4D Batteries
The problem of Christmas: no one EVER sends batteries with their Christmas gifts!! I am using Christmas because I am a Christian and celebrate Christmas as my "winter holiday," like 92% of Americans do. This is also why businesses like NTB and Batteries Plus probably make their largest profit on December 26th...
In a completely unrelated department, I an working on my brother's website, The Airport of Idiots, and am constructing a newer, better a2.

Smoker's Delight
Smoker tried to open airliner door
Monday, November 21, 2005; Posted: 11:52 a.m. EST (16:52 GMT)
BRISBANE, Australia (AP) -- A French woman who is terrified of flying admitted in an Australian court Monday that she drunkenly tried to open an airplane door mid-flight to smoke a cigarette.
Sadrine Helene Sellies, 34, was placed on a good behavior bond after pleading guilty in Brisbane Magistrates Court to endangering the safety of an aircraft.
Sellies was traveling on a Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to the east coast city of Brisbane on Saturday when the incident occurred at the start of a three-week Australian vacation with her husband, the court heard.
She walked toward one of the aircraft's emergency exits with an unlit cigarette and a lighter in her hand and began tampering with the door, prosecutors said. However, a flight attendant intervened and took Sellies back to her seat.
Sellies was arrested and charged by police on arrival at Brisbane airport.
Defense lawyer Helen Shilton told the court Sellies was terrified of flying and had taken sleeping tablets with alcohol before takeoff.
Shilton said Sellies has no memory of what happened on the flight and that she has a history of sleepwalking.
Nevertheless, Magistrate Gordon Dean sternly warned the woman: "You must understand, if you are on a plane you must behave yourself."
Sellies, who did not speak in court and was aided by a translator, was placed on a 1,000 Australian dollar (US$734; euro623) bond -- meaning she will have to pay that amount if she commits another offense in the next 12 months.
In other words:
Some French woman named Sadrine Helene Sellies got the nicotine blues. Bad. So bad, in fact, that she opened the emergency door of a flying airplane to get a smoke. Fortunately, for her, and unfortunately for us, she survived the riskiest smoke yet, so there is no telling where she might foul the air next.
Her defense in court on charges of endangering the safety of an aircraft was she was afraid of flying and was in a blackout when she had her perilous smoke. So not only does she smoke whenever she wants, but she does it drunk and on sleeping pills. Humanity is trouble, so please save us, O Lord!
I would like thank Nate Holcomb for telling me about the story and suggesting I submit it to the Darwin Awards.

Michigan Week
(c)2005 Chris Matlak
Q: How many Michigan University freshmen does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None, that's a sophomore course.
Q: Why do all the trees on Ohio lean north?
A: Because Michigan sucks.
Q: How do you get a Michigan grad off your doorstep?
A: Pay him for the pizza.
Q: Why do all the Ohio buildings lean south?
A: Because Michigan blows.
Q: What did the OSU grad say to the Michigan grad?
A: "I'd like a large cheeseburger with extra bacon, a small order of fries, and a medium Coke."
Q: How do you get to the university of Michigan?
A: Go West until you smell it, north until you step in it.
Once upon a time, a Ohio resident and a Michigan resident went to Heaven, and God granted them each one wish. The Michigan resident said "I hate living next to the Ohio so much I want a wall 10 feet thick and 50 feet tall around the entire state of Michigan." God snapped his fingers and POOF! There was a wall 50 feet high and 10 feet thick around the entire state of Michigan. Then it was the Ohio resident's turn for a wish. He said: "Can the wall hold water?" and God replied "Yes, it certainly can." Then the Ohio resident said "Fill that wall with water."
It's a long way to Ann Arbor, so please remember to flush twice.
Any more Michigan jokes? Please post them in the comments.

Vacation Message\Rabbit Pictures Part 2\The First Pov-Ray Post\2 Jokes\Legal Notice\Apology
The zoom on the right is from an earlier version of it (1 or 2 days ago). The floor is squares - I don't know if the noise around
some of the square edges is from JPEG compression or not. These are based upon Pov-Ray's torus demo. Aside: I used JPEG because PNG (my first choice) produced a 900KB~3MB image and BMP (the original format) produced a consistent 3.5MB file for a 1280*1024 image. The JPEG was about 100KB~300KB. END OF ASIDE.
Alright, here are the two jokes - you can replace the town names with whatever, I put Worthington, UA (Upper Arlington), and football in for the purpose of looking better than $town1, $town2, and $sport. Here they are:
Joke 1
Once upon a time, a Worthington resident was working for a UA farmer, and the UA farmer was angry because the Worthington ton football team beat the UA team. The UA farmer was so angry that he asked the Worthington worker how deep a hole was. The farmer (from UA) knew that it was a manure (cow #2) hole and asked the worker (from Worthington) to jump in to see how deep it was. The worker jumps in and shouts up "It's ankle deep!," so the farmer jumps in and it's up to his neck. The farmer yells "I thought it was ankle deep!" The Worthington worker replied "It was; I jumped in headfirst."
Joke 2
A Worthington resident and a UA resident are at a football game. The Worthington resident is behind the UA resident, who is using the urinal in the men's room. The UA resident accidentally drops a penny in and when he's done with his business he dumps a bunch of change in and then grabs it out of the urinal. When asked why he did that, he said "I wouldn't go in for just a penny."
Alright here are the rest of the rabbit pictures :) - part 3 should wrap things up - coming in a week or 2
As you can see, Sarah hopped out of this picture - the one that got away!!

Story!

I've been working on the 0-Zone (at http://cmt20.freewebspace.com/3/) for a while, and I'm updating it now. If you've seen the absense of new content at my main page (at http://home.earthlink.net/~cjmatlak/) it's because the FTP isn't working. When it's updated, I'll post and you can put your comments about the site in the post's comments.

Prince Pi
Once upon a time, there was a frog prince, his name pet was Hoppie his real name is Prince P (pi). He lived in New York, New York. This was in the year 3142. One day he was surfing the net. He went to CeaderPoint.com and clicked on Millennium Force® portal
Then he found himself on top of the Millennium Force. He wondered where p would be, where he was and who he was, because...
…HE FORGOT HIS NAME!
Then he found a gold goose. The gold goose told him to leave and go to China and go “Chin Chang Thong” said prince pi. Then, the golden goose said, “My name is Loopy.”
“What’s my name?” said p
“Let’s sing a song!” said Loopy
“Witch song”
“Ninety-nine Bottles Of Beer on the Wall”
“OK”
“Let’s start now”
“OK”
“Ninety-nine Bottles Of Beer on the Wall
Ninety-nine Bottles Of Beer!
Take one down pass it around
Ninety-eight bottles of beer on the wall
Ninety-eight bottles of beer
Take one down pass it around…”
· · ·
Meanwhile at Loki’s tower…
“The proper way to take control of CeaderPoint.com is to hack!” said Nognor
Loki said, “Totally wrong: the proper way to take over CeaderPoint.com is to send Reponsel to the top of the Millennium Force. I’d give yea 314 joules if your sissy scheme worked, Nognor.”
“I
Jouromgund: “well you will!
Suddenly Odin bursts in!
Odin said, “Let her free”
Nognor Loki and Jouromgund then said “NEVER”
“Then I’ll take her myself”
“You can’t you weakling”
“I’m a god, remember”
“Well so is Loki”
“I’m the greatest”
Boom!
Odin and Reponsel all of a sudden disappeared.
· · ·
Back at Cedar Point:
“…One bottle of beer on the wall
One bottle of beer!
Take one down pass it around
Zero bottles of beer on the wall
Zero bottles of beer!
Take one down pass it around
Negative one bottles of beer on the wall
Negative one bottles of beer!
Take one down pass it around.”
“I can’t say another word,” exclaimed Pi
“Neither can I” remarked Loopy
“Look up there!”
“I thought you couldn’t say another word”
“Just look”
“Whoa! A flying person!”
Crash!
“Who are you?” said Loopy and Pi
“Odin and Reponsel”
“Who is Odin?
“The most powerful Norse god”
“I want to kiss her, I’m a prince” said Pi
“First a challenge to prove you’re a prince” said Odin and Reponsel
Here is an approximate list of tests:
1. Tell us your genoligey
2. Tell why you’re a frog
3. Open C://autoexec.bat file
4. Sing Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall
5. Tell us how to ride a roller coaster
6. Do tests 1,2 and 3
This is only part of the list there is more but if I typed the whole list, it would take a week to tell everything about the tests. I do not know much about because the bright green future oracle gets fuzzy easy. For more info go to L:\stuff.htx
Here is how he did on the tests: His genoligey: Prince Pi son of King Lextop. Why he is a frog: he had genetic mutations. He opened C:\autoecxt.bat no problem. He really did well on the song.
