Ceredwin's Cauldron / "Quote"

« on: January 30, 2014, 02:10:56 pm »

I just love this quote from Pete Seeger.


"Do you know the difference between education and experience?

Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't."

General Discussion / Ereaders

« on: December 01, 2012, 08:15:53 pm »

My husband has offered to buy me one, but I have no idea which one is better.
I believe Kindle (amazon.com) has the biggest choices in book and somewhere I also read they could be cheaper, but they do not support Epub yet, which is starting to be very popular. It also has advertisements which some people find annoying.
Nook ( barnes and nobles ) Seems also a great choice. It supports Epub, and offers a vast choice of books even if maybe smaller than Kindle.
Nexus seems to be the most enjoyable one but will only accept things bought from Google store which at this point is not very attractive.
I don't know much about Sony.
IPads are a little pricy and I don't think they do enough more then my Itouch to justify owning one. (Correct me if I am wrong!)

Thank you for your opinion!!

Ceredwin's Cauldron / Password

« on: October 31, 2012, 11:29:19 pm »

 
A woman was helping her husband with his new computor.
Once the installation completed, she tells her husband to choose a password.
She advises him to choose a word he will remember because he will need to use it to open his new session.
The man, a little macho, wants to convey a message to his wife. He cannot wait to see her reaction.
When he computor restarts and ask for the password, he watches his wife as he types it:

P...
E...
N...
I...
S...

After he pressed enter, his wife started laughing like mad.
 
The computor had answered her husband back:

Too short...
Access denied!

Flotsam and Jetsam / The dead cow lecture

« on: December 03, 2011, 04:58:48 am »

The Dead Cow Lecture
This is the best example for paying attention that I have ever heard.

First-year students at the Purdue Vet School were attending their first anatomy class with a real dead cow. They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet.

The professor started the class by telling them, "In Veterinary medicine it is necessary to have two important qualities as a doctor. The first is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the animal's body." For an example, the professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the cow, withdrew it, and stuck his finger in his mouth.

"Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his students.

The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took turns sticking a finger in the butt of the dead cow and sucking on it.

When everyone finished, the Professor looked a them and said, "The second most important quality is observation. Note: I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention. Life's tough but it's even tougher if you're stupid."

Flotsam and Jetsam / A Cajun Shrimper

« on: October 25, 2010, 03:21:53 pm »

   
Here is some Cajun math for you.

A Cajun Shrimper wants a job cleaning up the oil spill, but
the BP Foreman won't hire him until he passes a little math
test.

Here is your first question, the foreman said. 'Without
using numbers, represent the number 9.'

'Without numbers?' The Cajun says, 'Dat is easy.' And
proceeds to draw three trees. 'What's this?' the boss asks

'Ave you got no brain? Tree and tree and tree make nine,'
says the Cajun.

'Fair enough,' says the boss. 'Here's your second question.
Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99.'

The Cajun stares into space for a while, then picks up the
picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each
tree. 'Ere you go.' The boss scratches his head and says,
'How on earth do you get that to represent 99?'

'Each of DA trees is dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and
dirty tree, and dirty tree. Dat is 99.'

The boss is getting worried that he's going to actually have
to hire this Cajun, so he says, 'All right, last question.
Same rules again, but represent the number 100.'

The Cajun stares into space some more, then he picks up the
picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each
tree and says, 'Ere you go. One hundred.' The boss looks at
the attempt. 'You must be nuts if you think that represents
a hundred!'

The Cajun leans forward and points to the marks at the base
of each tree and says, 'A little dog come along and poop by
each tree.. So now you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree
and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, which make one
hundred.'

The Cajun is now the new supervisor.

Flotsam and Jetsam / The living will

The Living Will....

 

A man and his wife were sitting in the living room
and he said to her,  "Just so you know, I never
want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on
some machine and fluids from a bottle.  If that
ever happens, just pull the plug."
His wife got up, unplugged the TV and threw out
all of his beer

Flotsam and Jetsam / Bubba

« on: September 03, 2008, 09:04:35 pm »

Bubba was bragging to his boss one day, "You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them. "

 

Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, "OK, Bubba how about Tom Cruise? " "Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it. " So Bubba and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door, and sure enough, Tom Cruise, shouts, "Bubba! Great to see you! You and your friend come right in and join me for lunch! "

 

Although impressed, Bubba's boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Bubba that he thinks Bubba's knowing Cruise was just lucky.

 

"No, no, just name anyone else, " Bubba says.

 

"President Bush, " his boss quickly retorts.

 

"Yep, " Bubba says, "I know him, let's fly out to Washington. " And off they go. At the White House, Bush spots Bubba on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, "Bubba, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up. "

 

Well, the boss is very shaken by now, but still not totally convinced.

 

After they leave the White House ! grounds, he expresses his doubts to Bubba, who again implores him to name anyone else.

 

"The Pope, " his boss replies. "Sure! " says Bubba. "I've known the Pope a long time. " So off they fly to Rome.

 

Bubba and his boss are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Bubba says, "This will never work. I can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope. " And he disappears into the crowd headed toward St. Peter's.

 

Sure enough, half an hour later Bubba emerges with the Pope on the balcony. But by the time Bubba returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics. Working his way to his boss's side, Bubba asks him, "What happened? "

 

His boss looks up and says, "I was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the Japanese tourist next to me asked, "Who's that on the balcony with Bubba? "

Flotsam and Jetsam / Repercussions

« on: September 03, 2008, 01:44:44 pm »

The plane took off from John F Kennedy airport.

After reaching its cruising heights, the pilot adresses the passengers via the intercom:


-Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Captain Henry Zimmer speaking.  The weather is excellent, and we expect a flight with no incident.
We should arrive in London at 8:35.    After the movie, I suggest you greatly to take it easy and relax... OH NO! GOD NO!

There is a sudden sharp noise and then nothing more. No one moves. The plane maintains its flight path and height, but the hostesses are smiling nervously.

After a few minutes, the captain comes back to the microphone:

-I want to apologize for the incident, but someone just dropped some really hot coffee on me. You should see the front of my pants!

-That is nothing!   shouts a passenger from the back of the plane.  You should she the back of mine now!

Flotsam and Jetsam / The truth always comes out

« on: September 03, 2008, 01:14:43 pm »

A man was in a coma for a while...

His wife was at his side day and night.

One day, the man woke up.

Signaling his wife to come near him he whispers her:

During all these bad luck, YOU were by my side.

When I was fired, YOU were with me.

When we lost our house, YOU stayed by my side.

When I had my ski accident, you were by my side.

And when I got really serious health complications, YOU were always by my side.

You know what?

The woman's eyes filled with tears *What dear?" she whispered.



*Jesus Christ, YOU bring me bad luck!"
