Lessons to learn

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her
shower, when the doorbell rings.

The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When
she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before
she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel."

After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands
naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars
and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back
upstairs.

When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"

"It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies

"Great!" the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"

The TV Deal the NBA Wishes It Had Not Made

I love capitalism!  30 years ago, two brothers owned an ABA basketball team and forged a deal for a small percentage of the TV revenues from 4 new teams entering the NBA from the ABA.  Their attorney did them a "solid" by writing this into the contract:

"The right to receive such revenues shall continue for as long as the NBA or its successors continues in its existence."

Yeah, since 1976 their team has folded and the NBA must still pay these guys.  This year alone, their cut could be $24,000,000.  For.Doing.Nothing .

Good job, boys!

Microsoft working on something amazing

For the first time in a loooong time MS is working on something REALLY cool.  Imagine collaborating online automatically with millions of other people who have taken photos of the same place/thing you have.... this tool will give you the ability to walk through the photos in the third dimension, and click on any one shot to see more detail.

Looking forward to this!  http://labs.live.com/photosynth/video.html

Nasty NASCAR crash at Bristol

This is damn cool!

I bet this game can guess your animal, vegetable, or mineral in 20 questions or less!

When it started asking me "Is it furry?" on question 12 when my item was a stuffed animal - I laughed out loud!

FREAKY!

One in 50-100 million

A rare two-toned lobster is seen in this Thursday, July 13, 2006, photo taken in Bar Harbor, Maine. The lobster caught by Alan Robinson in Dyer's Bay is a typical mottled green on one side; the other side is a shade of orange that looks cooked. Robinson, of Steuben, donated the lobster to the Mount Desert Oceanarium. Staff members say the odds or finding a half-and-half lobster are 1 in 50 million to 100 million. (AP Photo/The Daily News, Abigail Curtis)

It looks half cooked!!!! Yummy.

And a shout out to Scotty B and Chris who both sent this to me.

Meekrosoft Hep Wine

I thought this was hilarious. A Microsoft Tech calls a customer back and leaves a phone message attempting to address the problems the user was having with their computer.

It's a banner day!

For those golfers out there, you will understand why today is a day that I will cherish for many years to come. On July 9. 2006, I broke 100!

With a 99. Is there any other way to break 100?

For those who are not golfers, this hump is one that average golfers like me hope to do when we first start playing. Really - it's the first major accomplishment. A little like your first bogey, par, and birdie. But when you break 100, you had a consistent game all day.

Thank you, thank you - I'll be here all weekend.

Trading One Red Paperclip for a House?

Remember this post? Well, it seems it only takes a year to trade one red paper clip for a house!

Kyle will trade a movie role for a house on 503 Main St, Kipling Saskatchewan Canada.

Here's how he did it: A fish pen for a doorknob, a doorknob for a Coleman stove, a Coleman stove for one red generator, one red generator for an instant party with beer and all, an instant party for a skidoo, a skidoo for a trip to Yank, a trip to Yank for a cube van, a cube van for a recording contract, a recording contract for free rent to a house in Phoenix for a year, free rent for one year for and afternoon with Alice Cooper, an afternoon with Alice Cooper for a KISS snow globe, a snow globe for a movie role, a movie role for A HOUSE.

Oh, and he will take possession of his house exactly one year from the date he posted the red paperclip for trade. Pretty cool, huh?
