Macbook - Cooked

 

Macbook after 600 degrees fire

We have seen toasted Macbooks before but we have never seen anything like this. After a devastating fire at their Boulder home, Gwen and Paul returned to find their formerly sleek and shining white Macbook scorched beyond recognition.However the cause of the fire was not their Macbook.

Tick Warning

TICK WARNING!
 
I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done it
myself a couple times unintentionally... But this one is real, and it's
important. So please send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list.
 
If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks
due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance
around with your arms up, DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!! They only want
to see you naked.
 
I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid.

Amazing SawStop Cuts Anything But Your Fingers


SawStop is a safety feature that immediately stops and retracts a spinning saw blade if it comes in contact with anything that even remotely resembles your finger. Check out the startling video above, where it practically self-destructs in order to save this innocent hot dog's life. If that were actually your finger, you would escape with just a scratch and maybe need a stitch or two rather than running around your woodshop looking for your finger.

YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT

 

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway-but your waiter may know!

YOUR AGE BY DINER & RESTAURANT MATH

This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!


It takes less than a minute.
Work this out as you read.
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat.
(more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

 


4. Multiply it by 50

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1757 ....
If you haven't, add 1756.

 

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.


You should have a three digit number


The first digit of this was your original number
(I.e., how many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.)

The next two numbers are

YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2007) IT WILL EVER WORK

Okay, Nature call OR....well, you decide

Guts and Balls -The Medical Distinction

 

We've all heard about people having guts or balls, but do you Really
know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you Informed, the definition for each is listed below.

GUTS - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, Being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask, "Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?"

BALLS - is coming home late after a night out with the guys, Smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your Wife on the butt and having the balls to say, "You're next!"

I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions.

Medically speaking, there is no difference in the outcome since both ultimately result in death.

Okay, What Would You DO?

This one will make you look before you "go" next time.

UNBELIEVABLE
