Flamboyant cuttlefish are amazing, the only creature with electric skin!
Scientists are using the same technology to develop see-through skin for soldiers:

A pizza vending machine!
Just what we need a pizza vending machine!
Made for Italy, but watch, it will soon be available for Americans to get fatter!

Presidential $100m budget costs - in perspective
Well, 10 million in budget cuts sounds big, until you see it in-scale:
The McAfrika Fiasco!
The socialist snobs in Norway have done it again, creating a McAfrika sandwich for McDonalds!
The McAfrika - For that great African taste
What's next, the McEthiopia burger, nothing between the bun?
Or The McSomalia burger, a priates dream. . . .
Me, I like the idea of the McRedneck burger, a possum pattie nestled between two Krispy Kreme doughnuts:

Help prevent florist friars . . .
Once upon a time there was a quaint little village where all the villagers lived in peace and happiness.
Then one day a couple of Friars moved into town and opened a florist shop. In the back yard they kept a man eating plant.
A couple of local kids climbed the fence and the plant ate them.
The villagers were infuriated and demanded the Friars move out but nothing they could do would make them leave. Then they got Hugh, the village blacksmith to kick them out and everyone was happy again.
The moral to this story:
Hugh, and only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

Eating Hot Dog cables
What a clever idea! What a great idea for feeding kids!
You simply thrust dried noodles through hot dog slices (or puppy peters) for a quick redneck kiddie treat!
I gotta remember this for when the grandkids start coming . . .
I wish they would get busy and start reproducing . . . .
Thanks TYWKIWDBI

Grayson Murray – The Bobby Jones of the 21st Century?
I was watching Antiques Roadshow last week and I got offended when somebody said that Bobby Jones was the Tiger Woods of the 20th century!
In reality, it’s Tiger Woods who is the Bobby Jones of the 21st Century.
Bobby Jones was an amazing golfer, in his day, the best swing on the planet:
In his day, Bobby Jones played gold regularly with President Eisenhower, and enjoyed huge fame.
Tiger is a billionaire and he has a smoking-hot Swedish trophy wife, but how long will be hold-on to his titles?
Enter Grayson Murray of Raleigh North Carolina, who as a 9 year old child who had only been golfing for a few years was already shoots in the 70’s. At 15, he stands poised to challenge Tiger's records:
Grayson Murray - The next tiger?
Tiger Woods was coached by his Dad (a retired Army Lt. Col), and while he was a prodigy, this Grayson kid has him beat already!
Tiger was quoted as saying “people may out play me, but nobody will out-practice me”, a great testament that becoming a great golfer is far more than raw talent.
Grayson is already challenging Tigers records, and he may break Tigers record in 2009:
“Only three other boys have ever won three junior worlds in a row, a trio of names that includes one Eldrick “Tiger” Woods.
And, while Tiger and the other two “three-peaters” would all eventually win four in a row, Murray’s victory in July makes him a perfect three-for-three thus far in his young career — and Murray now has his goal squarely set on equaling his predecessors feat with a four-peat of his own in 2009”.
Make no mistake, I’m a fan of Grayson because he is a home town North Carolina boy, but by golly, any kid who can become a scratch golfer in 18 months is mighty impressive.
Will Grayson fall by the wayside?
Unless he REALLY WANTS IT and practices relentlessly, no amount of raw talent will beat Tiger.

Business etiquette for professionals
Business etiquette for professionals is not natural and cries of "Mind your manners" can ruin a business meeting.
I’ve always been fascinated by social customs and business etiquette, and MBA schools are now teaching young professionals proper manners. Business etiquette changes over time!
In the early 19th century it was proper to pour tea into your saucer and slurp it directly, and then wipe your lips on the tablecloth!
Picking a good source is business etiquette is important, stick with American etiquette, oif you want good manners:
Pick an American source for proper etiquette
My young MBA’s don’t learn important business etiquette in MBA schools these days, and they often commit a faux paux like choosing a funky wine for dinner:
Don’t choose a wine just because it has a high tech name
All business professionals should learn business golf etiquette, as many business meetings are conducted on the golf links these days.

The Peapod Car
With those Smart cars littering the highways after being creamed by SUV’s, some genius thinks we need an even smaller car!
If you want to look really, really gay, or if you are from Europe, this is the car for you:
The PeaPod
It’s made by GEM, the same people who made my GEM golf cart. Come to think of it, the PeaPod looks like a golf cart, not something I would take on a real road.
