Don’t You?

I think I need one of these. They are made in England:

Or maybe one of these. You can get them here in the U.S. now:

Don’t you think I should get one? If so, which would be better? Be honest now. Share your true feelings.

In From E-mail

Two women were sitting next to each other at a bar. After a while, one looks at the other and says, “I can’t help but think, from listening to you, that you’re from Ireland.”

The other woman responds proudly, “Yes, I sure am!”

The first one says, “So am I! And where about in Ireland are ya from?”

The other woman answers, “I’m from Dublin, I am.”

The first one responds, “So, am I! And what street did you live on in Dublin?”

The other woman says, “A lovely little area. It was in the west end. I lived on Warbury Street in the old central part of town.”

The first one says, “Faith, and it’s a small world. So did I! So did I! And what school did ya go to?”

The other woman answers, “Well now, I went to ‘Holy Heart of Mary’, of course.”

The first one gets really excited and says, “And so did I! Tell me, what year did you graduate?”

The other woman answers, “Well, now, let’s see. I graduated in 1964.”

The first woman exclaims, “The Good Lord must be smiling down upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same pub tonight! Can you believe it? I graduated from ‘Holy Heart of Mary’ in 1964 me self!”

About this time, Michael walks into the bar, sits down, and orders a beer.

Brian, the bartender, walks over to Michael shaking his head and mutters, “It’s going to be a long night tonight.”

Michael asks, “Why do you say that, Brian?”

Brian answers, “The Murphy twins are drunk again.”

Keeping A Humble Perspective

Lately I’ve become increasingly interested in cosmology. Questions about the universe, astronomy, this and other solar systems, the vast amount of whole galaxies other than our own Milky Way, and even the theories of alternate universes.

Luckily there are a growing number of books and websites dedicated to these issues. But there is also a great piece of video which touches on these subjects. It’s a clip from the movie “Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life” and can be found on YouTube.com. In case you missed it or just have not seen it lately, here it is. You might need to wait a bit for it to fully load:
