Coincidence or Not?????

I read yesterday that former Vice President Dick Cheney hurt himself while moving boxes out of the White House. When he made his appearance at the Inauguration he was in a wheelchair. Now I don't want to get into politics here, and I do wish the former VP the best of health but, I can't help but think of another rich guy in a wheelchair.....Mr Potter from It's a Wonderful Life. The similarity between the two is scary!

Pictures from Space

EarthObservatory.com is a website run by NASA and it shows some pretty cool images from space. Chances are that you and I are never going to orbit the earth, so here are at least the pictures you would see if you did.

Jusdon Laipply, the creator and star of the original "Evolution of Dance" video has made a follow up called "The Evolution of Dance 2". The original version is the most viewed viral video on YouTube. Here are both versions for your enjoyment.

Best Bud's

This is pretty cool. A 15 year old basset hound named Beryl has made a new friend at an animal shelter in the UK. Beryl met Wol a Owl and the two have been best buds ever since! Here is the whole story....


The pair have become inseparable since meeting at an animal refuge, and are quite happy to cuddle up together on an armchair.
Beryl the Basset Hound, who is a grand old dame at 16 years old, and four-year-old tawny owl Wol struck up a friendship when their owner realised they both loved watching television in the evenings.
Sara Ross, who shares her home in Tenterden, Kent, with the animals said: "They are both rescue animals and they're like best buddies. Wol needs full-time care and one day I was giving him a bit of exercise and he just plonked down on Beryl's back. She doesn't mind, she's really laid back and a bit of a pussycat really.
"She didn't mind at all and now you can't keep them apart.
"Four times-a-week you'll see them settle down to watch what's going on in Albert Square. Beryl barks when it's over and Wol gets a bit upset too, with a bit of flapping.
She added: "They are inseparable. They love cuddling up and watching television together.
"It won't come as a surprise that they love nature documentaries, but they also like soaps like Coronation Street and Emmerdale."
She added: "I've never known two animals who are so different hit it off quite so well. They just love being around each other."

One Year in 40 Seconds

This is a pretty cool video of a forest changing seasons. The person who did this must have kept a still camera in place and had it take a picture every day or so.

Are you kidding me!!!!

You gotta see this video.....

Dog Steals Bone
Workers at a Murray, Utah, grocery store said surveillance video recorded a dog walking into the store and taking a rawhide bone. Smith's Food & Drug store manager Roger Adamson said the dog entered the store, headed straight for the dog food aisle and picked up the $2.79 bone. Adamson said he confronted the shoplifting animal as it was attempting to leave the store. "I looked at him. I said, 'Drop it!'" Adamson said. "I decided I wanted to keep all my fingers, so I didn't try to take it from him. He looked at me, and I looked at him, and he ran for the door and away he went, right out the front door."

Great Gifts for guys

I could get down with some of these gifts. What the heck every guy loves a good knife!

***SEVEN LAST-MINUTE GIFTS HE'LL LOVE ***

Guys are notorious for waiting until the week before Christmas to buy gifts. But let's be honest . . . women do it too. If you're still looking for something for the man in YOUR life, here are seven last-minute gifts that he'll love . . .

#1.) A POKER SET. Even if he's not a big card player, every guy should have one. You can get a set for under $20, but if you splurge on one with a classy case and properly weighted chips, you'll get to watch him smile even wider.

#2.) A STUB HUB GIFT CERTIFICATE. StubHub.com's a great website that offers discounted tickets to sporting events and concerts all over the country. It's hard to predict WHEN he'll be able to go, but a gift certificate lets him choose what he sees and when. You can get a gift certificate at StubHub.com for anywhere between $25 and $500.

#3.) A SWISS ARMY KNIFE. He probably has an old one sitting in the back of his sock drawer . . . but rest assured . . . it's NOTHING like this. For $80, you can buy him the new "Swiss Flash".

#4.) A HOT-SAUCE-OF-THE-MONTH MEMBERSHIP. For whatever reason, guys LOVE hot sauce. So, if you want to get him something he'll enjoy every day . . . or if you just want to torture him for the next six months . . . SweatNSpice.com can do it for $140.

#5.) A BATH ROBE. It'll keep him warm every time he takes a shower in the morning, but he'd probably never think to buy one for himself. To spice things up, wear it when you give it to him . . . and don't wear anything else underneath.

#6.) ESPN'S "ULTIMATE REMOTE". It's not cheap, but it's also not a normal remote control. For $300, it controls all of his electronics . . . gives him access to updated stats and scores . . . and even lets him browse the Internet.



#7.) THE GODFATHER TRILOGY. It's always a popular gift this time of year . . . and that's because 99% of men LOVE IT. A new version with more perks just came out, and you can buy it basically anywhere.
