It was five past 13 For the second time since Tuesday And it happened on the 32nd of the month. The new calendar seemed crazy To both the hard working and the lazy In fact the only lady who didn't panic was a monk. After thirteen weeks of rain The Pope declaired a change When he received no explanation from above. He blamed a list of earthly pleasures, For the need to take such measures To safeguard his holy treasures from a flood. It's really hard to wake at dawn When your leader's been reborn And at 13 o'clock More > 
Sumo Wrestling – It’s over before you can say the competitor’s name

Sumo wrestling must be one of the fastest sports in the world. Not in the way it is played – squash is a much more obvious choice, but in the time the fight actually takes – a long one might last up to 30 seconds. This can make it hard for western sport commentators to deal with. A few facts before I proceed:
The two contestants, known as rikishi, wear a silken loincloth called the mawashi and colorful silk glue enforced strings that bounce up and down. More happens in the minutes of preparation than in the fight itself. The More >

Warning Bell
He was on his fifth martini, Aiming for a strike. Driving not an option He should have brought a bike. He sat alone in the corner He slept alone in his bed "I'm waiting for tomorrow morn" Was the only thing he said. Just another of God's children Created by mistake Should have been pulled from the conveyer belt Before it was too late. If only they'd let someone know That he was really not so well. But when they rang the warning bell There was no-one left to tell. She wore her smile a million times For the millions More >
Tokyo on a Budget – you never had it so cheap!
Tokyo is often considered one of the most expensive cities in the world, but for those in the know there are many ways to have a great vacation without burning too big a hole in your pocket.
Here are a few suggestions for saving some Yen.
100 yen stores You’ve seen them all over the world – dollar stores, pound stores, but believe me you haven’t seen anything until you visit a 100 yen store. The Japanese believe in quality and this goes for the 100 yen stores too, so they have got it down to a real art. The 100 yen stores More >
The History of Conversation
As is common knowledge, conversation first started way back in the era of the cavemen when Bog, a medium height, bearded, long haired, overweight man with a pot belly, accidentally stood on the blistered toe of Gog, a medium height, bearded, long haired, skinny man with an attitude.
“Yoh,” exclaimed Gog, “You just stood on my bad toe?”
“Yoh, your mother-in-law,” replied Bog, “And what you gonna do about it?”
Needless to say this conversation was very short as Gog, knowing his place, ran out of the cave, swearing all the way and was eaten alive by an extinct dinosaur.
Conversation more or less carried More >

In Switzerland they are trying to get the numbers for an ‘Anti-Powerpoint Party’ to stand in the October 2011 elections. The founder of the party, Matthias Poehm says that €350 billion could be saved each year simply by banning PowerPoint from public speaking. They are trying to get 10,000 Swiss citizens to sign up and permit the party to stand for the election. The web site is full of statistics and an alternative to PowerPoint. One interesting page is the horror slides which include the now famous More >
The Song Behind the Meaning
An ageing rock star, whom I shall call Rick, was having a hard time finding subjects to write about for his new album. When he was a poor artist struggling for recognition, the whole pale world around him was his palette. Now fame riches and far too much booze had left him lacking. Sitting on the bank of the stream at the edge of his garden estate he tried to find something to write about. A frog jumped out from behind him, giving him a stir. The frog seemed equally shocked and jumped away in a hurry, disappearing into the More >
Anger Management
A while ago I wrote a couple of posts about stress management. Recently I received the following story in the mail that had been lifted from the web. Although I can’t find the origin of this story, it is too good not to share. If you know who wrote it, please inform me and I will give proper credit.
When you occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to take it out on someone, don't take it out on someone you know, take it out on someone you don't know, But you know deserves it. I was sitting More >
