WARNING: Radical, Left-Wing, Bush-bashing Joke Ahead!

I couldn't resist passing this one along (with apologies to the other side of the aisle):

Quote:

George Bush goes to a primary school to talk to the kids to get a little
PR. After his talk he offers question time. One little boy puts up his
hand and George asks him his name.

"Stanley," responds the little boy.

"And what is your question, Stanley?"

"I have 4 questions:

First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN?
Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes?
Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden?"
Fourth, why are we so worried about gay-marriage when 1/2 of all
Americans don't have health insurance?

Just then, the bell rings for recess. George Bush informs the kiddies
that they will continue after recess.

When they resume George says, "OK, where were we? Oh, that's right,
question time. Who has a question?"

Another little boy puts up his hand. George points him out and asks him
his name.

"Steve," he responds.

"And what is your question, Steve?"

"Actually, I have 6 questions.
First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN?
Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes?
Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden?
Fourth, why are we so worried about gay marriage when 1/2 of all
Americans don't have health insurance?
Fifth, why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early?
And sixth, what the hell happened to Stanley?"

My daughter just ran off with my Wodehouse collection, though I did encourage her to. I always loved the names of his golf foursome (can usually remember only three of them) 1) The First Gravedigger 2) The Man with the Hoe (will be back, must Google)

okay.. you're all on drugs... I'll come back later when the conversations start to make some sort of sense..!

[yellowmininy]

Aw come on, Derek, you'd love Wodehouse!

heh heh hehhh... 2 years in a rown now, it pays off to wait for a room..thanks for the email, Ian

Cathleen... no I wouldn't... I like books by Mark Brandon Read (crime novels based loosely on fact) and stuff like "The Universe in a nutshell" and "A brief history of time" by Stephen Hawking... or anything on theoretical physics... stuff like that. (of course, nobody talks about that stuff in the techno-geek thread..) I'm not into poetry and artsy-fartsy stuff ...

go figure.. I'm an artist, but I reallllllllly don't play well with other artists, especially literary types... actually, I loathe them... they're so freakin transparent...

it'd take me a really long time to explain it and I'm probably going to get enough slack as it is for what I've already said so I'll just shut-up..

[MetalMiniMayhem]

oh and I forgot the guy I've really been following over the last couple years... Dr. Ronald Mallett a professor of Physics at Univ of Conn... One day I'd like to meet him and talk about some of his research (if I had to place money on anyone who will crack the time travel dilemna, this will be the guy.. he's not like one of these hack UFO guys or whatnot, he's seriously starting to prove it is possible with his research into "frame dragging and the formation of closed time loops by the gravitational field of circulating light.")

Intereststing stuff..

http://temporology.bio.msu.ru/EREPORTS/mallett.pdf

"For the strong gravitational field of a circulating cylinder of light, I have found new exact solutions of the Einstein field equations for the exterior and interior gravitational fields of the light cylinder. The exterior gravitational field is shown to contain closed timelike lines [R. L. Mallett, "The gravitational field of a circulating light beam," Foundations of Physics 33, 1307 (2003)]. The presence of closed timelike lines indicates the possibility of time travel into the past. This creates the foundation for a time machine based on a circulating cylinder of light."

and yes.. I do actually understand this article..
