anatomy of a ‘joke’

By Charley Daniels

Set it up:

Man 1: Blood is thicker than water, my friend.

Knock it down:

Man 2: But it doesn’t quench your thirst!

Just gratuitous:

Vampire: I beg to differ!

This is a little disappointing:

Online Dating

It said the only bad words it found were “drugs (2x).” Guess I need to start swearing more, although I’m pretty sure this tool is shit, as a simple search of the site reveals some other strong and awesome language. Also, adult situations. Oh well, it’s still worth trying for at least a PG from here on out, right asshole?

I knew someone in college who had to do a group project on the government of Costa Rica, or something, part of which was a paper. The person who the group decided should write the paper was so dumb that she hit autocorrect in Word and didn’t reread what the computer decided to “correct.” That day, my friend’s group presented a paper titled “Government of Costa Rice.” Let this be a lesson to you school kids out there: If you must have a complete dumbass in your group…. Just try not to have a complete dumbass in your group, okay?

wacky, wild converter

By Charley Daniels

You have to check out Weird Converter. It compares the weight or length/height of unexpected things! For example, I weigh the equivalent of 103.3 human placentas. Well, I assume they mean human placentas. It just says “placenta.” The default is probably human, though, right?

If I were going to teeter-totter with some hockey pucks, it turns out I’d need 413.3 on the other end to balance it out. If an average bowel movement was on the other side of the teeter-totter, he would have to stack 350 of his friends on there to make it even. Human eyeballs? 2,480. It specified “human” for that one.

Oh, you can also convert pounds to kilograms, but I can’t think of a reason why you’d need to do that. Post your comparisons in the comments!

bee, flower

By Charley Daniels

Digital macro on my lowly point-and-shoot (Canon Powershot SD750):

Pun: Bee-U-tiful

Isabelle took this one. I’m too shaky. In the full-size version, you can tell the bee’s gender (FYI: It’s a sterile female, but don’t mention that around her, she gets all depressed).
