  1. Vegans: Why not buy a Tesla so you have two things to tell people about when you meet them.
  2. This is a message to the teacher who said that I'd never amount to anything. That was just a lucky guess!
  3. You posted a link to a newspaper article, and the paper it referenced. I acknowledged your post, and posted a direct link to the slide pack used in the presentation of that paper, plus highlighted what I found to be a significant conclusion regarding Russia's future as an oil exporting nation.
  4. The presentation for this report is also available here for download in pdf format. The predictions on what will happen to Russia's status as an oil exporter are particularly interesting: "Russia’s inability to grow oil production would prove crippling: not only would the country lose much of its global geopolitical sway, but as the purchasing power of oil buyers vis-à-vis Russia increases, and as its revenue plummets, as both the quantity produced and potentially the price of Ural crude drops, at least relatively to other crudes, the Russian budget would face perennial budget shortfalls and deficits each year – a surefire recipe for domestic discontent". https://yale.box.com/s/7f6agg5ezscj234kahx35lil04udqgeo
  5. I saw a Facebook competition to win a meal at a Vegan restaurant, the caption said 'bring a friend' I can't imagine that being successful.
  6. My wife said sex with me is boring because I get easily distracted... Oh well, best get back on with it.
  7. Having my ears syringed is one of the most painful things I've ever done. I can hear my wife perfectly now.
  8. Seven dwarfs in a bath all feeling happy. Then happy got out and they all felt grumpy.
  9. The other day I went for a walk down a little road where the houses were numbered 64k, 128k, 256k, 512k and 1gig. It was a trip down memory lane.
  10. Brian leaned on the bar at his favorite pub and announced “My wife Maggie must love me more an any woman has ever loved any man!” The bartender inquired. “What makes you say that?” Brian beamed with pride, “Last week, I had to take a couple of sick days from work..." "Maggie was so thrilled to have me around,that every time a mail or delivery person came by, she’d run down the drive waving her arms hollering, ‘My husband’s home! My husband’s home!’"
  11. A man really hated his wife’s cat. One day, he put the cat in his car and took it to the end of the block and let it go. When he got home he saw that the cat had beat him home. Undeterred, he put the cat in the car and took it a few miles across the city and tossed it out the car again. Upon returning home, he was astonished to see that the cat had beat him home again. Determined at this point, the man took the cat and drove him across the city, over the river, through the woods, and clear across three counties before putting the cat outside and driving off. Several hours later the man’s wife was at home when the phone rang. She picked up and it was her husband. “Is the cat there?” He asked. “Yes…” she replied. “Well put him on the phone, I’m lost”
