One sunny day in January, 2013, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue where he’d been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, “I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.”
The Marine looked at the man and said, “Sir, Mr. Obama is no longer President and no longer resides here.”
The old man said, “Okay,” and walked away.
The following day the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, “I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.”
The Marine again told the man, “Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama is no longer President and no longer resides here.”
The man thanked him and again just walked away.
The third day the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying, “I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.”
The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, “Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Obama. I’ve told you already that Mr. Obama is no longer the President and no longer resides here. Don’t you understand?”
The old man looked at the Marine and said, “Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it.”
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, “See you tomorrow, Sir.

Hi there! I made it two Friday mornings in a row!
Pendulum Waves
You may recall from a Mechanics course that the period of a pendulum is proportional to the square root of the length of the line suspending the weight - i.e., the longer the pendulum, the slower it swings.
Cambridge students built a device with a series of 15 pendulums in a row, each one slightly longer than its neighbor, then set them in motion and filmed the result.
The resulting patterns in this short video are quite fascinating to watch.

Dude, I’m complaining to the boss about you if I don’t get amy more work done because I’m watching that over and over again. Especially since it links to other cool ones like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9PZizBDBZw&feature=relmfu
Get work done?
Obviously you are part of the one percent.
Here’s another way to look at the Debt Ceiling:
Let’s say, You come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood....and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.
What do you think you should do ……?
Raise the ceilings, or pump out the $#!t?

Hey guys, so you’re camping out at your local “occupy” protest and through the smoky haze you spot the girl of your dreams. She’s absolute perfection with her purple mohawk, nose rings and unshaven legs. But you need a good pick up line! Here’s a few proven winners: 1) “What time do you get off not working?” 2) “Your parents’ basement or mine?” 3) “We have so much in common, I don’t know why I’m here either” 4) “You remind me of a female Janeane Garafalo” and my favorite 5) “Just got my Pell Grant & food stamps. LET’S PARTY!” Happy hunting!
Can I get an Amen?
It’s a miracle, I tell you; a miracle!
Bankers line up to re-occupy Wall Street.
