were low for years now, and apparently so have others. If you'd like to see a true market value for your vehicle (and you'd be foolish not to know that before taking your car to a dealer), try looking up similar auctions on ebay, or check Edmunds pricing instead. And if a dealer shows you a Kelley Blue Book value when taking in your car, rest assured they think they're taking in a sucker.. hook, line and sinker.

Lucas With The Lid Off

One of the most creative music videos I've ever seen.Lucas With The Lid Off. The reason it's so clever is that the whole video was shot in one location in one take (altho it took 17 attempts to get it right). Because the same people appear in different 'scenes', they had to run around the camera and position themselves within a few seconds. Even though it made Lucas into a one-hit wonder, it has had a cult following ever since its debut .

Peace Activist beats up musician

IN a story reminiscent of Al Franken assaulting a protestor, a 'peace activist' doesn't get his way, and immediately resorts to violence. This time putting a 19 year old musician into a coma. As expected, the peace thug's parents rush to his side to support him, saying that the media isn't telling the whole story.

Personally, I don't think we need to know the 'whole story' when it involves some jerk cold-cocking another guy after the other guy tells him to leave his girlfriend alone. The fact that the guy is a 'peace activist' merely points out his hypocritical lifestyle.
