Stand Out From The Rest

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:47:10 GMT

clipped by: Q-tips
clipper's remarks: It's really not easy to stand out of the rest or to be different from all. It takes a lot to stand for oneself against the view of all around. And that's makes all the difference. Just one other thing if you stand & the rest are still sitting its wise to sit back, & remember, if something is different, that doesn't need to be useful or important always.

Icebergs Comes In Stripes.

The Norwegian sailor Oyvind Tangen when on a research in the Antartic, came across unusual black lines striped through an iceberg.

Most of them appear white due to the tiny bubbles within them that scatter light in all directions. When a crevice in the ice sheet or a part of an iceberg melts and quickly refreezes, then bubbles are not formed and it can appear blue.

When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can form ice on its underside. If that is rich in algae, it can form a green stripes. Brown, black and yellow lines are formed by sediments, that might be picked up when the ice sheet is on its way downhill towards the sea.

The Man Who Invented Almost Everything

Before the light bulb lit up in his laboratory, before he pioneered the power station, before he recorded "Mary had a little lamb" in the first practical phonograph, before he made motion pictures work and then made motion pictures, before 1,000 or so other inventions and improvements great and small, Edison invented the mimeograph.

1876: Thomas Edison receives a patent for the mimeograph. It will dominate the world of small-press-run publication for a century.

Those of us who are old enough to remember the mimeo can probably conjure up the smell of its ink -- especially ink for the Dittograph or spirit duplicator, which handled the smaller press runs. Those who actually used to "run things off" on the machines probably remember the look and feel of its sometimes-delicate stencils. Those who are younger may not even know how the word is pronounced. It's MIM-EE-oh-graf, not MYME-oh-graf or MEEM-oh-graf. Ask your parents.

SACRAMENTO, CA - Four-year-old Michael Ramirez's cat Dottie had a litter of six kittens on Easter. Two of the kittens were born on Saturday night, and the final four were born early Sunday morning.

So far, not so unusual. But one of the black and white kitties does have "unusual" markings - a message of love for its mother Dottie,

According to Ramirez, the kitten's side reads, "I Love Dot."

"We waited for the fur to dry and we saw it and it surely said, 'I love Dot,'"

The Love Story of Ralph and Edna

clipper's remarks: Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool. Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.

Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.

"Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?"

Housecleaning??

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 21:03:55 GMT

Clip Source: forums.worldofwarcraft.com

I asked the Lord to tell me
Why my house is such a mess.
He asked if I'd been 'computering' ,

And I had to answer, "yes."

He told me to get off my fanny
And tidy up the house.
And so I started cleaning up...

The smudges off my mouse.

I wiped and shined the topside.
That really did the trick...
I was just admiring my work...

I didn't mean to 'click.'

But click, I did, and oops I found
A real absorbing site
That I got SO way into...

I was into it all night.<<Sigh>>

Nothing's changed except my mouse
It's very, very shiny.
I guess my house will stay a mess...

While I sit here on my hiney.
