"Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example." - Mark Twain

"The scientific theory I like best is that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost airline luggage." - Mark Russell

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - The Differences Between Men And Women

NICKNAMES:
If Gloria, Suzanne, Debra and Michelle go out for lunch, they will call each other Gloria, Suzanne, Debra and Michelle. But if Mike, Phil, Rob and Jack go out for a brewsky, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Useless.

DINING OUT:
And when the check comes, Mike, Phil, Rob and Jack will each throw in $20 bills, even though it's only for $22.50. None of them will have anything smaller, and none will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their check, out come the pocket calculators.

BATHROOMS:
A man has six items in his bathroom -- a toothbrush, shaving cream, razor, a bar of Dial soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn. The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 437. A man would not be able to identify most of these items.

GROCERIES:
A woman makes a list of things she needs and then goes out to the store and buys these things. A man waits till the only items left in his fridge are half a lime and a soda. Then he goes grocery shopping. He buys everything that looks good. By the time a man reaches the checkout counter, his cart is packed tighter than the Clampett's car on Beverly Hillbillies. Of course, this will not stop him from going to the 10-items-or-less lane.

SHOES:
When preparing for work, a woman will put on a Mondi wool suit, then slip on Reebok sneakers. She will carry her dress shoes in a plastic bag from Saks. When a woman gets to work, she will put on her dress shoes. Five minutes later, she will kick them off because her feet are under the desk. A man will wear the same pair of shoes all day.

CATS:
Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.

DRESSING UP:
A woman will dress up to: Go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer the phone, read a book, get the mail. A man will dress up for: weddings, funerals.

LAUNDRY:
Women do laundry every couple of days. A man will wear every article of clothing he owns, including his surgical pants that were hip about eight years ago, before he will do his laundry. When he is finally out of clothes, he will wear a dirty sweatshirt inside out, rent a U-Haul and take his mountain of clothes to the Laundromat. Men always expect to meet beautiful women at the Laundromat. This is a myth perpetuated by re-runs of old episodes of "Love, American Style."

OFFSPRING:
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and soccer games and romances and best friends and favorite foods and secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

Strange "Dog" Quotes

The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue. - Anonymous

Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.- Ann Landers

If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.- Will Rogers

There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.-Ben Williams

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. - Josh Billings

Anybody who doesn't know what soap tastes like never washed a dog. - Franklin P. Jones

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - - 20 Special 'Southernisms'

From or pal John - A new Yankee living in the South and slowly adjusting!

Southernisms

1.) Only a true Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption, and that you don't "HAVE" them, --
you "PITCH" them.

2.) Only a true Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc. make up "a mess."

3.) Only a true Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of "yonder."

4.) Only a true Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is - as in: "Going to town, be back directly."

5.) All true Southerners, even babies, know that "Gimme some sugar" is not a request for the white, granular sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl on the middle of the table.

6.) All true Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is.
They might not use the term, but they know the concept well.

7.) Only a true Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. (If the neighbor's trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin'!)

8.) Only true Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "right near" and "a right far piece." They also know that "just down the road" can be 1 mile or 20.

9.) Only a true Southerner both knows and understands the difference between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and po' white trash.

10.) No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn.

11.) A true Southerner knows that "fixin'" can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adverb.

12.) Only a true Southerner knows that the term "booger" can be a resident of the nose, a descriptive, as in "that ol' booger," a first name or something that jumps out at you in the dark and scares you senseless.

13.) Only true Southerners make friends while standing in lines. We don't do "queues", we do "lines," and when we're "in line," we talk to everybody!

14.) Put 100 true Southerners in a room and half of them will discover they're related, even if only by marriage.

15.) True Southerners never refer to one person as "y'all."

16.) True Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them.

17.) Every true Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that redeye gravy is also a breakfast food; and that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food.

18.) When you hear someone say, "Well, I caught myself lookin' .. ," you know you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner!

19.) Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk." Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it - we do not like our tea unsweetened. "Sweet milk" means you don't want buttermilk.

20.) And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say, "Bless her heart" and go your own way.

Strange Quotes on "America & Europe"

Americans are possibly the dumbest people on the planet. ...We Americans suffer from an enforced ignorance. We don't know about anything that's happening outside our country. Our stupidity is embarrassing. - Michael Moore

In America, only the successful writer is important, in France all writers are important, in England no writer is important, and in Australia you have to explain what a writer is. - Geoffrey Cottrell

America is a melting pot, the people at the bottom get burned while all the scum floats to the top. - Charlie King

The French are sawed-off sissies who eat snails and slugs and cheese that smells like people's feet. Utter cowards who force their own children to drink wine, they gibber like baboons even when you try to speak to them in their own wimpy language. - P. J. O'Rourke

You can always reason with a German. You can always reason with a barnyard animal, too, for all the good it does. - P. J. O'Rourke "Holidays in Hell"

The problem with Ireland is that it's a country full of genius, but with absolutely no talent. - Hugh Leonard

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Strange Words and Their Origins

The term "moron" entered our vocabulary when Molière, in his play La Princesse d'Elide, gave a dim-witted character the name Moron.

The phrase, "Often a bridesmaid but never a bride," actually comes from an advertisement for Listerine mouthwash. The text was written by Milton Feasley and first appeared in 1925. The advertisement was so successful that it ran for more than 10 years.

The "ZIP" in "ZIP code" stands for "Zoning Improvement Plan."

According to an old Egyptian text, a delicate nerve runs from the fourth finger of a person's left hand to their heart, thus explaining the origin why that finger is the "wedding finger."

If you knock on wood, the spririt in the tree will protect you.

------------------------

Are you ready to review the Best Humor, Coolest Pix and Political Parody on the Internet?

Get ready to jump into something "Strange!"

==================================

Strange "Irish" Quotes:

"Dublin was turning into Disneyland with super-pubs, a Purgatory open till five in the morning." - Joseph O'Connor, "Two Little Clouds"

"Traveling - I was all my life at it. I'd still rather be traveling around. I'm always thinking of it. It was a better and a nicer time on the road - more freedom along the roads. We'd be selling tinware, saucepans, cans - country people knew us well at those times and were very nice." - Former Irish Traveler (or "Tinker") Nan McDonagh

"I spent 90% of my money on women and drink. The rest I wasted." - Soccer superstar George Best

"We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English. - Winston Churchill

"You know, I have a theory about Charlie Haughey. If you give him enough rope, he'll hang you." - BBC Ireland reporter Leo Enright.

"I have a thing for red-haired Irish boys, as we know." - Actress Sandra Bullock

"All the world's a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed." - Sean O'Casey

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - - You Might be a Leprechaun if.......

You snicker uncontrollably all the way through "Darby O'Gill And The Little People."

Your record collection is stocked only with very short artists, Paula Abdul, Sheena Easton, Prince, Phil Collins.

When you see a rainbow, you get a greedy little look in your eye. (Arrrr, there's me pot o' gold!)

In your cupboard there is nothing but Lucky Charms cereal.

Every time you get your paycheck, you convert it into gold coins and bury it somewhere.

You insist on dancing a jig on your way to work each morning to the embarrassment of all your friends.

You've been under a rock for the past few years.

You just despise fairies. ("Wing Envy" if you ask me!)

You try to pick up women by saying "Ah, lassie, you have dazzling kneecaps, you do."

When you eat good food, you say it is "magically delicious,".

And the number one way you can tell you might be a Leprechaun:

You're three feet tall, Irish, have red hair, cuss, drink and wear green a lot!

Line 6 POD Studio UX2 USB interface

We're trying to find the easiest way to record
electric guitars in Garageband and last week we
bought a £20 USB cable form Lindy. It was
shite, loads of latency and a crap, muffled
sound. This week we're pushing the boat out
financially and buying the extremely pricey
Line 6 UX2 - which promises to have no lag.
We'll see.

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
Loops, Tits, Food and Porn Memorials

>> Looping madness <<
"Here's a new animation and tune I made,"
chirps Cyriak. "Enjoy!" By which he means sink
your mind with an increasingly complex,
proliferating horde of threatening teddy bears.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Cycles

>> Tit map <<
"Obvious what this does really," explains
Toucan. Leverages the full power of Web 2.0 to
give a Twitter-based UK map showing where it's
warm enough for girls to show their breasts to
the naked sky. "Yes it's stalkery and pervy,"
says Toucan. "That's why I thought I should
post it on b3ta."
http://www.titmonday.com

>> Random meals <<
"I have a problem," confesses Nairn. "I buy
cookery books but never ever use them. It
culminated in January with me buying 11 books
simultaneously. So what I've decided to do is
take one book a day in to work, then have
someone randomly pick a page and I'll eat for
dinner whatever that recipe is. Here's the
result:"

>> The 71st Adult Film Awards: In Memoriam <<
We've had the Oscars and the Baftas, now "the
bongo movie biz celebrates the lives of those
they lost this past year," intones a solemn
ratbanjos.

: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Letters they'll never read

Last week we wanted your apologies, anger,
declarations of love; the things you want to
say to people, but can't or didn't get the
chance to. Prepare to laugh and cry. Mostly
cry:
http://b3ta.com/questions/letterstheywillneverread/

Meanwhile here's two cats and a twat:

* DEAR TOM DAVEY, RSC member, actor, thesp,
luvvie, resident of Hackney. I'm sorry. I'm
sorry Tom that we share very similar email
addresses. I'm sorry I get a lot of your
emails, and I'm sorry that when I forward them
on to that you don't ever thank me. I'm sorry
you did Hamlet (or Macbeth) with David Tennant
and Patrick Stewart. I'm sorry that your
assistant director mails me your call sheets
instead of you. I'm further sorry that they
also include the email addresses, and phone
numbers of the other cast members. And the
details of their drivers, their mobile numbers
and times and locations to pick everyone up for
'shoots'. I'm sorry that I inadvertently
redirected Patrick Stewart & David Tennant's
drivers to pick you up from Soho, at 5pm, on a
Friday, when they should have picked you up
from Stanstead. I'm sorry it had to come to
that. Also, that new central heating boiler you
had installed? They threatened you with
bailiffs so I told them, and I quote, "Keep
your fucking boiler, I'm not paying. You can
come and rip it out of the house - even if you
have to kick the fucking doors down. I'm not
giving you a penny." I hope you have a jumper.
(I have run out of coke)

* DEAR MR SCHRODINGER, We are pleased/sorry to
inform you that Mr Tibbles is fine/no longer
with us. Please call if/when you observe this
message. Yours, Parrot Docs Veterinary Centre
(Bootsthealchemist)

* DEAR CAT, I'm sorry, cat. For sicking on that
bush you were sleeping in, and making you run
out scared. (moogman)

* BONUS GOLDACRE MENTION - special attention
also must go to this plea to Dr Ben Goldacre -
remember this was "letters they'll never read",
well Ben did read it and actually replied:
http://b3ta.com/questions/letterstheywillneverread/post658239

>> This Week's Question <<
Ever had some kwality healthcare?. Tell us your
doctor, nurse, dentist and hospital stories
here:
http://b3ta.com/questions/matron/

-------------------------------------------------

: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates

>> Teaching kids about gay romance <<
Last year mom and dad divorced. Dad now lives
with his friend Frank. If you've never read one
of these 'homosexuality is a fact of life'
kids' books, that The Daily Mail gets ever-so
excited about, now is your chance.
http://snurl.com/mytwodads

>> Is this what Heaven really looks like? <<
For a certain generation of long-in-the-tooth
web nerds there has never been a better
depiction of Heaven.
http://heaven.internetarchaeology.org/heaven.html#bottom

>> Piggyback art <<
Eddie Breen takes crap art found in junk shops
and paints on top of it. In his own words, "Art
can neither be good or bad, only interesting or
boring." We're going to try to remember that
quote as it's spot on.
http://www.eddiebreen.com/

>> 90s tech ads revisited <<
Tech nostalgia is powerful stuff, and this
magic collection of old adverts from the pages
of Wired makes us very happy indeed.
Particularly love the MiniDisc recorder "I CAN
RECORD ON A DISC!" Caps and punctuation are
here to sell the sheer enthusiasm of a
Sienfield-esque hipster who's enraptured by the
awesome tech.

It's pretty realistic. Just wait for it to
load, then use arrow keys to control the car.

>> Wiki perve <<
He's been at it for three years, but shameless
Wikipedia legend Richiex shows no sign of
slowing down in his, er, contributions. He's
just helpfully measured his balls for all to
see. No, don't click the link - that's what he
wants! NSFW!!! NSFW!!! NSFW!!! NSFW!!!

>> Flame Artworks Gallery <<
Funky web art tool that lets you draw with what
appears to be magical fairy flames. Very pretty
indeed.

: THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO AAHH
Man proposes via LoLCat view!

This enterprising young man combined cats, lols
and true love. He proposed to his girlfriend
via a LOLCat view - and she said yes. Yaaaay!
We look forward to seeing the divorce papers
served in similar style.

>> Boobies & Kittens <<
Title says it all really. NSFW if your
employers are SEXISTS who have some sort of
problem with the tastefully-attired female
form. In which case you should probably sue
them for making you miss this.

Sniggering man hides himself along the route of

: FUNNY NAME CORNER
As welcome as cancer on your penis

* GOOGLE MAPS FUN - Dan writes, "This may or
may not please you - stumbled across it when
checking out a cottage I stayed in - some wag
has written 'CLUNGE TASTES GREAT' in 10 foot
high letters on a St Ives beach. RESPECT."
http://snurl.com/clungetastesgreat

* AGE OF CONSENT LOLS - bilton06 writes,
"Someone is petitioning for the age of consent
for homosexuals to be raised to 21. However,
just take a close look at some of the names...
Lady Cumslurp-Bucketminge, Bumface McGoaty and
Lord Huffington of Feltchingham." Gosh - isn't
the internet full of merry funsters?

: B3TA IMAGE CHALLENGE
Superheroes in history

Last week we wanted you to take a superhero and
do some mad anachronism shit with it.

Faves picked by us include:

* SUPERMAN AT 9/11 - poor old Clark Kent, it's
morally wrong for him to have time off, or
sleep even. (Happy Shopper)
http://www.b3ta.com/board/9946842

* HONG KONG FUEY VS BAYEUX TAPESTRY - bet this
is in your head now, "Hong Kong Phooey, number
one super guy. Hong Kong Phooey, quicker than
the human eye." You'll be on YouTube next
watching the titles. (Hummel)
http://www.b3ta.com/board/9946856

* IRON MAN vs SUITS OF ARMOUR - although we
haven't actually bothered watching this film
and wondered if this was meant to be The
Terminator or The Cylons from Battlestar. Which
goes to show that this stuff is pretty
interchangeable, or we don't know jack shit
about sci-fi. Probably the the later.
(HappyToast )

>> New challenge: Opposite films <<
Your flamed-haired despot Rob thought up the
challenge this week, partly out of a gag about
turning Fight Club into a porno by, instead of
fighting, having people do the sex thing.
Anyway, it's a movie challenge which means you
won't be short of visual material to work from.
So have fun you crazy kids:

: WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
Follow-ups on previous stories.

* MOONING STREETVIEW - "Fuck me," ejaculates
Pat, "Dunno if you remember me telling you
about this a year ago... BUT IT WORKED!!!"

One year ago: "The Google Streetview car came
down my mate's road tonight. One swift phone
call later and there's plenty of B3ta inspired
ass lining the street. The bloke in the Google
car found it amusing. Especially when he
realised he had to turn round and come right
back out of the lane!"

Check it out!

* HOMEOPATHY - "I was looking up information on
Homeopathy," explains Ginger_Whinger, "and I
found this. I'll admit, I laughed."
http://www.howdoeshomeopathywork.com/

* JONTI RIP-OFF? - Dunno why we're bothering
with a question mark there, as this furniture
ad was clearly inspired by Badge Badger Badger.
Jonti himself says "Hmmm." We hope they pay him
off with a nice new sofa.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E63W43eLL78

* SPEAKING OF JONTI - Jazz version of Jonti's
classic equine opus. "Everyone else and their
mother seems to be doing covers and remixes of
this," volunteers Jonti. "I figured I might as
well join in too." Nice.
http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/Jazz+Horse/

* PANTS IN THE POST - In our 'Things We'd Like
to See' section, we asked for "fresh underwear
delivered everyday through your letterbox."
Thing is, we asked that in 2004. Thanks to
Peter Davison, for this suggestion marking the
longest amount of time we've ever had to wait
for our dreams to come true.

: STAR IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE

Make something cool and tell us about it. If
you are in it then people will see your stuff.

Things we'd really like to see include

* WORDS NOT CONTAINED IN TUBE NAMES - neal_work
says, "Pimlico is the only Underground station
which does not contain any of the letters in the
word 'badger'. But then I wondered if any other
word will work in the same way. Turns out, one
does.I can say (and prove if necessary) that
Pimlico is the only London Underground station
(out of 307) which does not share ANY letters
with the phrase 'Kunt and the Gang's Shaven
Havens'." Hmm, sounds like someone should write
a web app that lets you test words. Someone?
Anyone?

* REALISTIC LONDON CAB SIMULATOR - Add a photo
of a black cab to Google StreetView and a few
audio samples of a cockney blethering about
"bloody darkies" and job done.

* FIGHT OR RUN . COM - Like hotornot but with
photos of blokes and you have to rate whether
you'd fight them or run from them. Possibly
homoerotic now we think about it, but we've
occasionally played this game whilst walking
down the street.
