A man is strolling past the mental hospital and suddenly remembers an important meeting.

Unfortunately, his watch has stopped, and he cannot tell if he is late or not. Then, he notices a patient similarly strolling about within the hospital fence.

Calling out to the patient, the man says, “Pardon me, sir, but do you have the time?”

The patient calls back, “One moment!” and throws himself upon the ground, pulling out a short stick as he does. He pushes the stick into the ground, and, pulling out a carpenter’s level, assures himself that the stick is vertical.

With a compass, the patient locates north and with a steel ruler, measures the precise length of the shadow cast by the stick.

Withdrawing a slide rule from his pocket, the patient calculates rapidly, then swiftly packs up all his tools and turns back to the pedestrian, saying, “It is now precisely 3:29 pm, provided today is August 16th, which I believe it is.”

The man can’t help but be impressed by this demonstration, and sets his watch accordingly.

Before he leaves, he says to the patient, “That was really quite remarkable, but tell me, what do you do on a cloudy day, or at night, when the stick casts no shadow?” The patient holds up his wrist and says, “I suppose I’d just look at my watch.”

The ACLU is one of Rush's main targets - attacking them consistently and claiming they are against american values, they are communists, and spoilers of morals and decency.

Why would they defend their own enemy? Or asked more correctly - why would they not consider him their enemy?

I just started ovulating again 4 months ago after I lost a lot of weight.My cycles are 52 days and I never noticed having any abdominal pains during my cylce at all until this morning(4/9/07) about 30 minutes before taking my bbt. I'm due to ovulate in 2 more weeks but I got a temp shift today at 97.9 and the last 7 days was between 96.8 - 97.3. Could this be a early ovulation and was the abdominal pain from ovulation bc it started cramping the same morning the shift took place.Has anyone else been through this?

I'm 135ish and 16... and I'm about a size nine. My friends tell me I'm not fat but they're all size 1-3ish. they also encouraged me when I decided to lose weight so I don't feel like they're being honest. What would you all consider a big jean size?

True, it is a dual use system controlled by the U.S. Air Force, but the U.S. has never turned it off in any area, nor has it charged for it. So why is the EU developing Galileo (which it is considering to charge users for the signal, and perhaps legislating the EU countries use it, instead of GPS. And why is Russia developing GLONASS? Don't they trust the America's gift to the world?

it says in the end those dead with christ will raise first. Well what happens if you weren't buried. What if you were burnt you know in the oven. Will your ashes raise from the sea or whatever?

Okay this is funny, but what if a cannibal ate you and you are still in the stomach. What happens then?

im looking to get a new laptop to replace me PC and im not really sure if a 1.7GHz 1Mb processor is better, worse, or about the same as a 1.6GHz with 2Mb

im not a hardcore gamer or anything, i mainly will be using the laptop for word-processing and occasionally playing games like Warcraft, which doesn't take much power at all.

I have a 5-year old cat. She's an indoor-outdoor cat, and since we've trained her well has the sense to not go anywhere outside our small garden (not even our back porch), but her last house had a far large garden to run in, and I'd like to take her for walks. She's never had anything but her collar around her, how do I get her used to a halter for walking?
I'm wanting to teach her that when we go walking, is when we walk a certain route, and only then, she's good as gold about any training, or is she too old to start it now? We're getting another kitten soon and I' like to train the newbie too.
Any good site, tips, advice?
