's teacher was lecturing on map reading.
After explaining about latitude, longitude, degrees and
minutes, the teacher asked, "Suppose I asked you to meet me
for lunch at 23 degrees, 4 minutes north latitude and 45
degrees, 15 minutes west longitude?"

After a few seconds silence,  said:
"I guess you'd be eating alone, I can't swim that far."

(That is way out in the Atlantic, 45 degrees West of
Greenwich, England)

I figured that at age seven it was inevitable for my son
to begin having doubts about Santa Claus. Sure
enough, one day he said, "Dad, I know something
about Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth
Fairy."

Taking a deep breath, I asked him, "What is that?"

He replied, "They're all nocturnal."

Invalid excuse ever for fleeing a police officer

A wonderfully quotable Florida gang member who tried to 
run from a cop after being found with marijuana explained 
that, “I don’t like white people touching me, white 
people do weird stuff.”

Officer Joseph May was at a Clearwater gas station early 
Tuesday morning when he was approached by Taurus Jabriel 
Brown, whom the cop recognized as “a gang member from 
the community I work in,” according to a police report.

Brown, 19, told May that he “would like to be a police 
officer one day.” The teen then shook hands with the cop, 
who noticed a marijuana blunt tucked behind Brown’s ear.

“Is this weed?” May asked. “How stupid are you?”

After being asked to place his hands behind his back, Brown 
reportedly “tensed, pulled away, and attempted to run out of 
the front door.” He did not get far, thanks to a takedown 
move executed by the Clearwater Police Department patrolman.

“Damn, man, all this for weed. Wow, bro, you must want to 
make an arrest,” said Brown, who added, “I’ll plead guilty, 
I’ll go to court and plead guilty, please don’t take me to 
jail. Can you tell the judge I plead guilty?”

When Officer May asked Brown why he tried to flee, the teen 
replied, “I don’t like white people touching me, white 
people do weird stuff.”

Asked by May to further expound on his thoughts, Brown 
said, “Nah, I’m playing. I let you catch me.” 
But he then added, “White people are weird as fuck, doe.”

Brown, pictured above, was charged with pot possession 
and obstruction, both misdemeanors. He remains locked 
up in the county jail on $300 bond.

Re: Linux on a stick
Dear Webby,
I have heard about Linux on a stick. Is that something
real or just a phrase? Where can I get one?
Gwenda

Dear Gwenda
Anybody who has a linux system can make a "Live CD"
for you, to try out their flavor of Linux. Nowadays
they can even use a thumb-drive or camera chip for
that. 

A "Live CD", whether it is on a CD, DVD, Thumb-Drive or
camera chip lets you boot up into Linux and run Linux
without uninstalling Windows. It just temporarioly nudges 
it over a bit. 

Naturally, with the Operating System on a thumb drive
or camera chip, things are a bit slower, than if Linux 
was installed on the hard drive. However, it does give
you a nearly complete look and feel of that particular
flavor of Linux. 

Then you get a stick from some other friend or neighbor
with a different flavor of Linux. Try not to get those
people together. They tend to get right religious about 
the advantages of their chosen flavor. 

Once you have chosen one flavor, that you like, for example
Ubuntu, which is very popular for home and small to medium 
offices, you can tell it to do a full installation onto the
hard drive. It will nudge Windows over a bit, make a new 
partition and put the Linux operating system on that.
Don't worry, it is not going to ask you any weird questions.
It is all done for you. 
After that you still get the dual-boot choice on start-up,
selecting whether to run in Windows or in Linux.

Some people also use Linux sticks when they go traveling.
They stick that into a motel courtesy computer, reboot,
and are in their familiar Linux desktop, without any of
the restrictions the motel put onto the motel's Windows.
A standard 4 GB camera chip is plenty for Linux plus a
lot of space left over for pictures. Linux typically 
takes a bit less than 2 GB.

Have FUN!

One day the first grade teacher was reading the story
of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part
of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the
farmer.

She read, ".... and so Chicken Little went up to the
farmer and said, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!"

The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what
do you think that farmer said?"

One little girl raised her hand and said, "I think he
said: 'Holy Cow! A talking chicken!'"

The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10
minutes.

Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com
Nail File to Prevent Repetitive Stress Injuries

Repetitive stress injuries, such as carpal tunnel or 
flexor tendonitis, can disable workers. As a RN, 
12 hours of opening individually packaged pills 
caused my flexor tendonitis. I finally figured out 
that a steel nail file could open that packaging 
without twisting or prying. That file is pointed 
but not sharp. It easily tears into the packs without 
being a sharps hazard. It's as washable as my hands. 
It is even faster than the old way.

It should be equally useful in other jobs requiring 
opening mail, cardboard boxes, etc. You can also 
take it places you can't take a pocket knife. If I 
had been a little brighter, I could have figured 
this out before I got flexor tendonitis injuries. 
Protect your livelihood. Your ability to work is 
your most valuable asset. If your job requires 
frequent and repetitive motions, think it through!
