One Hat

Three Hats for the Pilots in the sky,
Seven for the Sailors in their hulls of steel,
Nine for Unit Men doomed to die,
One for the sergeant-major on his parade square,
On the demolition range where the land-mines lie.
One Hat to have them fall-in, One Hat to hide them,
One Hat to gather them all and in the darkness confine them
On the demolition range where the land-mines lie.

The video I was talking about yesterday

Seriously, this woman makes me ashamed of being a woman. Never answer straight to the point, long winded. Can't even answer a simple question. Forget what she had said moments ago. I got so lost in the middle of the clip coz I have no idea where she is leading to. http://www.razor.tv/site/servlet/segment/main/news/61150.htm

Lady Gaga by Way of Weird Al

Weird Al originally recorded this song but Lady Gaga declined to allow him to put it into his new album. Luckily she has since rescinded this prohibition and it'll probably not only get into the album but a professional music video. After all, wouldn't you want to watch one rather than just lyrics?

Not surprising why kids today misbehave

How do you expect kids to listen to their parents as Tarzan lives half naked, Cinderella comes back home at midnight, Pinocchio lies all the time Aladdin is the king of thieves, Batman drives at 320KM/h, Sleeping beauty is lazy and Snow white lives with 7 guys. We shouldn’t be surprised if kids misbehave at times! They get this from their own storybooks!

I Have a Tripod!

I found a tripod in my storeroom! Now all I need is a video camera and a willing slav...narrator/presenter and I can start filming my documentary "Waiting For R******"!

Math Jokes...quite lame but enjoy.

1) There are only 10 types of people in the world — those who understand binary, and those who don't.

2)  e^x, sin(x) and cos(x) walk into a bar and ask for a drink. The barman says "I'm not serving you in here.  The function room is upstairs"

When they go to the function room , the party was going really well but sin x noticed that e^x had been sitting in the corner by himself for some time so he translated over and said "What's wrong, e^x ?". The Exponential looked up rather sadly and said "Well, I have tried to integrate but nothing happens; I'm just left by myself".

3) Shared by a male teacher who taught in an all boys school:
In a small, boys only group a while ago, we were going through Pythag. Previously, they could all find the hypotenuse, but kept on adding when they were trying to find one of the others. We talked about WHY, and the overall feeling was that they didn't like calling the sides a, b and c. So I said that they can call them anything they like, as long as they remember which is the longest. We discussed using j,k,l (l=longest) or f,g,h (h=hypotenuse).
They still weren't keen; so I told them that when I was at school I always called the hypotenuse m for mine, and then I could call the other two anything I wanted. "Why sir?" "because no matter whose the other two were, mine was always longest!". They've never got mixed up with them again.
