........heh
Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a
doubt that the bills weren't representative of their actual usage and no
matter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued. Although they
could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems;
first the water meter, then outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes,
faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc, all to no avail.
One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water
running downstairs. He finally tore himself from his sick bed & went to
investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of such high water bills.
Apparently this was happening all day long when they were not at home.
Knowing that few would believe him, he taped a segment of the
'problem' for posterity! Now watch the video!
....Now a lot of you Folkes have heard me crow about my Kittehs using the toilet instead of that nasty smelling litter box thing.....
And on ocassion, I have wished that they flushed also....
Mebbe I won't go to the trouble of teaching them.....
Idle hand....or paws, are the devil's workshop.

I Hate monkeys.........

.....and I don't like giving them a voice on my Blog....but ol' Wollf is a reasonable sort, and This was too good to pass up.......
Monkey eluding police can be found on Facebook
WTSP-TV, Tampa, Fla.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -
Wildlife officers can't find him.
Police officers can't find him.
But apparently, a monkey that has managed to elude capture for months can be found on Facebook.
After being spotted in a tree Wednesday, the monkey, which is thought to be a male 30-pound rhesus macaque, led wildlife and police officials on a five-hour chase. In the end, the monkey remained on the lam.
Pinellas County wildlife expert Vernon Yates managed to hit the animal with a tranquilizer dart. It became sedated and appeared to fall asleep while clinging to a branch in the top of a tree. When a second tranquilizer dart was fired at the primate, it awoke and then bolted from the tree.
The chase was then on as officials tried to keep up with the animal as it jumped from tree to tree. It eventually jumped on the ground and quickly ran from authorities.
"It was extremely agile, like I'm talking Spiderman agile," said Marc Ortiz after he tried tackling the monkey.
By early Thursday morning, the monkey had two pages on Facebook.
One is called Gomonkey Go and was created by St. Petersburg resident Kurt Thompson.
"I have been following the monkey story for the last few months, and I thought he needed a voice," Thompson said. "I thought this was really funny, and my girlfriend agreed."
As of 6:30 a.m. Thursday, Gomonkey Go had 33 friends on Facebook. Thompson's goal is to gain 100 friends in 24 hours.
He's got some competition.
Someone else created a Facebook fan page called Mystery Monkey of Tampa Bay.
Early Thursday morning, the page's status update read: "You think two darts is going to slow me down... Hahahahahah Suka!"
An earlier status update read: "Had a close call today but I move with the quickness......."
Under personal interests, Mystery Monkey lists "primate" as his affiliation, and "bananas" and "messing with the popo" among his interests.
You want to check his Facebook? Go HERE
Or....do you want to listen in on the PoPo,(that's Cop in young'un language), while they're chasing and he's eluding? Well then, go HERE INSTEAD
At least he's not throwing poop yet.......

LOL, indeed.....Go Monkey!!

From Pravda......
Russia’s Defense Ministry has shown interest in the new electomechanical rifle the performance of which exceeds that of sniper weapons. The rifle was invented by a schoolboy in the city of Ufa.......

Maxim Kotelnikov, an eighth-grader, designed his weapon after he had seen a TV program about the use of similar rifles in the USA and Korea.
It took the boy a year to design the new weapon. He used his friend’s broken game rifle as the basis......See the report today in the News that the ATF confiscated $12,000.00 worth of Air Soft guns from a retailer in Florida because they could "easily" be converted to machine guns????
The rifle weighs nearly six kilos; it fires special cartridges that need to be magnetized in advance.
Russia’s Defense Ministry showed interest in the new weapon and asked the boy’s permission to test his rifle.
“This weapon is unique for it fires noiselessly. There is no shock of discharge and a shot does not produce a flare. No other sniper rifle can do it. I designed my own system, which I called the “Nucleus System,” the boy said.
The rifle is based on the principle of accelerating coil. The rifle is powered with electricity only. A bullet gathers speed immediately, PolitOnline reports with referecne to Life.ru.
Maxim showed his creation to his teacher of physics. The teacher sent the wunderkind to St. Petersburg, where the boy took part in “Russia’s Young Intellectuals” forum... Imagine a 15 year old showing his teacher this creation here in the States? Can you spell LOCKDOWN/FRENZY/HYSTERIA???
The 15-year-old boy took the first place at the forum and received a special invitation for practice at the defense ministry.
All further tests of Maxim’s weapon will be conducted under the guidance of ministerial scientists.
The boy will assemble three other rifles in St. Petersburg during one month.
If the tests are successful, it is not ruled out that the electromagnetic sniper rifle will be launched into serial production for the needs of the Russian armed forces.
I don't like this weapon.....oh sure, I want one, but I don't like what it portends. Noiseless, flashless....make the Sniper even more invisible... Maybe I'm getting old.
And then again, maybe I'm just "old "school".....my Barret or Dragunov over this thing any day of the week.

Just saying.....

Remember the UC San Diego Noose?
.....Oh the Irony almost hurts.....
The bit of emphasis is mine...makes the irony a bit clearer.
The UC San Diego student reportedly responsible for hanging a noose last week in a campus library issued a public, but anonymous, apology Monday and said she had no racist motivation.
The noose's discovery set off protests at a school that is already tense from recent racially charged episodes and triggered condemnations from UC leaders and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
In a letter published Monday on the front page of the UC San Diego student newspaper, the Guardian, the student wrote that the incident was "a mindless act and stupid mistake" and was not meant to recall the lynching of blacks.
"As a minority student who sympathizes with the students that have been affected by the recent issues on campus, I am distraught to know that I have unintentionally added to their pain," the student wrote. She was suspended Friday and remains under investigation for a possible hate crime.
Moral of the story? Well, my Children, sometimes a noose is just a noose, a prank is just a prank, and dumb is just dumb......not rascist.
