SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - A tipsy tourist couldn't spot Ayers Rock despite parking about 100 metres away with his headlights pointing at the landmark, police said.

A 44-year-old Australian man flagged down a car late Tuesday night thinking it was carrying park rangers and asked directions to the giant red monolith jutting out of an Outback plain.

Uluru (also Ayers Rock or The Rock) is a large rock formation in central Australia, in the Northern Territory. It is located in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, 350 km southwest of Alice Springs at 25 degrees 20' 41" S 131 degrees 01' 57" E. It is the second-largest monolith in the world (after Mount Augustus, also in Australia), more than 318 m (986 ft) high and 8 km (5 miles) around. It also extends 2.5 km (1.5 miles) into the ground.

THE FORGOTTEN "R"

A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand.

He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript.

So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be picked up. In fact, that error would be continued in all of the subsequent copies.

The head monk, says, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son." So, he goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where the original manuscripts are held as archives in a locked vault that hasn't been opened for hundreds of
years.

Hours go by and nobody sees the old abbot. So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him. He sees him banging his head against the wall, and wailing, "We forgot the "R", we forgot the "R" His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably. The young monk asks the old abbot, "What's wrong, father?"

With a choking voice, the old abbot replies, "The word was 'celebrate'."

There are a few of you that would enjoy getting vibed

If the wearer seems to be failing to engage his or her listener, the software makes the hand-held computer vibrate.

Do I qualify for a card? I know I'm a male, but I was a witness at the birth.

If so... the number 666 suits me.

[Dashing Dasher]

That's HILARIOUS!

Who said you can't buy anything on ebay!

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

r-q-tek86, Ingtar wants to be a IPW member. He would like #666 if it not taken.

With a choking voice, the old abbot replies, "The word was 'celebrate'."

That would be funny if "celibate" were spelled "celebate."

I pinged you to read it. I was laughing so loud, people know I am crazy now.

[Maximus of Texas]

Well, considering r-q-tek86 already pinged her over here, I'm sure she has seen everything.

[Dashing Dasher]

I'm good too - just not like that.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Oh OK, well the IPW is dominant here.

[Ingtar]

I thought something looked odd in it.
