October 14, 1947 – Pilot Chuck Yeager flew the Bell X One rocket plane and became the first person to break the sound barrier.

BREAKING THE SOUND BARIER?

The New York Times reports that Nathan P. Myhrvold, Microsofts chief technology officer, working with a paleontologist, has developed a computer model that provides evidence that some dinosaurs may have been able to use their tails like bull whips, creating a cannon-like sonic boom by exceeding the speed of sound with the last few inches of the tail. Thus, dinosaurs, and not Chuck Yeager, may have been the first life forms on the planet to break the sound barrier.

It struck me as somehow appropriate that Microsofts CTO would concern himself with how to make a dinosaur go so fast.

La maestra les dejó de tarea a sus alumnos investigar qué animal es el más venenoso o ponzoñoso.

Al día siguiente, la profesora le pregunta a Juanita acerca de la tarea y ella le contesta que es la abeja, porque picaba y dejaba hinchado y con mucho dolor. Después le pregunta a Pedro y él le responde que es la víbora, porque su piquete es mortal. Hasta el final, le pregunta a Pepito.

El burro es el animal más ponzoñoso, responde Pepito.

¡Cómo te atreves a decir que es el burro, Pepito!

Sí, maestra, a ver, aguántele un piquetito.

A man sees a blonde woman at the beach one day sporting a walkman and headphones, but thinks nothing of it.



The next day, he sees the same blonde woman at the grocery store, still with the walkman and headphones on. A little suprised, he goes on with his shopping.



The next day was Sunday, and the man headed off to church. The man arrived at the church and found a seat just as the preacher was beginning the sermon. Halfway through the sermon, the man looked over, and to his surprise, saw the same blonde woman. Even more shocking, she was STILL wearing the headphones! The man was so curious as to why she was wearing the headphones, he jumped up, ran over to the woman, and ripped the headphones off her head. She

immediately fell to the ground, clutching her throat. The man, horrified, picked up the headphones to see what was playing in them. To his amasement, the same thing was playing over and over again:



Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out…

I want to become a politician when I grow up so Ive made a list of skills I want to aquire, but

Ive only come up with one: Lying.

Last semester I took macroeconomics and didnt have a clue what I was doing (as cited on the final exam). There were 80 multiple choice questions. For some reason I decided to play the game of probability and choose the letter A for everything. In that game, the only thing probable was that I failed.
The following day, the professor asked to see me after class. Is everything okay? Sure, I said, why? Well, heres your test, he said and handed me a piece of paper that was covered with red ink. Can you explain why you chose an A for everything? Knowing that there was nothing I could do at this point, I said, Well, Ive always wanted to be an A student.
