Chicago Bears football practice was delayed

CHICAGO (AP) -- Chicago Bears football practice was delayed nearly two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field. Head coach Lovie Smith immediately suspended practice while police and federal investigators were called to investigate. After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white substance unknown to the players was the goal line.
Practice resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again...

GO COLTS!!!

Tom Brady, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God
was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a
faded Patriot's flag in the window. "This house is yours for eternity,
Tom," said God. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up
here!" Tom felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house.

On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the
corner. It was a 3-story mansion with a Blue & White sidewalk, a 50-foot
tall flagpole with an enormous Colts logo flag, and in every window, a
Colts towel.

Tom looked at God and said "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I
have a question. I was an all-pro QB, I hold many NFL records, and I
even won a few Super bowls."

God said "So what's your point Tom?"

"Well, why does Peyton get a better house than me?"

God chuckled, and said: "Tom, that's not Peyton's house, it's mine."


GO COLTS!!!

American Idol

It's funny to me how some of these people have voices that sound like they gargled with razor blades and whome can't hold a tune in a bucket, with a lid, glued down, nailed down, wrapped in chains, padlocked, vaccum sealed, and wrapped in plastic wrap but STILL have the balls to tell Simon that he doesn't know anything about music. *sigh* Stupid Humans.

Pop-up Potpourri: Chocolate Covered SQL

 

Matt M, there is no dialog there. You see nothing ...

So, what exactly is Google trying to tell Chris Balbontin?

Toby Gray, that's just not fair! How come my chocolate covered raisins never come with any SQL?

Philip Bierhoff thought it was a bit odd that TaxACT would be reminding everyone how overdue their taxes are ...

Sean K. Moran shares this tip from the Most Helpful FAQ Ever ...

I've seen some shady vendors on those comparison shopping sites jack up their shipping costs and low-ball the item price so that it'll appear at the top of the list. As Vickie discovered, that strategy didn't quite work here. Nice try TigerDirect!

Jeeze, Chris, talk about a wide-screen monitor ...

Although Marv found this EULA from World of Warcraft a bit confusing at first, once he broke it down, solved the cipher, decoded it, and read it thoroughly, it made a lot of sense ...

From Michael N, at a price like that, I can't imagine that laptop would be anything but a "top seller" ...

We all know that no one ever wins those "CLICK HERE FOR A FREE XBOX 360" ads, so I'm glad that at least one place is upfront about it (from Rob)...

Kostas Stroggylos hopes they come up with some sort of algorithm to go through those pages. 18 quintillion is a lot of pages to read ...

The irony in this last message (sent in by John) is that it was received via interoffice mail and is a photocopy of a fax of a printed screenshot. The "Send Report" manages to do the same thing, though a bit more efficiently ...

The Perpetual Baby

 

060307-brooke-greenberg-ageless-baby

Brooke Greenberg is an infantile 13-year-old.
She looks like an infant, acts like an infant, and has been this way for the past thirteen years.  Her parents have simply adjusted to the forever baby, as medical science is completely unable to explain her condition.
She’s been through a variety of medical near-misses, including a brain tumor that sprouted and then mysteriously shrank, and multiple warnings from doctors that sent her parents scrambling for a casket and burial outfit, only to have her recover rapidly and inexplicably.
Her parents say that while they initially expected her to die quickly, they now are fully prepared for her to outlive them all.  Her father calls her the Fountain of Youth.
I hope she does outlive them.  The existence of a genuine forever baby would please me greatly.
