Old Butch

John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called ‘pullets,’ and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.
He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.
This took a lot of time,  so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.
Each bell had a different tone,  so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing.
Now, he could sit on the porch And fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.
 John’s favourite rooster, old Butch,  was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch’s bell hadn’t rung at all!
When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, could run for  cover.
To John’s amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn’t ring.
He’d sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.  John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making…  Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren’t paying attention.
    
 
Vote carefully next year, the bells are not always audible.

Woodstock Attendees Running Government?

If I was to ask what happened in August 15-18, 1969, some may know and some may know all too well. If you don’t that is OK because I wouldn’t know as it was before my time. What happened then was the original Woodstock.

So, after 40 years, what has Woodstock delivered? Do we have more peace and no war? Do we have more love? Do we have more understanding? Do we have a greater tolerance for others around us? What ever happened to the attendees of Woodstock anyways? Exactly, how influential has Woodstock been on our culture as it is deemed to be?

Of course, as this article mentions here, “what strikes me now – long after the event – is the false promise of Woodstock. For the tolerance and understanding, the peace and love, were not built upon a change in the human heart. Instead, they were built upon – in the Woodstock generation’s own words – sex, drugs, and rock n roll.”

Indeed, humans never did change deep-down by the event we call Woodstock. In fact, it almost seems ironic that a push to change the basic societial relationship of humans was attempted to be built on drugs which seperated you from reality, sex which is naturally euphoric, and music which can also trigger euphoria of a sort. In other words, the change was being brought on an imaginary cloud induced by some sort of alternate reality.

Of course I don’t completely condone their efforts. I think that everyone should explore their inner-being to the degree that they feel comfortable with themselves. If you need to use drugs to do that, I don’t really have a problem with that either – so long as you don’t harm or interfere with others. I also am very much into the tolerance and acceptance of others. However, the progression of the human race seems to be squarely in the corner of the traditional conservative education and exploration. This can be evidenced by the Moon Race from 1957 to 1976.

I want to take a real quick tangent to tolerance and acceptance before I forget though. I consider myself very tolerant and accepting of others. I do this by first recognizing that everyone is an individual. There are bad individuals and good individuals. Secondly, I recognize that I am not like anyone else – I am unique. Between these two attributes, I think that this is how we will make real progress on the issue. This is versus the idea of the hippy and now Liberal movement where we need to give special privledges or extra help to groups of people.

So where are the attendees of Woodstock today? In this article here they say, “Now hippies have all become Republicans and instead of taking LSD, they’re taking Viagra and losing their hair.” Inversely, to me it seems that with the severe push in all levels of government to become more Socialist that they all went home from Woodstock, took a bath, got haircuts, put on some clothes and got jobs as todays Democrats.

Illusions

Let’s start with a well-known illusion, which does not fail to amaze me every time I look:
Believe it or not, square A and B are actually the same color!

A lot of people find it hard to believe, but if you open the picture in Photoshop and measure the color values, you will see that it’s true…

Being Tracked

A little fun video. It is a little scary though…  while these people know they are being tracked because of the spotlight… what about those of us that are being tracked and don’t know it?

8 Amazing Holes

(1) Kimberley Big Hole – South Africa

Apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world, this 1097 meter deep mine yielded over 3 tons of diamonds before being closed in 1914..

(2) Glory Hole – Monticello Dam, California

A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir..

This is the ‘Glory Hole’ at Monticello dam, and it’s the largest in the world of this type of spillway, its size enabling it to consume 14,400 cubic feet of water every second..

(3) Bingham Canyon Mine, Utah

This is supposedly the largest man-made excavation on earth. Extraction began in 1863 and still continues today, the pit increasing in size constantly. In its current state the hole is miles deep and 2.5 miles wide..

Fyodor Dostoevsky

I could not become anything; neither good nor bad; neither a scoundrel nor an honest man; niether a hero nor an insect. And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything, that only a fool can become something.

- Fyodor Dostoevsky

I always post very serious stuff. However, I figured I would share something fun and something I think you all may enjoy too.
