1 A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah". The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him". 2 A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionall…

@dead_x_12 is getting close to high school and he is starting to consider which foreign language class to take. His options are Spanish, French or Russian. Which would you choose? I think he should take Spanish because far more people in the USA speak that than the other 2, he is leaning towards Russian (dunno why) but it could have future opportunities if he were to really get into it.

Velum, I'm not really sure that it's significant enough to to be posted in the GTA Online category, because it was a thought I just had. "You're such a Cheetah, I saw you hacking, Hearse the evidence. See? I stabbed you with my Blade 3 times and you didn't die. Stop hacking you Faggio stop!!! Stop putting Bullets in me while I'm exposing you Hexors! TomMonroe, imma report you to Rockstar and make an Exemplar out of you, for I am Zion Cabrio the Dominator." "Lol, says someone in a Vader-like costume from the LTS DLC, your such a Jester. You can't kill this Rebel scum, and Emperor Palpatine will be sure to be Thrusting you with his lightSabre tonight." …

Let's get to know each other a little better. List 3-5 interesting facts about you that not many people know. You don't have to share anything personal. I'll start... 1) I'm terrified of bees. 2) I enjoy hiking. 3) I've sprained both my knees numerous times, all from separate occasions, so I have knees of a 70 year old woman... maybe worse. 4) I had Lasik eye surgery done in June 2013. (best decision ever!) 5) I love beaches. If I could afford a beach house, I'd have one.

Funny thing is even now I still get excited about my birthday -- also get excited about my kids birthdays -- get scared about my wife's b-day (dont know how she is going to react to it, and never know what to get her)... Anyway, back to my birthday -- the main reason why I always loved my birthday is because of the surprise b-day presents of course... I dont mean cash, or gift cards, or presents you actually asked for, or crap that someone gives you because they want it -- and they figure you would want it too... I mean someone gives you present by …

If you had the cash to do it and could get a week or month of work where would you go and why? I would love to go see Egypt and France. Egypt because the pyramids fascinate me and France because that is where my family comes from back in ye olden days. Can't say Paris interests me much, but more the rural areas. That to me is where you meet the real people and not the tourist scammers.

A thread where you can get out your frustrations and rant about whatever. Though not anything crew related. Keep that shit private with the people involved. I'll start, So since the financial crisis begun there has been nothing but budget cuts on the school programs, the medical system, the care for the elders and the most vulnerable in my little country which is otherwise world-renowned for its social welfare system and being one of the least corrupt countries. And what are our already overpaid members of the parlament doing these days.. well, they are planning to give themselves a fucking 15-30% raise along with even more bonuses. Dickheads!

10 worst jobs in history

1. Leech collector – Until the late 19th century, leeches were in high demand for medicinal bloodletting – the withdrawal of very small amounts of blood from a patient as therapy. Despite the demand, leech-gatherers were poorly paid. Worse still, they often collected the leeches by letting them latch on to their own legs – a practice through which they could lose dangerous amounts of blood. 2. Snake milker – While we’re on dangerous jobs, here’s one that still exists today. Snakes have long been milked for their venom, which is then used to create antivenin to treat snake bites. One renowned milker, Bill Haast, survived 172 venomous snake bites during …

The most "ridiculous" gun attachment game.

- 650 views
Story: So me and my friend were coming up with the most ridiculous gun attachments which is pretty laughable in a lot of the cases. How to play: In this game, you have to use a weapon that normally is impossible or out of the norm to add real/fake gun attachment. (By fake I mean stuff such as COD attachment, etc) *You can use a vehicle as your base as well* Ex. My carbon fibre knife with: -suppressor -40x scope -angled grip -pink camo -laser sight -bipod on the angle grip Vehicle example. My Lamborgini Segway with: -Chrome paint job …

179Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Throne of Blood (1957) dir Akira Kurosawa This is Kurosawa's version of Macbeth. It's not like the more usual Shakespearian adaptations that use the original lines, rather it's the same basic story with different lines in a different setting; medieval Japan. It's unmistakeably Macbeth right from the start as the camera pans across a misty, mysterious, highland landscape. Toshirô Mifune stars Washizu (i.e. Macbeth), initially a soldier (I guess you would say Samurai, although I am not totally sure of the correct usage of that) in the army of the local lord (i.e. King Duncan). Washizu and another soldier, Miki (i.e. Macduff), are on the way back from a victorious battle to their lord's castle. They get lost in forest and come across a spirit (equivalent of the witches) who foretells their promotion and that eventually Washizu will be the new lord but it will be Miki's son who succeeds him. They are promoted, Washizu tells his wife (Lady Macbeth, obviously) about the prophecy and it is she who encourages him on the path of deceit, betrayal and murder that will see him full-fill the rest of the prophecy but attempt to change it so that a son of his own succeeds him. One thing I did find slightly odd, and funny, is that whereas in Shakespeare's original (and the historical facts it is based on) Macbeth becomes King of Scotland, here Washizu becomes Lord of Spider's Web Castle. I am assuming that in Japanese “Spider's Web Castle” sounds more impressive than it does in English. It is very well made, of course, and the actors are good, particularly Isuzu Yamada as Lady Washizu. Like Olivier's Shakespeare adaptions it does not seem dated, and I think the Shakespearian style is what helps there. There is some very impressive cinematography, both of the landscapes and some of the castle interior scenes. One that sticks in my mind is when Lady Washizu hatches one of her plans we see her walk into another room, that is pitch black and then emerge shortly after carrying some bottles of drugged saki. The camera stays fixed for all of this, with the doorway to the dark room in the centre so it's almost like she disappears and then reappears, as if using magic. Definitely well worth watching if you are into Shakespeare or Samurai films. 9 / 10- 1

TV shows
I just finished watching The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. Highly recommended! It's a horror-drama in 8 episodes, very loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe short stories or poems with each episode named after a different work of his. I have never read any of them and some had not even heard of, but I now at least know the brief synopsis of them from Wikipedia. What the creators have done is woven together a plot primarily based on the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" that greatly expands on that. The first episode has the same name as the whole series. Roderick Usher, corrupt billionaire head of a major pharmaceutical company, invites an old adversary, lawyer August Dupin, to his family's derelict house, to confess to a host of crimes. Dupin has been trying to prosecute the Ushers for decades but they always got away with it. Now, following the recent deaths of all six of his children, supposedly in freak, horrific, unrelated accidents, Roderick wants to come clean. Most of the story is now told in flash back, both to the early years of Roderick and his sister Maddie (the brains behind their rise to power) and the children's recent deaths. The next 6 episode each focus on the violent deaths of a different son or daughter, each related in some way to the Edgar Allen Poe story that episode is named after. The final episode, The Raven, then brings everything to it's conclusion, revealing the true cause of all that has happened. It's very, very good. It is a bit bloody and gory at times, but never over-the-top, always done for a reason and usually to fit in with the story that death is named after. It features Mark Hamil in the most un-Luke-Skywalker-like role you can imagine. I never really rated him as an actor in Star Wars, but here, as the Usher's ruthless lawyer he is excellent. Another Netflix series I think is worth a mention is Kaos It's a modern day story of Greek Gods and Heroes, in a world where they most definitely exist and are still worshipped by mortals. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus and there's other recognisable faces amongst the rest of the cast, including David Thewlis as one of Zeus' brothers and fellow god Hades and Suzie Izzard as one of the Fates. It loosely follows the story of Orpheus in the Underworld, but this is part of a bigger plot with both gods and mortals having to accept what fate has in store for them, whether they like it or not.- 1
