An ode to technology, and other entertaining nonsense
For the second week in a row, I am going to lay off that Idiot President Dubya, the equally foolhardy PM Paul Martin, the loss of women's rights, and appointments to the Supreme Courts. Instead I'll just blow your mind with some really interesting information I found while on the computer.
Olny srmat poelpe can do this?
I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!
Oh, for the love of computers
I have a spelling checker.
It came with my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.
Eye ran this poem threw it.
Your sure real glad two no.
Its very polished in its weigh,
My checker tolled me sew.
A checker is a blessing.
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.
Each frays comes posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Bee fore a veiling checkers
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if were laks oar have a laps,
We wood bee maid too wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
There are know faults with in my cite,
Of none eye am a wear.
Now spelling does not phase me,
It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped words fare as hear.
To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaws are knot aloud.
Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear four pea seas,
And why eye brake in two averse
Buy righting want too please.
If you cannot dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit (a.k.a. the next time you fall asleep or goof off in class! — Useless Facts)
Honolulu, Hawaii boasts the only royal palace in the United States of America. New Brunswick had a bloodless war with Maine in 1839.
On average, Americans eat one hundred acres of pizza a day. This amounts to about three hundred fifty slices per second: The highest consumption of Pizza occurs during Super Bowl week.
Coca-Cola was the first soft drink to be consumed in outer space.
Back in the 1790's a cookbook had recipes available for ice cream flavours such as parmesan, and ginger ice cream.
Baskin Robbins once made ketchup ice cream. This was the only vegetable flavoured ice cream produced. However, they discontinued it since they thought it would not sell well.
Of all the days of the week, the most popular day for people to eat ice cream is Sunday.
Decaffeinated coffee is not 100 per cent caffeine free. When coffee is being decaffeinated, 2 per cent of the caffeine still remains in it.
The rarest coffee in the world is Kopi Luwak, which is found in Indonesia. It costs about $300 a pound. (And you definitely DO NOT want to know why!)
Beijing boasts the world's largest Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant.
In 1991, during an attempted political coup on Russian President Boris Yelstin, food supplies had dwindled down at the parliament buildings so they ordered Pizza Hut to deliver pizzas.
McDonalds restaurants serve food and drink to an amazing 43 million customers on a daily basis. (Although I cannot imagine WHY!)
The Mr. Sub restaurant's baked over 16,000,000 buns in the year 2001.
There is a restaurant in Stockholm that only offers all-garlic products. They even have a garlic cheesecake.
Hope you enjoyed the stupid stuff. Maybe, as Elton John sings so well, next week “The Bitch is Back” and I will be more in the mood to really gripe about a relevant topic!
