Tom urgently needs a few days off work, but knows that his boss will not allow him to take leave. So he thinks, `maybe if I act crazy, my boss will tell me to take a few days off.'

So Tom hangs upside down from the ceiling and starts to make funny noises.

Mary, his blonde assistant asks him what he thinks he's doing.

Tom tells her he's pretending to be a light bulb so the boss will think he's crazy and give him a few days off.

Two minutes later the boss comes into the office and asks Tom, "What are you doing?"

When Tom tells him he's a light bulb, the boss says, "You're clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a couple of days."

Tom jumps down and walks out of the office.

When Mary starts to follow him, the boss asks her, "And where do you think you're going, madam?"

She replies, "I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark!"

Hallo!

I just downloaded and installed Ubuntu vers 7 (I burned it and created a live CD for now). I have used linux before in my high school computer repair class, but not ubuntu and we didn't go into depth.

I am just playing around learning it, but a hinderence is the fact that the internet won't work.

My parents have a wirelss router setup, and im trying to connect to that, (it is encrypted).

I have a windows xp media center, 1gig ddr ram, ati mobility radeon x600 256MB graphics card, AMD 64 mobile Athelon processor Gateway Notebook.

Any help? Also, could someone please elaborate on ubuntus versio of the CLI? can't remember what it's called right now, srry.

Thanks! if i get more info, ill let u know

In a nutshell, my Dad is a World of Warcraft (a well-known MMORPG, for those of you who don't) addict, and he can't stop.
I haven't confronted him on the matter, but my mom has, and she gets really upset a lot of times. He plays almost 5 hours some days, and seems depressed any time that he can't/isn't playing.

We're staying away from the house, and since he hasn't been playing, he seems very down. He tried to download it on my laptop, and when it didn't work, to cover it up so I wouldn't see it. Since I played World of Warcraft to these extreme extents a long time ago, I recognize that he misses the game, but I want to show him he needs to stop, so he doesn't get completely consumed by it. It was okay when I did, I didn't have anyone relying on me, and I've recovered since (though I'm not saying what I did was okay). Since he's my dad, I worry about my mom and two younger brothers, that, along with me, rely on him to be there for us, and I want to know how I can help him stop.

my friend says mike tyson could beat bruce in a fight. (let's pretend they're both in their prime) i disagree. mike is stronger than bruce, however bruce is quicker, more agile, and has more skill. i know someone's gonna say it, but chuck norris would lose! it's happened many times.

O-k, my Mommy Mouse Gloria, gave birth to 11 healthy baby's.... almost 2 weeks ago.... well now this has never happened before ever out of all of her litters. i think she might have abandoned a very healthy baby.. The baby rolled out of the nest and cant climb back in so she is ignoring it. its all alone and cold and she just passes it by... it might die!
so i thought maybe i can put them in a separate cage together... but i might face the chance of her eating it from not excepting it... or of it starving and being cold. I cant hand raise it. so my dad says that if she doesn't end up keeping it, its going to be a feast for one of are water dragons.....
Do you think I 'm on to a good plan or is there anything i could do without abandonment of the whole litter?!

Do you think Jesse or Al *should* or (will) stick up for Michael Vick regarding his dogfighting court case? Ironically, I have heard a peep from either. I think Vick is innocent until proven guilty, so I am not saying anything either, but Jackson defended the stripper without reservation, so I would think that he would be sticking up for Vick. What do you think?

some wisearse (usually a cop) always pipes up and tells me that I'd want their help if I was in trouble. I wouldn't! Why would I want to wait half an hour fot them to show up instead of taking care of the situation myself? If police want to put a stop to vigilante justice, why don't they start doing a better job themselves? I'm not saying that cops should be eliminated (per se); I'm, just saying that if an armed citizen is close enough to aid in a situation where someone's life is in danger and they would be dead by the time the police got there, I would be much more comfortable if citizens were given training so that they could handle such situations because, as far as I can tell, criminals outnumber police just about everywhere in this country (if not in the whole world).

I've got a friend who works for Yahoo, not gonna say his/her name. We've talked about answers, and they can delete their accounts anytime for any reason. Anyway I'm sure they have a record of CPU's IP addresses. That way they can be found the same way they figure out where illegal porn downloaders live. Showing ponography to underage people or ANYONE that doesn't want to see it, is a crime punishable by law.

PS. By the appearance of the pictures, it's like they're trying to make up for the real size of their weenies. Too bad. Smart enough to work around the system to show what they want, but stupid enough not to accept what they were born with.

I went to the bank today and tried to get a home equity loan but they turned me down because I had bad credit. I have a stable job that I worked at for over 5 years, I own my home and it is fully paid for. I drive a 2006 Mustang Gt but they still turned me down because of bad credit. I wanted to get the cash to fix my home becuase it need new pipes and a heating system, so i wasnt going to go blow the money. My credit isnt super bad but its still not good, is it possible for me to get a home equity loan without good credit. i DONT want any online loan stuff or any stuff like that. I LIVE in a small town with not that many banks and i need this loan before winter. cAN I GET THIS LOAN WITH MY BAD CREDIT?

This isn't a fish question....but "fish" people lol know alot about water quality & how to fix it so thought I'd ask here :)

My dogs have a kiddie pool. When I first got it, the water stayed clear for about 4 days, NOW (a few months down the road) the water turns a icky green color in the matter of a day or two. I am constantly having to dump the $$$$$ water out & refill it, I've trid even doing "water changes" as same principal as a tank rofl. Its in the shade & only gets the afternoon sun. I have scrubbed it with soap a million times & rinsed it out. Even tho I set out a fresh bucket of water for them.....the pooches prefer to drink out of it (especially if they wade in it). Is there anything I can do about this? I thought perhaps someone with an outdoor pond might also have this problem and have some ideas. Thanks!!!
