The Blue Men of Morocco might.

Crimson Ghost · 02-28-2006, 02:06 AM

The Blue Man Group does, but no-one cares.

It's a weird story.

A friend of mine was working at a theatre that "TBMG" was appearing at in the '90s. He was a "gopher". (Go fer coffee, go fer food, ect.) He picked up some coffee for these guys, and as it turns out, the coffee cup was the same colors that the cup the makeup mixture was in. One of the guys took a sip from the wrong cup...

Not overly funny, yet interesting.

Or not.

I'm still trying to figure out where the Berbers get Blueberry Warheads in the middle of a desert.

barefoot serpent · 02-28-2006, 10:40 AM

maybe they just can talk a blue streak?

I learned it's a pain in the ass to sell a lot of little things on Ebay. Though I do like buying stuff there.

Ain't that the truth! Some stuff it's just not worth the trouble. (Though you never know--my mom had a set of aluminum tumblers they got as a wedding gift in 1961 and she got me to take a pic & sell it through my ebay account. I'd never in a million years have guess they would get bid up to $92!

Today, I learned that 97% of the earth's water is salty. And 2.8% is fresh and of that 2.8% 75% is ice (glaciers) and of the remaining 25% (of the 2.8%)--oh, damn...something!~ Anyway, I learned that there is precious little water but I also KNOW that human beings have been around for a long freaking time, so, no worries. Plus, Canada is always willing to help us out, right?

I also learned that a Romantic view of life (one I've held onto until just today) is retarded.

wolf · 03-02-2006, 12:44 AM

Retro is totally in.

Today's lesson: There are psychiatrists in the world who are too stupid to be allowed to continue to practice.

wolf: Hello, suicide hotline, how may I help you?*

Dr Stupid: Yes, I need you to send someone out to see this patient of mine

wolf: We don't typically just go "see" someone. Why should we?

Dr. Stupid: Well, she left me a message early this morning telling me she was going to kill herself, and she hasn't responded to any of my phone calls.

wolf: It's 7:00

Dr. Stupid: Yes?

wolf: At Night.

Dr Stupid: So?

wolf: You didn't do anything other than try to call your patient?

Dr Stupid: No, what do you mean?

wolf: Did you call the police?

Dr Stupid: Why would I do that?

wolf: To check and see if your patient is not answering her phone because she is dead.

Dr Stupid: Oh.

wolf: Do you need the number for 911?

* This is the only line not an actual quote from the call. What I really say is "Emergency Service." None of the "how may I help you" crap on the initial answer of a call.

SteveDallas · 03-02-2006, 08:30 AM

Heh. My example isn't as bad as yours (nobody's life is hanging in the balance), but still reminds me of when I was sick over Christmas 1999 (turned out to be pneumonia). On the day after Christmas, which was a Sunday I believe, I had a pain in my ribs so bad I wondered if I had cracked one from all the coughing. So I called up my doctor and told the answering service that I needed to talk to whoever was on call, and they gave me the number for another doctor. So I called that number.

Me: Hi, I need to talk to Dr. X. I'm a patient of Dr. Y.

Service: They're closed now. The office will be open tomorrow. You can call back then.

Me: Well, I was told Dr. X is on call for Dr. Y's practice this weekend. Is that true?

Service: [long pause] Yes, he is.

Me: Well, since he was on call, I thought maybe you could page him for me.

Service: [long pause, obviously to allow this person's view of the universe to be rearranged] Oh, yeah, we can do that.

Don't say anything ina stairwell that you don't want the whole building to hear...

they tend to work like megaphones.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-04-2006, 09:49 AM

During a landing, the speed is gradually reduced from its cruising speed as it descends.
Normally, as the planes pass through 10,000 feet, the speed must be reduced to 250 knots.
By 3000 feet, it is down to 200 knots, 1500 feet, 160 knots and by landing, it should be between 110 to 140 knots depending on the type and weight of the airplane.
