It's hard for me to write jokes - I have a lot of ideas, but I dont know how to write. I have a masters degree in Engineering. I told the owner I'll return it in 2 days. I saw a sign when I was walking that said "Warning: I may warn you about something". My phone was busted and I wanted to order some food so I went to the restaurant, I told them my order, then I went home and waited for it to be delivered. I bought a mansion the other day. It was on a monopoly board. I wonder how you make something invisible disappear? People are 75% water - how come when I fall down I don't make a splashing sound? I wonder how you water a power plant.

She got out of her pink bed, put on a pink robe over her pink nightgown, put on her pink slippers and went through the pink door to reach the pink stairs. She climbed down the pink stairs, walked across the pink carpet to answer the pink door. She opened the door and found a tramp standing there.

This will add only 15 seconds to your ordering time"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer: (Sighs) "Oh, well, I'd like to order a couple of your All-Meat Special pizzas."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Operator: "I don't think that's a good idea, sir."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer: "Whaddya mean?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Operator: "Sir, your medical records and commode sensors indicate that you've got very high blood pressure and extremely high cholesterol. Your National Health Care provider won't allow such an unhealthy choice."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer: "What? What do you recommend, then?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Operator: "You might try our low-fat Soybean Pizza. I'm sure you'll like it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer: "What makes you think I'd like something like that?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Operator: "Well, you checked out 'Gourmet Soybean Recipes' from your local library last week, sir. That's why I made the suggestion."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer: "All right, all right. Give me two family-sized ones, then."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Operator: "That should be plenty for you, your wife and your four kids, and your 2 dogs can finish the crusts, sir. Your total is $49.99."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer: "Lemme give you my credit card number."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Operator: "I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid you'll have to pay in cash. Your credit card balance is over its limit."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer: "I'll run over to the ATM and get some cash before your driver gets here."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Operator: "That won't work either, sir. Your checking account's overdrawn also."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer: "Never mind! Just send the pizzas. I'll have the cash ready. How long will it take?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Operator: "We're running a little behind, sir. It'll be about 45 minutes, sir. If you're in a hurry you might want to pick 'em up while you're out getting the cash, but then, carrying pizzas on a motorcycle can be a little awkward."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer: "Wait! How do you know I ride a 'cycle?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Operator: "It says here you're in arrears on your car payments, so your car got repo'ed. But your Harley's paid for and you just filled the tank yesterday."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer: Well I'll be a "@#%/$@&amp;?#!&amp;?#!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Operator: "I'd advise watching your language, sir. You've already got a July 4, 2004 conviction for cussing out a cop and another one I see here in September for contempt at your hearing for cussing at a judge."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Oh yes I see here that you just got out from a 90 day stay in the State Correctional Facility. Is this your first pizza since your return to society?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer: (Speechless)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Operator: "Will there be anything else, sir?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer: "Yes, I have a coupon for a free 2 liter of Coke".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Operator: "I'm sorry sir, but our ad's exclusionary clause prevents us from offering free soda to diabetics. The New Constitution prohibits this. Thank you for calling Pizza Hut!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to Aricles/A Little Humor...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Top of the Page&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rhio' raw energy website - extensive information on the raw and living food lifestyle Home  raw and living foods events: vegetarian and organic foods preparation classes Hotline  genetically engineered foods, food Irradiation, organic foods, environmental pollution Action Forum  Information about live and raw foods, vegan, vegatarian and organic foods by listening to talks and lectures via audio files Articles  Information about live and raw foods, vegan, vegatarian and organic foods by listening to talks and lectures via audio files Raw Energy Radio&lt;br /&gt;raw and living foods: gourmet uncooked vegan and vegetarian food recipes Rhio's Book&lt;br /&gt;

So, he said to Mel,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Honey, I'll be right back."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Where are you going, coochycooh?" asked Mel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm going to the bar, pretty face. I'm going to have a beer."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mel said, "You want a beer, my love?" She opened the door to the refrigerator and showed him 25 different kinds of beer, brands from 12 different countries: Germany, Holland, Japan, India, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simon didn't know what to do, and the only thing that he could think of saying was, "Yes, lolly pop...but at the bar...you know...they have frozen glasses..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He didn't get to finish the sentence, because Mel interrupted him by saying, "You want a frozen glass, puppy face?" She took a huge beer mug out of the freezer, so frozen that she was getting chills just holding it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simon, looking a bit pale, said, "Yes, tootsie roll, but at the bar they have those hors d'oeuvres that are really delicious... I won't be long, I'll be right back. I promise. OK?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You want hors d'oeuvres, poochi pooh?"

To this end, I hold M&amp;M duels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply&lt;br /&gt;pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and&lt;br /&gt;splinters.  That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one&lt;br /&gt;immediately.  The winner gets to go another round.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&amp;Ms are&lt;br /&gt;tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior.  I&lt;br /&gt;have hypothesized that the blue M&amp;Ms as a race cannot survive&lt;br /&gt;long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern&lt;br /&gt;candy and snack-food world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is&lt;br /&gt;misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest.  Almost&lt;br /&gt;invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare&lt;br /&gt;occasions it gives the candy extra strength.  In this way, the&lt;br /&gt;species continues to adapt to its environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&amp;M, the&lt;br /&gt;strongest of the herd.  Since it would make no sense to eat&lt;br /&gt;this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it&lt;br /&gt;to M&amp;M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ&lt;br /&gt;17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use&lt;br /&gt;this M&amp;M for breeding purposes."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon&lt;br /&gt;for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&amp;Ms.  I consider this&lt;br /&gt;"grant money."  I have set aside the weekend for a grand&lt;br /&gt;tournament.  From a field of hundreds, we will discover the&lt;br /&gt;True Champion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There can be only one.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/809178441431631479-1610901839510080567?l=norealtopic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://norealtopic.blogspot.com/feeds/1610901839510080567/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=809178441431631479&amp;postID=1610901839510080567' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/809178441431631479/posts/default/1610901839510080567'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/809178441431631479/posts/default/1610901839510080567'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://norealtopic.blogspot.com/2007/06/m-natural-selection.html' title='M&amp;M Natural Selection'/><author><name>Chris Vaughan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16107775404694113306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809178441431631479.post-3933378458444884236</id><published>2007-06-01T14:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T09:52:16.601-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Mommy...

It pays well, there are all sorts of perks and you can set your own hours. However every Evil Overlord I've read about in books or seen in movies invariably gets overthrown and destroyed in the end. I've noticed that no matter whether they are barbarian lords, deranged wizards, mad scientists, or alien invaders, they always seem to make the same basic mistakes every single time. With that in mind, allow me to present...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   1. My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear Plexiglas visors, not face concealing ones.&lt;br /&gt;   2. My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.&lt;br /&gt;   3. My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not kept anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell in my dungeon.&lt;br /&gt;   4. Shooting is not too good for my enemies.&lt;br /&gt;   5. The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on the Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the Dragon of Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box. The same applies to the object which is my one weakness.&lt;br /&gt;   6. I will not gloat over my enemies predicament before killing them.&lt;br /&gt;   7. When I've captured my adversary and he says, "Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?" I'll say, "No." and shoot him. No, on second thought, I'll shoot him and then say "No."&lt;br /&gt;   8. After I kidnap the beautiful princess, we will be married immediately in a quiet civil ceremony, not a lavish spectacle in three weeks' time during which the final phase of my plan will be carried out.&lt;br /&gt;   9. I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button labelled, "Danger: Don Not Push". The big red button marked "Do Not Push" will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid enough to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will clearly not be labelled as such.&lt;br /&gt;  10. I will not interrogate my enemies in the inner sanctum - a small hotel room well outside my border will work just as well.&lt;br /&gt;  11. I will be secure in my superiority. Therefore, I will feel no need to prove it by leaving clues in the form of riddles or leaving my weaker enemies alive to show they pose no threat.&lt;br /&gt;  12. One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.&lt;br /&gt;  13. All slain enemies will be cremated, or at least several round of ammunition emptied into them, not left for dead at the bottom of the cliff. The announcement of their deaths, as well as any accompanying celebration, will be deferred until after the aforementioned disposal.&lt;br /&gt;  14. The hero is not entitled to a last kiss, a last cigarette, or any other form of last request.&lt;br /&gt;  15. I will never employ any device with a digital count-down. If I find that such a device is absolutely unavoidable. I will set it to activate when the counter reaches 117 and the hero is just putting his plan into operation.&lt;br /&gt;  16. I will never utter the sentence "But before I kill you, there's just one thing I want to know."&lt;br /&gt;  17. When I employ people as advisors, I will occasionally listen to their advice.&lt;br /&gt;  18. I will not have a son. Although his laughably under-planned attempt to usurp power would easily fail, it would prove a fatal distraction at a crucial point in time.&lt;br /&gt;  19. I will not have a daughter. She would be as beautiful as she was evil, but one look at the hero's rugged countenance and she'd betray her own father.&lt;br /&gt;  20. Despite its proven stress-relieving effect, I will not indulge in maniacal laughter. When so occupied, it's too easy to miss unexpected developments that a more attentive individual could adjust to accordingly.&lt;br /&gt;  21. I will hire a fashion designer to create original uniforms for my Legion of Terror, as opposed to some cheap knock-offs that make them look like Nazi stormtroopers, Roman foot soldiers, or savage Mongol hordes. All were eventually defeated and I want my troops to have a more positive mind-set.&lt;br /&gt;  22. No matter how tempted I am with the prospect of unlimited power, I will not consume any energy field bigger than my head.&lt;br /&gt;  23. I will keep a special cache of low-tech weapons and train my troops in their use. That way -- even if the heroes manage to neutralize my power generator and/or render the standard-issue energy weapons useless -- my troops will not be overrun by a handful of savages armed with spears and rocks.&lt;br /&gt;  24. I will maintain a realistic assessment of my strength and weaknesses. Even though this takes some fun out of the job, at least I will never utter the line "No, this cannot be! I AM INVINCIBLE!!!" (After that, death is usually instantaneous.)&lt;br /&gt;  25. No matter how well it would perform, I will never construct any sort of machinery which is completely indestructible except for one small and virtually inaccessible spot.&lt;br /&gt;  26. No matter how attractive certain members of the rebellion are, there is probably someone just as attractive which is not desperate to kill me. Therefore, I will think twice before ordering a prisoner sent to my bed chamber.&lt;br /&gt;  27. I will never build only one of anything important. All important systems will have redundant control panels and power supplies. For the same reason I will always carry at least two fully loaded weapons at all times.&lt;br /&gt;  28. My pet monster will be kept in a secure cage from which it cannot escape and into which I could not accidentally stumble.&lt;br /&gt;  29. I will dress in bright and cheery colors, and so throw my enemies into confusion.&lt;br /&gt;  30. All bumbling conjurers, clumsy squires, no-talent bards, and cowardly thieves in the land will be preemptively put to death. My foes will surely give up and abandon their quest if they have no source of comic relief.&lt;br /&gt;  31. All naive, busty tavern wenches in my realm will be replaced with surly, world-weary waitresses who will provide no unexpected reinforcements and/or romantic sub-plot for the hero or his side-kick.&lt;br /&gt;  32. I will not fly into a rage and kill a messenger who brings me bad news just to illustrate how evil I really am. Good messengers are hard to come by.&lt;br /&gt;  33. I won't require high-ranking female members of my organization to wear a stainless-steel bustier. Morale is better with a more casual dress-code. Similarly, outfits made entirely from black leather will be reserved for formal occasions.&lt;br /&gt;  34. I will not turn into a snake. It never helps.&lt;br /&gt;  35. I will not grow a goatee. In the old days they made you look diabolic. Now they just make you look like a disaffected member of Generation X.&lt;br /&gt;  36. I will not imprison members of the same party in the same cell block, let alone the same cell. If they are important prisoners, I will keep the only key to the cell door on my person instead of handing copies to every bottom-rung guard in the prison.&lt;br /&gt;  37. If my trusted lieutenant tell me my Legion of Terror is losing a battle, I will believe him.. After all, he's my trusted lieutenant.&lt;br /&gt;  38. If an enemy I have just killed has a younger sibling or offspring anywhere, I will find them and have them killed immediately, instead of waiting for them to grow up harboring feelings of vengeance towards me in my old age.&lt;br /&gt;  39. If I absolutely must ride into battle, I will certainly not ride at the forefront of my Legions of Terror, nor will I seek out my opposite number among his army.&lt;br /&gt;  40. I will be neither chivalrous nor sporting. If I have an unstoppable super-weapon, I will use it early and as often as possible instead of keeping it in reserve.&lt;br /&gt;  41. Once my power is secure, I will destroy all of those pesky time travel devices.&lt;br /&gt;  42. When I capture the hero, I will make sure I also get his dog, monkey, ferret, or whatever sickeningly cute little animal capable of untying ropes and filching keys that happens to follow him around.&lt;br /&gt;  43. I will maintain a healthy amount of skepticism when I capture the beautiful rebel and she claims she is attracted to my power and good looks and will gladly betray her companions if I just let her in on my plans.&lt;br /&gt;  44. I will only employ bounty hunters who work for money. Those who work for the pleasure of the hunt tend to do dumb things like even the odds to give the other guy a sporting chance.&lt;br /&gt;  45. I will make sure I have a clear understanding of who is responsible for what in my organization. For example, if my general screws up I will not draw my weapon, point it at him and say "And here is the price for failure." then suddenly turn and kill some random underling.&lt;br /&gt;  46. If an advisor says to me "My liege, he is but one man. What can one man possibly do?", I will reply "This." and kill the advisor.&lt;br /&gt;  47. If I learn that a callow youth has begun a quest to destroy me, I will slay him while he is still a callow youth instead of waiting for him to mature.&lt;br /&gt;  48. I will treat any beast which I control through magic or technology with respect and kindness. Thus if the control is ever broken, it will not immediately come after me for revenge.&lt;br /&gt;  49. If I learn the whereabouts of the one artifact which can destroy me, I will not send all of my troops out to seize it. Instead I will send them out to seize something else and quietly put a Want-Ad in the local paper.&lt;br /&gt;  50. My main computers will have their own special operating system that will be completely incompatible with standard IBM and Macintosh powerbooks.&lt;br /&gt;  51. If one of my dungeon guards begins expressing concern over the conditions of the beautiful princess' cell, I will immediately transfer him to a less people oriented position.&lt;br /&gt;  52. I will hire a team of board-certified architects and surveyors to examine my castle and inform me of any secret passages and abandoned tunnels that I might not know about.&lt;br /&gt;  53. If the beautiful princess that I capture says "I'll never marry you! Never, do you hear me, NEVER!!!", I will say "Oh well" and kill her.&lt;br /&gt;  54. I will not strike a bargain with a demonic being then attempt to double-cross it simply because I feel like being contrary.&lt;br /&gt;  55. The deformed mutants and odd-ball psychotics will have their place in my Legion of Terror. However before I send them out on important covert missions that require tact and subtlety, I will first see if there is anyone else equally qualified who would attract less attention.&lt;br /&gt;  56. My Legion of Terror will be trained in basic marksmanship. Any who cannot learn to hit a man-sized target at 10 meters will be used for target practice.&lt;br /&gt;  57. Before employing any captured artifacts or machinery, I will carefully read the owners manual.&lt;br /&gt;  58. If it becomes necessary to escape, I will never stop to pose dramatically and toss off a one-liner.&lt;br /&gt;  59. I will never build a sentient computer smarter than I am.&lt;br /&gt;  60. My five-year-old child advisor will also be asked to decipher any code I am thinking of using. If he breaks the code in under 30 seconds, it will not be used. Note: This also applies to passwords.&lt;br /&gt;  61. If my advisors ask "Why are you risking everything on such a mad scheme?" I will not proceed until I have a response that satisfies them.&lt;br /&gt;  62. I will design fortress hallways with no alcoves or protruding structural supports which intruders could use for cover in a firefight.&lt;br /&gt;  63. Bulk trash will be disposed of in incinerators, not compactors. And they will be kept hot, with none of this nonsense about flames going through accessible tunnels at predictable intervals.&lt;br /&gt;  64. I will see a compentant psychiatrist and get cured of all extremely unusual phobias and bizarre compulsive habits which could prove to be disadvantageous.&lt;br /&gt;  65. If I must have a computer system with publicly available terminals, the maps they display will have a room clearly marked as the Main Control Room. That room will be the Execution Chamber. The actual main control room will be marked as Sewage Overflow Containment.&lt;br /&gt;  66. My security keypad will actually be a fingerprint scanner. Anyone who watches someone press a sequence of buttons or dusts the pad for fingerprints and then subsequently tries to enter by repeating that sequence will trigger the alarm system.&lt;br /&gt;  67. No matter how many shorts we have in the system, my guards will be instructed to treat every surveillance camera malfunction as a full-scale emergency.&lt;br /&gt;  68. I will spare someone who saved my life sometime in the past. This is only reasonable as it encourages others to do so. However, the offer is good one time only. If they want me to spare them again, they'd better save my life again.&lt;br /&gt;  69. All midwives will be banned from the realm. All babies will be delivered at state-approved hospitals. Orphans will be placed in foster homes, not abandoned in the woods to be raised by creatures of the wild.&lt;br /&gt;  70. When my guards split up to search for intruders, they will always travel in groups of at least two. They will be trained so that if one of them disappears mysteriously while on patrol, the other will immediately initiate an alert and call for backup, instead of quizzically peering around a corner.&lt;br /&gt;  71. If I decide to test a lieutenant's loyalty and see if he/she should be made a trusted lieutenant, I will have a crack squad of marksmen standing by in case the answer is no.&lt;br /&gt;  72. If all the heroes are standing together around a strange device and begin to taunt me, I will pull out a conventional weapon, instead of using my unstoppable super weapon on them.&lt;br /&gt;  73. I will not agree to let the heroes go free if they win a rigged contest, even though my advisors assure me it is impossible for them to win.&lt;br /&gt;  74. When I create a multimedia presentation of my plan designed so that my five-year-old advisor can easily understand the details, I will not label the disk "Project Overlord" and leave it lying on top of my desk.&lt;br /&gt;  75. I will instruct my Legion of Terror to attack the heroes en masse, instead of standing around waiting while members break off and attack one or two at a time.&lt;br /&gt;  76. If the hero runs up to my roof, I will not run up after him and struggle with him in an attempt to push him over the edge. I will also not engage him at the edge of a cliff. (In the middle of a rope-bridge over a river of molten lava is not even worth considering.)&lt;br /&gt;  77. If I have a fit of temporary insanity and decide to give the hero the chance to reject a job as my trusted lieutenant, I will retain enough sanity to wait until my current trusted lieutenant is out of earshot before making the offer.&lt;br /&gt;  78. I will not tell my Legion of Terror "And he must be taken alive-" the command will be "And try to take him alive if it is reasonable practical."&lt;br /&gt;  79. If my doomsday device happens to come with a reverse switch, as soon as it has been employed it will be melted down and made into limited edition commemorative coins.&lt;br /&gt;  80. If my weakest troops fail to eliminate a hero, I will send out my best troops instead of wasting time with progressively stronger ones as he gets closer and closer to my fortress.&lt;br /&gt;  81. If I am fighting with the hero atop a moving platform, have disarmed him, and am about to finish him off and he glances behind me and drops flat, I too will drop flat instead of quizzically turning around to find out what he saw.&lt;br /&gt;  82. I will not shoot at any of my enemies if they are standing in front of the crucial support beam to a heavy, dangerously unbalanced structure.&lt;br /&gt;  83. If I'm eating dinner with the hero, put poison in his goblet, then have to leave the table for any reason, I will order new drinks for both of us instead of trying to decide whether or not to switch with him.&lt;br /&gt;  84. I will not have captives of one sex guarded by members of the opposite sex.&lt;br /&gt;  85. I will not use any plan in which the final step is horribly complicated, e.g. "Align the 12 stones of power on the sacred altar then activate the medallion at the moment of total eclipse." Instead it will be more alone the lines of "Push the button/"&lt;br /&gt;  86. I will make sure that my doomsday device is up to code and properly grounded.&lt;br /&gt;  87. My vats of hazardous chemicals will be covered when not in use. Also, I will not construct walkways above them.&lt;br /&gt;  88. If a group of henchmen fail miserably at a task, I will not berate them for incompetence then send the same group out to do the task again.&lt;br /&gt;  89. After I capture the hero's super weapon, I will not disband legions and relax my guard because I believe whoever holds the weapon is unstoppable. After all, the hero held the weapon and I took it from him.&lt;br /&gt;  90. I will not design my main control room so that every workstation is facing away from the door.&lt;br /&gt;  91. I will not ignore the messenger that stumbles in exhausted and obviously agitated until my personal grooming or current entertainment is finished. It might actually be important.&lt;br /&gt;  92. If I ever talk to the hero on the phone, I will not taunt him. Instead, I will say that his dogged perseverance has given me new insight on the futility of my evil ways and that if he leaves me alone for a few months of quiet contemplation I will likely return to the path of righteousness. (Heroes are incredibly gullible in this regard.)&lt;br /&gt;  93. If I decide to hold a double execution of the hero and the underling who failed or betrayed me, I will die first.&lt;br /&gt;  94. When arresting prisoners, my guards will not allow them to stop and grab a useless trinket of purely sentimental value.&lt;br /&gt;  95. My dungeon will have its own qualified medical staff complete with bodyguards. That way if a prisoner becomes sick and his cell mate tells the guard it's an emergency, the guard will fetch a trauma team instead of opening the cell for a look.&lt;br /&gt;  96. My door mechanisms will be designed so that blasting the control panel on the outside seals the door and blasting the control panel on the inside opens the door, not vice versa.&lt;br /&gt;  97. My dungeon cells will not be furnished with objects that contain reflective surfaces or anything that can be unraveled.&lt;br /&gt;  98. If an attractive young couple enters my realm, I will carefully monitor their activities. If I find they are happy and affectionate, I will ignore them. However, if circumstances have forced them together against their will and they spend all their time bickering and criticizing each other except during the intermittent occasions when they are saving each other' lives at which point there are hints of sexual tension, I will immediately order their execution.&lt;br /&gt;  99. Any data files of crucial importance will be padded to 1.45Mb.&lt;br /&gt; 100. Finally, to keep my subjects permanently locked in a mindless trance, I will provide each of them with free, unlimited internet access.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/809178441431631479-8941472923209620871?l=norealtopic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://norealtopic.blogspot.com/feeds/8941472923209620871/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=809178441431631479&amp;postID=8941472923209620871' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/809178441431631479/posts/default/8941472923209620871'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/809178441431631479/posts/default/8941472923209620871'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://norealtopic.blogspot.com/2007/05/how-to-be-successful-evil-overlord.html' title='How to be a Successful Evil Overlord'/><author><name>Chris Vaughan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16107775404694113306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809178441431631479.post-1192834292691229771</id><published>2007-05-31T19:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-31T19:49:54.801-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Colbert Explains AT&amp;T</title><content type='html'>&lt;embed src="http://colbertondemand.com/misc/flash/flvplayer.swf" flashvars="file=http://server1.vhmr.com/uploads/remote/videos/TheNewATT.flv&amp;autostart=false&amp;repeat=false&amp;overstretch=true&amp;width=500&amp;height=375&amp;image=http://colbertondemand.com/uploads/thumbs/bgembed_play.gif&amp;backcolor=0xffffff&amp;frontcolor=0x014a8c&amp;lightcolor=0x014a8c&amp;showdigits=false&amp;bufferlength=5&amp;fsreturnpage=http://colbertondemand.com/videos/The_Colbert_Report/The_new_ATandT&amp;watermark=http://colbertondemand.com/uploads/thumbs/wmembed_elogo.gif&amp;wmt=75&amp;wmx=280&amp;wmy=330&amp;link=http://colbertondemand.com/videos/The_Colbert_Report/The_new_ATandT" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" height="375" width="500"&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/809178441431631479-1192834292691229771?l=norealtopic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://norealtopic.blogspot.com/feeds/1192834292691229771/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=809178441431631479&amp;postID=1192834292691229771' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/809178441431631479/posts/default/1192834292691229771'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/809178441431631479/posts/default/1192834292691229771'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://norealtopic.blogspot.com/2007/05/colbert-explains-at.html' title='Colbert Explains AT&amp;T'/><author><name>Chris Vaughan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16107775404694113306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809178441431631479.post-7146646881401511048</id><published>2007-05-31T19:37:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-31T19:37:54.187-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Amazing Security</title><content type='html'>&lt;embed src="http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/135497/bush_interviewed_as_a_illegal_jumps_the_border.swf" width="400" height="345" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font size = 1&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.metacafe.com/watch/135497/bush_interviewed_as_a_illegal_jumps_the_border/"&gt;Bush interviewed as a Illegal Jumps the Border&lt;/a&gt;

He relies only on his gut feeling, a compass, or a treasure map.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#2 Parrots are the preferred pirate companion. Monkeys are an acceptable substitute, unless they fling their feces at people. Then they are an awesome substitute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#3 When fishing, a pirate uses either a sword, a knife, or his bare hands. Use of a hook is only acceptable in the event the pirate is missing a hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#4 Pirates shall always wear boots, except in the case of a peg leg. Then one boot is acceptable. Flip-flops are right out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#5 Pirates do not cry, except in the case of the loss of a shipload of rum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#6 When describing the size of a treasure, a pirate is required to exaggerate by at least 130%. Flowers are not treasure under any circumstances, unless said flowers are made out of gold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#7 A pirate shall never wear lipstick, nail polish, or capri pants. Actually, that kinda goes without saying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#8 No pirate shall discuss his feelings, unless his feelings include gutting a man from stem to stern and spilling his entrails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#9 A pirate should always remove his hat in the presence of a bartender.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#10 During a swordfight, swordfighting insults are required. In the event both participants are still alive at the end of the fight, the participant with the superior insults shall be declared the victor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#11 No pirate shall ever wear a "fanny pack".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#12 All foods prepared by a pirate must include rum, grog, or beer. Boone's and other "Wench Punch" is prohibited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#13 A pirate may never compliment another pirate on the softness of his hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#14 No pirate shall wear a bracelet or a necklace, unless it is the tooth or tusk of an animal he killed. If in the presence of cannibals, a necklace is acceptable camouflage, but only if said necklace is made of human toes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#15 Pirate Law: Dousing oneself in beer is a perfectly acceptable replacement for a shower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#16 No pirate shall drink Grog out of a glass. Grog is only to be consumed either straight from the barrel, or from a mug heavy enough to to kill a man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#17 Three-cornered hats, headbands and bandanas are the only acceptable headwear for pirates. Fedoras, bowler derbies, baseball caps, mickey ears, top hats, sombreros, or anything with lace and flowers will be removed from the vessel-- head included. A grace period of one minute is allowed for hats looted from a tailory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#18 A pirate shall never wrap presents. The only thing a pirate gives is a bludgerin'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#19 Pirate Law: A pirate does not use the word "Fabulous". Ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#20 No pirate shall attend a movie with less than an Arrrr rating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#21 Only a pirate is capable of killing another pirate. If you are not a pirate (let's say a ninja) and wish to challenge a pirate, they have a word for that. Corpse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#22 Pirate Law: "ARRRRRRRRRRR..." is a perfectly acceptable answer to any question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#23 A pirate does not "go shopping". Unless by "shopping", you mean "killing".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#24 Peglegs must be made of timber or some other suitable wood. Plastic, ceramic, porcelain, or metal peglegs are utterly unnacceptable, simply because it complicates the use of the phrase "shiver me timbers".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#25 Real pirates have chest hair. If you cannot grow chest hair, you may be a cabin boy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#26 Under no circumstances is a comb-over an acceptable pirate hairdo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#27 No pirate may ever change his shirt because it is "wrinkled". A pirate may only change his shirt if it is completely soaked in blood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#28 When drinking, Pirates may sing. "Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest" is preferred. Kelly Clarkson songs are not allowed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#29 No pirate shall ever drive a minivan, unless he drives the minivan into a tavern, for the purposes of looting barrels of rum from said tavern. Upon completion of this task, the minivan is to be burned. No exceptions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#30 No matter how hard it is raining, two pirates may never share an umbrella. Pirates do not fear rain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#31 If circumstances demand a career change, a move into real estate brokerage or tax collection shall be considered a lateral move and said individual may keep their pirate status.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#32 A pirate does not snuggle with an animal, unless he is trying to snap its neck. But I guess that wouldn't really be "snuggling".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#33 A pirate may never wear another man's clothing, unless he first kills that man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#34 Two pirates must never share a bed or a hammock. It is perfectly acceptable for one pirate to sleep on the floor, or on a pile of treasure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#35 Pirates do not wear eyeglasses or bifocals unless they are looking at a treasure map, and even then they are allowed only a monacle. Any comments about "Mr. Peanut" while wearing the monacle are prohibited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#36 When setting out on a voyage, a pirate does not pack a suitcase. He is only to bring what he can carry under his arms, or what his wench can carry on her back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#37 A pirate does not mow the lawn. Lawns are for landlubbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#38 Lifting or removing one's eyepatch is extremely impolite but is not considered an insult. It's just kinda gross. Likewise, one should never remove another pirate's eyepatch, except with a sword to the face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#39 Pirates never use the words "fresh" or "feelings," and certainly not together (as in "I have that not-so-fresh feeling").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#40 A pirate must never visit a tanning salon. If he is not already tan enough from searching for treasure, he hasn't been searching hard enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#41 While creativity is encouraged during any barfight or battle at sea, pirates may only use the following types of sword; falchions, scimitars, rapiers, and particularly long knives. Katanas or any other Ninja sword are strictly forbidden, unless the Pirate rips off a Ninja's arm and hurls the arm, and attached Katana, as a projectile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#42 No pirate shall ever sit on a toilet seat, for any reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#43 Kidnapping is an acceptable substitute for killing, but only if it is for the purpose of plank walking at a later time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#44 When swimming, pirates do not dive. They cannonball.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#45 Cannoneers aboard a pirate vessel are not allowed to use hearing protection of any sort. No matter what the OSHA regulations say, if ye can't stand bleedin' from the ears, you have no business being a Pirate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#46 A pirate will never wear a patch that is any other color than black; unless it's halloween. then they can wear a patch with an eyeball painted on the outside. Polka dots are not permitted under any circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#47 Female pirates are allowed some exception to rules concerning hygiene and garmentry, but must make up for it by using twice as much profanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#48 Hooks are the only acceptable hand substitute. However, they may not have secondary attachments such as screwdrivers, bottle openers, corkscrews, or nail files. These are Pirates we're talking about, not Inspector Gadget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#49 A pirate's diet consists mainly of meat. If at sea, and meat is not available, shoe leather is an acceptable replacement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#50 Pirate Law: You can't spell pirate, without "irate". There's a reason for that, so don't even try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#51 No pirate will ever, ever raise his pinky when drinking any sort of beverage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#52 Pirate Law: When choosing clothing, even if it looks dirty, or smells dirty, it is clean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#53 A pirate may ride in a rowboat, if traveling to or from his ship. Use of a Kayak is only permitted if used for cannon target practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#54 When drinking rum, the only thing a pirate adds to the rum is more rum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#55 The official Pirate religion is Pastafarianism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#56 No pirate shall ever play wiffle ball.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#57 Under no circumstances does a pirate speak with a Ninja, unless he first decapitates that Ninja and uses his head like a sock puppet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#58 When at the office, answering the telephone with "Arrrrrrr" is perfectly acceptable for pirates. Other acceptable choices are "Avast!", and "Ahoy Matey!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#59 A Pirate does not read poetry, unless said poetry is scrawled on the wall of a bathroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#60 All women are to be referred to as wenches, with the exception of female Pirates, who can be referred to as "lass".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#61 Pirates do not clean up, except when gold falls out of a treasure chest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#62 Spilling rum is not acceptable, except in the act of "pouring some out for dead mateys".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#63 A pirate may tell any tale of swashbuckling without being called on the details, as long as at least 51% of the story is true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#64 A pirate may never shave below the neck. Shaving above the neck is allowed, but only if the pirate shaves his entire head. In the presence of cannibals, a mohawk is acceptable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#65 No pirate may do the arm movements for "YMCA", or engage in country-western line-dancing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#66 Pirates do not say "please" or "thank you". The phrase "Arrr, I'll probably kill you tomorrow" is an acceptable alternative for "Thank you".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#67 Should the ship's bow have a carving of a naked wench, mermaid, or something of the like, crew members should not touch it. Feeling up a wooden statue is unbecoming of a pirate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#68 Pirates do not "IM". The only instant message allowed is a sword through the chest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#69 Dental Hygiene for Pirates is not a priority. Should there be occasion, however, strong rum or salt water can be used as mouthwash. Anything "minty fresh" is strictly forbidden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#70 Pirates never, ever obey laws. Period. Ironic, I realize.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/809178441431631479-6362355648174724386?l=norealtopic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://norealtopic.blogspot.com/feeds/6362355648174724386/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=809178441431631479&amp;postID=6362355648174724386' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/809178441431631479/posts/default/6362355648174724386'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/809178441431631479/posts/default/6362355648174724386'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://norealtopic.blogspot.com/2007/05/pirate-laws.html' title='Pirate Laws'/><author><name>Chris Vaughan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16107775404694113306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809178441431631479.post-6695321312898438855</id><published>2007-05-30T15:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-30T15:52:33.035-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Shitload of Facts</title><content type='html'>In 21 states, Wal-Mart is the single largest employer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of Hewlett Packard's first ideas was an automatic urinal flusher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you age, your eye color gets lighter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are more cars in Southern California than there are cows in India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two-foot long bird called a Kea that lives in New Zealand likes to eat the strips of rubber around car windows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The province of Alberta, Canada is completely free of rats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Illinois has the most personalized license plates of any state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two credit cards for every person in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The international telephone dialing code for Antarctica is 672.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The average chocolate bar has 8 insect legs in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are 206 bones in the adult human body, but 300 in children (some of the bones fuse together as a child grows).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fleas can jump 130 times higher than their own height. In human terms this is equal to a 6 foot person jumping 780 feet into the air.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Snakes are true carnivores as they eat nothing but other animals. They do not eat any type of plant material.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are no venomous snakes in Maine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The blue whale can produce sounds up to 188 decibels. This is the loudest sound produced by a living animal and has been detected as far away as 530 miles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The human eye blinks an average of 4,200,000 times a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It takes approximately 12 hours for food to entirely digest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Erosion at the base of Niagara Falls (USA) undermines the shale cliffs and as a result, the falls have receded approximately 7 miles over the last 10,000 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The longest living cells in the body are brain cells which can live an entire lifetime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch every year because when it was built engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;North Dakota has never had an earthquake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alexander Graham Bell (who invented the telephone) also set a world water-speed record of over seventy miles an hour at the age of 72.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is enough fuel in a full tank of a jumbo jet to drive an average car four times around the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hawaii is moving toward Japan 4 inches every year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chimps are the only animals that can recognize themselves in a mirror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The leg bones of a bat are so thin that no bat can walk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are more living organisms on the skin of a single human being than there are human beings on the surface of the earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marilyn Monroe had six toes on one foot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you keep a goldfish in the dark room, it will eventually turn white.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women blink nearly twice as much as men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almonds are members of the peach family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maine is the only state whose name is just one syllable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans on the average eat 18 acres of pizza every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One person in two billion will live to be 116 or older.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More people are killed by donkeys annually than are killed in plane crashes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lorne Greene had one of his nipples bitten off by an alligator while he was host of "Lorne Greene's Animal Kingdom".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dot that appears over the letter "i" is called a tittle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All major league baseball umpires must wear black underwear while on the job (in case their pants split).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Spanish word esposa means "wife."

The Ku Klux Klan is also involved in the adopt-a-road program in the state of Arkansas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spam filters that catch the word "cialis" will not allow many work-related e-mails through because that word is embedded inside the word "specialist".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McDonald's restaurants will buy 54,000,000 pounds of fresh apples this year. Two years ago, McDonald's purchased 0 pounds of apples. This is attributed to the shift to more healthy menu options (the Apple Pie, which has been at McDonald's for years uses processed Apple Pie Filling).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The biggest dog on record was an Old English Mastiff that weighed 343 pounds.

That debris includes dust mites (their droppings and their decaying bodies), mold, millions of dead skin cells, dandruff, animal and human hair, secretions, excretions, lint, pollen, dust, soil, sand and a lot of perspiration, of which the average person loses a quart per day.

Ani Saduki, 33, and his brother decided to remove a bees' nest from a shed on their property with the aid of a pineapple. A pineapple is an illegal firecracker which is the explosive equivalent of one-half stick of dynamite. They ignited the fuse and retreated to watch from inside their home, behind a window some 10 feet away from the hive/shed. The concussion of the explosion shattered the window inwards, seriously lacerating Ani. Deciding Mr. Saduki needed stitches, the brothers headed out to go to a nearby hospital. While walking towards their car, Ani was stung three times by the surviving bees. Unbeknownst to either brother, Ani was allergic to bee venom, and died of suffocation en-route to the hospital. &lt;br /&gt;#2 - Derrick L. Richards, 28, was charged in April in Minneapolis with third-degree murder in the death of his beloved cousin, Kenneth E. Richards. According to police, Derrick suggested a game of Russian roulette and put a semiautomatic pistol (instead of the more traditional revolver) to Ken's head and fired. &lt;br /&gt;#3 - PHILLIPSBURG, NJ. An unidentified 29 year old male choked to death on a sequined pastie he had orally removed from an exotic dancer at a local establishment. "I didn't think he was going to eat it," the dancer identified only as "Ginger" said, adding "He was really drunk." &lt;br /&gt;#5 - MOSCOW, Russia-A drunk security man asked a colleague at the Moscow bank they were guarding to stab his bulletproof vest to see if it would protect him against a knife attack. It didn't, and the 25-year-old guard died of a heart wound. (It's good to see the Russians getting into the spirit of the Darwin Awards.) &lt;br /&gt;#6 - In FRANCE, Jacques LeFevrier left nothing to chance when he decided to commit suicide. He stood at the top of a tall cliff and tied a noose around his neck. He tied the other end of the rope to a large rock. He drank some poison and set fire to his clothes. He even tried to shoot himself at the last moment. He jumped and fired the pistol. The bullet missed him completely and cut through the rope above him. Free of the threat of hanging, he plunged into the sea. The sudden dunking extinguished the flames and made him vomit the poison. He was dragged out of the water by a kind fisherman and was taken to a hospital, where he died of hypothermia. &lt;br /&gt;#7 - RENTON, WASHINGTON, USA. A Renton, Washington man tried to commit a robbery. This was probably his first attempt, as suggested by the fact that he had no previous record of violent crime, and by his terminally stupid choices as listed below: 1. The target was H&amp;J Leather &amp; Firearms...a gun shop. 2. The shop was full of customers, in a state where a substantial portion of the adult population is licensed to carry concealed handguns in public places. 3. To enter the shop, he had to step around a marked Police patrol car parked at the front door. 4. An officer in uniform was standing next to the counter, having coffee before reporting to duty. Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a holdup and fired a few wild shots. The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, removing him from the gene pool. Several other customers also drew their guns, but didn't fire. No one else was hurt. &lt;br /&gt;AND THE 1999 DARWIN AWARD WINNER IS..... THOMPSON, MANITOBA, CANADA. Telephone relay company night watchman Edward Baker, 31, was killed early Christmas morning by excessive microwave radiation exposure. He was apparently attempting to keep warm next to a telecommunications feed-horn. Baker had been suspended on a safety violation once last year, according to Northern Manitoba Signal Relay spokesperson Tanya Cooke. She noted that Baker's earlier infraction was for defeating a safety shut-off switch and entering a restricted maintenance catwalk in order to stand in front of the microwave dish. He had told coworkers that it was the only way he could stay warm during his twelve-hour shift at the station, where winter temperatures often dip to forty below zero. Microwaves can heat water molecules within human tissue in the same way that they heat food in microwave ovens. For his Christmas shift, Baker reportedly brought a twelve pack of beer and a plastic lawn chair, which he positioned directly in line with the strongest microwave beam. Baker had not been told about a tenfold boost in microwave power planned that night to handle the anticipated increase in holiday long-distance calling traffic. Baker's body was discovered by the daytime watchman, John Burns, who was greeted by an odor he mistook for a Christmas roast he thought Baker must have prepared as a surprise. Burns also reported to NMSR company officials that Baker's unfinished beers had exploded.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/809178441431631479-13308728298753533?l=norealtopic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://norealtopic.blogspot.com/feeds/13308728298753533/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=809178441431631479&amp;postID=13308728298753533' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/809178441431631479/posts/default/13308728298753533'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/809178441431631479/posts/default/13308728298753533'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://norealtopic.blogspot.com/2007/05/darwin-awards-1999.html' title='Darwin Awards 1999'/><author><name>Chris Vaughan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16107775404694113306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809178441431631479.post-1015853757696635269</id><published>2007-05-30T15:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-30T15:48:20.502-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Lawyer Joke</title><content type='html'>A guy is visiting San Francisco, and walks into a small store in Chinatown. He notices a small bronze statue of a rat. He asks the owner "how much", and the owner replies "$50 for the bronze rat, and $1000 for the story behind it". The guy says, "forget the story", and buys the rat. As he's walking down the street he notices two live rats following him. As he continues to walk, more rats start following him. He starts to get a little concerned, and heads for the waterfront. By the time he gets there there are thousands and thousands of rats following him. He walks up to the end of the pier and throws the bronze rat into the bay, and the rats all follow and leap off of the pier and drown. The guy rushes back to the store and walks in. The owner says, "Ah!, so your back for the story". The guys says, "no, I was wondering if you have any bronze lawyers?"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/809178441431631479-1015853757696635269?l=norealtopic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://norealtopic.blogspot.com/feeds/1015853757696635269/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=809178441431631479&amp;postID=1015853757696635269' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/809178441431631479/posts/default/1015853757696635269'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/809178441431631479/posts/default/1015853757696635269'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://norealtopic.blogspot.com/2007/05/lawyer-joke.html' title='Lawyer Joke'/><author><name>Chris Vaughan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16107775404694113306</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809178441431631479.post-7993235739221576657</id><published>2007-05-30T15:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-30T15:47:24.441-07:00</updated><title type='text'>First Post</title><content type='html'>So, I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you about the site.
