Please don't forget - Underdog!

"No need to fear,
Underdog is here!"

MR. ED -

Believe it or not, saw him in the list, but forgot to add - JUST DID!

Thought of Rocky & Bullwinkle also, but left them out -
so maybe you can ‘develop’ something for them?

RE; J’NIA FOWLER’S - Insanity Plea -

J'NIA -

Here in the states, I have never understood the 'logic’ of an Insanity Plea -

In my book. it should be - GUILTY - by reason of Insanity - NOT - the NOT GUILTY!

One human entity MURDERS another, perhaps on National Television, viewed by Millions of viewers - like maybe SIRHAN SIRHAN - the Victim is definitely and irreversibly DEAD - we all SAW it happen - there is NO DOUBT - yet some shyster lawyer pleads him as -
NOT GUILTY BY REASON OF TEMPORARY INSANITY ...

IF THERE IS ANYTHING INSANE, IT IS THAT PLEA!

SO - we 'slap them on the knuckles', send them to the 'booby-hatch' for a couple of years - then, ultimately let them out - to
DO IT AGAIN! DUH?

If there was ever a case for Capital Punishment - it is for the PSYCHOPATH!

Could it be simply that all Judges and Lawyers are - INSANE?

EH WOT ??? TK.

If "...life is a Bowl of Cherries..." you are standing by shower time on a coeds dormitory! (LOL)

Cuz EDvard

AHA! The ‘Third Oldest ED Stooge’ finally signed in!

Dear Cuz EDvard - how Wrong yew are! Young Coed ‘Cherries’ are NOT my ‘cup o’ tea’ . age 69 - RATHER -

MORE EXPERIENCED ‘WOMEN OF THE WORLD’ -t’would be my preference! Ladies in their 50’s would be Par Excellence’ - perhaps a feisty Irish Red-head like Maureen O’Hara in ‘The Quiet Man.’

Or a Strawberry Blonde, like Julia Roberts, in ‘Pretty Woman’ - she was ‘HOT - HOT - HOT!’ Next, a Demure Blonde, like Meg Ryan, in ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ - SHE has been an ‘All-Time Favorite’ for Years Now!

Next, in my ‘BOWL’ would be some Exotic Femme Fatales, like: Sophia Loren, a voluptuous Italian ‘Hot-Blooded Amore - and maybe even Honor Blackman, who played a knowledgeable Pilot in ‘Goldfinger’ - ‘Pussy Galore’ - She knew how to ‘Take the Wheel and Drive!’

Next, to throw in a little Oriental Twist, or even Tryst - Lucy Lui - for maybe a dangerous Martial Arts ‘Warm-Up’ - ( side-note - I love to eat Mandarin Oranges ) - and finally, a little ‘Lite Chocolate’ should be added to my ‘Bowl of Cherries’ - Halle Berry, in Bond’s ‘Die Another Day’ ...

This would ‘round out’ my ‘Bowl’ to a Lucky Seven’ - surely, it would probably Kill me - but - What a Lovely Way to Go!

So - Ole Cuz - yew keep yer young college Coeds ... I’ll stick with Experience - Baggage n’ All!

Peace ... El Gato Enormo!

Very clever Tom. Truth; a strange yet lofty goal it is to attempt to discover it. To my way of thinking truth is like deep waters. You can see the surface and you can know it is deep but how deep? One can only discover this by jumping in and exploring its depths. I love the way your mind works Tom.

J’NIA - THANKS!

I HAVE A MIND?
You are too kind!

RE: J’nia’s - “The Square Root” -

J'NIA - WELL SAID, GAL!

My first thought was the Pythagorian Theorem -

"In any given right triangle - the Square of the Hypotenuse is Equal to the Sum of the Squares of the Other two sides."

OR - a2 + b2 = c2 or ... c = the Square Root of a2 + b2.

If'n you get a chance, see my olde poem - "The Beauty of Mathematics" ...

RE: My - “Newton’s Dark Secret - REVIEW ...

3/18/2010
Georg Mateos

The question is: had Newton's apple a worm? if so, how it would have gotten in the way of the law-of-gravity if it had wings?
Just asking...

Cuz EDvard

NO GEORG - NO WORM!

and ... worms do NOT have wings!

also ... IF it had a caterpillar - AND - he/she turned into a Butterfly on the way down - now that's a different story!

wherefore - said butterfly's wings' flaps would be inversely proportional to the mass of the apple -

ergo the butterfly effect would cause a .0000001...
carried out Fifty decimal places slowing effect on the fall.

so that the speed of gravity of 32 feet/per second/per second Might equate to -
.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 -
slower, IF on a Tuesday!

as a corollary though, IF the butterfly happened to be in the KAMIKAZI mode, and dive-bombing, the effect would be 180 degrees the opposite!

yew may use either Euclidian Geometry, or Calculus to calculate the exact figure!

the relationship between Adam's Apple, and Newton's Apple are still being debated by followers of Robert Hook!

RE: Mary E. Lacy’s - “Retirement - a Dream?” -

YEW NAILED IT - HON!

I WAS BORNED ON 8-25-1940 - found out before age 65 that, if I wanted my full 100% EARNED SSA Benefit, had to wait 6 months, or suffer penalty - lower amount!

SO - I picked March 1st (my Dad's Birthday date) - just for fun. Retired then - several months later, after SSA office LOST MY PAPERWORK - found out that HAD I picked Feb. 26th I would have collected another 2 months- you formally file the papers . SSA, but actually continue to work - (kind of like 'Double-Dipping) - SO - I got screwed out of Over $3,000 - because an A-HOLE worker did Not SPLAIN it all properly!

My Lady Friend was born in 1942 - so she had to wait another 10 Months to get full 100%. She DID SO! Retired with SSA benefits coming in - AND IS STILL WORKING FULL TIME! Collects BOTH!

GO EARLY! ASK MANY QUESTIONS EARLY! UNDERSTAND EARLY! BE PREPARED!
