Quote of the Week 5/28

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Abraham Lincoln November 19, 1863

Prom

Well it's prom season again and predictably a male student has decided to wear a dress to prom and then is outraged when they get exactly the response they were fishing for.

"I have no formal pictures, no memories, nothing. You only have one prom," he said. (link)

Well Kevin you do have fame, too bad you used your 15 minutes for this.

And thank you for shoving your homosexuality in my face.

Artist

I may be somewhat biased but clearly my son, Noah, is a genius. Being that he is the only 4 year old I really know I have no others to compare him with. It seems to me that this drawing is not typical (nor is the SpongeBob picture currently on my refrigerator).

Happy Mother's Day

Hungary workers get shock at bottom of rum barrel

Hungarian builders who drank their way to the bottom of a huge barrel of rum while renovating a house got a nasty surprise when a pickled corpse tumbled out of the empty barrel, a police magazine website reported.

According to online magazine www.zsaru.hu, workers in Szeged in the south of Hungary tried to move the barrel after they had drained it, only to find it was surprisingly heavy and were shocked when the body of a naked man fell out.
The website said that the body of the man had been shipped back from Jamaica 20 years ago by his wife in the barrel of rum in order to avoid the cost and paperwork of an official return.

According to the website, workers said the rum in the 300-liter barrel had a "special taste" so they even decanted a few bottles of the liquor to take home.

The wife has since died and the man was buried in a proper grave. (link)
