Boxers "Off The Ring"?

Floyd Mayweather Jr.  has gone weary and tired  in the boxing ring. Not that he is retiring but he wants a fight outside the ring. Street fighting, he cannot  be into. He wants the game in court. Or, rather, he has to face Manny Pacquiao in court for his badmouthing.  This means that Mayweather must have realized he cannot do it with his knuckles so he has to fight with his mouth. What a shame!  See http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/infotech/view/20110323-327097/Pacquiao-to-battle-Mayweatherin-court

And Manny Pacquiao, being the true champion, is not into "mouth-to-mouth" because all the sensible people around him believe he is into "pound-for-pound".

World's Smallest Car?

It seems there's an endless addition of items for the Guinness  Book of  Records. Just for the record, one can think of just about anything and get it published for all the world to see.

I am pasting here the write up and a photo of Perry Watkins' world's smallest car ever.

Perry Watkins‘ “Wind up” mini car was listed in Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s smallest car with license to drive on public streets.




The mini car was reported to have a measurement of 41 inches high, 51 inches long and 26 inches wide.
According to several news sites, Perry Watkinsonly used a coin-operated children’s ride. He repainted the body and repurposed a chassis from a Shanghai Shenke quad bike. The rear tiresand wheels are from a Honda Monkey motorcyle while the front wheels were custom-made.
The world’s smallest car has security belts and can drive 60 kph.
Reports said that the mini car will be shown at the motor show in Essen, Germany startingNovember 27, 2010 until December 5, 2010.

250 Lao Kip= 1 Thai Baht

So what can currency exchange do to a miser in Thailand like me when I go to Laos? A millionnaire! Kip millionnaire, that is.  Since 1 Thai Baht = 250 Laos Kip, I have 1,500,000 kip in my pocket. It's nice for me to know that I have the money....in millions but I pay my hotel room for 75,000 kip for one night!

Zedonk or Donkra?

What do people want to see now? Weird animals?
Here is one that can attract attention. An unusual cross between a donkey and a zebra that can be called "zedonk" or "donkra".
Maybe the next thing that stupid people will do is to cross human with monkeys so they will have "mankeys". Their questions on the missing link might be well explained by their making of "mankeys" when it happens.

School Lunch and Smart Kids

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: 

"Take only ONE. God is watching." 

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. 

A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples.

God is busy watching the apples.

The Whale Did Eat Jonah

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".

The student is sure that the teacher is going to hell.
