A new Athletic Alliance has been discovered! An advertising campaign is now underway and the above image is proof. It seems our great Olympians are tired of being persecuted for trying to keep up with their competition, so they’ve banded together to fight the high Olympic Standards. They want it to be legal to use certain types of steroids and performance enhancing drugs during the games! Why? Because they all use them anyway.

  CRACKS

On a morning show on a local alternative station (107.7, the X, in Birmingham, Alabama), the hosts were discussing the recent ruling against Napster. One host moaned, "It's over... I can't believe it's over..." The second host countered, "No, no, it's not over until you download the fat lady singing..."

When I was younger I hated going to weddings...it seemed that all of my aunts and the grandmotherly types used to come up to me, poke me in the ribs, cackle, and tell me, "You're next."...They stopped that crap after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

How can we doubt the power of lord Gates?

Don't feel too bad for the problems Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson has had with the appeals court which may stop his plan to split Microsoft in two. Even God failed today in his attempt to split Microsoft in two!

  TRIVIA

On March 15th in 1869

The Cincinnati Red Stockings, the first professional baseball team in America, had quite a day in Yellow Springs, Ohio, where they trounced Antioch 41-7. They weren’t even the Big Red Machine back then! In fact, the team was so embarrassed about their name, they changed it to Cincinnati Red Legs and even after that, (but long before Pete Rose) they became the Cincinnati Reds.

Really Bad Predictions...

"Between changed environmental factors and better drugs, coronary heart disease will be pretty well licked by 2000."

- Dr. Irvine Page of the Cleveland Clinic, 1966.

"Law will be simplified and brought within the range of the common people. As a result, the occupation of two-thirds of the lawyers will be destroyed [in the next century]."

- minister Thomas Dixon, Jr., 1893.
Wouldn't that have been nice!

"Edison said he could light by electricity a room and even a whole town…I did not think the device amounted to a row of pins."

- eminent Bostonian J. Murray Forbes.

"Apart from the electromobile, there will [in 1984] be thousands of appliances similar to those of today; vacuum cleaners, electric drills, toasters, irons and so on. But they will be enormously different in one respect. They will no longer need to be plugged into the electric current, but will be driven instead by an independent source of energy."

- nuclear physicist Jacques Bergier, Impossible Possibilities, 1968.
Can you imagine having a Nuclear Curling Iron?

In 1952, IBM forecasted the total global market for computers as 52 units. In 1982, IBM forecasted the total global market for PC's as 200,000 units. In 1966 RCA forecasted that there would be 220,000 computers in the United States by the turn of the 21st Century. - Less than current weekly shipments.

- From the book Bad Predictions by Laura Lee

Love Life

A Frenchman and an American were seated next to a Newfie on an overseas flight. After a few cocktails, the men began discussing their sex lives.
"Last night I made love to my wife four times," the Frenchman bragged, "and this morning she made me delicious crepes and she told me how much she adored me."
"Ah, last night I made love to my wife six times," the American responded, "and this morning she made me a wonderful omelet and told me she could never love another man."
When the Newfie remained silent, the Frenchman smugly asked, "And how many times did you make love to your wife last night?"
"Once," he replied.
"Only once?" the American arrogantly snorted. "And what did she say to you this morning?"
"Don't stop."

Learning Your Lesson!

A young female teacher was giving an assignment to her 6th grade class one day. It was a large assignment so she started writing high up on the chalkboard. Suddenly there was a giggle from one of the boys in the class. She quickly turned and asked, "What's so funny,Pat?"
"I just saw one of your garters!"
"Get out of my classroom," she yells, "I don't want to see you for three days!"
The teacher turns back to the chalkboard. Realizing she had forgotten to title the assignment, she reaches to the very top of the chalkboard. Suddenly there is an even louder giggle from another male student. She quickly turns and asks, "What's so funny, Billy?"
"I just saw both of your garters!"
Again, she yells, "Get out of my classroom! This time the punishment is more severe, I don't want to see you for three weeks!"
Embarrassed and frustrated, she drops the eraser when she turns around again. So she bends over to pick it up. This time there is an burst of laughter from another male student. She quickly turns to see Little Johnny leaving the classroom.
"Where do you think you're going?" she asks.
"From what I just saw, my school days are over!"

Mozart's Grave...

When Mozart passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Mozart was buried. Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it.

The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave. Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate. When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, yes, that's Mozart's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards." He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling." So the magistrate kept listening; "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..."

Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Mozart decomposing."
