A guy is driving down a country road when he sees a sign, “Apples $5.00 each.” Intrigued to find out why an apple should cost that much, he stops and asks the farmer why the apples are so expensive.

The farmer says, “These are special peanut butter and jelly apples. Here, try one.” The man takes a bite and says, “Unbelievable; I taste the peanut butter but not the jelly.”

The farmer says, “Turn it around.”

He does and he savors a sweet jelly.

The farmer says, “I’ve got ham and cheese apples, too, but they’re $10.00 each.”

The man is excited, buys one, takes a bite and says, “Wow, these are great but I taste the ham but not the cheese.”

The farmer says, “Turn it around.”

He does, takes a bite and a rich, creamy cheese fills his mouth.

The farmer says, “Now, if you really like those, I’ve got some very special apples that cost $50.00 each. They’re pussy apples.”

The man cannot resist and buys one. He takes a bite and says, “Yuck, these taste like shit!”

The farmer says, “Turn it around.”

“Employers who do not take steps to block offensive spam from arriving in workers’ inboxes may be open to sexual harassment claims from their staff.

Pornographic or offensive images appearing on a worker’s screen by way of unsolicited or junk email (spam) could also qualify as evidence of a “hostile work environment”, a situation contravening the Human Rights Act. ”

Turn anything into oil?

“If the process works as well as its creators claim, not only would most toxic waste problems become history, so would imported oil. Just converting all the U.S. agricultural waste into oil and gas would yield the energy equivalent of 4 billion barrels of oil annually. In 2001 the United States imported 4.2 billion barrels of oil.”

This is crazy! You can turn anything into oil and water. This could change the world.. But.. It could be a hoax. Check it out… kuro5hin.org || Blood for Oil

Two Arabs boarded a flight out of London. One took a window seat and the other sat next to him in the middle seat. Just before takeoff, an American sat down in the aisle seat. After takeoff, the American kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, “I need to get up and get a coke.”

“Don’t get up” said the American, “I’m in the aisle seat. I’ll get it for you.”

As soon as he left, one of the Arabs picked up the American’s shoe and spat in it.

When he returned with the coke, the other Arab said, “That looks good, I’d really like one, too.”

Again, the American obligingly went to fetch it. While he was gone the other Arab picked up his other shoe and spat in it. When the American returned, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight. As the plane was landing, the American slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened.

“Why does it have to be this way?” he asked. “How long must this go on? This fighting between our nations? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes.”

Gnome 2.2

Well, made the switch today from fluxbox to Gnome 2.2. It’s pretty clean. Great fonts. Even better than KDE. Only complaint is the theme manager is Segfault’ing but im working on fixing that.. Got inpired to try gnome from the Dropline Gnome installation i tried on my slackware 9.0 laptop. I’ve made the themes very similar and it looks great. We’ll see how long I can stay in gnome though.

Sharp Zaurus Review

Very detailed review on the new Zaurus SL-5600.

“The new Zaurus SL-5600 from Sharp is a linux-based PDA with a 400MHz Intel XScale (PXA250) CPU. The street price is currently around $500 for the SL-5600. Sharp calls these devices Personal Mobile Tools, and if it were up to me I’d call the Zaurus, say, an “Ultra-Light Computer”, but I’ll use the term PDA here. The 5600 is an upgraded version of the 5500 which has been widely available for over a year, and the appearance is almost identical including the distinctive miniature keyboard which hides behind the quick button panel. The Zaurus is a very feature-rich device with plenty of power and expandability.”

Interesting article about people with synesthesia.

“When Matthew Blakeslee shapes hamburger patties with his hands, he experiences a vivid bitter taste in his mouth. Esmerelda Jones (a pseudonym) sees blue when she listens to the note C sharp played on the piano; other notes evoke different hues–so much so that the piano keys are actually color-coded, making it easier for her to remember and play musical scales.”
