Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Which came first the chicken or the egg?




Well after 70 years of pondering and consideration, I finally have the answer.

I entered the supermarket and the chicken was 15 meters closer than the egg !

I found a spider. My son said "don't kill it, take it out", so I bought it a couple of beers and he was a nice guy. Turned out he was a web designer... doh

Past, present and future walk in the bar....it was tense.

Edge and Bono walk in the bar and the bartender says "Oh not U2 again"

Play is the Medicine Man

You're not designed for office life.
You're not designed to just sit there.
You're a hunter-gatherer, dammit.
That urge to get out there goes back a long way.
You need to feel the four winds.
To tell stories around a shared camp-fire.
To see the stars that will be famous for more than 15 minutes.
To leave the hubbub, humdrum and hoo-ha behind.
To listen to the stream trickle on its way.
To go to places 4x4's only get to in TV commercials.
To put some distance between you and your work.
To forget everything for a while.
To make some molehills out of mountains.
Play is best when not done to a deadline,
nor does it require a finish line.
Play is a multivitamin. Play is a de-tox. Play is head yoga.
Play is the natural enemy of stress.
Play is good. Play is great. Play is brilliant.
Play is splashing in puddles, climbing mountains,
and riding across them.
Play is juvenile, pointless and dumb.
And frankly, all the better for it.
Work is complicated. Play is simple.
Summer's coming. Go play.

"I am amazed at some of the things that you blind people are able to participate in; did you ever try sky-diving?"

Blind person: "Only one time but it scared the heck out of the dog"

This is true, sorry. :)
I have a friend who is almost completely blind and she depends on her guide dog. With extreme difficulty and a very strong magnifying glass she can just about read newspaper headlines in a good light. She took up archery and worked her way up to close to national competition standard.

I wouldn't put anything past a blind person - especially skydiving (although I doubt if it's something Jo would do for other reasons). :)

As a German speaker - I don't understand the humor in this sentence. Can someone explain it to me?

square root of 81 is 9(nine),which sounds like the german Nein (no)...

It loses something when you have to explain it.

If you sell T-shirts with that print and sell'em you can get a millionaire!
I know somebody who did and it worked out..
But maybe you're too late and a second nice phrase as idea would be necessary lol
