Christian the lion

In 1969 a young Australian, John Rendall and his friend Ace Bourke, bought a small lion cub from Harrods pet department, which was then legal. ‘Christian’ was kept in the basement of a furniture shop on the Kings Road in Chelsea, the heart of the swinging sixties. Loved by all, the affectionate cub ate in a local restaurant, played in a nearby graveyard, but was growing fast…

A chance encounter with Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna led to a new life for Christian. He came to live in an enclosure and slept in a caravan at their Surrey home. Then in 1971 he was flown to Kenya, his ancestral home, and returned to the wild by lion-man George Adamson. Almost a year later in 1972, John and Ace returned to Kora in Kenya and it is their reunion with Christian at this time that is shown in the clip.

It was an emotional reunion: “He ran towards us, threw himself onto us, knocked us over and hugged us, with his paws on our shoulders.”

Married Women Hate Sex

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 18:25:14 GMT

clipper's remarks: Also, according to our survey:
• 23% of the women who have sex do it because they love their husbands and want to make him happy.
• 49% of the women have sex because they want it.
• 26% of the women surveyed say their sex lives took a turn for the worst after they had children.

Even momogic contributor and sex therapist Dr. Shannon Fox was surprised by the results of our survey. "It is sad to see that half of the women polled described their sex lives as depressing, embarrassing or a hassle. That is a lot of unhappy women! That means that even the women who are having sex more often aren't happy with the quality of the sex they are having."

Married Women Hate Sex

Sexless marriage: Millions of moms are in one, yet it's taboo to talk about it. Momlogic asked 2,500 married women to reveal the dirty details about their sex lives after marriage and we were shocked by what we found--half found sex to be a depressing, embarrassing or a hassle! PLUS: Three moms and a deprived husband share their stories of sexless marriage. AND: Expert advice for spicing up your relationship.

The most eye-opening findings:

50% of women find sex either depressing, embarrassing or a hassle: We also found out that although 77% of the women claim their sex life is somewhat to very important to them, 54% of married women admit they're the ones who don't want to have sex.

According to 29% of married women, they're just too tired: Not too surprising--at least to those of us with young kids-- that this was the main reason women say they don't want to have sex.

What would women rather do than have sex?

take a bubble bath.

Continuing my search for The Craziest Shoes From Around The World, here are the next 23 weird shoes I found. Some of these include heelless heels, gadget shoes, fish shoes, convertible heels, and built-in alarm platforms to scare off all those attackers (what a fantastic idea).

Personally, I like the umbrella shoes.

15 Creative Ways To Get Revenge

1. Revenge on a dirty roommate - using a hairdryer blow flour or powder under their door to give everything an awesome white coat…

2. Revenge on a neighbor - write a nasty message on your target’s lawn in weed killer, they’ll never get rid of the bald patches…

3. Revenge on anyone who doesn’t live with you - put gelatin down your target’s toilet, in a few days it’ll get solid…

4. When your roommate goes away, water his/her carpet and sow mustard and cress seeds for a lush shag pile…

5. Revenge on a neighbor - replace weed killer with plant food - they’ll curse their green fingers…

6. Float unwrapped chocolate bars and toilet paper in your neighbor’s pool…

7. Get as many alarm clocks as possible, set them for different times throughout the night and hide them on your roommate’s room…

8. Fill your coworker’s umbrella or coat hood with hole-punch waster, or even better four for a sudden blizzard…

9. Take your friend’s bike, get a ladder and raise it

6 Management Lessons of Life

Lesson 1

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour.
Before she says a word, Bob says, ‘I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.’
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, ‘Who was that?’
‘It was Bob the next door neighbour,’ she replies.
‘Great,’ the husband says, ‘did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?’
Moral of the story
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

WHEN INSULTS HAD CLASS

Just received these in an email and couldn’t resist putting them up here. These glorious insults are from an era before the English language got boiled down to 4-letter words, including some gems from three of my favorite linguists Winston Churchill, Oscar Wilde and Benjamin Disraeli

The exchange between Churchill & Lady Astor: She said, “If you were my husband I’d give you poison.” He said, “If you were my wife, I’d drink it.”

An exchange between John Wilkes and the Earl of Sandwich (both English Parliamentarians of the 18th century):

–The Earl: “Egad, sir, I do not know whether you will die at the gallows or of the pox.”

–Wilkes: “That will depend, my Lord, on whether I embrace your principles or your women.” (thanks to Nick for the correction!)

“He had delusions of adequacy.” - Walter Kerr

“He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.” - Winston Churchill

Choosing A Wife

There is a man who has three girlfriends, but he does not know
which one to marry. So he decides to give each one $5000 and see how
each of them spends it.

The first one goes out and gets a total makeover with the money.
She gets new clothes, a new hairdo, manicure, pedicure, the works, and
tells the man, “I spent the money so I could look pretty for you,
because I love you so much.”

The second one went out and bought new golf clubs, a CD player, a
television and a stereo and gives them to the man. She says, “I bought
these gifts for you with the money because I love you so much.”

The third one takes the $5000 and invests it in the stock market,
doubles her investment, returns the $5000 to the man and reinvests the
rest. She says, “I am investing the rest of the money for our future
because I love you so much.”

The man thought long and hard about how each of the women spent

the money. He finally decided to marry the one with the biggest tits.

Friendly Neighborhood Cop

I went to the store the other day, and I was in there for only about 5 minutes.

When I came out there was a motorcycle cop writing a parking ticket.

So I went up to him and said, ‘Come on, buddy, how about giving a guy a break?’

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.

So I called him a pencil-necked Nazi.

He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tyres!

So I called him a piece of horse shit.

He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.

Then he started writing a third ticket!

This went on for about 20 minutes.

The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

I didn’t care.

My car was parked around the corner.

I try to have a little fun each day.

It’s important.

The Tea Party

When I was a toddler, someone had given me a little Tea Set as a gift, and it was one of my favorite toys.

Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought him a little cup of “tea” which was just water, of course.

After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home. My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch his little Princess bring him a cup of tea, because it was, “Just the cutest thing!”

My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy.

She watches him drink it up and then says, “Did it ever occur to you that the only place that a toddler can reach to get water is the toilet?”

WOMAN’S PERFECT BREAKFAST

She’s sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee.
Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box.
Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week.
Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl.
And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.

WOMEN’S REVENGE

“Cash, check or charge?” I asked, after folding items the
woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet
I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse.
“So, do you always carry your TV remote?” I asked.
“No,” she replied, “but my husband refused to come shopping with me,
so I figured this was the most legal evil thing I could do to him.”

UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
(A MAN’S PERSPECTIVE)

I know I’m not going to understand women.
I’ll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,
pour it onto your upper thigh,
rip the hair out by the root,
and still be afraid of a spider.

Spare Change? Hilarious Panhandling Signs

We all know our country is heading into the financial crapper. But things could be worse. Imagine if you rely solely on other people’s generosity to live. When you only have three seconds to argue your need for spare change, you have to stand out and get a little creative.
