Polands's Worst Air Disaster occurred today when a small two-seater Cessna 152 plane crashed into a cemetery early this afternoon in central Poland.

Polish search and rescue workers have recovered 300 bodies so far and expect that number to climb as digging continues into the evening.

Want to hear something funny? Nasa is actually doing serious research on personal flying vehicles. They are a car/plane combo that needs very little runway to take off and land. the idea is to have many tiny airports near work centers and have people fly to and land nearby then drive the few miles to work.

This is supposed to help relieve the congestion on the highways. Gee, now we'll have to worry about falling cars. I wonder what that will do to car insurance?

Freaky American History
(Fact or Fiction?)

Here's a little part of history which makes you go h-m-m-m-m-m-.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.

John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.

John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.

Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.

Both were succeeded by Southerners.

Both successors were named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.

Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.

Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.

Both names are comprised of fifteen letters.

Lincoln was shot at the theatre named Kennedy.

Kennedy was shot in a car called "Lincoln".

Booth ran from the theatre and was caught in a warehouse.

Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theatre.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.



And here's the kicker....

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland.

A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

Re: Jokes and Riddles Centre
 
Both Presidents were shot in the head.
And if they had been shot somewhere else, they probably wouldn’t have died. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
This is false. Lincoln had no one in his staff on record named Kennedy.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Booth was from Maryland. A border state, but remained part of the Union during the war.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Booth was born in 1838.

Lincoln was shot at the theatre named Kennedy.
Uh, Ford’s theatre dude. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Booth ran from the theatre and was caught in a warehouse.
That’s a stretch. It was a barn being used for storage. Not exactly a warehouse.

A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.
Cute. I think you meant to say he was in Marilyn Monroe. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif But that is false as well. She died over a year before the assasination.

IT'S LABELED:
Simon and Bubba are going deer hunting on his uncle's land.
The uncle doesn't want any of his cows getting shot, so he tells them that he has every deer in the area labeled "Deer", so they'll know when they see one.
The very next day, the uncle goes out into his front yard and sees his brand new John Deere Tractor dead.

NOT GETTING YOUR MONEY'S WORTH:
Simon and Bubba were out hunting in the woods when Simon decided he couldn't wait to go to the bathroom anymore. "Man, Bubba, I've got to use the bathroom", he said, "but I don"t have any toilet paper". "Just use a dollar", said Bubba.
So Simon proceeded around a tree to do his business. A few minutes later he came from behind the tree with brown stuff all over his hands.
"I thought I told you to use a dollar", exclaimed Bubba.
"I did", said Simon, "but have you ever tried to wipe your bottom side with three quarters, two dimes, and a nickel"?

SLIPPED AND FELL
A guy was telling his friend about his recent hunting trip to Alaska. "We were out in the woods all morning and our guide decided that we should take a break along the river bank. I wasn't feeling tired so I went for a stroll while the others were resting. As I was walking, a grizzly bear burst out of the undergrowth in front of me. I turned and started running like hell through the woods with the bear after me. The bear almost caught up with me but slipped and fell down. I kept running and the bear almost caught up with me again twice, but slipped and fell each time. I finally reached the river bank. The guide saw the bear chasing me and shot it dead." "Wow!" replied his friend, "That's incredible. If I were you, I would have wet myself." The first guy answered, "What do you think the bear was slipping.

Bear Hunters
Two men went bear hunting. While one stayed in the cabin, the other went out looking for a bear. He soon found a huge boar, shot at it ,but only wounded it. The enraged bear charged toward him, he dropped his rifle and started running for the cabin as fast as he cold. He ran pretty fast but the bear was just a little faster and gained on him with every step. Just as he reached the open cabin door, he tripped and fell flat. Too close behind to stop, the bear tripped over him and went rolling into the cabin. The man jumped up, closed the cabin door and yelled to his friend inside, "You skin this one while I go and get another!"

IDENTIFICATION TAG:
According to the Knight-Ridder News Service, the inscription on the metal bans used by the U.S. Department of the Interior to tag migratory birds has been changed. The bands used to bear the address of the Washington Biological Survey abbreviated: Wash. Boil. Surv. until the agency received the following letter from a weekend camper:
"'Dear Sirs: While camping Last week I shot one of your birds. I think it was a crow. I followed the cooking instructions on the leg tag and I want to tell you, it was horrible."
'The bands are now marked Fish and Wildlife Service.

IRISH HUNTER
Finian Finegan was doing some brickwork on the fireplace in Mr. Cabot's expensive home. He was much impressed by the moosehead over the fireplace.
Tis a beautiful animal, Mr.. Cabot, bigger even than the great Irish Deer, Oi'm thinkin." t'
"Yes," said Mr. Cabot, "that moose was a fighter among moose. I traveled for three days into the back country where I hunted this moose. I passed up four other bulls before I came upon this gigantic track. I tracked him for another day and a half before sighting the monster. It took three hours before I could get into a position Where I could shoot him, and when I finally got the monster down and butchered him, it took no less than four pack ponies to carry the meat and head out. That's what a truly huge trophy he was."
Shaking his reddish curls in admiration, Finian said, "Truly, tis a great hunter you are, Sir, and a great animal that is. Do you mind if Oi go into the next room and see the rest of him?"

THE EXPERT:
The game warden approached a duck hunter, asking if he had shot any ducks or geese. When the hunter claimed two ducks, the ranger asked to see them. On picking up the first duck he tipped it up and sniffed it's anus.
"Ahh" said the ranger, this duck comes from the Alberta region.
The hunter said, "that's amazing," and then he passed him the second duck. Once again the range sniffed the duck's backside, and promptly announced, "this duck migrated down from the Yukon.".... "wow, I'm impressed," said the hunter.
Now the warden said, "May I see your license and duck stamps, please?"
"Sure," said the hunter, handing him his license.
"I see there's no current address showing on your license; sir," said the warden, "would you mind telling me where you're from?"
Bending over the hunter says, "You're the expert, you tell me!!!!!"

Oh ya, for you enterainment:

It was Saturday morning as Jake, an avid hunter, woke up ready to go bag the first deer of the season. He walks down to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee, and to his surprise he finds his wife, Alice, sitting there, fully dressed in camouflage.

Jake asks her, "What are you up to?"

Alice smiles, "I'm going hunting with you!"

Jake, though he had many reservations about this, reluctantly decides to take her along.

Later they arrive at the hunting site. Jake sets his wife safely up in the tree stand and tells her, "If you see a deer, take careful aim on it and I'll come running back as soon as I hear the shot."

Jake walks away with a smile on his face knowing that Alice couldn't bag an elephant... much less a deer. Not 10 minutes pass when he is startled as he hears an array of gunshots.

Quickly, Jake starts running back. As Jake gets closer to her stand, he hears Alice screaming: "Get away from my deer!"

Confused, Jake races faster towards his screaming wife. And again he hears her yell: "Get away from my deer!" followed by another volley of gunfire.

Now within sight of where he had left his wife, Jake is surprised to see a cowboy, with his hands high in the air.

The cowboy, obviously distraught, says: "Okay, lady, okay!!!! You can have your deer!!! Just let me get my saddle off it!"

But with any powerful hallucinogen the user needs to be aware of their subconscious. Things the user may not think are a problem, things the user thinks they are over, or things the user "really doesn't care about" might much more than they seem, churning beneath the surface.

Insecurity is the big bad'um, and that looks like the one that got that guy, judging by his face. Unfortunately, an user of a potent hallucinogen who is overwhelmed by his or her insecurity will not be helped by well meaning comfort-givers, or codling, or tending, as these tend to feed the 'needy' part of the user and bring out the discomfort all the more.

The appropriate solution is to tell the user that they are being given something that will help (typically "This will bring you down."), and give them something that will make them feel different. Since they are still under the effects of the hallucinogen, the difference in perception from a number of substances may be interpreted as "I am getting better." by the user's addled mind. In fact coffee, tea, milk, or even hot water can be used for this, as long as the user believes they are being given something that will help.

If a number of people are using a powerful hallucinogen together their moods tend to progress together, so it is also important to separate the user having a 'bad trip' from the other Users, as they are only a thought away from having a bad time themselves.

So don't use acid, it's bad for you.

Things not to say to a cop when you're pulled over...

I only had one officer Mr. Keg..

Back off Barney, I've got a piece.

Want to race to the station, Sparky?

I know I was weaving, but I can't find the Honeycomb Hideout!

On the way to the station let's get a twelve pack.

Come on write the damn ticket, the bars close in 20 minutes!

Hey, wasn't your daughter a pork queen?

How long is this going to take? Your wife is expecting me.

Hey officer, is that your nightstick or are you just glad to see me?

I'm surprised you stopped me, Dunkin Donuts has a 3 for 1 special!

Yeah you can see my license and registration, officer, but could you hold my beer for a minute?

Hey, you must've been doing' about 125mph (200km/h) to keep up with me! Good job!

Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.

I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a Police Officer.

Excuse me. Is "stick up" hyphenated?

You know, I was going to be cop, but I decided to finish high school instead.

"Bad Cop! No Donut!"

I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are cars around, that's how far I am behind the other cars.

You're NOT gonna check the trunk, are you?

Didn't I see you get your *** kicked on "COPS" Last week on TV?

Wow, You look just like the guy in the picture next to my girlfriend's bed.

I bet I could grab that gun before you finish writing my ticket

So, uh, you "on the take", or what?

Gee, officer! That's terrific. The police officer yesterday only gave me a warning too!

Do you know why you pulled me over? Good, at least one of us does.

Hey is that a 9 mm? That's nothing compared to this .44 magnum.

When you smack the crap outta me, make sure you smile for the video camcorder.

Is it true that people become policemen because they are too dumb to work at McDonalds?

Aren't you one of the Village People?

Very, Very Punny


1. Two vultures board an airplane, each, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at them and says,

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, only one carrion is allowed per passenger."


2. Did you hear that NASA recently put a bunch of Holsteins into low earth orbit?

They called it the herd shot 'round the world.


3. Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much.

The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser of two weevils.


4. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, but when they lit a fire in the craft, it sank proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it, too.


5. A three legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He slides up to the bar and announces:

"I'm looking for the man who shot my paw."


6. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal?

He wanted to transcend dental medication.


7. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?" they asked, as they moved off.

"Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."


8. A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan." Years later Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal.

Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

9. These friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him.

So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that:

Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.


10. And finally... there was a man who sent ten different puns to friends, in the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh.

Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

From Actual Welfare Applications

I am forwarding my marriage certificate and 6 children. I had seven but one died which was baptised on a half sheet of paper.

I am writing the welfare department to say that my baby was born two years old. When do I get my money?

I am glad to report that my husband who is missing is dead.

I cannot get sick pay. I have six children can you tell me why?

Mrs. Jones has not had any clothes for two years and has been visited regularly by the clergy.

This is my eighth child. What are you going to do about it?

Please find for certain if my husband is dead. The man I am now living with can't do anything until he knows.

I am very much annoyed to find out that you have branded my son illiterate. This is a dirty lie as I was married a week before he was born.

In answer to your letter, I have given birth to a son weighing 10 lbs. I hope this is satisfactory.

You have my changed little boy to a girl, will this make any difference?

My husband got his project cut off about two weeks ago and I haven't had any relief since.

Unless I get my husband's money pretty soon, I will be forced to lead an immortal life.

I am forwarding my marriage certificate and my 3 children one of which is a mistake as you can see.

I have no children yet, as my husband is a truck driver and works night and day.

I want money as quick as I can get it. I have been in bed with the doctor for two weeks and he doesn't do me any good. If things don't improve, I will have to send for another doctor.

In accordance with your instructions, I have given birth to twins in the enclosed envelope.

A guy goes into a store to buy a brain. He says to the guy behind the counter "what do ya have?" Well, I have a doctors brain for 50 thousand,...or I have a lawyers brain for 100 thousand,.... And I have a teenagers brain for 250 thousand. "TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND???" " why is it so much? "Because it's never been used".....

Truth!!!!!!!!!!!!

For centuries, Hindu women have worn a red spot on their foreheads. We have naively thought it had something to do with their religion.

The true story has just been revealed by the Indian Embassy in Washington.
When one of these women gets married, on her wedding night, the husband scratches off the red spot to see if he has won a convenience store, a taxi cab, a gas station, or a motel in Florida.
