Quote that struck me as funny
In a voiceover for his film “An Inconvenient Truth,” Al Gore introduces himself, “I am Al Gore. I used to be the next president of the United States of America.”

I can’t wait to see what Pyrophage does with this one.
Cat entertaining itself
This cat cracks me up - it has found something to do with it’s day.
Joke for the day
A computer programmer happens across a frog in the road. The frog pipes up, “I’m really a beautiful princess and if you kiss me, I’ll stay with you for a week”. The programmer shrugs his shoulders and puts the frog in his pocket.
A few minutes later, the frog says “OK, OK, if you kiss me, I’ll give you great sex for a week”. The programmer nods and puts the frog back in his pocket.
A few minutes later, “Turn me back into a princess and I’ll give you great sex for a whole year!”. The programmer smiles and walks on.
Finally, the frog says, “What’s wrong with you? I’ve promised you great sex for a year from a beautiful princess and you won’t even kiss a frog?” “I’m a programmer,” he replies. “I don’t have time for sex…. But a talking frog is pretty neat.”
First ever photographs of live kraken
Apparently I missed this thanks to Hurricane Katrina coverage. The kraken, also known as the giant squid, is a creature that we only knew existed because corpses would wash ashore from time to time, but in September of last year a Japanese research vessel was able to lure and photograph a live giant squid.

Thought for the day ~ Billy Crystal
By the time a man is wise enough to watch his step, he’s too old to go anywhere. ~ Billy Crystal
Jeff the Astronaut
Jeff is always entertained by those that think the moon landing didn’t happen. And I think he likes it so much because he knows that it didn’t.
Neil Armstrong got all of the credit for being the first to set foot on the moon, but in reality, all of those pictures “from the moon” are really Jeff. Armstrong really was an astronaut and had done some space walks and other technical feats, but landing on the moon is just beyond our feeble capabilities. But the U.S. needed a victory, so they cooked up a moon landing, and set it in the Craters of the Moon national monument in Idaho. Now, paying an Astronaut to pretend to go into space is really impractical, so they hired an actor instead. As you may know, actors can’t be trusted to keep their mouths shut about much of anything. That’s where Jeff came in. He was willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and he got the gig. Plus the fact that no one knows, or cares, who he is. And the rest, as they say, is history.
This experience has fostered a distinct lack of trust of scientists in Jeff. And he now only believes those scientific truths that he can verify for himself. He has his own genetics lab at home for just such a purpose, and is actively working to find solid evidence of evolution, because if there is one group of people distrusts more than scientists, it’s the clergy.
Tune in tomorrow as we explore more of the unknown exploits of Jeff the adventuring actor.
