This is probably going to become one of the most valued pages on this site. Anything that comes to mind that I feel like sharing will go here. Hopefully it'll be something of a comical nature for everyone to get a chuckle at.

You know i think I'm falling into one of my "Moods" again here. But I got to thinking about something in general. ( I know I know) But does anyone really remember the names of any heros? I mean seriously we can all blurt off sports stars and astronauts and political figures all day long. But I want to know a true hero. Can you think of the name of the guy that took it upon himself on Sept. 11th to try and take over the plane? Me neither, We all remember the name of the guy were after though right? Osama Bin Ladin. Can't forget that.
 
So I get to thinking more and more about this. WW2 for instance. rarely is it refered to as Nato against the Allied nations. It was us against Hitler. And then Napolean, and Kahn. I'm sure I could go on and on. But I guess my point is there's never one guy as a hero only as a villian. It takes a nation or groups of nations, or even the entire free world to bring down one bad apple I guess.
 
Just seems to me that Hero's are forgotten while the true villians of history remain unscathed even after time. Seems rather depressing to me. Because for the life of me I'm sitting here thinking and I honestly can't come up with one solid person considered to be a hero, But the names of the villians in history flash through my head like a rolodex.
 
Just a thought.

1. have you ever noticed the last hour of work ALWAYS seems to last twice as long as the rest of the day?

2. Why are there directions on Shampoo?

3. The national deficet is essential the debt we owe ourselves due to government spending. Why can't we all vote and call it good. And then Quit paying taxes?

4. Have you ever noticed that when you sneeze you can't keep your eyes open?

5. If you fart in space will you just keep going?

6. Why is there experation dates on Sour Cream?

7. Have you noticed that Bottled water cost more than most other drinks on the shelves? Why? It's just water.

8. Have you ever wondered who the test people are for "Shark Proof" Suits. (where do I sign up for that?)

9. You always here that saying "9 out of 10 Dentist agree" Who's that last Dentist? and what the hell is his problem?

10. Have you ever dreamt the phone was ringing only to wake up a second before it actualy does?

11. Did you know that there's a job out there who's sole purpose is to smell armpits all day long to see if deordorant actualy works. And to top it off only women can do it due to some study that states women in general have a keener sense of smell. (and I thought my job was bad)

12. Do you know that there's some poor scmuck out there that wakes up every day knowing he's got to go in for 8 hours making paper clips all day. (I guess someone has to right?)

13. Why do we park in driveway but drive on a parkway?

14. Do you know there's more stars in the universe than grains of sand on a beach.

15. If the universe is constantly expanding what is it expanding into?

16. Did you know a twinki will never mold? and has a shelf live of 99 years. (kinda makes ya think huh?)

17. Did you know that the USA is one of the only countries in the world to look down on incest? Well at least now we all know why other countries are stupid enough to go into war with us.

18. At the rate Bill Gates makes money if he dropped a $1000 bill it would cost him more to turn around and pick it up than to just keep walking. (now where does he walk again?)

19. On the man on the moon controversy. If hubble can see millions of light years away why can't we just point that thing to moon to see the surface? That way we can all tell if the good Ol' government screwed us again.

20. Why can't the Damn rabbit have any trix??

21. Did you know that you can actualy go to prison longer for killing a dog than you can for killing a human?

Idiocracy at it's best.

Here's just some odd news I pick up from time to time. (bright people I tell ya.)

The rocket scientist

Police in Wichita, Kansas, arrested a 22-year-old man at an airport hotel after he tried to pass two (counterfeit) $16 bills.



From KENTUCKY

Two men tried to pull the front off a cash machine by running a chain from the machine to the bumper of their pickup truck. Instead of pulling the front panel off the machine, though, they pulled the bumper off their truck. Scared, they left the scene and drove home. With the chain still attached to the machine. With their bumper still attached to the chain. With their vehicle's license plate still attached to the bumper.




From ENGLAND

A German "tourist," supposedly on a golf holiday, showed at customs with his golf bag. While making idle chatter about golf, the customs official realized that the tourist did not know what a "handicap" is. The customs official asked the tourist to demonstrate his swing, which he did--backward! Narcotics were found in the golf bag.




From ARIZONA

A company called "Guns For Hire" stages gunfights for Western movies, etc. One day, they received a call from a 47-year-old woman, who wanted to have her husband killed. She got 4-1/2 years in jail.




From TEXAS

A man convicted of robbery worked out a deal to pay $9600 in damages rather than serve a prison sentence. For payment, he provided the court a check--a *forged* check. He got 10 years.



From New Jersey

A man successfully broke into a bank's basement through a street-level window, cutting himself up pretty badly in the process. He then realized that (1) he could not get to the money from where he was, (2) he could not climb back out the window through which he had entered, and (3) he was bleeding pretty badly. So he located a phone and dialed "911" for help ...




From VIRGINIA

Two men in a pickup truck went to a new-home site to steal a refrigerator. Banging up walls, floors, etc., they snatched a refrigerator from one of the houses, and loaded it onto the pickup. The truck promptly got stuck in the mud, so these brain surgeons decided that the refrigerator was too heavy. Banging up *more* walls, floors, etc., they put the refrigerator BACK into the house, and returned to the pickup truck, only to realize that they locked the keys in the truck--so they abandoned it.



From New Jersey

A man walked into a 7-11, put a $20 bill on the counter and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled--leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer? Fifteen dollars.



Angry robber

When two service station attendants in Ionia, Michigan, refused to hand over the cash to an intoxicated robber, the man threatened to call the police. They still refused, so the robber called the police and was arrested.




High speed police chase

A Los Angeles man who later said he was "tired of walking," stole a steamroller and led police on a 5 mph chase until an officer stepped aboard and brought the vehicle to a stop.



No Nukes

The Chico, California, City Council enacted a ban on nuclear weapons, setting a $500 fine for anyone detonating one within city limits. (the real question is what exactly happened to prompt this to even come about?)



Safety goggles

A company trying to continue its five-year perfect safety record showed its workers a film aimed at encouraging the use of safety goggles on the job. According to Industrial Machinery News, the film's depiction of gory industrial accidents was so graphic that twenty-five workers suffered minor injuries in their rush to leave the screening room. Thirteen others fainted, and one man required seven stitches after he cut his head falling off a chair while watching the film. (ISO-9000 at it's best)



Gopher Problem

Three janitors at an elementary school in Ceres, California, tried to freeze a gopher to death by spraying it with a solvent that freezes gum and wax so it can be peeled or chipped away. Jeff Davis, 35, said he and his colleagues had sprayed several cans of the gum remover on the gopher inside a small, poorly ventilated utility room with the doors closed when one of them tried to light a cigarette. Sparks from the lighter ignited the solvent, causing an explosion that blew the janitors out of the utility room, sending them and 16 pupils to the hospital. The gopher survived and was later released in a field. Ceres Unified School District Superintendent Bruce Newlin commented that the men "used extraordinarily poor judgment." (And I bet these guy used to bitch about how much they made too)

Betcha don't see this everyday

IThe crew of a trawler that sank in the Sea of Japan claimed their ship went down after "being struck by a cow which fell out of the clear blue sky". According to Flying magazine, no one believed this absurd explanation-- except the Russian military. It seems that the crew of a military cargo jet had stolen a cow they found wandering on a Siberian airfield, and loaded it aboard. While cruising at 30,000 feet, the terrified cow ran amok and jumped out of the plane...


These are all things just to give people a moment to think "Oh yeaaaaaa" I hope it helps.
