Now this is funny!!! If you don't laugh, then you need to have your reality c he c ked!!
The Dept Of Defense briefed the president this morning, they told OBAMA that 2 Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq .
To everyone's surprise, all the c olor drained from Obama's fa c e.
Then he c ollapsed onto his desk, head in his hands, visibly shaken, almost in tears.
Finally, he c omposed himself and asked, 'Just how many is a brazilian?'
This is espe c ially funny sin c e he obviously has no understanding of billion or trillion either.
Subje c t: Solving the Stonehenge mystery
REALLY INTERESTING!
For hundreds, maybe thousands, of years, people have been trying to figure out how primitive people c ould build huge stru c tures su c h as Stonehenge and the pyramids out of stone blo c ks weighing thousands of pounds. S c ientists have been stumped.
Then along c omes a normal guy, a retired c onstru c tion worker, and says, "Well, I would do it like this" -- and he does!
This guy uses the simplest tools known to man and shows how simple and easy it would have been to c reate Stonehenge . This really is a great video c lip. Amazing how this guy c ould figure out something that has c onfounded s c holars for c enturies -- and not only figures it out, but demonstrates it! This guy c ould build a repli c a of Stonehenge single-handedly, while a c ommittee of 20 or 30 c ivil engineering professors from leading universities would be debating how it might be done.

turnabout is fair play!
An Israeli do c tor says 'Medi c ine in my c ountry is so advan c ed that we c an take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks.'
A German do c tor says 'That is nothing; we c an take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks.'
A Russian do c tor says 'In my c ountry, medi c ine is so advan c ed that we c an take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks.'
An Illinois do c tor, not to be outdone, says 'You guys are way behind. We re c ently took a man with experien c e out of Chi c ago , put him in the White House for one month, and now half the WORLD is looking for work.'
158 years ago...
California became a state. The State had no electricity. The State had no money. Almost everyone spoke Spanish. There were gunfights in the streets. So basi c ally, it was just like California today; ex c ept the women had real breasts and the men didn't hold hands..
WORRY
Is there a magi c c utoff period when Offspring be c ome a c c ountable for their own A c tions? Is there a wonderful moment when Parents c an be c ome deta c hed spe c tators in The lives of their c hildren and shrug, "It's Their life," and feel nothing?
When I was in my twenties, I stood in a hospital Corridor waiting for do c tors to put a few Stit c hes in my daughter's head. I asked, "When do You stop worrying?" The nurse said, "When they get out of the a c c ident stage." My Dad just smiled faintly and said nothing.
When I was in my thirties, I sat on a little Chair in a c lassroom and heard how one of my Children talked in c essantly, disrupted the c lass, And was headed for a c areer making Li c ense plates. As if to read my mind, a tea c h er Said, "Don't worry, they all go through This stage and then you c an sit ba c k, relax and Enjoy them." My dad just smiled Faintly and said nothing.
When I was in my forties, I spent a lifetime Waiting for the phone to ring, the c ars to c ome Home, the front door to open. A friend said, "They're trying to find themselves.. Don't worry, In a few years, you c an stop worrying. They'll be Adults." My dad just smiled faintly And said nothing.
By the time I was 50, I was si c k & tired of being Vulnerable. I was still worrying over my Children, but there was a new wrinkle. There Was nothing I c ould do about it. My Dad just smiled faintly and said nothing. I Continued to anguish over their failures, be Tormented by their frustrations and absorbed in Their disappointments.
My friends said that when m y k ids got married I Could stop worrying and lead my own Life. I wanted to believe that, but I was Haunted by my dad's warm smile and his O c c asional, "You look pale. Are you all right? Call me the minute you get home. Are You depressed about something?"
Can it be that parents are senten c ed to a Lifetime of worry? Is c on c ern for one another Handed down like a tor c h to blaze the trail of Human frailties and the fears of the Unknown? Is c on c ern a c urse or is it a virtue That elevates us to the highest form of life?
One of my c hildren be c ame quite irritable Re c ently, saying to me, "Where were you? I've been Calling for 3 days, and no one answered I was worried." I smiled a warm smile. The tor c h has been passed.
PASS IT ON TO OTHER WONDERFUL PARENTS
(And also to your c hildren. That's the fun part) May your troubles be less, you r b lessings be more, and nothing but happiness c ome through your door

WOW!!! A friend just told me about this. I c an't believe it! You c annot hide anywhere, anymore! Che c k it out! I have seen them use this on CSI, but didn't know we had a c c ess to it! It is getting so that you c an't be or do anything in the world, SCARY. Don't put any dashes or spa c es between your area c ode & numbers. (0000000000)
This is interesting... Just c li c k on the link, enter someone's c ell phone number, and the satellite map will show you where they are. It's c alled 'mobile phone tra c ker' and was first put to use to aid 911 responders.
Using a satellite map, tra c k any c onne c ted mobile phone with c overage anywhere in the world. Try it.....it works!!! After you've viewed it, pass it on to everyone you like.
