Icebergfrom top to bottom


EVER SEE AN ICEBERG FROM TOP TO BOTTOM?
This is awesome!  This came from a Rig Manager for Global Marine Drilling in St. Johns, Newfoundland .  
They actually have to divert the path of these things away from the rig by towing them with ships!
 In this particular case the water was calm, & the sun was almostdirectly overhead so that the diver was able to get into the water.
 Clear water huh?!  They estimated the weight at 300,000,000 tons.  And now we know why they say one picture is worth 1000 words....

................
.....Also now we also know why the Titanic sank!

Socrates & Gossip


The Greek Philosopher Socrates was widely respected for his wisdom. One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance that ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students called Plato?" Wait a moment," Socrates replied.
"Before you tell me I"d like you to pass a little test.
It"s called the Triple Filter Test". "Triple filter?"  The man asked.

That"s right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my student let"s take a moment to filter what you"re going to say.

The first Filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..."

"All right," said Socrates. "So you don"t really know if it"s true or not.
Now let"s try the second filter, the Filter of Goodness.
Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?"

"No, on the contrary..."


"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, even though you"re not certain it"s true?"


The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.
Socrates continued. "You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter - the Filter of usefulness.
Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"

"No, not really..."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True, nor Good, nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?"

The man was defeated and ashamed.
This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.  It also explains why he never found out that Plato was sleeping with his wife.

Husband Store


A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the stores operates.  You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!

There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch….you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building.

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband…………………………….

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.
The second floor sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.
The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead good looking and help with the housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor! This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day
