Ahhh a nice cool/slightly chilly day in good'ol Baltimore. Someone even brought me breakfast this morning, can't beat that! Except for the fact that I got a lot of studying to do after I post this...Have an exam tonight and tomorrow in my Unix and Windows 2000 LAN administration classes I just wanna go back to bed lol


Anyways, time to roll on with some tuesday morning funnies!

A visitor from Holland was chatting with his American friend
and was jokingly explaining about the red, white and blue in
the Netherlands flag.

"Our flag symbolizes our taxes," he said. "We get red when
we talk about them, white when we get our tax bill, and blue
after we pay them."

"That's the same with us," the American said, "only we see
stars, too."

My friend sent me this in an email this morning. I've seen some different forms of this before, but it's always good for a morning laugh


Dimentia Test



Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important that we keep mentally alert. The saying; "If you don't use it, you will lose it" also applies to the brain, so...

Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence. So, take the following test presented here and determine if you are losing it or are still "with it."

The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you have made your wn.... OK, relax, clear your mind and.... begin.



1. What do you put in a toaster?

*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*

Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," then give up now and go
do something else. Try not to hurt yourself.
If you said, "bread", go to Question 2.


2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk." What do cows
drink?

*

Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk," please do not
attempt the next question. Your brain is obviously overstressed and may
even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with reading
something more appropriate such as Children's World.
If you said "water" then proceed to question 3.


3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is
made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a
black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?

*
*
*
*
*
*
*

Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green
bricks," what the devil are you still doing here reading these
questions?????
If you said "glass," then go on to Question 4.


4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000
feet over Germany. (If you will recall, Germany at the time was
politically divided into West Germany and East Germany.) Anyway, during
the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last
remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure.
Unfortunately the engine fails before he has time and the plane fatally
crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany or West Germany or in "no man's land"?

*

*

Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors. If you said
ANYTHING else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to
rescue anyone from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated.
If you said, "Don't bury the survivors" then proceed to the next question.


5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every
minute then how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?

*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*

Answer: One degree. If you said "360 degrees" or anything
other than "one degree," you are to be congratulated on getting this far,
but you are obviously out of your league. Turn your pencil in and exit the
room. Everyone else proceed to the final question.


6. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from
London to Milford Haven in Wales,
In London, 17 people get on the bus.
In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on.
In Swindon, two people get off and four get on.
In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get in.
In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on.
In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on.

You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the name of the
bus driver?

Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember? It was
YOU!!

better than you did!

That was actually kinda funny!

Ok I couldn't have got those any more wrong.
I wasn't thinking.. and I knew the right answers, but when you read them, your brain just clicks out the totally wrong, but apparent answers.

Nice one. I'll have to pass this around at work.
