Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy. Some of the nicer thoughts:
  • If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."
  • Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what is I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny.
  • Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.
Very mean yes. But oh so funny in that "I can't believe he said that" way.

Did you know you can get 7 water guns for $5 nowdays? That's less than a buck a gun. Because UF is such an awesome college, they not only have a great academic program, they also own their very own lake that students can get into for free. So I went there today with a bunch of people from the DDR team up here, and had lunch and a huge water gun/water balloon fight, where I ended up getting completely and totally soaked. I felt like a little kid again, and man did I love it. I hate when I feel old, even though I'm only 18. I miss those things that you could do as a kid and no one looked at you funny, cause you were jsut a kid. I miss playing on the McDonalds playground, going down slides, and watching Saturday morning cartoons. Well actually I still would watch Saturday morning cartoons if they weren't on Saturday morning, I mean I don't usually get up till 1 on the weekends. I'd watch Saturday afternoon cartoons, but do they make those? Nooooooooo. Sometimes I think about how if I were like 8 years old today, I'd be into those Razor scooters and watch Pepperann (I LOVE that show, but I hardly ever catch it on TV) and there would just be so much stuff that I dont' know about because I'm too old. But on hte other hand, if I was 8 years old now, I'd have to deal with Power Rangers and Barney growing up, and I would have missed out on Ninja Turtles, Transformers, and Pogs. And yes, somehow I managed to go from water guns to pogs in one long rambeling paragraph.

For only $78 million, you too can have your very own luxury submarine. Add weapons to it, and you might be able to create your very own little floating country. Now wouldn't THAT be cool?

And finally, a guy got TCP/IP and PPP to run on his Gameboy Advance, essentially turning the awesome little gaming device into a webserver. Now you're playing with power! :) (5 bonus points and a cookie to everyone who recognizes that reference).
