A Peacock in the Land of Penguins

A Peacock in the Land of Penguins brings new insight to an important topic – cultivating new ideas instead of “business as usual”.

Another clever video online -

The Pingu Boogaloo.  

( I cannot vouch for the band that is advertised, though!)

Bob Hope’s self-deprecating humour was one of his most endearing qualities and one of the basics of his success.  Here is a little of it, just to make you smile ...


ON TURNING 70:  'You still chase women, but only downhill.'

ON TURNING 80:  'That's the time of your life when even your birthday suit needs pressing.'

ON TURNING 90:  'You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.'

ON TURNING 100:  'I don't feel old. In fact I don't feel anything until noon. Then it's time for my nap.'

ON HIS EARLY CAREER, BOXING:  'I ruined my hands in the ring...the referee kept stepping on them.'

ON SAILORS:  'They spend the first six days of each week sowing their wild oats, then they go to church on Sunday and pray for crop failure.'

ON NEVER WINNING AN OSCAR:  'Welcome to the Academy Awards or, as it's called at my home, 'Passover'.'

ON GOLF:  'Golf is my profession. Show business is just to pay the green fees.'

ON PRESIDENTS:  'I have performed for 12 presidents and entertained six.'

ON RECEIVING THE CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL:  'I feel very humble, but I think I have the strength of character to fight it.'

ON HIS FAMILY'S EARLY POVERTY:  'Four of us slept in the one bed. When it got cold, mother threw on another brother.'

ON HIS SIX BROTHERS:  'That's how I learned to dance.  Waiting for the bathroom.'

ON HIS EARLY FAILURES:  ' I wouldn't have had anything to eat if it wasn't for the stuff the audience threw at me.'


ON GOING TO HEAVEN:  'I've done benefits for ALL the religions. I'd hate to blow the hereafter on a technicality.' 

 

From Bill Bradley

--You know you're living in 2007 when... 

1. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

4. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.

5. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

Which Color Is Darker?

"This is a wonderful illusion! It was sent to me by one of our fans called Mike. Believe it or not, the "white" letters are actually darker than the "black" letters. This effect becomes clear when the surroundings are removed. You can jump inside this article to see the proof! This is what Mike wrote: "Found this magazine, Scientific American Mind, which had a good article about visual perception. Lots more in the June/July issue.""

 

You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named Bush, Dick, and Colon. Need I say more?

I saw two dogs walk over to a parking meter. One said to the other,
"How do you like that? Pay toilets."

 

There are two rules for success in life:

Rule 1: Don't tell people everything you know.

Missing Piece Of Cake Illusion

 

From the Mighty Optical Illusions site

 

"It's quite simple, and nice if you try and understand it. As you see we have two photos here. First one gives you impression there is a pie with missing piece pictured in it. When you look at the second photo (which is actually the same one, only rotated), you see only one

last piece of pie. How can it be? It's similar to our convex/concave illusions from before.

Gas prices are so high that when I pulled into a station and asked for a dollar's worth, the attendant dabbed some behind my ears.

I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something.

With all the credit cards around these days, the only one who pays cash all the time is the tooth fairy.

The best things in life may be free, but the optional accessories really run up the bill.

One nice thing about my salary, no one will ever hold me for ransom.

It's called "take-home pay" because you can't afford to go anywhere else with it!

They say that money talks; about all it says to most of us is "good-bye."

 

Intuitor Strikes a Blow for Decency in Movie Physics!

Technonerds go to movies strictly for entertainment, and of course, the most entertaining part comes after the movie when they can dissect, criticize, and argue the merits of every detail. However, when supposedly serious scenes totally disregard the laws of physics in blatantly obvious ways it's enough to make us retch. The motion picture industry has failed to police itself against the evils of bad physics. This page is provided as a public service in hopes of improving this deplorable matter. The minds of our children and their ability to master vectors are (shudder) at stake.

While many movies do fall short there are example of good one. See Intuitor's Recommendations for Movies With Good Movie Physics

Dilbert's Words of Wisdom

Poor Dilbert (the cartoon character, for any who aren't familiar with him) has a cynical attitude, but often knows exactly what's going on and where the truth is buried. Here are a few nuggets of wisdom from the Corporate World. Enjoy!


I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow is not looking good either.

I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by.

Accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days the statue.

Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If he isn't there the first time, chances are you won't be needing him again.

On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key.

Don't be irreplaceable -- if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.

When bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves.

If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit, and remove all evidence that you tried. No use being a damn fool about it.

You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by your desk.

If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.

When you don't know what to do, walk fast, carry a clipboard, and look worried.
