Donald Rumsfeld died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St.Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are all those clocks?"

St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move."

"Oh," said Rumsfeld, "whose clock is that?" "That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie." "Incredible," said Rumsfeld. "And whose clock is that one?" St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life."

"Where's Bush's clock?" asked Rumsfeld.

"Bush's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."

modern physics state that moving an object at (or more) the speed of light require infinite energy. This also means that if object 1 is traveling more than the speed of light compared to object 2, then object 2 can get infinite energy from object 1. But making 2 objects having a relative speed of more than the speed of light is possible like this:

Fire object1 from earth to moon with 60% speed of light. Fire object2 from moon to earth with 60% speed of light. Now compared to object 1, object2 is traveling 120% speed of light. So from object 1's point of view object 2 has infinite amount of energy. How it is? Why the contradiction?

I'm in Singapore, my friend in Australia wants a particular moisturiser available here and she wants me to send it to her. I've checked with Australia customs and they are alright with it. However Singapore's postal service does not allow sending liquids of any type. Before I ask those big companies like UPS or DHL (their service are a bit expensive), any idea whether there are other couriers I can engaged?

hi there. i am willing to buy either a 2008 altima coupe or 2007 toyota camry SE. i really like the altima coupe more than the toyota camry but a some people told me that toyota's are more reliable than the altima coupe. they also claimed that nissans break easilly than the toyota's. i dont reaaly understand if there is actually big difference between the nissan's and toyota's in terms of reliability. i have plans to keep the cars for a long time. i really take care of cars and perform the maintenance on time. the only thing i am worried about is if the altima coupe will last long or it will break down like KIA's. which one should i go for? thanks for your help.

There was yet another case of 'England' being used in the media today rather than the UK. Even the BBC is guilty. Is it ignorance or just a blind spot?

There's an excuse for people for abroad making this mistake, but not domestically.

Every steam fan has had this dream I'm sure, to see steam king of the rails again. Many say the Age of Steam has past, but I say it's just resting, and is almost ready for her come-back. In England, and in fact the world, steam power is being re-considered, due to rising oil costs, making diesil and electric more expesive to operate. In Britain, there is a new locomotive being built, the 5AT Advanced Steam Locomotive being 70%more efficient, as well as a brand new A1 Class that had been completed in 2000, the first for trial operation for British Rail, the other for main line tourist trains. The utter beauty and genius of a steam locomotive is that it can burn any combustible material (even hydrogen) to make steam, and there is even a fireless locomotive being re-fitted or built in California that will haul commuter trains, using steam made by solar power (look up Solar Steam Train in your browser). Soon, I imagine steam will be more prevalent in the US, and the world...how about you?
