Lawyer joke

This is from a list of lawyer jokes a friend sent.

ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
ATTORNEY: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

Alexander Calder’s wire puppet circus

boingboing has links to “Carlos Vilardebo’s 1961 documentary of mobile-maker Alexander Calder’s intricate, ingenious wire puppet circus. The flying trapeezes actually fly, the lion poops, and the belly dancer gyrates lasciviously in the mind-blowing film that shows that, had Calder not become famous as an artist, he might have been equally famous as a puppeteer. In four parts.” On YouTube: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4

Why is the World Cup better than the Olympics?

Mick Hartley asks, “Why is the World Cup so much better than its global rival, the Olympics?” and gives 12 reasons …. our favorites …

  • You can’t harness football to political ends as you can with athletics.

  • The Olympics is not only about racing against other competitors, it’s also a race against the drug-testing rules. The whole event is fatally compromised by drugs. With football it’s not even clear what drugs would be appropriate: given the history of the sport, probably booze and fags.
  • Football’s always got an element of chance.
  • Footballers are normal guys who just happen to be very good at football. Olympic events are full of tree-trunk-thighed weirdos.

The Footie,” Mick Hartley, June 11, 2006

Tired of eating fancy food?

then try Monkey Chow … The Monkey Chow Diaries is a diary by Angry (Canadian) Man

Imagine going to the grocery store only once every 6 months. Imagine paying less than a dollar per meal. Imagine never washing dishes, chopping vegetables or setting the table ever again. It sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

But can a human subsist on a constant diet of pelletized, nutritionally complete food like puppies and monkeys do? For the good of human kind, I’m about to find out. On June 3, 2006, I began my week of eating nothing but monkey chow: “a complete and balanced diet for the nutrition of primates, including the great apes.”

We love this Day 3 entry:

Monkey-like Attributes: Do monkeys have superhuman olfactory senses? Because I can smell every hamburger barbequed within 5 miles of my house.

Twenty bucks a day, I believe he’s got you beat … at least on the money factor … 20 pounds of ZuPreem Primate Dry Diet Animal Food is only $30 .. plus shipping … should last a few weeks …
