fun-stuff: guys are cool because

Girls are cool too, in their own peculiar way, but someone (probably a guy) has gone over a lot of trouble to create this great list. I just wished I knew who wrote the original list. If you are the one then tell me and I’ll link back to you:

  • A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.
  • At least a few belches are expected and tolerated.
  • Car mechanics tell you the truth.
  • Christmas shopping can be accomplished for 25 relatives, on December 24th, in 45 minutes.
  • Dry cleaners and hair cutters don't rob you blind.
  • Everything on your face stays its original colour.
  • Gray hair and wrinkles only add character.
  • If another guy shows up at the party in the same outfit, you just might become lifelong friends.
  • If someone forgets to invite you to something, he or she can still be your friend.
  • Phone Conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
  • Same work...more pay.
  • The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.
  • Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.
  • Wedding dress - $2,000. Tuxedo rental - 75 bucks.
  • Wedding plans take care of themselves.
  • You almost never have strap problems in public.
  • You are not expected to know the names of more than five colors.
  • You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.
  • You can "do" your nails with a pocketknife.
  • You can drop by to see a friend without having to bring a little gift.
  • You can go to the bathroom without a support group.
  • You can kill your own food.
  • You can leave the motel bed unmade.
  • You can open all your own jars.
  • You can quietly enjoy a car ride from the passenger's seat.
  • You can quietly watch a game with your buddy for hours without ever thinking: "He must be mad at me."
  • You don't have to clean your apartment if the meter reader is coming.
  • You don't have to learn to spell a new last name.
  • You don't have to shave below your neck.
  • You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.
  • You don't mooch off other's desserts.
  • You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.
  • You have freedom of choice concerning growing a moustache.
  • Your belly usually hides your big hips.
  • Your pals can be trusted never to trap you with. "So, notice anything different?"
  • Your underwear is $10 for a three-pack.

abort, retry, ignore poem

The infamous Abort, Retry, Ignore message box of Windows, with no option given to close it. Found this classic and fun poem about the "Abort, Retry, Ignore" message. I have been able to trace back the source to Annoyances.org. Here it is: Once upon a midnight dreary, fingers cramped and vision bleary, System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor, Longing for the warmth of bed sheets, still I sat there doing spreadsheets. Having reached the bottom line I took a floppy from the drawer, I then invoked the SAVE command and waited for the disk to store, Only this and nothing more. Deep into the monitor peering, long I sat there wond'ring, fearing,
 Doubting, while the disk kept churning, turning yet to churn some more.
 But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token.
 "Save!" I said, "You cursed mother! Save my data from before!"
 One thing did the phosphors answer, only this and nothing more,
 Just, "Abort

water out of thin air – star trek style

  An arid desert from where water is planned to be extracted (by porous means) from the atmosphere. This Jordanian startup has, it seems, finally come to the rescue of humanity. And it is straight to the point, too:  Producing Clean, Drinking Water from Desert Air .  Beyond doubt, it means that the magical-sounding system from this incredibly named company can produce water in the lush valleys of Nepal, too. Reason: if it can produce water from an arid desert, it can definitely produce water from climates less arid than a desert. So let me recount a story on why this machinery is suitable for Nepal along with the rest of the world. As everyone in the world knows, Nepal is a country full of all kinds of landscapes. There are forests, valleys, plateaus, almost-peninsulas, almost-islands, flatlands, badlands, grasslands, waterfalls, cliffs, mountains, canyons, gorges, caves, hills, and even a sea (albeit 500 km away). But no desert. No desert? How come? This question troubled some import
