Thought for Today

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

REALLY?
Let's see you blow your nose on an iPad...
Have you seen the video where the techno freak is annoying everyone about paper being so last century, then the next shot is him sitting on the throne of contemplation and spies the empty toilet roll holder. He calls out for someone to shove some paper under the door and next thing a notebook tablet is pushed under the door :lol:
Swatting flies with an iPad can get expensive I've been told .

Much that passes as idealism is disguised hatred or disguised love of power.

Ignorance is Liberating
You're not restricted by facts or knowledge.
You're a Free Person and, as such, able to form your own conclusions.

If the airliners' "black boxes" are made of indestructible material, why don't they make the whole plane from it?

Because, black boxes can't fly, if the black box could fly they wouldn't crash with the rest of the plane ;) :D

One from Tim Minchin on the TV last night. Not exactly sure of the wording but it went something like this "Think of all the good things you did last yr and aim to do them even better in the New Yr."
