Get ready to jump into something "Strange!" http://www.strangecosmos.com/index.html ================================== Strange Quotes: "Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats." Howard Aiken "He who stops being better stops being good." Oliver Cromwell "Everyone gets their rough day. No one gets a free ride. Today so far, I had a good day. I got a dial tone." Rodney Dangerfield "Crime is the soul of lust. What would pleasure be if it were not accompanied by crime? It is not the object of debauchery that excites us, rather the idea of evil." Marquis de Sade "Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them." Paul Hawken ================================== Today's Featured Humor : -) - Fallacies So much of what we take for granted as being true, upon greater scrutiny, ends up being just plain false. Collected here are some of our favorite punctured myths, misinformation and fallacies. Sauerkraut didnt originate in Germany as many people mistakenly believe. It got its start in China about 1,000 years before it became popular in Germany. Lenin wasnt Lenins real name. It was one of 151 pseudonyms Vladimir Ilyich Ulanov used during his lifetime. Venetian blinds were invented in Japan, not Venice. It might surprise you to find out men are far more likely to be moved to tears by music than women. Most precious gems are actually colorless. Their color comes from impurities in the stone that act as pigmenting agents. Short Line, of Monopoly fame, wasnt actually a railroad. It was a bus company. The London Bridge has never fallen down. Those who do public speaking dont stand behind a podium. They stand behind a lectern. A podium is the platform or stage on which a speaker stands. Smokey the Bear didnt always have that famous name. Originally, he was Hot Foot Teddy. Although people think otherwise, a newborn baby cant shed tears. The Douglas Fir isnt a firits a pine tree. Buttermilk doesnt contain butter. Its widely believed that Orville Wright became the first person to be killed in a plane crash. Actually, on September 17, 1908, U.S. Army Signal Corps lieutenant Thomas E. Selfridge became the first when he and Orville fell from the sky in Wright's airplane at Fort Meyer, Virginia. Tennessee Williams wasnt born in Tennessee. He was born in Columbus, Mississippi. Shooting stars arent stars, of course. They're meteors. ================================== Most Popular - Parody - News - Pix ================================== AFRICAN ELAND WITH BIRD ON HIS FOREHEAD! - http://www.strangecosmos.com/content/item/135850.html GIANT PANDA UP IN A TREE - THAT CAN'T BE COMFORTABLE! - http://www.strangedangers.com/content/item/135938.html RUSSIAN MILITARY JET - AIRSHOW DEMO - 2 - http://www.strangemilitary.com/content/item/136142.html FAST FOOD FARCE - THE PICTURE vs. THE REAL THING! - TACO BELL NACHOS - http://www.strangefunkidz.com/content/item/136195.html BOW & ARROW FISHING - I'D FISH WITH HER ANYTIME! - http://www.strangesports.com/content/item/136356.html STRANGE STREAMLINED VOLVO BICYCLE/MOTORCYCLE - http://www.strangevehicles.com/content/item/136357.html STRANGE BLONDES - 'DRIVING' MISS DIZZY or DRIVING ME CRAZY! - http://www.strangecelebrities.com/content/item/136362.html STRANGE DANGERS - HIPPO WITH GAPPING MOUTH!
