Almost funny :-) 1/28/2005
Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect
it back.
<br>
Where there's a will, there are five hundred relatives.
<br>
They say hard work never hurts anybody, but why take the
chance?
<br>
I don't suffer from stress. I'm a carrier.

Fact 1/26/2005
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have
produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
If you fart consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough
gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

Why? 1/20/2005
why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing,
grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham? If
the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of
booth beeth? One goose, two geese -- one moose, two meese?
And one index, two indices?

How? 1/20/2005
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a
wise man and wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and
oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are
alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold
as hell another.

Most people know only two things, if that, about Ramon Novarro. He starred opposite Francis X. Bushman in the original Ben-Hur, and that he died the victim of a shocking anti-gay hate crime around the same time as the Charles Manson murder spree.
Yet, there was an entire life and a brilliant career between those two epochal events.

That's a very good question that Jesus is posing, and though he asked it nearly two thousand years ago, it still rings true, maybe even more so than it did originally. If we confess with out mouth, "Jesus is Lord" (Romans 10:9), but then ignore or even deny him in our lives, then what good is that? ...

how far will you go for love? 8/9/2004
How far will you go for love? That is the question that my
best friend always asks me every time I cry because my boyfriend
and I got fight. For me, I will go as far as my feelings will
take me. Even if the one I love doesn't return the same
amount of love that I gave him. No matter how I get hurt and
cry, at least I experienced how to love and be loved.

The Caribbean island of Curaçao (pronounced cure-a-sow)
