I'm an idealist. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.
Carl Sandburg
sar·don·ic adjective. Scornfully or cynically mocking. Synonym
sarcastic. [French sardonique, from Greek sardonios,
alteration of sardanios.]
Yet I had not forgotten his faults; indeed, I could not, for he brought them
frequently before me. He was proud, sardonic,
harsh to inferiority of every description: in my secret soul I knew that his great
kindness to me was balanced by unjust severity to many others.

Charlotte Bronte

If you have ever been awake late at night
and listening to the radio you might have noticed that you can tune into radio stations
that are quite far away. These are stations that you probably could not tune in to during
the day. Am stations have a wider range of broadcast at night. This increase in signal
range is caused by the nature of the ionosphere of the Earth. SOURCE: The Handy Science Answer Book - Visible Press

A FEW SMILES A Conversation Between Moses and God
A guy gets shipwrecked. When he wakes up, he's on a beach. The sand is purple. He can't believe it. The sky is purple. He walks around a bit and sees that there is purple grass, purple birds and purple fruit on the purple trees. He's shocked when he finds that his skin is starting to turn purple too. "Oh no!!" he says, "I think I've been marooned!!" A police officer sees a man driving around with a pickup truck full of penguins. He pulls the guy over and says: "You can't drive around with penguins in this town! Take them to the zoo immediately." The guy says OK, and drives away. The next day, the officer sees the guy still driving around with the truck full of penguins - and they're all wearing sun glasses. He pulls the guy over and demands: "I thought I told you to take these penguins to the zoo yesterday?" The guy replies: "I did . . today I'm taking them to the beach!" |
