If you could desing a speedo...
What would you want on it?

I'm submitting some designs to a manufacturer later this week to hopefully get a job or internship as a designer, and you as the customer should voice your opinion on what you would like.

"I Believe" vs. "I Know": If You Had To Choose, Which Is Better For Man To Focus On?
If I just took that hour or so on the bus to college in silence like a normal schmuck I might just go a whole day without a new question popping in my head--but who wants THAT? Not me! A couple of people from class and I got into a debate with the whole of the bus, everyone taking sides on the following question: which is stronger/better, to have faith or to know; NOT whether or not God exists, but if He did--would you rather have faith in Him or know he existed, which is better for the soul?

The war in Georgia... what has been happening?
Really? I remember Russia going into it, part or the country formally secede back to the Russian federation, then... nothing. I haven't heard it mention once in the past two years, in the news, or even with normal conversation. The largest country in the world is fighting one of the smallest in the world, what has happened? Is Georgia now under military occupation? Did the Russian leave? Is Georgia a sovereign nation even? how much of it is, and how much is assimilated by Russia?

Replacement France needed - League D2 Game 3
France just missed the spring 1901 moves in Game 3 League D2. They remain in a sensible position and will not lose any builds in the first year.
Is anyone left on the replacement list - or can we just open this to anyone interested? Even better, if it is possible, would be if we could get a time extension for the autumn phase and a forced replacement so that France could at least make autumn moves.

John Lennon Died Today (the last of my Fab Four Serpae Tetra Fish, That Is)
George died a few weeks in, crushed by a Yellow Submarine (close, the pirate ship.)
Paul was hammered and cut to pieces like one of Maxwell's victims a couple months in.
Ringo starved and left for that great Octopus Garden in the Sky a month or so later.
And now, about 8 months after they set out, John was the last of the Serpae Tetra Beatles to die, if you can Imagine that. :/

Price and Value
I get the feeling on here that most of you feel that the price of something is it's value. That is not true! Value is different for different people. Because of my economic situation I may value a new car more or less than someone else. If I'm hungry, I'll value food more. (continued)

A Soviet man is waiting in line to purchase vodka from a liquor store, however due to restrictions imposed by Gorbachev, the line is excessively long, the man loses his nerve and screams "I can't take this waiting in line anymore, I HATE Gorbachev, I am going to the Kremlin right now and I am going to kill him!" After 40 minutes the man returns, and begins elbowing his way back to his place in the vodka queue as the crowd looks on. They begin to ask if he succeeded in killing Gorbachev, to which the man replies: "No, I got to the Kremlin, but the line to kill Gorbachev was far too long, so I decided to come back and wait for my vodka"

Stalin reads his report to the Party Congress. Suddenly someone sneezes. "Who sneezed?" (Silence.) "First row! On your feet! Shoot them!"

"Who sneezed?" (Silence.) "Second row! On your feet! Shoot them!"

"Who sneezed?" (Silence.) ...A dejected voice in the back: "It was me" (Sobs.)

Stalin leans forward: "Bless you, comrade!"

For this joke it is necessary to be aware of the so called "samooblozhenie", or self-taxation.


Q: Will there be KGB in communism?
A: As you know, in communism, the state will be abolished, together with its means of suppression. People will know how to self-arrest themselves.

It is midnight in Petrograd... A night watch spots a shadow trying to sneak by. "Stop! Who goes there? Documents!" The frightened person chaotically shuffles through his pockets and drops a paper. A soldier picks it up and reads slowly, with difficulty: "U.ri.ne A.na.ly.sis"... "Hmm... a foreigner, sounds like...he's probably a spy.... Let's shoot him on the spot!"

Then reads further: "'Proteins: none, Sugars: none, Fats: none...' You are free to go, proletarian comrade! Long live the World revolution!"

Oh Soviet jokes! I love those!
Here is one:

Stalin goes to bed one evening and Lenin appears to him in a dream. Stalin asks Lenin for some help with governing Soviet Union.
Lenin says:
"Round up and shoot every male between the age of 21 & 30 and then paint the Kremlin blue."
Stalin asks:
"Why blue?"
Lenin retorts:
"I knew you would only ask me about the second part!"

My absolute favorite , for Soviet jokes, is this one , however:

A Russian and an American are sentenced to Hell.
The Devil tells them: "OK, you have two options: You can go to an American or Russian hell. In the American one you can do what you want, but you'll have to eat a bucket of shit every morning. The Russian one is the same, but it's two buckets."

The American immediately decides to go to the American Hell. The Russian eventually chooses the Russian one.

In a week or so they meet.
The Russian asks: "So, what's it like out there?"/
The American: "Exactly what the devil said. The Hell itself is OK, but eating a bucket of shit is killing me. And you?"
The Russian replies: "Ah, it feels just like home - either the shit doesn't get delivered or there aren't enough buckets for everyone!"

Plenty of anti-communism jokes but few anti-capitalism jokes so here's one.

Q - "What's the definition of a bayonet?"
A - "A sharp piece of metal with a worker at either end."

Of course, it's not funny, the capitalist machine killing people rarely is.

A Russian, a Frenchman and an Englishman argued about Adam's nationality.

The Frenchman said, "Of course Adam was French. Look how passionately he made love to Eve!"

The Englishman said, "Of course Adam was British. Look how he gave his only apple to the lady, like a real gentleman."

The Russian said, "Of course Adam only could be Russian. Who else, possessing nothing but a sole apple, and walking with a naked ass, still believed he was in a paradise?"

A young girl asks her father, "Why is it so cold in the house?"
"We don't have any coal", he says.
"But why is there no coal?", she wants to know.
"Because I lost my job", he replies.Still unsatisfied, she asks one more time—"And why did you lose your job?"
To which he answers, "Because there is too much coal".

What do a slinky and a Fascist have in common?
Both are useless and it's fun to watch them both falling down the stairs
(this is false, as slinkys can help explain the properties of waves to board high school physics students)

What was the nationality of Adam and Eve?
Russian, of course. Why else would they think they're in paradise when they were homeless, naked and had just one apple between the two of them?

A Russian apparatchik visits a state collective farm, and asks a worker there, "how are the crops?"

"The crops? Wonderful, wonderful!"

"How about potatoes?"

"If you piled up the potatoes, they would reach the foot of God!"

The expression on the apparatchik's face darkens: "This is the USSR; there is no God."

"That's all right, there are no potatoes."

In Tsarist Russia a rabbi is talking to a Russian official.

"A Christian girl was murdered outside the village last night. Soon the goyim will start rounding up all the Jews and chimney sweeps," the rabbi says.

"Why the chimney sweeps?" asks the Russian.

"Why the Jews?"

(this joke was originally, AFAIK, about Domingo Cavallo, Argentinian Minister of Economy in the '90s, but it's easily taken to most politicians and places)

A men parks his car right in front of the Ministry of Economy. A policeman walks up to him and says "Sir, you can't park your car here".

"Why can't I?"

"Because the Minister of Economy is about to come out this way"

"Oh, I see, well, don't worry about it, I have insurance."
@ TGM -- Nothing personal. I would have subtracted points if I didn't like a joke.

Three guys, an Englishman, a Frenchman and a Welshman are out walking along the beach together one day. They come across a lantern and a genie pops out of it. "I will give you each one wish" says the genie.

The Welshman says, "I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Wales." With a blink of the genie's eye, 'FOOM' - the land in Wales was forever made fertile for farming.

The Frenchman was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around France, so that no one can come into our precious country. Again, with a blink of the Genie's eye,'POOF' - there was a huge wall around France.

The Englishman asks, "I'm very curious. Please tell me more about this wall.

The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 150 feet high, 50 feet thick and nothing can get in or out."

The Englishman says, "Fill it up with water."
