Strange Quotes about Cats & Teenagers:
For all of you with teenagers or who had teenagers, you may want to know why they really have a lot in common with cats:
1. Neither teenagers nor cats turn their heads when you call them by name.
2. No matter what you do for them, it is not enough. Indeed, all humane efforts are barely adequate to compensate for the privilege of waiting on them hand and foot.
3. You rarely see a cat walking outside of the house with an adult human being, and it can be safely said that no teenager in his or her right mind wants to be seen in public with his or her parents.
4. Cats and teenagers can lie on the living-room sofa for hours on end without moving, barely breathing.
5. Cats have nine lives. Teenagers carry on as if they did.

Strange but Amazing Insults:
He's so fat, he has the only car in town with stretch marks.
He's so short he can sit on a piece of toilet paper and dangle his feet.
He's the first in his family born without a tail.
What color is the sky in your world?
What he lacks in intelligence, he more than makes up for in stupidity.
When God was throwing intelligence down to the Earth, you were holding an umbrella.
When I look into your eyes, I see the back of your head.
You're so ugly your husband takes you with him everywhere he goes so he doesn't have to kiss you bye.
Instead of being born again, why don't you just grow up?

-------------------------------------------------
: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Last week: Pure Fury
We asked, 'A friend's dad once stormed up to
me and threatened to "punch your stupid face
in" because I pointed a camera at him. I was
11. Have you ever done something innocent or
made a harmless joke that ended in threats to
your person?'
* BATSHIT MENTAL - "I once had a girlfriend,
perfection personified: warm, kind,
articulate, witty, and shagged like a steam
train on steroids. I really thought I had it
made. I remember very clearly the first time
the other side of her made an appearance. I
was standing stunned as she screamed and
ranted, veins bulging in her forehead and
rabid spittle collecting in the corners of her
mouth. Eventually, having redistributed the
furniture around the room, and run out of
objects and invective to hurl at me, she
stormed out and disappeared. My crime, you
ask? Apparently, I'd cut the vegetables at the
wrong angle." (moon monkey)
* ANSWER-PHONE BLEEPS - "A mate of mine once
played me a voicemail he'd received. I can't
remember it exactly, but it was along the
lines of 'Andy you fucker I'm going to kill
you I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'D DO THAT TO ME YOU
BASTARD I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU PAY YOU'D BETTER
WATCH YOUR BACK I FUCKING KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE
YOU WANKER YOU'RE GOING TO WISH YOU WERE NEVER
BORN I'M GOING TO...oh sorry, I've just
realised this is the wrong number, sorry'."
(skullfunkerry)
* STRANGE PROPOSAL, "Visiting the urinal at my
local pub. During my beer fueled wee I
happened to let out a rather violent sneeze,
which sent my glasses flying from my face. My
glasses went hurtling slightly to my right and
bounced off the penis of the chap standing
next to me. Now, confusingly he assumed not
only that I had managed to do that
deliberately, but that it was some sort of
weird homosexual mating ritual. I was very
angrily informed that if I tried any more of
that 'bender shit' that he would rip my balls
off and feed them to his dog... By the way, I
left the glasses in the urinal and got more
ordered the next day." (NoStrings)
Read all the fuckers here:
http://www.b3ta.com/questions/purefury/
>> This week: Love/hate Britain <<
This week's been all about the Ralf Miliband,
the Daily Mail and why people love or hate
their country. Tell us one thing you hate
about Britain, and one thing about why you
love it.
http://www.b3ta.com/questions/lovehatebritain/
-------------------------------------------------
: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates
>> Deadly lake that turns animals to stone <<
Lake Natron in Tanzania is highly caustic,
killing pretty much anything that falls in it.
That said, this photographer has managed to
make smashing pics by posing the resulting,
macabre animal 'statues'.
>> Mouldy food in the office fridge <<
It's Friday: Remember to clear your crap out of
the communal fridge. These festering pots are
both a stark warning and strangely beautiful.
http://containerspore.tumblr.com/
>> Then Now: Vintage crime scenes <<
Somewhat harrowing scenes of mayhem and murder,
superimposed on their present-day New York
locations. Adds just enough interest to the
slightly shop-worn 'then now' trope.
>> Corridor looks like a crotch <<
Sceptical? So were we. But it does - almost to
the point of being NSFW.
-------------------------------------------------
: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Tell your friends: TV's on the web!
>> Chimp sees magic for the first time <<
Charming antics, as an adorable chimpanzee is
treated to her very first magic show. She's so
baffled!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmsCPiRoViU
>> New iPhone speed-tested against every iPhone <<
Just what it says in the title. Pleasing to see
them all lined up and rebooting.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eSrdgTHhK0
>> Wrecking Ball hedgehog parody <<
No more Wrecking Ball parodies please - this
one is perfect.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlA4RH1Riwo
>> Talking Devil Cat <<
Two slightly hysterical Irish ladies are
startled by a cat that seems to be telling them
to "Go away!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxiz--MY8o4
>> Amazing wingsuit camera <<
Bloke jumps off cliff wearing one of those
panoramic cameras. You can control the view, as
he plummets towards the ground in his wingsuit.
>> Daily Mail editor crushed on Newsnight <<
It's not often you get to cheer for Alistair
Campbell. But here he delivers a tremendous
verbal beatdown on Daily Mail deputy editor Jon
Steafel, over the paper's peculiar fixation on
the Milibands.

-------------------------------------------------
: WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
* BUY FLATFROG'S BOOK - "Any chance you could
pretty please tell the world about my book?"
asks flatfrog. "It's aimed at 10-14 year-olds
and I've been rewriting it for about 20 years
without ever knowing if it's any good." To be
fair, we don't know if it's any good either,
but here it is as a community bulletin.

-------------------------------------------------
: 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:
* INTERNET DATING TROLLING - make a fake
profile of a beautiful woman. See how many
replies you get. Photoshop her left eye 5%
bigger. See how many replies you get. At what
percent are men put off? If at all?
* LITERAL TUBE STOP PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT - take
a photo standing in front of the Hatton Cross
tube station sign, with a hat on, looking cross.
* HYBRID WIRELESS / USB MICE AND KEYBOARD -
they should charge from USB then work
wirelessly. Sort it out, Shnapple.
Send contributions via the mail form.
BTW: If you've sent something in that hasn't
been featured then don't be put off - we look
at everything you send us.

Strange Quotes About 'Attitude'
Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd. - Edith Sitwell (1887 - 1964), Taken Care Of ,1965
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. - Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true. - James Branch Cabell (1879 - 1958), The Silver Stallion, 1926
The point of living and of being an optimist, is to be foolish enough to believe the best is yet to come. - Peter Ustinov (1921 - 2004)
Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent. - Sophia Loren (1934 - )

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Limericks from and for Geeks
There's a website they call GeoCity,
That thinks pop-up windows are nifty.
But to all of their guests,
They really are pests,
So the rest of us think they are sh**ty.
You know that computers have motherboards.
This is how they give birth to large hordes.
All of these mothers
Create many others,
To be sold in websites and stores.
His website was all about sex.
It had a girl making love to T. Rex.
His server said "Goodby,
Your hits they are too high,
And this our subscribers does vex".
I. Newton sees Apple fall down.
As he watches he says with a frown
"Support it is lacking
And it needs more hacking.
There are better computers in town."
A programmer from the town of Dunkirk
Would work with a most evil smirk.
Thought he "Buyer beware
If you use my software,
Because in it a virus will lurk."
I have an employer named Floss,
Who swears there is nothing like DOS.
If your OS is GUI,
She will always say "Phooey!
Any window is nothing but dross."
A ten-year old male we called Haskell
Was a very adventurous rascal.
He climbed on our roof,
slipped, and then - "Whoof"!
He fell off and lit on his cl*ass*ical.
In the cybercafe we call Website
There are computers online every night.
For five dollars an hour
You can view Eiffel Tower,
Or talk with an Israelite.
There was a fat turkey named Sam,
Who gobbled whenever he ran.
He came out of the bush,
Presenting his tush,
And was shot up the arse by a man.
A gray persian cat we called Myer.
Loved to sit and look in the dryer.
One day he fell in,
And went for a spin.
Now his fur looks just like barbed wire.
