xaphod Posted October 10, 2003 Author Share Posted October 10, 2003 Rock group 'Hell on Earth' has said it will go ahead with an on-stage suicide during a concert in Florida. Local councillors say they believe it is a publicity stunt, but still passed a new bylaw banning suicide for commercial or entertainment purposes.

Bubba136 Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 don't you believe that a suicide is a little over the top? When you're dead, you are dead......and will stay dead for ever....no fast rewinds or instant replays...you're dead. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

PJ Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 "If I were standing any closer to you, I would be behind you." --- Groucho Marx I used to have a cartoon above my work area. In it, two engineers were working on a complex lab project. Looking at the large collection of electronic equipment and components they were working with, one of the engineers said to the other engineer, "You know, engineering wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for all this technical stuff." click .... click .... click ....

xaphod Posted December 17, 2003 Author Share Posted December 17, 2003 I was at the 'Age of Enlightenment' exhibition at the British Museum yesterday. I was amused by this note on an exhibit, a stick about 50cm long and 2cm square with notches carved across it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From 1100 to 1826, tally sticks were used to record payments of taxes and other money into the Royal Treasury. Wooden sticks were notched with a record of payment and then split in half lengthways, one half given to the collector and the other kept as a receipt for payment. In 1834 there were so many in the store at Westminster, that they were largely responsible for feeding the fire that burnt down the previous Houses of Parlaiment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .... hey guys, it's Tax Return time again in the UK. I wonder what would happen if we all sent back our returns on the most inflammable stuff we could find? .... heh heh. Xa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often wondered what the IRS would do if everyone wrote their returns with disappearing ink. But, I think flamable stuff would be better.

xaphod Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 From today's Independent ..... with a minor edit. After the 'dodgy dossier' affair, when Downing Street borrowed information about Iraq's weapons from a doctoral thesis on the internet, you might have thought the Whitehall johnnies would have learned a lesson. Not so. When a senior Foreign Office official gave a presentation about European enlargement this week, he admitted to having started his preparations by looking up 'enlargement' on the internet. He found, to his amazement, thousands of entries - but not about the kind of enlargement he was looking for. His wife, he said, was not pleased.

xaphod Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Bubba .... just type 'enlargement' into Google .... you'll soon find out. Actually, I'm surprised about the amount of 'European enlargement' that comes up. I wonder, could the Euro bods be trying to create a blizzard of pro-Euro chaff to swamp any voice of opposition. Politics aside, here's something lighter, just to even up my political bias. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Love is like measles .... you can get it only once and the later in life it occurs, the tougher it is.
