Mayo Thompson - "Dear Betty Baby". Mayo Thompson grabbed his stetson, his ratty tweed jacket, and he headed to the library. "Hey kitty," he said to the first librarian he found. "Happy Tuesday." "Can I help you?" she said. "You know what it is: show me to the phonebooks." It was 1970 and the librarian showed Mayo Thompson to the phonebooks. He hung up his stetson on the corner of a bookcase and draped his ...

You think my jokes are old! A Greek joke book has been published that dates back to the 4th century AD. Some of the jokes are still around, although they are now told in somewhat different terms. For example, one of the jokes is similar to Monty Python’s Dead Parrot sketch. The 1,600-year-old work entitled “Philogelos: The Laugh Addict,” one of the world’s oldest joke books, features a joke in which a man complains that ...

Les communiqués issus de sommets internationaux sont toujours écrits en chêne massif, et il ne faut pas trop en attendre. Mais il y a quand même de quoi noter que le communiqué issu du G20 est un modèle du genre. Riche en intentions générales (on n'aura pas échappé à la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique et la pauvreté mondiale...), il ne fait finalement que décrire ce qui est déjà fait, insister rituellement sur la nécessité ...

by Amanda Marcotte It’s interesting reading this item (hat tip) after reading Chris Hedges’ book American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America. A roomful of academics erupted in angry boos Tuesday morning after political analyst Michael Barone said journalists trashed Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republicans’ vice presidential nominee, because “she did not abort her Down syndrome baby.”.... “The liberal media attacked Sarah Palin because she did not abort her Down syndrome ...

Когда я первый раз услышал в русском переводе какого-то из фильмов про Джеймса Бонда фразу: “Взболтать, но не смешивать”, я подумал, что ее перевели наоборот. Потому что, очевидно, невозможно две жидкости в одном стакане взболтать, при этом не смешав. И я думал, что он просит как раз смешивать, но не взбалтывать. Однако переводчики продолжали настаивать, и я захотел выяснить истину. Истина выяснилась путем прочтении статьи “Shaken, not stirred” в англоязычной Википедии, найденной по словам “martini ...

High-yield savings accounts are great. They allow you to set aside money in a safe place to earn a respectable return. (That return is low right now, but will increase as the economy improves and interest rates rise.) But did you know you can put your savings on steroids by using a certificate of deposit? Certificates of deposit (often simply called CDs) are time deposits. You give your money to the bank and then promise ...

It's important to set up an emergency fund to begin with (long-term savings)...and if the initial idea is long term without touching it, then what better way than a CD?
