Entertainment & Music - 14 July 2006

Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways


English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)

What do you think Will thinks Elizabeth did? Does he think she's in love with Jack which would explain why she was crying at that Black woman's place or does he think that she betrayed Jack? And is Elizabeth in love with Jack, or not? I mean, there were three times when she looked at the compass and it was pointing to Jack. I'm just dying for her to be in love with him.

YOU ARE AN INTERNET ADDICT WHEN...

1.) You refer to going to the bathroom as downloading.

2.) You step out of your room and realize that your
parents have moved and you don't have a clue as to
when it happened.

3.) Your bookmark takes 15 minutes to go from top to bottom.

4.) Your nightmares are in HTML and GIFS.

5.) You turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling,
like you just pulled the plug on a loved one.

6.) You start introducing yourself as "Jim at net dot com"

7.) Your heart races faster and beats irregularly each time
you see a new WWW site address on TV.

8.) You turn on your intercom when leaving the room so you
can hear if new e-mail arrives.

9.) Your wife drapes a blond wig over your monitor to remind
you of what she looks like.

10.) All of your friends have an @ in their names.

11.) When looking at a web page full of someone else's links,
you notice all of them are already highlighted in purple.

12.) Your dog has its own home page.

13.) You can't call your mother... She doesn't have a modem.

14.) You check your mail. It says "no new messages." So you
check it again.

15.) Your phone bill is a heavy as a brick.

16.) You write your homework in HTML and give your instructor
the URL.

17.) You don't know the sex of three of your closest friends,
because they have neutral nicknames and you never bothered
to ask.

18.) Your husband tells you that he has had the beard for
2 months.

19.) You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop and
check your e-mail on the way back to bed.

20.) You tell the kids they can't use the computer because
"Daddy's got work to do" -- even though you don't have
a job.

21.) You buy a Captain Kirk chair with a built-in keyboard
and mouse.

22.) Your wife makes a new rule: "The computer cannot come
to bed."

23.) You get a tattoo that says "This body best viewed with
Netscape 3.0 or higher."

24.) You never have to deal with busy signals when calling
your ISP... because you never log off.

25.) The last girl you picked up was only a GIF.

26.) You ask a plumber how much it would cost to replace
the chair in front of your computer with a toilet.

27.) Your wife says communication is important in a marriage...
so you buy another computer and install a second phone
line so the two of you can chat.

28.) As your car crashes through the guardrail on a mountain
road, your first instinct is to search for the "back"
button.
