A little known fact....
The first testicular guard "Cup" was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974....
That means it took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.
Sorry, Hunters!
Roadside display
This is the pull-off at SR 61 and Adamsdale Road in Schuylkill County , Pennsylvania . The deer was hit there and reported to the Game Commission for pick up. The couch was dumped there previously. Local residents couldn't resist. Day two, the deer was on the couch. Day three, the end table and lamp showed up. Day four, the TV and stand showed up.
Finally, a State Trooper stopped and had to call PENN DOT. They had to wait because of all the people stopping to take pictures. The sign, mockingly from the deer, drew a lot of attention.
The cardboard caption in front of the deer on the couch reads, "Sorry Hunters, Obama ruined healthcare. We can't afford to have injured hunters on our conscience. Stayed home. Sorry, the deer."
The Three Pigs
A teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class.
She came to the part of the story where first pig was trying to gather the building materials for his home.
She read. 'And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said: 'Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?'
The teacher paused then asked the class: 'And what do you think the man said?'
One little boy raised his hand and said very matter-of-factly...
'I think the man would have said - 'Well, I'll be fucked!! A talking pig!'
The teacher had to leave the room.

Farmer makes half-mile wide heart from manure
By Tim Engstrom- Albert Lea Tribune
Published Thursday, February 11, 2010
For his wife this Valentine's Day, a farmer has created a half-mile wide arrow-pierced heart recognizable from the sky about 12 miles southwest of Albert Lea.
Following plans he jotted on scratch paper, Bruce Andersland drove his tractor and manure spreader earlier this week in the special shape for his wife, Beth.
On Thursday afternoon, the Tribune was on the telephone with Beth when she had her first look at the aerial image, taken through Minnesota Aviation by Albert Lea pilot Darren Schone.
With a gasp, Beth said, "Now I've got my Valentine! That's pretty cute."
She said it was the biggest and most original Valentine she has received in her life.
Bruce said he had the idea because the square-mile, snow-covered field seemed fitting for something.
"There's such a nice field there. I thought we could just do it for fun," he said.
Bruce began the project Wednesday and finished Thursday.

The heart made of manure is recognizable only from the air. It is in Section 24 of Mansfield Township in Freeborn County.
Beth first discovered he was working on the heart when he emptied his pockets on Wednesday night. She asked him about the scratch paper with the heart pattern on it, and he explained.
"He thinks of cute things to do once in a while, so I was a little surprised," she said.
Beth raises purebred Simmentals on their farm. That makes getting a Valentine made of manure actually a good thing.
"That's just part of farm life. Doing something fun and creative with it makes farming fun," she said.
The heart, she said, would be darker except for the heavy snowfall in the past week that fell in the cattle pens. The snow mixed with the manure, so the spreader ended up spreading manure and snow.

The New Industrial Revolution
In the February 2010 issue of Wired Magazine, there is a cover story on the New Industrial Revolution written by Chris Anderson.
It explains how industries are currently being reinvented and how the little guy has just as much chance to compete and win business as do the massive corporations who were successful during the last millenium.
It's mind blowing stuff for people who want to know where to find the business opportunities of the future!
Here's the accompanying video to the article:
