My problem is I don't understand everything I know.
I've been married for over 23 years.
I'm sure all the Husbands will understand.

Work related one... It cost the US Government more to terminate the VH-71 Presidential Helicopter Program a couple of years ago than to have completed the 24 helicopters that were on contract. And after the election, expected sometime in 2013, the Navy is going to release an RFP for another replacement helicopter...

hazardous
horrendous
iodous
iridous
jeopardous
macropodous
molybdous
palladous
phyllocladous
podous
vanadous

Do I get extra bonus for adding one more?
The podous technician left the apodous snake in a jeapordous position, coiled around the phyllocladous plant with macropodous leaves while he searched the hazardous stockroom for an iodous solution amongst the bottles of various iridous, molybdous, vanadous, and palladous solutions and suspensions near the cephalopodous animal's tank.

Never attempt to trim the hedges with your lawnmower.(No, not me ) After I found the guys fingers and transported them to the hospital the surgeon was able to re-attach them after sixteen hours of surgery. I asked him about the patients prospects of the use of his digits. He told me about 75%. He also told me he switched locations of a couple of digits so the guy wouldn't be able to pick his nose. (I love medical humor) The guy taped the kill swith to the mower handle so it would still run if you were wondering. You can't fix stupid.

Definitely never heard that! That is so cool that even if it is not true it ought to be.
Let's see: If a belt has 12 rounds per foot (a guess), a fighter-mounted .50 could get off about 325 rounds before the cupboard was bare. If the rate of fire is 10 rounds per second (again, a guess), each gun has a total of 32 seconds of functionality to it. Is that anywhere near correct?

That's not the Crees. That's the Creeks. Different tribe. Cree are, I believe, Canadian Indians, while the Creeks are the ones Andy Jackson and David Crockett fought in the Redstick War.

Today, September 17 is the Feast Day of St. Hildegard of Bingen, also known as Sybil of the Rhine. She one of the most remarkable people ever regardless of gender or era, let alone a magistra from about 1100AD. Mystic, visionary, healer, adviser, and composer. Among other things, she wrote a morality play, which really can be considered the first opera, and the Church wet its figurative pants over it. She was the 10th child from a well to do family, and, as common practice of the time, was given at an early age as a tithe to the Church.
Her self portrait shows her receiving visions...and flanked on either side, the Corn Man and Corn Woman are shown on two pillars...centuries before European explorers encountered the Native cultures in the New World. And I still use her headache remedies and other recipes.
A fascinating and strong influence in my life, a "feather on the breath of God."

I first heard of her when a heard a revue of Anonymous 4's CD 10,000 Virgins, all of which was composed by Hildegard of Bingen. What a fantastic, relaxing record. That woman must have been a genius.

Yes. Yes she was. 900 years later we look to her still for medicine, advice, spiritual leadership, music, etc. She was known internationally, and leaders and dignitaries sought her counsel. MALE dignitaries and rulers, I might add. And the Pope was scared of her.

I was once drunker than a skunk and my friends had pulled one of my plug wires on my Harley Sportster so I couldn't get it started.It was kick start only. Not only did I get it started after much effort, noticing it was running bad I proceeded to plug the wire back on. 30,000 volt coil folks. I did ride that bike home. And you people wonder what's wrong with me.
