THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE


It was such a pack of scoundrels that Bududreen led toward the north campong to bear away the treasure. In the breast of the leader was the hope that he had planted enough of superstitious terror in their hearts to make the sight of the supposed author of their imagined wrongs sufficient provocation for his murder; for Bududreen was too sly to give the order for the killing of a white man--the arm of the white man's law was too long--but he felt that he would rest easier were he to leave the island with the knowledge that only a dead man remained behind with the secret of his perfidy.

  Human Anatomy Fact




anpphoto.jpg (11355 bytes)The amount of hair covering ones head varies from one individual to another. A average person has about 100,000 hairs on their scalp. Most redheads have about 90,000 hairs, blonds have about 140,000 hairs. Brunettes fall in between these two figures. Each hair grows about 5 inches every year. Most people shed between 50 to 100 hairs each day.

A forensic scientist can obtain a lot of information from a single strand of human hair. The age and sex of the owner of the hair can readily be determined. Information such as the drugs and narcotics the owner may have taken can also be determined. Now through DNA evaluation even more information can be obtained from a single human hair. Sample comparisons can determine from whose head the hair came from.

Hair does not actually turn gray or white as we age. It turns translucent, The hair follicles stop manufacturing pigment. This causes the hair to appear increasingly white as light passes through the hair.

Today's SMILE

 

A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Proverbs 17:22 (NIV)

 
   

 

 

"What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable."

Joseph Addison

 

A FEW SMILES   

 

smileDog Talk -

Two poodles were chatting.

"I can't figure it out," said the first dog. "I'm in perfect physical shape, but I'm constantly anxious."

The second dog says, "Why don't you go to a psychiatrist?"

To this the first dog remarks, "How can I? I'm not allowed on the couch!!"

  Hand me that...uh...that uh.....thingie.

  Oops! Hey, has anyone ever survived 500ml of this stuff  before?

  Rats, there go the lights again...

  Ya know, there's big money in kidneys. Heck, the guy's got   two of 'em.

  Everybody stand back! I lost my contact lens!

REMEMBER WHEN...

A computer was something on TV from a science fiction show.

A window was something you hated to clean...

and Ram was the cousin of a goat.

A byte was something you took when you ate,

Meg was the name of my honey....

Hardware was used to lock a door...

Gig was a musician's job for money.

An application was for employment,

A program was a TV show....

A cursor used profanity,

A keyboard was a piano.....

Compress was something you did to garbage,
Not something you did to a file...

And if you unzipped anything in public You'd be in jail for a while.

Log on was adding wood to a fire,

Hard drive was a long trip on the road.

A mouse pad was where a mouse lived....

A backup happened to your commode.

Cut you did with a pocket knife,
Paste you did with glue....

A web was a spider's home

And a virus was the flu.


Don't worry about the world ending today... It's already tomorrow in Australia. Unless you're in Australia... (then start worrying).


Hunting Bear


A pastor from Maine skipped services one Sunday to go bear hunting in the mountains. As he turned the corner along the path, he and a bear collided. The pastor stumbled backwards, slipped off the trail, and began tumbling down the mountain with the bear in hot pursuit. Finally the pastor crashed into a boulder, sending his rifle in one direction and breaking both legs.

As the bear closed in, the pastor cried out in desperation, "Lord, I'm sorry for what I have done. Please forgive me and save me! Lord, please make that bear a Christian."

Suddenly the bear skidded to a halt at the pastor's feet, fell to its knees, clasped its paws together and said, "God, bless this food which I am about to receive.

Good News Bad News

An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any interest in his
paintings on display at that time.

"I have good news and bad news," the owner replied. "The good news is that a gentleman enquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after your death. When I told him it would, he bought all 15 of your paintings."

"That's wonderful!" the artist exclaimed. "What's the bad news?"

"The guy was your doctor."
