School humor - part 2

2007-08-30T12:00:00.000+02:00

Teacher: Who can give me a definition of claustrophobia?
Pupil: An unnatural fear of Santa Claus.

Teacher: How can you prove the world is round?
Pupil: I didn't say it was!

Teacher: Can you tell me something important that didn't exist 100 years ago?
Pupil: Me!

A little girl came home from school and said to her mother, "Mommy, today in
school I was punished for something that I didn't do."
The mother exclaimed, "But that's terrible! I'm going to have a talk with your
teacher about this ... by the way, what was it that you didn't do?"
The little girl replied, "My homework."

Teacher: Johnny, you know you can't sleep in my class.
Johnny: I know. But maybe if you were just a little quieter, I could.

Teacher: Why are you late, Joseph?
Joseph: Because of a sign down the road.
Teacher: What does a sign have to do with your being late?
Joseph: The sign said, "School Ahead, Go Slow!"

The answer to the problem was "log(1+x)". A student copied the answer
from the student next to him, but didn't want to make it obvious that
he was cheating, so he changed the answer slightly, to "timber(1+x)".

The teacher asked, " Can you give me a good example of how heat expands
things and cold contracts them?"
"Well," one alert pupil answered, "the days are much longer in summer.''

Teacher: When you yawn, your supposed to put your hand to your mouth!
Pupil: What ?, and get bitten!

Teacher: Melody, spell mouse.
Melody: M-O-U-S.
Teacher: But what's at the end of it?
Melody: A tail.

For all those in offices feeling bored here is the solution. It's the USB Speed Typing Mouse...you just plug it into your pc...Then when you type the mouse will start to pedal...The faster you type the faster he pedals. Also pay attention to the LCD display...and set yourself a challenge..You can beat a mouse..can you...

How to use them? Well, just watch the video...

Thanko company from Japan has a solution for you...

In this world where crime is constantly on the rise many people buy alarm devices, cameras and that sort of things...But listen to this...As to guys from Bim Bam Banana web site the solution is in lettuce!! Well...as you'll see if you log in to their web site it is not an ordinary lettuce...It looks like the one we eat but its price of USD $ 49,00 tells you that there is some extra purpose for it...Actually it is kind of safe box for your small valubles (money...)...You just put it into your refrigerator...and you things are safe...It is not very probable that thieves will look there...But on the other side...if they're hungry...ha,ha...

Scandinavian humor

2007-07-29T12:39:00.000+02:00

It is no coincidence that images of each other are important for the definition
of Scandinavian national identities. The history of each of the three countries (Norway, Sweden, Denmark) is closely connected with that of the others. There have been wars, short-term unions and border disputes between them since Medieval times. They are culturally similar and linguistically very close.
Jokes featuring "the Swede, the Dane and the Norwegian" are very common among children in the three countries: the Swede is always portrayed as a rich and arrogant child, the Dane as a slightly decadent hedonist, and the Norwegian as an uneducated, often stupid country person.
And now few examples...I guess that's most of you have been waiting for...

Norwegian jokes about Swedes
Q: Why was the Swede so happy after he finished the jiggsaw puzzle in six months?
A: Because the box said 2 - 4 years.
Q: What does it take to convince a Swede?
A: Two bananas.
Q: Why do the Swedes cut holes in their umbrellas?
A: Because they want to see when the rain ends.
Q: Why do Swedes always drink their milk in the store?
A: Because on the packet it says: OPEN HERE.

Swedish Jokes About Other Scandinavians
Norwegian was bragging to his friend:
- I just bought a piece of field that is 2 cm wide and 10 km long.
- What on Earth are you going to do with a field like that?
- Grow spaghetti, of course.

The Danish man had a problem. His wife was coming home on the train but he could not remember if
she was coming at 8:40 or 4:80.

Danish Joke About Other Scandinavians
Q: What's the difference between Swedes and mosquitos?
A: Mosquitos are only annoying in the summer.

Funny epitaphs

2007-07-25T11:37:00.000+02:00

An epitaph (literally: "on the gravestone" in ancient Greek) is text honoring the
deceased, most commonly written on a tombstone. Many epitaphs are quotes from holy texts, or aphorisms. A good epitaph is considered to be one that is memorable, or at least makes one think. Some are little strange, funny...while browsing the internet I found some of those...At least one should bring smile on your face...

John Randle - Miser
He was mean and rotten to his wife,
And soon will be forgotten.
He was mean and rotten to his wife,
But now he's only rotten.
(Scotland)

Here lies
Johnny Yeast
Pardon me
For not rising.
(Ruidoso, New Mexico, USA)

Sir John Strange
Here lies an honest lawyer,
And that is Strange.
(England)

I was somebody.
Who, is no business
of yours.
(Stowe, Vermont,the USA)

Here beneath this pile of stones
Lies all thats left of Sally Jones.
Her name was Smith, not Jones,
But Jones was used to rhyme with stones
(the USA)

Beneath this silent
Stone is laid
A noisy antiquated
Maid
Who from the cradle
Talked to death,
And ne'er before was
Out of breath.
(London, England)

Language humor

2007-07-18T11:54:00.000+02:00

Translation can be a very difficult job. Sometimes results turn to be rather confusing or even funny. Here are few examples of such not so perfect translations.
In a Tokyo Hotel: Is forbitten to steal hotel towels please. If youare not person to do such thing is please not to read notis.
In another Japanese hotel room: Please to bathe inside the tub.
On the menu of a Swiss restaurant: Our wines leave you nothing to hopefor.
In a Bangkok temple: It is forbidden to enter a woman even a foreignerif dressed as a man.
In a Norwegian cocktail lounge: Ladies are requested not to havechildren in the bar.
There are people who use their own language in a very strange way.
On a poster in Sydney - Are you an adult that cannot read? If so, we can help.
In a New Zealand restaurant - Open seven days a week, and weekends too.
On a highway sign in Australia - Take notice: when this sign is under water; this road is impassable.
Book titles can be fun too. I found some on the internet. They are all true!
Robert Rankin wrote following books - "Nostradamus ate my hamster", "Hollow chocolate bunnies of the apocalypse"...
Russel Martin's book is called "Beethoven's hair"...
Between 1979 and 1989 following titles have appeared at the famous book fair in Frankfurt Am Main:
1) The Interpretation of Geological Time from the Evidence of Fossilised Elephant Droppings in Eastern Europe
2) Big and Very Big Hole Drilling
3) Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice.
That's all for today. Until next time. Have fun...laugh a lot!!

Welcome

2007-07-16T16:36:00.000+02:00

Welcome! I guess you followed news today. Deaths, natural tragedies... Is there sunshine in this word?It seems that many people forgot to laugh. It is sad but there are still people who are funny, who are smiling...people who notice many funny things in our world...My blog is going to include some of funnystuff from all over the World...So, keep laughing. Once again welcome to the funny side of the world.why do we laugh? Well, scientists say that it helps us to better explain our intentions in social interactions and also gives an emotional context to conversations. Laughter is used as some sort of signal for being part of a group. Laughter can spread from one person to others. There is even a science which studies humour and laughter, and its psychological and physiological effects on the human body. It is called Gelotology. And it is not studying gels...you know that stuff used in hair styling...I am just joking.Laughing helps to protect your heart. As to Psychologist Steve Sultanoff, Ph.D., the president of the American Association for Therapeutic Humour,"With deep, heartfelt laughter, it appears that serum cortisol, which is a hormone that is secreted when we’re under stress, is decreased. So when you’re having a stress reaction, if you laugh, apparently the cortisol that has been released during the stress reaction is decreased."He also said that people who are very often depressed have two times greater chance to get some heart disease. For all those readers having diabetes and similar problems it is good to know that Keiko Hayashi, Ph.D., R.N, and his team of the University of Tsukuba in Ibaraki, Japan determined that laughter lowers blood sugar after a meal.It has been estimated by scientists that laughing 100 times equals the same physical exertion as a 10 minute workout on a rowing machine or 15 minutes on a stationary exercise bike. Laughing works out the diaphragm, abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg, and back muscles.What more to say in this post...Just laugh, laugh...ha, ha, ha,...
