Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Comments from patients made while undergoing colonoscopies...


1. "Take it easy, Doc, you're boldly going where no man has gone before."

2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"

3. "Can you hear me NOW?"

4. "Oh boy, that was sphincterrific!"

5. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"

6. "You know, in Arkansas, we're now legally married."

7. "Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?"

8. "You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out. You do the Hokey Pokey..."

9. "Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"

10."If your hand doesn't fit, you must acquit!"

11. "Hey, Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."

12. "You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?"

13. "Could you write me a note for my wife, saying that my head is not, in fact, up there?"

Computers In Movies


25 Interesting Things That You Learn About Computers in The Movies...

1. Word processors never display a cursor.

2. You never have to use the spacebar when typing long sentences.

3. All monitors display 2 inch high letters.

4. High-tech computers, such as those used by NASA, the CIA, or some such governmental institution, have easy-to-understand graphical interfaces.

5. Those that don't will have incredibly powerful text-based command shells that can correctly understand and execute commands typed in plain English.

6. Corollary: You can gain access to any information you want by simply typing "ACCESS ALL OF THE SECRET FILES" on any keyboard.

7. Likewise, you can infect a computer with a destructive virus by simply typing "UPLOAD VIRUS." Viruses cause temperatures in computers, just like they do in humans. After a while, smoke billows out of disk drives and monitors.

8. All computers are connected. You can access the information on the villain's desktop computer, even if it's turned off.

9. Powerful computers beep whenever you press a key or whenever the screen changes. Some computers also slow down the output on the screen so that it doesn't go faster than you can read. The *really* advanced ones also emulate the sound of a dot-matrix printer as the characters come across the screen.

10. All computer panels have thousands of volts and flash pots just underneath the surface. Malfunctions are indicated by a bright flash, a puff of smoke, a shower of sparks, and an explosion that forces you backward. See #7, above)

11. People typing away on a computer will turn it off without saving the data.

12. A hacker can get into the most sensitive computer in the world before intermission and guess the secret password in two tries.

13. Any PERMISSION DENIED has an OVERRIDE function.

14. Complex calculations and loading of huge amounts of data will be accomplished in under three seconds. In the movies, modems transmit data at two gigabytes per second.

15. When the power plant/missile site/whatever overheats, all the control panels will explode, as will the entire building.

16. If you display a file on the screen and someone deletes the file, it also disappears from the screen. There are no ways to copy a backup file -- and there are no undelete utilities.

17. If a disk has got encrypted files, you are automatically asked for a password when you try to access it.

18. No matter what kind of computer disk it is, it'll be readable by any system you put it into. All application software is usable by all computer platforms.

19. The more high-tech the equipment, the more buttons it has. However, everyone must have been highly trained, because the buttons aren't labelled.

20. Most computers, no matter how small, have reality-defying three-dimensional, real-time, photo-realistic animated graphics capability.

21. Laptops, for some strange reason, always seem to have amazing real-time video phone capabilities and the performance of a CRAY-MP.

22. Whenever a character looks at a VDU, the image is so bright that it projects itself onto his/her face.

23. Computers never crash during key, high-intensity activities. Humans operating computers never make mistakes under stress.

24. Programs are fiendishly perfect and never have bugs that slow down users.

25. Any photograph can have minute details pulled out of it. You can zoom into any picture as far as you want to. Example: "What's that fuzzy thing in the corner? I don't know, let's check. It's the murder weapon! Let's look under the bed for the killers shoes. no, just some comics books (Marvel 1954, very rare). Let's check the closet shelves...!"

Consultant Rules


If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

He who hesitates is probably right.

Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.

No one is listening until you make a mistake.

Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.

Two wrongs are only the beginning.

Work is accomplished by those employees who are still striving to reach their level of incompetence.

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up. (Project Management at its best).

Good morning everyboomie. welcome

Have a happy day everyone.

Good morning everyone!!! smile

Today is cloudy and probably it will rain later... but it's warm outside.

Put some new flowers in the pots yesterday and my balcony smells like spring and it's now colorful spring

Hope you all have a wonderful day wave

Good morning boomies! I am off to the early Insanity class so I can stay working later. I feel the need to get some blood moving. After that it's in the corner for me the rest of the day. It was 15 degrees this morning... really wish Spring would come already.

Be back in a bit...have a happy day all!

We are supposed to have some rain today and for the rest of the week. Little spits, nothing big. We neeeeed more rain here. Windy, cool, Outdoorsies are hunkered down in warm, dry places.

Checked on the progress of the poor deceased possum next door. It's gone, so I assume my neighbor buried it. He usually buries all dead animals on his property. Many dogs, cats, possums, maybe a human or two? Just kidding. I prefer animal control. I hate walking over 'spots' where things are buried. In my empty back lot, I know of 2 huge dogs, and at least 2 cats that tenants have buried over the years. I keep wondering where they are and if I'm going to find bones some day percolating to the surface. Ugh. First ones I had no control over since I didn't own the place yet. The cats(s) or perhaps a dog too, I specifically told the gal NOT to bury on the property, but she didn't listen. She is also the one who left a frozen, quite dead, parrot in the freezer when she left. I found out it had died BEFORE she even moved in here, so she brought it from another rental. Geez! I tossed the bird, all the other rotting stuff in the fridge (which was bought for her new a year before) and put the whole thing out front for FREE after hosing it down and spraying bleach all over. Even though it was in perfect shape. O just couldn't think of letting some other unsuspecting tenants use that fridge. Sigh. 500 bucks down the drain, but loads of peace of mind.

Off to watch stupid TV programs.
