Stella Awards
Sat, 29 Aug 2009 20:58:57 +1000
Put Stella Awards into Google to
1. See more of these outrageous goings-on, and
2. to note some false Stella Awards (which are crazy/funny to read anyway)
It's time again for the annual "Stella Awards"! For those unfamiliar
with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who

Technical language

I was listening to a radio report on the Jaycee Dugard affair. The
local sherrif gave a measured and sober account of the facts and then
finished with the sentence, "....and having investigated the situation
it is ma considered opinion that the guy is a complete whackjob."
I got to thinking is that an official cat ...

Messing with cats
Fri, 28 Aug 2009 18:56:00 -0400
Something just reminded me of this, ghod knows what.
Years ago, I had three siamese cats. Beautiful beasties, they were.
We had just had a huge summer thunderstorm, and then it cleared up and
the sun came out.
I went out into the back garden and I noticed that all three cats were

Another air show story!
Fri, 28 Aug 2009 08:35:42 -0700 (PDT)
When I was a youngster, I was living at RAF Tengah (which is in
Singapore, for those of you who don't have an atlas at hand) and
amongst the aircraft based there were a flight of Lightnings.
Now, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the Lightning, it was a
superfast interceptor and one of the few aircraft ca ...

Air Show - part 2
Fri, 28 Aug 2009 06:08:41 -0700 (PDT)
Today, being the second day of the air show, we had the alternative
teams on parade. Instead of the Red Arrows we had the tailgunners -
the Pink Arrows. They had obviously given much greater thought to the

red, white and blue, we had lavender, cora ...

Very carefully he opens his sporran and pulls out a neatly folded
cotton bandana, unfolds it to reveal a smaller silk square
handkerchief, which he also unfolds - to reveal a condom.
The condom has a number of patches on it.
The chemist h ...

Lost in translation

Before the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, various people claimed to
be able to translate hieroglyphics. Among these, in 1652, was Friar
Athanasius Kircher.
He managed to give the following translation of the hieroglyphics
spelling out the name of the Pharoah Apries:
"The benefits of the divine Osiris are to ...

Police Farce
Thu, 27 Aug 2009 10:16:19 -0700 (PDT)
This is a quote from William Melville, head of MO5 (the forerunner of
the Security Service) from 1903 regarding his interactions with the
Police while undertaking his duties:
"In these duties I found the Police, whether in London or the
Provinces- absolutely useless."
