Little Johnny's at it again..... A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, 'Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!' After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up. The teacher said, 'Do you think you're stupid, Little Johnny?' 'No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!'

* * * * * * * * * * *

Little Johnny watched, fascinated, as his mother smoothed cold cream on her face. 'Why do you do that, mommy?' he asked. 'To make myself beautiful,' said his mother, who then began removing the cream with a tissue. 'What's the matter?' asked Little Johnny. 'Giving up?'

* * * * * * * * * * *

The math teacher saw that little Johnny wasn't paying attention in class. She called on him and said,

'Johnny! What are 2 and 4 and 28 and 44?' Little Johnny quickly replied, 'NBC, FOX, ESPN and the Cartoon Network!'

* * * * * * * * * * *

Little Johnny's kindergarten class was on a field trip to their local police station where they saw pictures tacked to a bulletin board of the 10 most wanted criminals. One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person. 'Yes,' said the policeman. 'The detectives want very badly to capture him.'Little Johnny asked, 'Why didn't you keep him when you took his picture ?'

Little Johnny attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse's legs and rump, and chest. After a few minutes, Johnny asked, 'Dad, why are you doing that?' His father replied, 'Because when I'm buying horses,I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy. Johnny, looking worried, said, 'Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy Mom .'

An American businessman's letter to Obama

Mr. Obama,

Given the uproar about the simple question asked you by Joe the plumber, and the persecution that has been heaped on him because he dared to question you, I find myself motivated to say a few things to you myself. While Joe aspires to start a business someday, I already have started not one, but 4 businesses. But first, let me introduce myself. You can call me "Cory the well driller". I am a 54 year old high school graduate. I didn't go to college like you, I was too ready to go "conquer the world" when I finished high school. 25 years ago at age 29, I started my own water well drilling business at a time when the economy here in East Texas was in a tailspin from the crash of the early 80's oil boom. I didn't get any help from the government, nor did I look for any. I borrowed what I could from my sister, my uncle, and even the pawn shop and managed to scrape together a homemade drill rig and a few tools to do my first job. My businesses did not start as a result of privilege. They are the result of my personal drive, personal ambition, self discipline, self reliance, and a determination to treat my customers fairly. From the very start my business provided one other (than myself) East Texan a full time job. I couldn't afford a backhoe the first few years (something every well drilling business had), so I and my helper had to dig the mud pits that are necessary for each and every job with hand shovels. I had to use my 10 year old, 1/2 ton pickup truck for my water tank truck (normally a job for at least a 2 ton truck).

Prophet cartoon row in Indonesia

The Indonesian government says it has called on a blogging website to take down two cartoons which depict Muslim Prophet Muhammad in sexual situations.

The communications minister said the drawings were "very inappropriate", and said if necessary he would ask internet service providers to block the site.

The cartoons, which appeared on the website last month, have provoked fierce debate among viewers.

Many Muslims believe it is forbidden to depict Muhammad in any form.

The two cartoons, which are several pages long, each tell a sexually explicit story involving the Prophet, interspersed with verses apparently lifted from the Koran.

Indonesia's communications minister described the cartoons as "very unethical and very inappropriate".

He said the ministry was asking the website to remove them. And if necessary, he said, it would ask internet service providers to block access to the website itself.

A ministry spokesman said the cartoons were offensive, not just to Muslims, but to all religions.

There were protests in Indonesia two years ago when cartoons depicting Muhammad appeared in a Danish newspaper.

Of course the BBC doesn't publish the names of the blogs, because, Allah forbid, they should anger their overlords.

re: #114 jcm

NOVA had a 2 piece on Biblical archeology last night, actually quite good.

The Bible's Buried Secrets

If you want to play paranoia then think of the implications of Nova's position. They claimed the Jewish Bible was all wrong. They said that Jews did not migrate from Mesopotamia, did not invent monotheism, and did not escape from slavery in Egypt. If monotheism was borrowed from the Midianites and the Jews were just runaway peasants who joined with a few runaway slaves who had heard of a Midianite god then there is nothing special about Judaism or the Jewish claim to Israel. The Palestinians can claim that they are as legitimate as the Jews, since the Jews were just rebels against the local Canaanite/Palestinian establishment anyway. Muslims can claim that since the Jews got their revelation second hand from Midianites via runaway slaves the claims that Mohammad was needed to correct and purify the revelation that the Jews got wrong can be justified.

re: #127 Nevergiveup

I read something about that. They acknowledged that King David existed but cast doubt on Moses and the Exodus?

The worked strictly with what could be proved with sources outside the Biblical text. The could link Israel and Egypt in the time of Ramses, but there is a lack of specific archeological evidence for the Exodus, it's more like without evidence they can't confirm it. The Merneptah Stele dated at 1208 BCE specifically references Israel. What they do, do is use the evidence that is available to construct a narrative.

In my opinion, the evidence with narrative they developed and the Biblical narrative are not exclusive.

Syria and UK 'share intelligence'

Syria and Britain have been holding high-level intelligence talks in order to combat terrorism, Syrian officials have told the BBC.

The officials said preparatory meetings had been going on for several months in secret before the news was leaked by the UK's Times newspaper on Wednesday.

They added new levels of co-operation had been reached during the UK foreign secretary's visit to Syria this week.

David Miliband said Syria could play a constructive role fostering stability.

Ah, the old "Arab tyranny, oppression, occupation and totalitarianism is fine if it causes stability" routine.

Well, I guess I'll have to start referring to the UK as a state supporter of terrorism.

Good news: Canadian school deputizes RA’s to police students for political incorrectness

Students at Queen’s University who sprinkle their dialogue with an assortment of “homo” or “retarded” could find out the hard way that not everyone finds their remarks acceptable.
The Kingston university has hired student facilitators to step in when they overhear homophobic slurs, remarks bashing women or racially tinged insults, along with an array of other language that could be deemed offensive…
“If people are having a conversation with offensive content and they’re doing it loud enough for a third person to hear it … it’s not private,” said Jason Laker, dean of student affairs at Queen’s…
“Having a program like this in place could stifle public discussion if people are worried their private conversations are being monitored,” said Angela Hickman, managing editor of the Queen’s Journal, a campus newspaper. “For a lot of people, their opinions get formed in conversations and so stifling that is dangerous.”

re: #195 lifeofthemind

Good point. If you want to be paranoid, which is a possibility in the media.

However I trust archeologist to be a bit more data driven.

For me I took the point of view that a spritual revelation will be virtually impossible to prove archeology. I think that even a new revelation will be expressed in familiar terms. So to an archeologists, something new expressed in familiar terms will look like a continuation of the former familiar terms.

I started watching it as skeptic but was pleasantly surprised.
