Secluded homes
Some of these look like they would be wonderful homes but they are so secluded I think I would be too lonely.

Go Navy ! ! !
The U.S.S. Constitution (Old Ironsides), as a combat vessel, carried 48,600 gallons of fresh water for her crew of 475 officers and men. This was sufficient to last six months of sustained operations at sea. She carried no evaporators (i.e. fresh water distillers!).
According to her ship's log, "On July 27, 1798, the U.S.S. Constitution sailed from Boston with a full complement of 475 officers and men, 48,600 gallons of fresh water, 7,400 cannon shot, 11,600 pounds of black powder and 79,400 gallons of rum."
Her mission: "To destroy and harass English shipping."Making Jamaica on 6 October, she took on 826 pounds of flour and 68,300 gallons of rum.
Then she headed for the Azores , arriving there 12 November. She provisioned with 550 pounds of beef and 64,300 gallons of Portuguese wine.
On 18 November, she set sail for England . Inthe ensuing days she defeated five British "man-of-war" and captured and scuttled 12 English merchant ships, salvaging only the rum aboard each.
By 26 January, her powder and shot were exhausted. Nevertheless, although unarmed she made a night raid up the Firth of Clyde in Scotland. Her landing party captured a whisky distillery and transferred 40,000 gallons of single malt Scotch aboard by dawn. Then she headed home.
The U.S.S. Constitution arrived in Boston on 20 Fe bruary, 1799, with no cannon shot, no food, no powder, no rum, no wine, no whisky, and 38,600 gallons of water.
GO NAVY!!!
Uncle Mike's Joke
A guy walked into a bar and sat down next to an extremely gorgeous woman. The first thing he noticed about her was her pants. They were skin-tight, high-waisted and had no zippers, buttons or velcro for opening them. After several minutes of puzzling over how she got the pants up over her hips, he finally worked up the nerve to ask her."Excuse me miss, but how do you get into your pants?" he asks."Well," she replied, "You can start by buying me a drink."
Roswell...
Ponder This
Many of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, over 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object, (UFO) with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico. This is a well-known incident, that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies and organizations. However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of March 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:
o Hillary Rodham
o John F. Kerry
o William J. Clinton
o Howard Dean
o Nancy Pelosi
o Dianne Feinstein
o Charles E. Schumer
o Barbara Boxer
See what happens when aliens breed with sheep and cattle?
I certainly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things for you.
It sure did for me

Big money...
That’s the highest denomination dollar bill ever printed. Well, actually it’s a not a dollar bill, it’s a gold certificate:
What’s a gold certificate? Well a gold certificate is money that the government prints that only they can own and use. It is intended for only the use in Fiscal Channels. They were never issued or used for general circulation. This specific gold certificate was printed in 1934 and has the 28th president, Woodrow Wilson’s portrait on it. There were only 42,000 $100,000 dollar bills printed and the only ones around today are not for sale and are used for educational purposes only. The few remaining undestroyed $100,000 bills are institutionalized today and may be seen only in some museums.

Scott Adams...
This is a recent post from Scott Adams (the creator of Dilbert) blog and I thought it was worth sharing:
There’s a lot to like about Obama as a candidate for President. The man has gifts; no doubt about it. But the thing that fascinates me most is how hard it is to label him.
He’s neither white nor black.
He’s neither old nor young.
He’s not a southerner or northerner because he grew up in Hawaii.
He’s not too left or too right.
He’s not too Christian, and even has a Muslim name.
He’s not an old school politician or a newcomer.
He’s not handsome in a standard way, yet he’s attractive.
He’s a man, but somehow projects a feminine vibe too.
I predict Obama will win the Democratic nomination. In the general election he will lead in the polls but lose to John McCain because the Republicans will do a better job of rigging the election.

Too Cool...
This Ford F-650-based SUV weighing in at a paltry 25,999 pounds features a Caterpillar 7.2L C7 ACERT engine with 230 horsepower and 660 lb.-ft. of torque. For the low low price of $200,000 you get hardwood floors, custom captain's chairs, four wireless computer stations, a 42" plasma TV and a rear view camera so you don't accidentally run over a Yukon XL.

BMF Sydney has created ‘Ella’, a giant, naked woman in the centre of Sydney, whose skin is made up entirely of peaches (approximately 24,000); she is a creative and engaging interpretation of Ella Baché’s brand proposition, Skin Good Enough To Eat.

Lord of the rings...
As of today, the only people who need a second hand to wear all their Super Bowl rings are Mike Woicik and Neal Dahlen. Woicik was strength and conditioning coach for the Dallas Cowboys during their three championships in the 1990s. He moved on to the New England Patriots, where he’s helped train three more title teams (2001, 2003, 2004). He’ll be going for a seventh ring tomorrow.
Dahlen won five with the San Francisco 49ers as a staff assistant and two more with the Denver Broncos. Bill Bellichick and Pepper Johnson, who each won two titles with the New York Giants and three with the Pats, could join the second-hand club tomorrow.
The player to win the most rings was Charles Haley (two with San Francisco and three with Dallas).

I am SO going to do this...
The changing table's storage shelves and waist-high height make it a perfect bar cart. The shelves were adapted with metal racks for hanging wineglasses and storing cans and bottles. A rack on the side stores drink garnishes, and hooks hold bar towels. Once the safety strap was removed, the top shelf was cut to hold an ice bucket, while guardrails rein in bottles and snacks. After being sanded and primed, the table was painted with white semi-gloss paint. Printable water-slide decal paper images of popular drinks were glued to clear sheets of corrugated plastic, then applied to the sides of the table with finishing washers. Casters were added for ultimate mobility.
Nice Crib...
Want to make your little one feel like a princess and can afford to spend lavishly then this ultra-luxe cradle is straight out of a fairytale. The carriage is not festooned with diamonds or any other precious metal but is just equipped with rear changing table, so the $14,899 price tag is not justified but it’s gorgeous, otherwise.
