A little something..

I received this email this mroning from the Don and got me laughing. Thought I should share this with you. An elderly Essex Lady called 999 to report that her car has been broken into. She is hysterical as she explains her situation to the Operator: "They've stolen the stereo, the steering wheel, the brake pedal and eventhe accelerator!" she cried.The Operator said, "Stay calm. A Police car is on theway." A few minutes later, the officer radios in. "Disregard." He says. "She got in the back-seat by mistake." FAMILY Three sisters ages 92, 94 and 96 live in a house together.

Buddha Boy

As posted by Amz , I was supposed to catch the season premiere of Kidnapped on AXN last Tuesday but I didn't. I fell asleep 10 minutes into the show and woke up about 10 minutes later, frustrated as to why I dozed off when I should be watching it. I guess I was too tired.

Seeing isn't always believing

Unlike what you see in movies, assuming normal oxygen levels and no unusual circumstances, dropping a lit cigarette onto a trail of gasoline will not ignite it. This is due to the limited contact of the gasoline and the hottest, glowing part of the ash. Robin Holleyhead, a UK forensic scientist, reported that the outer ash layer is much cooler thus preventing much heat to reach the gasoline. However, cigarettes can ignite gases such as hydrogen and actylene. Source: Russell, S. (2006). Down in flames . New Scientist, 2576, pp. 42-45.
