    The Beatles

    "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"

     

    (a funny song about a sociopath :lol: )

     

    Joan was quizzical,

    Studied pataphysical

    Science in the home.

    Late nights all alone with a test tube,

    Oh, oh, oh, oh.

    Maxwell Edison,

    Majoring in medicine,

    Calls her on the phone.

    "Can I take you out to the pictures,

    Jo-o-o-oan?"

    But, as she's getting ready to go,

    A knock comes on the door.

     

    Bang! Bang!

    Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head.

    Clang! Clang!

    Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead.

     

    Back in school again,

    Maxwell plays the fool again,

    Teacher gets annoyed.

    Wishing to avoid

    An unpleasant sce-e-e-ene.

    She tells Max to stay

    When the class has gone away,

    So, he waits behind.

    Writing fifty times,

    "I must not be so-o-o-o."

    But, when she turns her back on the boy,

    He creeps up from behind.

     

    Bang! Bang!

    Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head.

    Clang! Clang!

    Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead.

     

    P.C. Thirty one

    Said, "We've caught a dirty one."

    Maxwell stands alone.

    Painting testimonial pictures,

    Oh, oh, oh, oh.

    Rose and Valerie,

    Screaming from the gallery,

    Say he must go free.

    The judge does not agree

    And he tells them so-o-o-o.

    But, as the words are leaving his lips,

    A noise come from behind.

     

    Bang! Bang!

    Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon his head.

    Clang! Clang!

    Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that he was dead.

    Not that psycho killers are humorous... :frusty: ...but there's a pretty funny animation at Jengajam.com called "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" set to this music.It's not for kids though.Its too gorey.

    Growing up I only ever wanted a dog. Dogs were better companions imo but now I better appreciate and welcome the independent nature of cats; low maintenance. We have one outdoor cat.

     

    Darn strays though, they always steal Indys food.  :lol:

    I have a problem with strays,too.

    It's like they can smell food for miles.When my mom was alive,she would adopt every single stray that showed up (she had 50 cats at her ranch at one point :frusty: ).But I can't afford to keep any of them.I call my buddy at Purrfect Angels,and see if he has room at his no-kill sanctuary.If not,he and I look for acceptable adoptive "parents".If that fails,we have no choice but to call the %$#@! "humane" society....knowing full well,the cat is dead as soon as it arrives at the shelter.I hate calling those people.

    But what can you do?People won't spay or neuter their cats.

    I still have my family's Y2K armageddon emergency kit. :lol:

     

    One thing my mom taught me,was to always have a well stocked pantry with plenty of clean drinking water for emergencies.And also to have a good first aid kit.Mine even includes sterile suture packs in assorted sizes for various emergency uses (one of my sister's is an RN and can get supplies from work that most folks wouldn't normally include in their first aid kits).

    I don't have a generator at the moment.It would be a good idea to have one,though.

    Basically,I think I'm A-okey-dokee as far as an emergency.Not one like New Orleans,though.Who can be prepared for that? :frusty:

    I have a low tolerance for drug addicts and alcoholics.

    Being a Christian,maybe I should be more tolerant....but having never developed tastes for either smoking or drinking,I just can't understand why anyone would subject themselves to those addictions.

    Seems like whenever I go to the corner market,I'm swarmed by addicts (they remind me of zombies in a Romero film) asking for money.I won't help them support their habits.The only person I ever give change to is a mentally handicapped boy I know (well,he's almost my age...if not a few years older).He's always around the store,and his only addictions are beef jerkey and Pepsi.

     

    Noise pollution.

    I have neighbors who seem to feel its acceptable to start up a party at 3 a.m. on a Wednesday night/morning with loud talking and laughing,and window-paine shaking hip hop music.The local constabulary is far too busy to be bothered with noise complaints,so I usually don't even bother calling them.

     

    People who don't keep an eye on their children.

    A particular little girl on the block lets herself into my yard (it's fenced) to play with my cats. I probably wouldn't mind,but I have a big dog,which I normally allow the run of the yard (front and back).And I'm worried he's going to get that little girl up one of these days.I have signs.I lock the gate.I have talked to the kid and her older brother (can't ever find her mom or dad).She still sneaks into the yard at least once a week.

     

    Public Displays of affection.

    I don't mind couples hugging or exchanging a little smootch in public.I have a problem with couples (straight or gay) when they are practically making out in public.I don't want to see that.Take it home.

     

    I have a billion more,but I'll end here.

    As if this past week hasn't been traumatic enough for the people of New Orleans...

    ESPN 2 has a rumor spreading that the Saints might relocate permanently to San Antonio,Texas (instead of possibly playing there just this season).The rumor buzz has it that the Saint's really like San Antonio,and what the city might have to offer an NFL franchise.

     

    If the Saints make this move.They're scum.

     

    That is,if there's any truth to the rumor.

    DELTA DAWN

    by Helen Reddy

     

    (maybe not a song you hear often in church...but gospel,nonetheless....)

     

    CHORUS

    Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?

    Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?

    And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today

    To take you to his mansion in the sky?

     

    She's forty-one and her daddy still calls 'er "baby"

    All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy

    'cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand

    Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired man

     

    In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn

    Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on

    Then a man of low degree stood by her side

    Promised her he'd take her for his bride

     

    CHORUS

    CHORUS

    CHORUS

    CHORUS

    I find myself most happy when the people I care about are happy.

    If I see my family or friends doing well,and they're smiling and upbeat.If something wonderful just happened to them.Then that really makes my day.

     

    I also find happiness in simple things....

    getting out in the yard on a nice day and doing a little gardening....

    reading my Bible and uncovering some truth about Scripture that I never knew before...

    stargazing with my nephew at night,and teaching him the constellations....

    just shooting the bull about trivial things with my buddies while playing cards...

    getting an unsolicited smile from a pretty woman...

    Or in doing nothing at all,sitting on my porch with my cats at dusk,drinking something cold.

     

    I'm not hard to please. :naughty:

    In recent years, researchers have discovered that various exotic orbits are theoretically possible for multiple star systems. The majority of these exotic orbits are unstable and unlikely to exist in the real universe.

     

    However, one of these exotic orbits stands out from the others. It is the figure-eight orbit for three bodies. Amazingly this orbit has been proven to be stable. Therefore it is possible that real examples of figure-eight triple star systems may actually exist.

     

     

    In the figure-eight orbit the three stars are of identical (or near-identical) mass, and all three travel along the same figure-eight path.
