FRIDAY FUNNIES

HARRY HARRISON ON 'TRUTHS'

 “Just because you know a thing is true in theory, doesn't make it true in fact. The barbaric religions of primitive worlds hold not a germ of scientific fact, though they claim to explain all. Yet if one of these savages has all the logical ground for his beliefs taken away — he doesn't stop believing. He then calls his mistaken beliefs 'faith' because he knows they are right. And he knows they are right because he has faith. This is an unbreakable circle of false logic that can't be touched. In reality, it is plain mental inertia. A case of thinking 'what always was' will also 'always be.' And not wanting to blast the thinking patterns out of the old rut.”

From Deathworld (1960)

BREWHUB

 Ohhh, yeahhh…coming soon (April/May) to a Lakeland near me! Can’t wait, will be contract brewing (for starters) for Cigar City, Orange Blossom Pilsner, & B.J.’s Brewhouse. And they hope to add more later. Of course, they will have a tasting room, so that should be fun.

 Just need to find somewhere to drop the wife off once or twice a month to keep her occupied, 

while I keep my mouth occupied tasting new beers!

REALLY?

'County leaders said they've looked into the issues and are under strict regulations from state water officials. They say sinkholes shouldn't be a problem but residents don't buy that. They plan to fight until the end.

"Beyond the end, if we need to," said Jones.'

Really? Let me know how 

that works for you...

JACKRABBIT JUNCTION JITTERS

By Ann Charles:

‘Jealousy had a psychedelic way of distorting her sanity.’

‘She felt like a cover girl for Pariah Monthly.’

WHO KNEW?

phillumenist:

‘A person who collects match-related items, like matchbox labels, matchboxes, matchbooks, or matchbook covers.’

Oddly enough, for many years I collected matchbooks; back when smoking wasn’t verboten it was easy to find them pretty much everywhere – hell, our wedding info was written on matchbooks from the place Phyl and I met way back when and we put them with the place settings at our wedding reception! Still have the matchbooks somewhere, had a few thousand and they’re in the garage; the point being I never knew there was a name for collecting them, go figure…

NOW WE KNOW 'GANGNAM STYLE'

Patients' names were written on the bones

A plastic surgery clinic in Seoul's chic Gangnam district has been fined for displaying a decorative tower made of bone removed from patients' chins, it appears.

TRUER WORDS WERE NEVER SPOKEN

“Information is not knowledge.
Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not truth.
Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
Love is not music.
Music is THE BEST.” 

Frank Zappa

GOOD FOR THE PAIN, YOUR BRAIN...AND YOUR STOMACH

 Saw this in Time magazine the other day. Apparently a Girl Scout in San Francisco set up outside a marijuana dispensary & sold 117 boxes of cookies in two hours. This was a 46% increase over the number of boxes she had sold outside a grocery store.

 Seems to me the Girl Scouts should set up a permanent cookie shelf inside all the dispensaries and sell those cookies all year long!

(Of course it's photoshopped!)
