OK  It's like a train wreck--I can't take my eyes away.  On TV is a show called Earth 2100.  See if you've heard this story before...

 

The earth is full of people who are doing wrong.  They are selfish, and don't care about their neighbors.  If they don't listen to what the "Universe" is trying to tell them, disaster will fall!  [Yes, they did say that on the TV show.] 

 

Unless the people change their ways, there will be floods, famine, plagues, wars, and droughts.  Your family will DIE before your eyes!  Turn from your self-centered desires and follow what the holders of knowledge are telling you to do, and all will be well.  If we all do what is right, the world of 2100 could be a "paradise."  [Yes, they did say that on the TV show.] 

 

"I have faith in humanity," says the TV show.   

 

Sound familiar? 

 

Let me add that Priest Al wants you to know that if you send money to his offset fund, he will make sure the bad weather doesn't get worse. 

 

This message can be relied on, as much as the 1970s prediction of killer bees from south america.  "Trust me."

As always, I blame Bill Gates. 

 

Oh well.

I was looking for (clean) geology jokes for work, and came accross this group of jokes.

Some favorites: 

 

So, Rene Descartes is in a bar near closing time. The bartender asks him, "Would you like another drink?"

Descartes replies, "I think not" and vanishes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part II of the Descartes joke:

After Descartes disappears, the bartender turns to Heisenberg.

"Wow, did you see that?" the bartender asks, to which Heisenberg replies, "Possibly, but I can't be sure."

 

 

 

And Steve Wright: If you're not part of the solution... you're part of the precipitate...

 

Headline:  Celebrating Passover the vegitarian way.

 

Well, what's wrong with that?  A rabbi is involved, and it makes everyone feel included.  

 

Sooo, at heeb'n'vegan, they suggest to substitute beets for the lamb, "primarliy because it appears to 'bleed' when cut into..."  I wonder if that worked during the 10 Plagues.  Just paint your doorposts with beet juice.  It's all the same...

 

Passover without the lamb is like the Lord's Supper without the wine. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I didn't get to see all of the last episode of ER, so I don't know if Dr. Romano made an appearance.  I heard most of the former characters were coming back for the finale. 

 

I know the exact episode, the exact scene, the exact moment, that ER "jumped the shark."  In seaon 10, the eposide "Freefall," had a scene where Dr. Romano looks up into the sky, and sees a helicopter crashing down on him.  Ironically, this character was back at work after having his arm cut off by a helicopter in season 9.  At that point, I knew the show was just not the same. 

 

ER was a good show just to have on, sort of like people watching.  It was interesting to see the doctors trying to solve the cases, whether they were medical or social problems.
