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.

pan-himalayan railroad

Chinese press is flooding with the news of China’s newest engineering feat – the completion of a railroad linking Lhasa (Tibet) with Eastern China. The country is celebrating this key achievement while the western press is once again applauding in awe and giving out mixed speculations. For example, this photo story contains some lines: “There are fears the railway will speed up the immigration of ethnic Chinese into Tibet, threatening its distinct cultural and religious identity.” “Tibetan groups and foreign critics say the railway’s real aim is political, as a symbol of China’s administrative and military control over a contested border region.” “...............................................” “..............................” All I can say about such statements is that leading people from China will undoubtedly laugh down these types of comments made by western media companies. This task in itself is a great combination of hard work, intellect and brotherhood, which in itself is a s...

the most boring page on the internet

Some people are born boring; others like John Ingram, thrust boredom upon the rest of the world. And so as we tread upon the gargantuan bog called the Internet, we slip and wonder: why? Why did John Ingram create a site that has nothing but just 413 (exactly) words of text? Why did he create a site that has no meaning, no reason to exist, and no way to earn him even a cent, forget a fortune? But it takes all kinds, and Ingram is one of those. He is rational in his thought, grammatically correct in his writing (although) for some reason he hates capital letters), and has enough reasons to keep the world’s most boring site alive at all times since its “founding” in 1996. Is that why his site has now been translated into 12 languages including Finnish, French, Swedish, Norwegian, and, hold your breath, ladies and gentleman, Pig Latin? World War II is obviously history since here we have a German as well as a Hebrew translation sitting right next to each other. The site, Ingram informs us...

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...
