When I look at this I get an ad for Kosher Condolence Baskets. I love how crass these automatic commercials get.

If you still see ads on the internet might I suggest installing firefox:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
then the add-on, ad block plus
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1865/
and finally the filter updater filterset.g
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1136/

It's well worth the change IMO.

My computer locked up and crashed.

It would be a shame if I had to resort to self-deception to preserve my faith in objective reality.

No un-wanted addy`s here.



But,



....here`s some weird worldly stuff that might be of interest:

In Bahrain , a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals,
but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the
examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror.
(Do they look different reversed?)

Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This
also applies to undertakers. The sex organs of the deceased must be
covered with a brick or piece of wood at all times.
(A brick?)

The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.
(Much worse than "going blind!")

There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the
countryside And deflower young virgins, who pay Them for the
privilege of having sex For the first time
Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to
marry.
(Let's just think for a minute; is there Any job anywhere else in the
world that even comes close to this?)

In Hong Kong , a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her
adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. The
husband's illicit lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any
manner desired.
(Ah! Justice!)

Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool , England - but only in
tropical fish stores.
(But of course!)

In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and
the first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to
witness the act.
(Makes one shudder at the thought.)

In Santa Cruz , Bolivia , it is illegal for a man to have sex with a
woman and her daughter at the same time.
(I presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass this
law?)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
(Who volunteers for this stuff?)

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
(Is that why Flipper was always smiling?)

The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own
weight and Always falls over on its right side When intoxicated.
(From drinking little bottles of???)
(Did the government pay For this research??)

Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Ah, geez.)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.)

Starfish don't have brains.
(I know some people like that, too.)

And, the best for last?
Turtles can breathe through their butts.
(And I thought I had bad Breath in the morning!)




yep. It`s a weird world....

Given the high prevelence of homosexual conduct and masturbation in the animal kingdom, I doubt it.

besides just because they reproduce, doesn't mean that they don't have fun doing it.

You should check out what the ladies in Guam look like before you fill out that application...
