A Primer On The Length Of Life Of Empires…

This video illustrates how empires decay and devolve and what a short time it takes for a seemingly invincible empire to become just another nation. Examples not shown are The Soviet Empire and the American Empire. But history won’t be cheated… All empires fall.

The data refers to the evolution of the top 4 maritime empires of the XIX and XX centuries by extent. The visual emphasis is on their decline.

The President Goes To Hell…

George Bush has a heart attack and dies.

He goes to hell where the devil is waiting for him.

“I don’t know what to do here,” says the devil. “You’re on my list but I have no room for you, but you definitely have to stay here, so I’ll tell you what I’m going to do. I’ve got 3 people here who weren’t quite as bad as you. I’ll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I’ll even let YOU decide who leaves.”

George thought that sounded pretty good, so he agreed.

The devil opened the first room. In it was Richard Nixon and a large pool of water. He kept diving in and surfacing empty handed over and over and over. Such was his fate in hell. “No!” George said. “I don’t think so. I’m not a good swimmer and don’t think I could do that all day long.”

The devil led him to the next room. In it was Tony Blair with a sledgehammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time. “No! I’ve got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day!” commented George.

The devil opened a third door. In it, George saw Bill Clinton lying naked on the floor with his arms staked over his head and his legs staked in spread eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. George Bush looked at this in disbelief for a while and finally said, “Yeah, I can handle this.”

The devil smiled and said….

“Monica, you’re free to go!”

Human Shaped Root…

root boy

Baffled scientists are trying to get to the root of this astonishing plant dug out of the ground by a Chinese farmer.

The two foot tall root weighs in at a massive 12 lbs and bears an amazing resemblance to a boy in even the smallest detail.

The root comes from the Chinese knotweed plant, used by local healers as a natural laxative.

Farmer Zheng Dexun, 63, of Datianba, in southern China, said: “I was shocked that it was so large and is so clearly like a boy.

“It’s bigger than my grandson. Scientists are looking at it now and will tell me how it came to be like this.”

How to Be A Thorough A**Hole…

Most Of These Take More Cojones Than I’ve Got… But I’d Like To Hear If You Decide To Try A Few… (especially if you end up in a fight!)

  1. When the proverbial airline meal is served, tip the salad concoction into the ‘little bag’, without being seen, then make violent and disgusting retching sounds into the bag, and finally start happily eating your salad out of the ‘little bag’.
  2. If you’re staying in a hotel for a business conference, sneak out after everyone has gone to bed and place several pairs of men’s shoes outside the doors of the single women staying in the hotel, but leave one of them with no men’s shoes outside it.
  3. Try to grow a few obnoxious weeds on your side of the fence and then gradually train these to grow through or under it into the neighbor’s garden.
  4. Travel during the peak periods with huge boxes and parcels and put these on seats next to you when you sit down.
  5. Put foreign coins in the collection box at church. (If it’s a collection plate, put down a note and take change.)
  6. If you find someone driving right on your tail, try varying your speed but always speed up when they are trying to get past.
  7. Walk along as if you have stepped in something un-pleasant, by pretending to scrape your feet along the pavement or rubbing your soles on any available patches of grass. Then look daggers at anyone walking a dog.
  8. Stand in front of the automatic exit doors at the mall so that anyone trying to come past, laden down with shopping, has to struggle past and force their way through a narrow gap.

He Married A Woman From Arkansas… Jean Sends…

Arkansas Wife

Three men married wives from different states.

The first man married a woman from Washington . He told her that she was to do the dishes and house cleaning.  It took a couple of days, but on the third day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.

The second man married a woman from Wyoming . He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn’t see any results, but the next day he saw it was better.. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done and there was a huge dinner on the table.

The third man married a girl from Arkansas . He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn’t see anything, the second day he didn’t see anything but by the third day, some of the puffiness had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher.

Man Faces 2nd Arrest For Sex With A Horse… Gives Horse An STD… Apparently Not A Very “Stable” Relationship…

From : The Charlotte Observer

A Conway, S.C., woman who had video surveillance of a man having sexual intercourse with one of her horses said she found the suspect behind her barn Monday night and pointed a shotgun at his head until police arrived and arrested him.

Rodell Vereen, 50, of Longs, is charged with buggery and trespassing after Barbara Kenley, who owns Lazy B Stables on Coates Road in the Wampee section of Horry County, told officers she had video of the suspect having sex with a horse then wanted to catch him at her barn.

It is the second time Vereen, who works for a landscaping company, has been charged with having sex with a horse at Lazy B Stables. Vereen pleaded guilty to buggery on July 21, 2008 and was sentenced to three years probation, ordered to undergo mental health counseling, and told not to go near Lazy B Stables after he was caught having sex with a horse on Thanksgiving Day of 2007, according to the 15th Judicial Circuit.

“I have a false sense of security right now,” Kenley said. “When they arrested him before I thought that was the end of it. Now all of my insecurities are back. I can’t go out there at certain times because I am afraid.”

Kenley said Vereen was having sex with a 21-year-old horse named Sugar. Kenley said the horse is being treated for infections related to the incidents.

Kenley told officers she had video of Vereen “having relations” with one of her horses on July 19, according to a police report. “I had given police surveillance video before and they weren’t able to identify him,” Kenley said. “And I wanted to catch him firsthand. It was just a matter of time before I caught him.”

Internet Myth… Mars Comes Close To Earth On 9/27/09…

on August 27 2009 Mars is due to come as close to Earth as the Moon. Apparently the next time it will come this close will be in 2287 and the last time it did was over 5000 years ago. Astronomers have been quick to point out that this is completely untrue, and say that the closest thing to this spectacle actually came and went in 2003. This is a relief as other tale tellers say that if Mars were to come as close to the Earth as the Moon it would wreak havoc with the tidal pulls and we could end up with storms and tsunamis.
