Some of you also suggested that "life seemed to be following art" so far as my A Skeleton in God's Closet was concerned. Believe me, this is not the way I wanted my novel to hit the visual media!<br /><br /> Alas, this whole affair is just the latest in the long-running media attack on the historical Jesus, which I call "More Junk on Jesus." We all thought it had culminated in that book of falsehoods, The Da Vinci Code. But no: the caricatures of Christ continue.<br /><br /> Please, lose no sleep over the Talpiot "discoveries" for the following reasons, and here are the facts:<br /><br /> 1) Nothing is new here: scholars have known about the ossuaries ever since March of 1980, so this is old news recycled. The general public learned when the BBC filmed a documentary on them in 1996, and the "findings" tanked again.. James Tabor's book, The Jesus Dynasty, also made a big fuss over the Talpiot tombs more recently, and now James Cameron (The Titanic) and Simcha Jacobovici have climbed aboard the sensationalist bandwagon as well. Another book comes out today, equally as worthless as the previous.<br /><br /> 2) All the names - Yeshua (Joshua, Jesus), Joseph, Maria, Mariamene, Matia, Judah, and Jose -- are extremely common Jewish names for that time and place, and thus nearly all scholars consider that these names are merely coincidental, as they did from the start. Some scholars dispute that "Yeshua" is even one of the names. One out of four Jewish women at that time, for example, were named Maria. There are 21Yeshuas cited by Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian, who were important enough to be recorded by him, with many thousands of others that never made history. The wondrous mathematical odds hyped by Jacobovici that these names must refer to Jesus and his family are simply playing by numbers and lying by statistics. <br /><br />3) There is no reason whatever to equate "Mary Magdalene" with "Mariamene," as Jacobovici claims. And so what if her DNA is different from that of "Yeshua" ? That particular "Mariamme" (as it is usually spelled today) could indeed have been the wife of that particular "Yeshua," who was certainly not Jesus. <br /><br /> 4) Why in the world would the "Jesus Family" have a burial site in Jerusalem, of all places, the very city that crucified Jesus? Galilee was their home. In Galilee they could have had such a family plot, not Judea. Besides all of which, church tradition and the earliest Christian historian, Eusebius of Caesarea, are unanimous in reporting that Mary, the mother of Jesus, died in Ephesus, where the apostle John, faithful to his commission from Jesus on the cross, had accompanied her.<br /><br /><br />5) The "Jesus Family" simply could not have afforded the large crypt uncovered at Talpiot, which housed, or could have housed, 200 ossuaries.<br /><br /> 6) If this were Jesus' family burial site, what is Matthew doing there - if indeed "Matia" is thus to be translated? <br /><br /> 7) How come there is no tradition whatever - Christian, Jewish, or secular -- that any part of the Holy Family was buried at Jerusalem?<br /><br /><br />8) Please note the extreme bias of the director and narrator, Simcha Jacobovici. The man is an Indiana-Jones-wannabe who oversensationalizes anything he touches. You may have caught him on his TV special regarding The Exodus, in which the man "explained" just about everything that still needed proving or explaining in the Exodus account in the Old Testament! It finally became ludicrous, and now he's doing it again, though in reverse: this time attacking the Scriptural record. - As for James Cameron, how do you follow the success of The Titanic? Well, with an even more "titanic" story. He should have known better, and the television footage of the two making their drastic statements on Monday, February 26 was disgusting, and their subsequent claim that they respected Jesus nauseating.<br /><br /> 9) Even Israeli authorities, who - were they anti-Christian - might have used this "discovery" to discredit Christianity, did not do so. Quite the opposite. Joe Zias, for example, for years the director of the Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem, holds Jacobovici's claims up for scorn and his documentary as "nonsense." Those involved in the project "have no credibility whatever," he added. - Amos Kloner, the first archaeologist to examine the site, said the conclusions in question fail to hold up by archaeological standards "but make for profitable television." -- William Dever, one of America's most prominent archaeologists, said, "This would be amusing if it didn't mislead so many people." <br /><br /><br />10) Finally, and most importantly, there is no external literary or historical evidence whatever that Jesus' family was interred together in a common burial place anywhere, let alone Jerusalem. The evidence, in fact, totally controverts all this in the case of Jesus: all four Gospels, the letters of St. Paul, and the common testimony of the early church state that Jesus rose from the dead, and did not leave his bones behind in any ossuary, as the current sensationalists claim.<br /><br /> Bottom line: this is merely naked hype, baseless sensationalism, and nothing less than a media fraud, "more junk on Jesus."<br /><br />With warm regards,<br /><br /> Paul L.

As in, "Bless his heart, if they put his brain on the<br />head of a pin, it'd roll around like a BB on a 6-lane highway."<br /><br />I was thinking about this the other day when a friend was telling about her<br />new transplanted northern friend who was upset because her toddler is just<br />beginning to talk and he has a Texas accent. My friend, who is very kind<br />and, bless her heart, cannot do a thing about those thighs of hers, was<br />justifiably miffed about this. After all, this woman had CHOSEN to move to<br />Texas a couple of years ago."Can you believe it?" said her friend, "A child<br />of mine is going to be "taaaallllkkin liiiike thiiiissss."<br /><br />Now, don't get me wrong. Some of my dearest friends are from the North,<br />bless their hearts. I welcome their perspective, their friendships, and<br />their recipes for authentic Northern Italian food. I've even gotten past<br />their endless complaints that you can't find good bread down here because<br />the heathens, bless their hearts, don't like cornbread!<br /><br />I have a friend from Bawston, bless her heart, who thinks it's hilarious<br />when I say I've got to "carry" my daughter to the doctor or "cut off" the<br />light. She also gets a giggle every time I am "fixin" to do something. And,<br />bless their hearts, they don't even know where "over yonder" is, or what "I<br />reckon" means!<br /><br />My personal favorite was my aunt, saying, "Bless her heart, she cain't help<br />being ugly, but she could'uh stayed home."<br /><br />Texas girls know bad manners when they see them:<br />1. Drinking straight out of a can.<br />2. Not sending thank you notes.<br />3. Velvet after February.<br />4. White shoes before Memorial Day or after Labor Day.<br /><br />Texas girls always say:<br />1. "Yes Maam."<br />2. "Yessir."<br /><br />Texas girls have a distinct way with fond expressions:<br />1. "Yawl come back."<br />2. "Well, bless yer harrt."<br />3. "Drop by when ya can."<br />4. "How's yer mama?"<br />5. "Love yer hair."<br /><br />Texas girls know their three R's:<br />1. Rich<br />2. Richer<br />3. Richest<br /><br />Texas girls know everybody's first name:<br />1. Hunny<br />2. Darlin'<br />3. Shuger<br /><br />Texas girls know the movies that speak to their hearts:<br />1. "Gone With the Wind"<br />2. "Fried Green Tomatoes"<br />3. "Driving Miss Daisy"<br />4. "Steel Magnolias"<br /><br />Texas girls know the three deadly sins:<br />1. Bad hair<br />2. Bad manners<br />3. Bad blind dates<br /><br />G.R.IT. = Girls Raised in Texas!<br /><br />Now you run along, Shuger, and send this to ANY females aspiring to be<br />GRITS -- Even the northern ones, "Bless Their Hearts".<br /><br />"Just because you move to Texas it does not make you a Texan. After all,<br />if a cat had kittens and moved them to the oven, that wouldn't make them<br />biscuits."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20077627-117073282468519661?l=payitforwardforwardblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Armsmasherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08821138057909203222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20077627.post-1170732775483179602007-02-05T19:32:00.000-08:002007-02-05T19:32:55.483-08:00Subject: How a blonde handles an emergency stop.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />A blonde's car gets a flat tire on the Interstate one day.<br /><br />So she eases it over onto the shoulder of the road.<br /><br />She carefully steps out of the car and opens the trunk.

For you hip urban<br />professionals: no, playing Mozart for your designer baby will not improve<br />his IQ or help him get into that exclusive pre-school. He'll just have to<br />be admitted to Harvard some other way. Of course, we're all better off for<br />listening to Mozart purely for the pleasure of it. However, one wonders that<br />if playing Mozart sonatas for little Hillary or Jason could boost their<br />intelligence, what would happen if other composers were played in their<br />developmental time?<br /><br />LISZT EFFECT: Child speaks rapidly and extravagantly, but never really says<br />anything important.<br /><br />BRUCKNER EFFECT: Child speaks very slowly and repeats himself frequently.<br />Gains reputation for profundity.<br /><br />WAGNER EFFECT: Child becomes a megalomaniac. May eventually marry his<br />sister.<br /><br />MAHLER EFFECT: Child continually screams - at great length and volume that<br />he's dying.<br /><br />SCHOENBERG EFFECT: Child never repeats a word until he's used all the other<br />words in his vocabulary. Sometimes talks backwards. Eventually, people stop<br />listening to him. Child blames them for their inability to understand him.<br /><br />BABBITT EFFECT: Child gibbers nonsense all the time. Eventually, people<br />stop listening to him. Child doesn't care because all his playmates think<br />he's cool.<br /><br />IVES EFFECT: the child develops a remarkable ability to carry on several<br />separate conversations at once.<br /><br />GLASS EFFECT: the child tends to repeat himself over and over and over and<br />over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over<br />and over again.<br /><br />STRAVINSKY EFFECT: the child is prone to savage, guttural and profane<br />outbursts that often lead to fighting and pandemonium in the preschool.<br /><br />BRAHMS EFFECT: the child is able to speak beautifully as long as his<br />sentences contain a multiple of three words (3, 6, 9, 12, etc). However, his<br />sentences containing 4 or 8 words are strangely uninspired.<br /><br />AND THEN OF COURSE, THE CAGE EFFECT: CHILD SAYS NOTHING FOR 4 MINUTES, 33<br />SECONDS.

She looked, and sure enough,<br /><br /> they were. It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off<br />than<br /><br /> it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as,<br /><br /> together, they worked to get the boots back on, this time<br /><br /> on the right feet.<br /><br /> He then announced, "These aren't my boots."<br /><br /><br /><br /> She bit her tongue, rather than get right in his face and<br /><br /> scream, "Why didn't you say so?", like she wanted to.<br /><br /> Once again she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots<br /><br />Off<br /><br /> his little feet.<br /><br /> No sooner had they gotten the boots off when he said,<br /><br /> "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear 'em."<br /><br /><br /><br /> Now she didn't know if she should laugh or cry. But she<br /><br /> mustered up what grace and courage she had left to wrestle<br /><br /> the boots on his feet again.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Helping him into his coat, she asked, "Now, where are your<br /><br />Mittens?<br /><br /> He said, "I stuffed 'em in the toes of my boots."<br /><br /><br /><br /> She has adjusted quite nicely to life in the HOME.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20077627-117010181364640510?l=payitforwardforwardblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Governesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17974317777615888649noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20077627.post-1170101618835860482007-01-29T12:11:00.000-08:002007-01-29T12:13:38.850-08:00>So sad.<br />><br />><br />> v\:* {behavior:url (#default#vml);} v\:* { BEHAVIOR: url<br />>(#default#vml) }<br />>---------------------------------<br />><br />><br />>Subject: Saddam's Cat<br />><br />><br />><br />>---------------------------------<br />> Check out the new AOL.

This is very scary and could happen to any of us.. Seems like every nice thing people do for one another can be perverted.<br /> <br />A new twist on kidnapping from a very smart survivor: <br /><br />About a month ago there was a woman standing by the mall entrance passing out flyers to all the women going in. The woman had written the flyer herself to tell about an experience she had, so that she might warn other women. <br /> <br />The previous day, this woman had finished shopping, went out to her car and discovered that she had a flat.<br /> <br />She got the jack out of the trunk and began to change the flat. A nice man dressed in a business suit and carrying a briefcase walked up to her and said, "I noticed you're changing a flat tire. Would you like me to take care of it for you?" <br /><br />The woman was grateful for his offer and accepted his help. They chatted amiably while the man changed the flat, and then put the flat tire and the jack in the trunk, shut it and dusted his hands off.<br /><br />The woman thanked him profusely, and as she was about to get in her car, the man told her that he left his car around on the other side of the mall, and asked if she would mind giving him a lift to his car.<br /> <br />She was a little surprised and she asked him why his car was on other side. <br /><br />He explained that he had seen an old friend in the mall that he hadn't seen for some time and they had a bite to eat, visited for a while, and he got turned around in the mall and left through the wrong exit, and now he was running late. <br /> <br />The woman hated to tell him "no" because he had just rescued her from having to change her flat tire all by herself, but she felt uneasy. (Trust that gut feeling!)<br /> <br />Then she remembered seeing the man put his briefcase in her trunk before shutting it and before he asked her for a ride to his car.<br /><br />She told him that she'd be happy to drive him around to his car, But she just remembered one last thing she needed to buy. (Smart woman!!)<br /> <br />She said she would only be a few minutes; he could sit down in her car and wait for her; she would be as quick as she could be.<br /> <br />She hurried into the mall, and told a security guard what had happened, the guard came out to her car with her, but the<br />man had left. They opened the trunk, took out his locked briefcase and took it down to the police station.<br /><br />The police opened it (ostensibly to look for ID so they could return it to the man). What they found was rope, duct tape, and knives. When the police checked her "flat" tire, there was nothing wrong with it; the air had simply been let out. It was obvious what the man's intention was, and obvious that he had carefully thought it out in advance. The woman was blessed to have escaped harm. (Amen·thank you, God!)<br /> <br />How much worse it would have been if she had children with her and had them wait in the car while the man fixed the tire, or if she had a baby strapped into a car seat? Or if she'd gone against her judgment and given him a lift?<br /><br /><br />I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life.<br /> <br />A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to send this to the ladies only; but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it on to them, as well.<br /><br />Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that The world we live in has a lot of crazies in it. Better to be safe than sorry.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20077627-116912638946861534?l=payitforwardforwardblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Armsmasherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08821138057909203222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20077627.post-1159561243954091592006-09-29T13:17:00.000-07:002006-09-29T13:20:43.986-07:00From: XXXXXx<br />Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2006 3:34 PM<br />To: XXX<br />Subject: Fw: Puppy for sale<br /><br />----- Original Message -----<br />From: Xxx<br />To: XXXX<br />Sent: Saturday, August 19, 2006 10:50 PM<br />Subject: Fw: Puppy for sale<br /><br /> <br />----- Original Message -----<br />From: XXXX Smith XXX<br />To: XXXXX<br /><br /> <br /> <br /><br />My neighbor has a puppy he's giving away (FREE!).<br />It's a Dachshund, it's house broken, and it's great with kids.<br />He's giving it away because his wife says the dog 'stares' at her when she is undressing, and that gives her the 'Heebie Jeebies'.

It is spreading fast so be prepared should you get this call. Most of us take those summons for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on their civic duty, that a new and ominous kind of scam has surfaced.<br /> <br />Fall for it and your identity could be stolen, reports CBS. In this con, someone calls pretending to be a court official who threateningly says a warrant has been issued for your arrest because you didn't show up for jury duty. The caller claims to be a jury coordinator. If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant. Sometimes they even ask for credit card numbers. Give out any of this information and bingo! Your identity just got stolen.<br /> <br />The scam has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma, Illinois, and Colorado. This (scam) is particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into giving information by pretending they're with the court system. The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their web sites, warning consumers about the fraud.<br /> <br />Check it out here:<br /><a href="http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/juryduty.asp" title="http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/juryduty.asp" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.snopes.com/crime<wbr>/fraud/juryduty.asp</a><br /><a href="http://www.fbi.gov/pressrel/pressrel05/092805.htm" title="http://www.fbi.gov/pressrel/pressrel05/092805.htm" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.fbi.gov/pressrel<wbr>/pressrel05/092805.htm</a><br /> <br /> </tt><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20077627-115340824341729012?l=payitforwardforwardblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Armsmasherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08821138057909203222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20077627.post-1153405109773549132006-07-20T07:16:00.000-07:002006-07-20T07:18:29.786-07:00Have you seen this one?<br /><br />----- Forwarded by Karen C [Judic.] on 06/22/2006 02:51 PM<br />-----<br /> Ernie R<br />To karen C<br /> 06/06/2006 03:49 <br /> PM "William C.<br /> <br /> cc<br /> Subject<br /> Fwd: BUSH-ism??<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Donald Rumsfeld briefed the President this morning.<br />He told Bush that 3 Brazilian solders were killed in<br />Iraq.

Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth. </span></span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"><br /> </span></span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;color:black;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; color: black;"><br /> </span></span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:130%;color:black;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;">The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors ! decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve. </span></span><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; font-family: Arial; color: black;"><br /> </span></span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;color:black;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; color: black;"><br /> </span></span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:130%;color:black;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;">After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only orphans" that could be found quickly, were a litter of weaner pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger </span></span><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black;"><br /> <br /> </span></span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:130%;color:black;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;">Would they become cubs or pork chops????

This is a common Bloods gang member<br />"initiation game" that goes like this:<br /><br />The new gang member under initiation drives along with no headlights, and<br />the first car to flash their headlights at him is now his "target.".<br /><br />He is now required to turnaround and chase that car, then shoot and kill<br />every individual in the vehicle in order to complete his initiation<br />requirements.<br /><br />Police Depts across the nation are being warned. Their intent is to have<br />all the new bloods nationwide drive around on Friday and Saturday nights<br />with their headlights off.<br />In order to be accepted into the gang, they have to shoot and kill all<br />individuals in the first auto that does a courtesy flash to warn them that<br />their lights are off.<br /><br />Make sure you share this information with all the drivers in your family!<br /><br />Please forward this message to all your friends and family members to inform<br />them about this initiation ritual.<br /><br /><br /> _____<br /><br /><br />Yahoo!

It's an annual honor given to the<br />> person who improved the "gene pool" the most by killing themselves in the<br />> most extraordinarily stupid way. As always, competition this year has been<br />> keen. And the candidates this year are .............<br />><br />><br />> In Detroit, a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in two feet of water<br />> after squeezing head first through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve<br />> his car keys.<br />><br />><br />> A 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who "totally zoned when he ran,"<br />> accidentally jogged off a 100-foot-high cliff on his daily run.<br />><br />><br />> Buxton, NC: A man died on a beach when an 8-foot-deep hole he had dug into<br />> the sand caved in as he sat inside it. Beach-goers said Daniel Jones, 21,<br />> dug the hole for fun, or protection from the wind, and had been sitting in<br />> a beach chair at the bottom Thursday afternoon when it collapsed,<br />> burying him beneath 5 feet of sand. People on the beach, on the outer<br />> banks, used their hands and shovels, trying to claw their way to Jones, a<br />> resident of Woodbridge, VA, but could not reach him. It took escue workers<br />> using heavy equipment almost an hour to free him while about 200 people<br />> looked on. Jones was pronounced dead at a hospital.<br />><br />><br />> Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed in Lompoc, CA, as he fell face-first<br />> through the ceiling of a bicycle shop he was burglarizing. Death was<br />> caused when the long flashlight he had placed in his mouth (to keep his<br />> hands free) rammed into the base of his skull as he hit the floor.<br />><br />><br />> Sylvester Briddell, Jr., 26, was killed in Selbyville, Del, as he won a<br />> bet with friends who said he would not put a revolver loaded with four<br />> bullets into his mouth and pull the trigger.<br />><br />><br />> The following mind-boggling attempt at a crime spree in Washington<br />> DC appeared to be the robber's first (and last), due to his lack of a<br />> previous record of violence, and his terminally stupid choices:<br />><br />> 1. His target was H&J Leather & Firearms, A gun shop specializing in<br />> handguns.<br />> 2. The shop was full of customers - firearms customers.<br />> 3. To enter the shop, the robber had to step around a marked police<br />> patrol car parked at the front door.<br />> 4. A uniformed officer was standing at the counter, having coffee<br />> before work. Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a<br />> hold-up,and fired a few wild shots from a .22 target pistol.<br />><br />> The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, the police officer<br />> with a 9mm GLOCK 17, the clerk with a .50 DESERT EAGLE, assisted by<br />> several customers who also drew their guns, several of whom also fired.<br />><br />> The robber was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics.<br />><br />> Crime scene investigators located 47 expended cartridge cases in the<br />> shop.<br />> The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds.<br />> Ballistics identified rounds from 7 different weapons.<br />> No one else was hurt in the exchange of fire.<br />><br />><br />><br />> HONORABLE MENTION:<br />> Paul Stiller, 47, was hospitalized in Andover township, NJ, and his wife<br />> Bonnie was also injured, when a quarter- stick of dynamite blew up in<br />> their car. While driving around at 2 AM, the bored couple lit the dynamite<br />> and tried to toss it out the window to see what would happen, but<br />> apparently failed to notice the window was closed.<br />><br />><br />> RUNNER UP: TACOMA, WA.<br />> Kerry Bingham had been drinking with several friends when one of them said<br />> they knew a person who had bungee-jumped from the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in<br />> the middle of traffic. The conversation grew more heated and at least 10<br />> men trooped along the walkway of the bridge at 4:30 AM.<br />><br />> Upon arrival at the midpoint of the bridge they discovered that no one had<br />> brought a bungee rope.<br />> Bingham, who had continued drinking, volunteered and pointed out that a<br />> coil of lineman's cable lay nearby. One end of the cable was secured<br />> around Bingham's leg and the other end was tied to the bridge. His fall<br />> lasted 40 feet before the cable tightened and tore his foot off at the<br />> ankle.<br />> He miraculously survived his fall into the icy river water and was rescued<br />> by two nearby fishermen. "All I can say" said Bingham, is that God was<br />> watching out for me on that night. There's just no other explanation for<br />> it."<br />><br />> Bingham's foot was never located.<br />><br />><br />><br />> AND THE WINNER:<br />> Overzealous zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt (Paderborn, Germany) fed his<br />> constipated elephant Stefan 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a<br />> bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally<br />> let it fly, and suffocated the keeper under 200 pounds of poop!<br />> Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the<br />> ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded on<br />> him. "The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked<br />> Mr.Riesfeldt to the ground, where he struck his head on a rock and lay<br />> unconscious as the elephant continued to evacuate his bowels on top of<br />> him" said flabbergasted<br />> Paderborn police detective Erik Dern. With no one there to help him, he<br />> lay under all that dung for at least an hour before a watchman came along,<br />> and during that time he suffocated. It seems to be just one of those freak<br />> accidents that proves that "Shit happens!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20077627-113899798332073949?l=payitforwardforwardblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Armsmasherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08821138057909203222noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20077627.post-1138215917146483742006-01-25T11:03:00.000-08:002006-01-25T11:06:16.163-08:00This was pretty interesting.

Thank<br />you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy. Not to<br />mention that I have dramatically improved my skills in using the e-mail<br />Delete message function.<br /><br /> Extra thanks to whoever sent me the note about rat crap in the glue on<br />envelopes because I now have to go get a wet sponge every time I need to<br />seal an envelope -- even if it's self-sticking. Also, I scrub the top<br />of every can I open for the same reason.<br /><br /> Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can<br />remove toilet stains.<br /><br /> I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr Pepper since the people who make these<br /> products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans.<br /><br /> I no longer use Proctor & Gamble products because they support Devil<br /> Worship.<br /><br /> I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.<br /><br /> I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be<br />pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.<br /><br /> I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a<br />water buffalo in heat on a hot day.<br /><br /> I no longer go to shopping malls because someone might drug me with a<br /> perfume sample and rob me.<br /><br /> I no longer receive packages from nor send packages by UPS or FedEx<br />since they are actually disguised Al Qaeda front companies.<br /><br /> I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a<br />number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda,<br />Singapore and Uzbekistan.<br /><br /> I no longer eat KFC because their "chickens" are actually horrible<br />mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers. I no longer eat McDonald's<br />hamburgers because every cow in the world will be butchered as a result.<br /><br /> I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my<br />free replacement pair from Nike.<br /><br /> I no longer have to buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus that I<br />never bought since I now have their recipe.<br /><br /> I no longer worry about my soul because at last count I have 363,214<br />angels looking out for me.<br /><br /> Thanks to you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I<br />forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five<br />minutes.<br /><br /> I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl who is<br />about to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time).<br /><br /> I no longer have any money at all -- but that will change once I<br />receive the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for<br />participating in their special e-mail program.<br /><br /> Yes, I want to thank you so much for looking out for me that I will now<br />return the favor!<br /><br /> If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 7<br />minutes, a large pigeon with a wicked case of Avian Flu diarrhea will<br />land on your head at 5:00 PM (CDT) this afternoon.<br /><br /> I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my<br />next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's mechanic's<br />plumber's cousin's beautician.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20077627-113778465407586928?l=payitforwardforwardblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Armsmasherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08821138057909203222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20077627.post-1137776885774643272006-01-20T09:07:00.000-08:002006-01-20T09:08:05.796-08:00This is pretty funny - but true!!<br /><br /><br />>From: <br />>To: <br />>Subject: Fw: Growing Up in Missouri<br />>Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 08:16:00 -0600<br />><br />><br />><br />>----- Forwarded by <br />> cc<br />><br />> Subject<br />> Fw: Growing Up in Missouri<br />><br />><br />><br />>1.

Just think about it for a few minutes and be very, very grateful for your place in life.<br /><br /> If you woke up this morning with<br /> more health than illness...<br /> you are more blessed than the million<br /> who will not survive this week.<br /><br /><br /><br /> If you have never experienced the danger<br /> of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment,<br /> the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ...<br /> you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.<br /><br /><br /><br /> If you can attend a church meeting without<br /> fear of harassment, arrest, torture,<br /> or death...you are more blessed than<br /> three billion people in the world.<br /><br /><br /><br /> If you have food in the refrigerator,<br /> clothes on your back,<br /> a roof overhead and a place to sleep...<br /> you are richer than 75% of this world.<br /><br /><br /><br /> If you have money in the bank,<br /> in your wallet, and spare change in a<br /> dish someplace...you are among the<br /> top 8% of the world's wealthy.<br /><br /><br /> If your parents are still alive and still<br /> married...you are very rare, even in the United States.<br /><br /><br /><br /> If you hold up your head with<br /> a smile on your face<br /> and are truly thankful...you are blessed<br /> because the majority can, but most do not.<br /><br /><br /><br /> If you can hold someone's<br /> hand, hug them or even<br /> touch them on the shoulder...you are blessed<br /> because you can offer God's healing touch.<br /><br /><br /><br /> If you can read this message, you just received a<br /> double blessing in that someone was thinking of you,<br /> and furthermore, you are more blessed than over<br /> two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Have a good day, &amp; remember to<br /> "count your many blessings, name them<br /> one by one, and it might surprise<br /> you what the Lord has done".<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20077627-113520487801320760?l=payitforwardforwardblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Armsmasherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08821138057909203222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20077627.post-1135204621684365222005-12-21T14:34:00.000-08:002005-12-21T14:37:31.630-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2111/2000/1600/image001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2111/2000/320/image001.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><font><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;">&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;</font></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20077627-113520462168436522?l=payitforwardforwardblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Armsmasherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08821138057909203222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20077627.post-1135203673839832772005-12-21T14:20:00.000-08:002005-12-21T14:21:13.840-08:00>><br /><br /><br /> > A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was<br />nicely made and everything was picked up.

She wants to have many more children<br />With me and that's now one of my dreams too.<br /><br /> > Joan taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and we'll be<br />growing it for us and trading it with her friends for all the cocaine and<br />ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure<br />for AIDS so Joan can get better; she sure deserves it!!<br /><br /> > Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of<br />myself Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your<br />grandchildren.<br /><br />>> Your son,<br /> John<br /><br />> PS: Dad, none of the above is true.

He picked up something off the<br />ground and started to put it in his mouth. I took the item away from him and I<br />asked him not to do that. "Why?" my son asked. ?Because it's been lying<br />outside, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty and probably has germs" I<br />replied. At this point, my son looked at me with total admiration and asked,<br />"Wow! How do you know all this stuff?" "Uh," ...I was thinking quickly, "All<br />moms know this stuff. It's on the Mommy Test. You have to know it, or they don't<br />let you be a Mommy." We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but he was<br />evidently pondering this new information. "OH...I get it!" he beamed, "So if<br />you don't pass the test, you have to be the daddy." "Exactly" I replied back<br />with a big smile on my face and joy in my heart.<br /><br /> ......When you're finished laughing, send this to a Mom.</span></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20077627-113520208338507343?l=payitforwardforwardblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Armsmasherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08821138057909203222noreply@blogger.com0
