Left Brain, Right Brain

"English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar."

It's so funny, but I can't seem to find WHO came up with it... :(

"Hey man, watch it! Careful with that arm, there!"

"Yeah, I'm lifting 2 pieces of paper."

"Whoa."

"Yeah. Pretty soon I might be up to lifting... three?"

You should really check out Bash.org. It's some funny, funny stuff.

Seen on Zen Knit (specific entry located here):

1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, liposuction and air conditioning.

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.

7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in America.

9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans…

Did you know that the traditional name for Bangkok is Krungthep Mahanakhon Bovorn Ratanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokpop Noparatratchathani Burirom Udomratchanivet Mahasathan Amornpiman Avatarnsathit Sakkathattiyavisnukarmprasit? Translates to "City of Angels" apparently, but I suspect it's slightly more complex than that. (Longest. Place name. EVER.)

Did you know there is a Welsh town called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch? (Longest place name in the UK)

Have you ever heard of Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg in Webster, MA? (Longest place name in the US)

Besides just place names, I have found lots of other cool long words. This link goes to the Wikipedia entry on long words in English. Fun for all!

And I think I want to take a vacation to Krungthep Mahanakhon Bovorn Ratanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokpop Noparatratchathani Burirom Udomratchanivet Mahasathan Amornpiman Avatarnsathit Sakkathattiyavisnukarmprasit just to be able to say that I did... if I ever learn how to say it!

This is a post from bellapoison's journal. It's pretty funny.

Oh my gosh this is hilarious. Mac OS X v10.9 "Liger"

Show your geeky friends. DO IT!

This afternoon at work, I was curled up in a chair reading a magazine and sipping cappuccino on my break, when a tiny little bird went THUNK into the window near where I was sitting. I got up and walked to the window (which goes from floor to ceiling), and I could see the dazed little bird on the ground where he had fallen, and next to him was a little birdie poop.

I guess he got the shit scared out of him.
