Animal Spirits, by Phil McDonnell

A study I did recently showed that my trading profits increased five-fold on libidinous days as opposed to celibate days. Turning this information to good use remained problematic even after I had completed the study.
Finally I resolved to show the study to my wife. Since then the results have been most satisfactory.

No joke
Its owner says it’s the Virgin Mary.
I laughed even harder.
But what a fool I was ! The sandwich is no ordinary sandwich. It’s a lucky sandwich, a piece of fortune bread that has made its owner US$70,000 richer on different occasions, at a casino near her house !
Major media networks clambered to interview the woman and her precious. By the end of it everyone knew that grilled cheese. That half a sandwich with a bite and the face with not a spore of mould on it. The 10-year-old grilled cheese that was going to cost a brand new car.
The auction closed with an impressive US$28,000.
By then I had, of course, stopped laughing.
Today, I read about a cigarette butt on auction with a 4-digit price tag. And I laughed.
I didn’t see the item photo first, so I laughed when I read that half a piece of a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich was up for bids on eBay, with a US$3,000 starting bid. Then I saw the posted image. It has a face emblazoned on it.

The source of it all
But now I know.
From The Joy of Tech!
My Gmail space has tipped the 2 GB scale; it’s now 2083 MB and counting. Even before it bloated, I’ve often wondered, where in the world does Google gets all that Gmail space ?!
But now I know.

This makes my Monday
On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed that a woman hadn’t moved a muscle. “Perhaps you didn’t hear me over those big brute engines. I asked you to raise your trazy-poo so the main man can pitty-pat us on the ground.”
She calmly turned her head and said, “In my country, I am called a Princess. I take orders from no one.”
To which the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat, “Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country, I’m called a Queen, so I outrank you. Put the tray up, Bitch.”
The plane’s cabin was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant who was just as obviously enjoying himself. He came swishing down the aisle and announced to the passengers, “Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he’ll be landing the big scary plane shortly, lovely people, so if you could just put up your trays that would be super.”

A case of trying too hard [NUS 28 March 2005]
From Jim:
Just 4 days old, but this is probably old news by now, seeing how it’s spreading like wildfire both in real life and in the blogosphere. Just so you know, I am a nice lady and didn’t think of posting it up here initially (prolonging the poor girl’s misery like this). But someone put me up to it, so here it is. I’m leaving the girl’s blog url out of this tho’, although it shouldn’t be too difficult to get hold of it if you are kpo enough. LOL
From Jim:
"Boy likes girl.
[...]
Boy got lecturer to help profess love for girl.
Lecturer stopped class early to display powerpoint… in front of the whole lecture group.
Girl feels grossed out and traumatized.
Girl becomes overwhelmed by news that spreads from HWZ to SPUG to blogs like mine.
[…]
Somehow, all these were captured on the lecture’s webcast video. Nowadays lectures are recorded and webcasted for people who like to miss lectures. So, check out the video here and I must say, that lecturer is one funny guy."

To infinity and beyond
Happy 1st birthday Gmail, and many more.
We love you.
Yahoo! Mail may roll out news of their forthcoming 1 GB of free email storage (a couple of weeks ago), but Gmail adds another gigabyte to all its users’ accounts today ! No big announcements, just action !
To celebrate our one-year birthday, we're giving everyone one more gigabyte. But why stop the party there? Our plan is to continue growing your storage beyond 2GBs by giving you more space as we are able. We know that email will only become more important in people's lives, and we want Gmail to keep up with our users and their needs. From Gmail, you can expect more.
Happy 1st birthday Gmail, and many more.
We love you.
