What I have to say...

This is amazing and very funny. . . .

The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet,8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.

Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in England , and English expatriates built the US railroads

Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used.

Why did 'they' use that ... read more

--------------------------------

I am me.

In all the world, there is no one exactly like me.

There are persons who have some parts like me,

but no one adds up exactly

like

me.

From a co-worker:

The Final Word on Nutrition?

Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?

My Testimonials

June 12, 2007
She's been one of the bright spots in my life for a few years now. A sweet loving partner and crazy silly gal who still makes me smile and remember that the universe has some love left in it. My friend. My girlfriend. My lover. My conscience. The person who I turn to when I feel myself dragged down. The first person I want to call when things are going good. The first person I call when things are going bad. A reason for me to get up in the morning. She has the advantage of being the new set of eyes through which I see the world (again) and renew my hope in this reality.
