All The Funny Jokes Are His
 *****

I was at my Doctor's office the other day

and she told me I had better get into shape.

"Doc," I said."I am in shape. Round is a shape!"

Did you know that cannibals will not eat clowns?

Yeah, they say they taste funny.

Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?

In America anyone can become President.

That's the problem.

If one synchronized swimmer drowns,

do the rest drown too?

What I want to know is,

whose cruel idea was it to have the letter
"S"
in the word

"Lisp?"

Never, ever, raise your hands to your kids!

It leaves your groin unprotected.

If I eat

Pasta and Antipasti

will I still be hungry?

When I was growing up,

I was always told that I would be somebody.

I just wish that they had been more specific on what that would be.

The main reason

Santa Claus

is so jolly all the time,

is because he knows where all the bad girls are!

I was going to start out with another joke today,

but how funny is it when somebody says,

"2 Moons may be hiding in the rings of Your-anus!"

But since it is

Science Day

here on my

Blog,

let us keep it professional.

Report: 2 Moons may be hiding in the rings of Uranus!

by Mary Bowerman for USA Today on MSN News.com

"Two small dark moons might be hiding in the rings of Uranus, according to a new report. Researchers from the University of Idaho in Moscow reexamined data collected during the Voyager 2 flyby of Uranus in 1986 and discovered what appeared to evidence of two small moons, according to the paper, which has been accepted for publication in the Astronomical Journal. Uranus, which has dark, narrow rings, is known to have 27 moons, many of which were discovered from data collected when the Voyager 2 passed by in 1986. According to the new report, researchers Rob Chancia and Matthew Hedman say they discovered wavy patterns in two of Uranus’ rings, which could indicate the gravitational pull from two small moons. These patterns may be wakes from small moonlets orbiting exterior to these rings, the researchers say in the report. The moons are likely dark and very small, Hedman told New Scientist.  Not only are Uranus’s rings dark, so are most of the little satellites that are in that region,  Hedman told New Scientist."

The saying goes

"Accidents Will Happen."

Turning pollution into FUEL: Chemists accidentally discover a way to convert carbon dioxide into ethanol.

by Shivali Best For Mailonline 

"Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed an electrochemical process that uses tiny spikes of carbon and copper to turn carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into ethanol. Dr Adam Rondinone, lead author of the study, said: 'We discovered somewhat by accident that this material worked. We were trying to study the first step of a proposed reaction when we realised that the catalyst was doing the entire reaction on its own. You can use it [ethanol] in the current vehicle fleet, right now, with no modifications, he added. The researchers created a catalyst – a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction - made of carbon, copper and nitrogen. When voltage was applied, the catalyst triggered a complex chemical reaction that essentially reverses the combustion process. With the help of the catalyst, the solution of carbon dioxide dissolved in water turned into ethanol with a yield of 63 per cent. Without the catalyst, this type of reaction normally results in a mix of several different products in small amounts."

Now this is a

Google Map

I would like to page through.

New Human Cell Atlas Is Like Google Maps for the Body!

on Seeker

"A new international initiative to chart every single cell in the human body will help biologists and doctors understand, diagnose and treat disease. Imagine having the level of detail in Google Maps but for the inner workings of the human body. A new international initiative is creating an atlas that will chart every single cell in the human body, encompassing all of the tissues within Homo sapiens, scientists announced last week at a meeting in London. The revolutionary project, called the Human Cell Atlas, will help biologists and doctors understand, diagnose and treat diseases with the help of high-resolution images of healthy and atypical cells from every structure in the body. In sickness and in health, cells are the fundamental units of life, and only by knowing our cells will we be able to fully comprehend the mechanisms of human disease, Sten Linnarsson, a professor of molecular systems biology at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, who is participating in the initiative, said in a statement. The initiative was formally announced at an international meeting convened by the Broad Institute of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University, Welcome Trust Sanger Institute, and Welcome Trust on Oct. 13 and 14. At the meeting, researchers decided what to include in the initiative's first phase. The scientists said the project is expected to be as ambitious in scope as the Human Genome Project, which was the first successful undertaking to sequence the human genome — all of the 3 billion letters in human DNA."

I was happy to do it.

But,

once a

found out that he was paying someone to give him a ride,

she stepped in

Exhausted In Front Of My Grandkid's School

Do you like telling stories? Are you interested in writing? Come on and join me in a collaboration of writing the Fiction story, 

"The Experiment."

 Click on this

Link

and let's get started.

*****

I want to bring up a problem that I believe is very hazardous to our children.

I have to pick up one of my grandchildren from school everyday to help out his parents while they are at work.

He gets out of school at 3:20pm

and I am usually there at 2:45pm to get a good parking spot.

The problem I see are the other grandparents

or parents who are at the school to get their kin.

They either park their cars

or form long lines in front of the school in order to get their child

and they leave their motors running.

Sometimes for longer than a half hour!

Not only are they helping climate change

but don't they see they are poisoning their own kids?

Dangers of Exhaust Fumes

By Mark Perry for HealthGuidance.com

"There probably isn’t a person on earth who isn’t aware of the fact that carbon monoxide poisoning can kill, and of course the number one source of carbon monoxide is from exhaust fumes. When listing the dangers of exhaust fumes, death from carbon monoxide poisoning falls at the top of the list. However, death from carbon monoxide poisoning is just one of many dangers to be concerned with. Some of the dangers of exhaust fumes are immediate while others happen over a longer period of time and consequently, are not as readily apparent."

These people are sitting there in their giant

SUVs

poisoning themselves,

the environment,

and all the kids coming out of school!

"In fact, some of the dangers of exhaust fumes hide silently in the background so that many people are not even aware of them. Study after study has proven that exhaust fumes are responsible for a number of physical maladies as well as being a danger to the environment."

I don't know a person,

except for the

President

who doesn't believe that

Global Warming

is changing the

Environment

for the worst

and that a lot of the

Health Crises

we face today is caused by these

Green House Gases!

"Unfortunately, as if carbon monoxide were not bad enough, there are a great number of the other pathogens that contribute to the dangers of exhaust fumes. Some of those toxins include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, benzene, polycyclic hydrocarbons and formaldehyde. Each of those substances is a pathogen which can have severe consequences both immediately and over the long haul. Medical science has established that many of these substances have harmful effects on bone marrow, the spleen and even our lymph nodes. As a matter of fact, the circulatory system is especially vulnerable to the toxins in exhaust fumes. Studies have shown that many of these toxins have resulted in problems in the bloodstream such as anemia. Taking into consideration that carbon monoxide literally suffocates us it is no wonder that it deprives our bloodstream of oxygen necessary for so many vital functions within the body. Some of these toxins, especially carbon monoxide, literally produce damage on a cellular level which can lead to a number of cancers. Some of the other dangers of exhaust fumes include an exacerbation of heart disease due to hypertension and a degeneration of the cells which line blood vessels. Many of these pollutants found in exhaust fumes of course cause respiratory problems as well including, but not limited to, asthma. There is also evidence to suggest that pollutants in exhaust fumes also cause irreparable damage to the central nervous system."

This is,

Saying That You Should Turn Off Your Car While Stationary Because The Life You Save Could Be Mine

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“If we take all this actions and if it turns out not be true, we have reduced pollution and have better ways to live, the downside is very small. The other way around, and we don’t act, and it turns out to be true, then we have betrayed future generations and we don’t have the right to do that.”

Today I have a

Post

from

called

Loving Every Minute Of Our Relationship.

*****

Does this ever happen to you?

Where you are driving along in your car with your

Wife,

or

Spouse,

or

Girlfriend,

or

Boyfriend,

or

Life Partner,

or

Significant Other,

or

Whomever,

and a song like

Bruno Mars' Grenade

comes on the radio,

and you both sing along?

Then,

when the song is done,

they turn off the radio

and ask you,

"Would you jump on a grenade for me?"

This happened to me.

My answer?

"Sure, if the pin is still in it."

I probably could have gotten away with just saying that,

but I had to keep talking.

"If that ever happened, I would have to re-evaluate our relationship. Like, why are people throwing grenades at you. Sure, you are pretty and petite, but what happened in your past that would make people throw explosives your way?"

After about twenty minutes of the

Silent Treatment,

out of the blue she asks,

"Would you stand in front of a train for me?"

I said,

"Hell no!"

I sleep on the couch now.

This is,

Loving Every Minute Of Our Relationship,

Yes,

is a worldwide phenomenon said to be;

"A dismissive retort often used to disregard or mock Baby Boomers and those who are perceived as old-fashioned and being out-of-touch." From Smol Nozomi on Knowyourmeme.com

Yeah,

I knew it was coming.

I remember when my kids were little

and I was their

"Hero!"

Then,

somewhere along the line,

when they became older,

I became

"Daddy Duh!"

 Now I'm dismissed as if I don't know anything about what kind of struggles they are going through and how to help them.

"Life was so much easier for you in your day?"

Where The Hack Is Anonymous?

I have a beef this morning.

What ever happened to

Anonymous?

I know they have a very loose

and decentralized command structure,

but come on,

what have you done for me lately?

It would be very foolish to believe that everyone claiming to be

Anonymous

is truly

Anonymous.

Yet,

someone has to be.

I'm all for their

Idealism.

I loved it when they took on the

KKK

and

ISIS.

I even wrote about it.

The

"Anonymous"

Post

was about the

KKK.

I have also commented on

ISIS

in my

Posts

I believe in what they do,

when they stand up against

Terrorist,

Prejudice,

Criminal Activity,

Political Corruptness,

and

All-Around-Douchebags

who need to be

Hacked.

Still,

I haven't heard about them for months.

I am hoping they are not becoming

just playing the game for the headlines,

Trivia Question.

Who said;

"I was born in Lisbon, 1987. I belong to a generation that is extremely consumerist, materialist and greedy. With the production of things at its highest, the production of waste and unused objects is also at its highest. Waste is quoted because of its abstract definition: one man's trash is another man's treasure. I create, recreate, assemble and develop ideas with end-of-life material and try to relate it to sustainability, ecological and social awareness."

A clue?

He is a

Portuguese Street Artist

who turns trash into animals

and more.

That's it.

By Jove

you've got it!
