Here is a joke I found whilst stumbling around the Internet this morning:

—-
A woman was shopping at her local supermarket where she selected:

* a half-gallon of 2% milk,
* a carton of eggs,
* a quart of orange juice,
* a head of romaine lettuce,
* a 2 lb. can of coffee,
* and a 1 lb. package of bacon.

As she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk man standing behind her watched as she placed the items in front of the cashier.

While the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the drunk man slurred, “You must be single.”

The woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but she was intrigued by the stranger’s intuition, since she was indeed single.

She looked at her six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about her selections that could have tipped him off to her marital status.

Curiosity getting the better of her, she said “Well, you know what, you’re absolutely correct. But how on earth did you know that?”

The drunk man touched the side of his nose twice, winked, and lisped, “‘cuz you’re ugly.”

Happy Thanksgiving.

I just came across the collaborative art project, Pixelfest, in which random web surfers like yourself can contribute by changing one pixel per day. Pictured above was the status of the image when I added my own contribution this morning.

This is my newest vector drawing. See the rest of my vector art here.

Memry is a memory flash game that uses Flickr tags to choose images for the game.

The 1918 flu virus, that caused the Spanish Flu Pandemic, also known as the Great Influenza Pandemic, has been recently resurrected by scientists in an effort to understand how the virus works, and to potentially prevent a similar outbreak.

It was the culmination of work that began a decade ago and involved fishing tiny fragments of the 1918 virus from snippets of lung tissue from two soldiers and an Alaskan woman who died in the 1918 pandemic. The soldiers’ tissue had been saved in an Army pathology warehouse, and the woman had been buried in permanently frozen ground.
