The Origin of Swimming
Swimming was invented in the days of Moses.
Moses led the Israelites across the Red Sea with an army of Egyptians in pursuit.
The sea waters split allowing the fleeing Israelites a safe passage across and the Egyptian soldiers wondering how to follow them.
-
“Wise Pharaoh.” asked one of the officers, “How should we advance?”
“Swim” answered the Pharaoh, impatiently.
“I beg your pardon sir”
“Swim, tell them all to swim”
-
Without further ado the entire Egyptian brigade jumped into the rough sea waters and drowned.
-
“Sire” said the wise adviser to his ruler, “perhaps we should have given them lessons first.”

The Origin of Bureaucracy
A caveman pays a visit to his local counsel
Caveman1: I need to borrow a club.
Caveman Clerk: Are you a member?
Caveman1: sorry I’m new here, a member of what?
Clerk: Of the club.
Caveman1: I’m not sure. Which club are we talking about?
Clerk: The club club. Only members of the club can rent a club.
Caveman1: O.K. how do I become a member.
Clerk: Oh the procedure is very simple. Please fill form A in triplicate and form B in duplicate. You can get the forms over there.
The Caveman looked over at the back wall and saw a pile of stone blocks.
Caveman1: Do you have something to 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 >
30 weirdest world laws

- Thailand: it is illegal to leave your house if you are not wearing underwear. Shame!

5 Men who Failed to Change History
1. Gerald Stonefield, an unemployed Jewish writer from York, thought he had written the play to end plays. A surefire hit. The manager of the Globe Theatre thought otherwise. This may have been due to the fact that a local playwright named Will had recently brought him a similar play that he had named Much Ado About Nothing.
§§§ 2. Along with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden lived a fine lad called Irvine. Eve, an obsessive eater who was already a bit overweight (see Michelangelo’s ceiling for proof), constantly complained to Irvine about her chest pains (He was a More >

Archaeologists prove that the Hobbits and Fred Flinstone actually existed
It is final. Archaeologists have proven that Tolkien was right and there really were Hobbits. ScienceDaily reports researchers from Stony Brook University Medical Center in New York have confirmed that Homo floresiensis is a genuine ancient human species and not a descendant of healthy humans dwarfed by disease. Using statistical analysis on skeletal remains of a well-preserved female specimen, researchers determined the “hobbit” to be a distinct species and not a genetically flawed version of modern humans. In a related article the International Inquirer has stated that irrevocable evidence has been found to back their theory that Fred Flintstone actually existed More >
History’s Less Known Siblings: All about the Contributions to Society made by Marie D ‘Arc, Mervyn Presley, Namdev Gandhi and Moses’ other brother Irvine
Every school kid knows that Joan of Arc was tried and convicted for heresy. What is less known is the fact that Joan had an older sister, Marie, who greatly influenced the French culture and cuisine by inventing what has since become known as Steak Tartar. The story behind her culinary dish has been handed down from generation to generation. While younger sister Joan was being condemned for heresy and taken to the stake to be burned alive in front of the masses, Marie was cooking beaf steaks for her family.
