Buffalo Theory

I have not seen anyone explain this as well as Cliff Clavin, on "Cheers."

One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his
buddy Norm, and here's how he explained it. "Well ya see, Norm, it's like
this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo.

And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back
that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a
whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps
improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the
slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells.
But naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this
way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the
brain a faster and more efficient machine.

That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Anyone who knows me also knows that I don't espouse the consumption of alcohol... not do I condemn it.

No joke

No, there's nothing special about Google. It's about Dennis Gabor, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics for inventing the hologram. If he'd discovered the fountain of youth, he'd probably still be living and 110 years old.

Sure Happy It's Thursday

I don't think we'll try the musical quiz again... at least not for awhile.

Somebody else posted about gastropods and it reminded me of this story:


A wife and her husband were having a dinner party
for some important guests. The wife was very
excited about this and wanted everything to be
perfect. At the very last minute, she realized that
she didn't have any snails for the dinner party, so
she asked her husband to run down to the beach
with the bucket to gather some snails.

Very grudgingly he agreed. He took the bucket,
walked out the door, down the steps, and out to
the beach. As he was collecting the snails, he
noticed a beautiful woman strolling alongside the
water just a little further down the beach.

He kept thinking to himself, "Wouldn't it be great
if she would even just come down and talk to me?"
He went back to gathering the snails.

All of a sudden he looked up, and the beautiful
woman was standing right over him. They started
talking and she invited him back to her place. They
ended up spending the night together. At seven
o'clock the next morning he woke up and exclaimed,
"Oh no!!! My wife's dinner party!!!"

He gathered all his clothes, put them on real fast,
grabbed his bucket, and ran out the door. He ran
down the beach all the way to his apartment. He
ran up the stairs of his apartment. He was in such
a hurry that when he got to the top of the stairs,
he dropped the bucket of snails. There were snails
all down the stairs. The door opened just then,
with a very angry wife standing in the door way
wondering where he's been all this time.

He looked at the snails all down the steps, then he
looked at her, then back at the snails and said,

"Come on guys, we're almost there!!"


the guy had to have been a lawyer?


Update -

A matter of great importance

The question has been posed:

Who will gain custody of the Internet?

Al or Tipper?

An American tourist asks a Scot:
"Why do Scuba divers always fall backwards off their boats?"


To which the Scot replies:
"If they fell forwards they'd still be in the fuckin’ boat."

Oy!

A female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was, walking slowly up to the holy site. She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she approached him for an interview.

"Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name?
"Morris Feinberg," he replied.
"Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?"
"For about 60 years."
"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"
"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims." "I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop." "I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults, and to love their fellow man."
"How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"
"Like I'm talking to a fuckin' wall."
