No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, and purple.

Clans of long ago that wanted to get rid of their unwanted people without killing them use to burn their houses down – hence the expression “to get fired.”

“I am.” is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.

The glue on Israeli postage stamps is certified kosher.

The term, “It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye” is from Ancient Rome. The only rule during wrestling matches was, “No eye gouging.” Everything else was allowed, but the only way to be disqualified was to poke someone’s eye out.

Every time you lick a stamp, you’re consuming 1/10 of a calorie.

ONLY IN MERRY OLDE ENGLAND (actual trial)

A young woman who was several months pregnant boarded a bus. When she noticed a young man smiling at her she began feeling humiliated on account of her condition. She changed her seat and he seemed more amused.

She moved again and then on her fourth move he burst out laughing. She had him arrested and when the case came before the court this was the man’s reply when asked why he acted in such a manner:

“When the lady boarded the bus I couldn’t help noticing she was pregnant. She sat under an advertisment which read “Coming Soon The Gold Dust Twins”, then she moved under one that read “Sloans Liniments remove Swelling”. I was even more amused when she sat under a shaving advertisement which read “William Stick Did The Trick”. Then I could not control myself any longer when on the fourth move she sat under an advertisement which read “Dunlop Rubber would have prevented this accident.” He won the case.

Why does your nose run, and your feet smell?

Why is it that when you are driving and looking for an address, you turn the radio down?

Is it because light travels faster than sound why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

It’s zero degrees outside today and it’s supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow. How cold will it be?

Why are there 5 syllables in the word “monosyllabic”?

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

Geek Code update

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

I was cleaning up some files and ran across my old Geek Code. I have updated for my current status. I was amazed that after 10 years, the only things I have changed are my Age and Unix experience. Here is my current Geek Code block:
