A Peacock in the
Land of Penguins
A Peacock in the
Land of Penguins brings new insight to an
important topic – cultivating new ideas instead
of “business as usual”.

Beast Blender
“The Minnesota Association of rogue Taxidermists invites you to
create a being that has never existed. Blend part of an
animal with part of another, and another. The eyes of a
deer may see best on the eyes of an ape. The legs of a cat may
move a fish too. Scale parts to match. Not match or
rotate parts in different directions. A head doesn’t
always have to be up front, at ail not always behind.
Experiment all you want. It’s the artistic turn of form,
or the future of science …”
Love the background music!!
Just in case you are sitting at your computer with
nothing to do – nothing at all …http://www.widro.com/throwpaper.html

Bob
Hope’s self-deprecating humour was one of
his most endearing qualities and one of the
basics of his success. Here is a
little of it, just to make you smile ...
ON TURNING
70: 'You still chase women, but only
downhill.'
ON TURNING 80: 'That's the time of
your life when even your birthday suit needs
pressing.'
ON TURNING 90: 'You
know you're getting old when the candles
cost more than the cake.'
ON TURNING
100: 'I don't feel old. In fact I
don't feel anything until noon. Then it's
time for my nap.'
ON HIS EARLY
CAREER, BOXING: 'I ruined my hands in
the ring...the referee kept stepping on
them.'
ON SAILORS: 'They spend
the first six days of each week sowing their
wild oats, then they go to church on Sunday
and pray for crop failure.'
ON NEVER WINNING AN OSCAR:
'Welcome to the Academy Awards or, as it's
called at my home, 'Passover'.'
ON
GOLF: 'Golf is my profession. Show
business is just to pay the green fees.'
ON PRESIDENTS: 'I have performed for
12 presidents and entertained six.'
ON RECEIVING THE CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL:
'I feel very humble, but I think I have the
strength of character to fight it.'
ON HIS FAMILY'S EARLY POVERTY:
'Four of us slept in the one bed. When it
got cold, mother threw on another brother.'
ON HIS SIX BROTHERS: 'That's how I
learned to dance. Waiting for the
bathroom.'
ON HIS EARLY FAILURES:
' I wouldn't have had anything to eat if it
wasn't for the stuff the audience threw at
me.'
ON GOING TO
HEAVEN: 'I've done benefits for ALL
the religions. I'd hate to blow the
hereafter on a technicality.'
From Bill Bradley--You
know you're living in 2007 when...
1. You get up in the morning and go online before getting
your coffee.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
4. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.
5. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

Which Color Is Darker?
"This is a
wonderful illusion! It was sent to me by one of our fans called
Mike. Believe it or not, the "white" letters are actually darker
than the "black" letters. This effect becomes clear when the
surroundings are removed. You can jump
inside this article to see the proof! This is what Mike
wrote: "Found this magazine, Scientific American Mind, which had
a good article about visual perception. Lots more in the
June/July issue.""

You know the world is
going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a
black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the
America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't
want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named
Bush, Dick, and Colon. Need I say more?

Funny Signs)
I saw two dogs walk over to a parking meter.
One said to the other,
"How do you like that? Pay toilets."
There are two rules for
success in life:
Rule 1: Don't tell people everything you know.

Missing Piece Of Cake Illusion
From the
Mighty Optical Illusions site
"It's
quite simple, and nice if you try and understand it. As you see we
have two photos here. First one gives you impression there is a pie
with
missing piece pictured in it. When you look at the second photo
(which is actually the same one, only rotated), you see only one
last piece of pie. How can it be? It's similar to our
convex/concave illusions from before.
Bumper Snickers you may not have seen. Enjoy!

A nervous wreck.
“Montage-a-google
is a simple web-based app that uses Google's image
search to generate a large gridded montage of images
based on keywords (search terms) entered by the user.
Not only an interesting way of browsing the net, it can
also be used to create desktop pictures or even posters”
Gas prices
are so high that when I pulled into a station and asked for a
dollar's worth, the attendant dabbed some behind my ears.
I have enough
money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something.
With all the
credit cards around these days, the only one who pays cash all the time
is the tooth fairy.
The best things
in life may be free, but the optional accessories really run up the
bill.
One nice thing
about my salary, no one will ever hold me for ransom.
It's called
"take-home pay" because you can't afford to go anywhere else with it!
They say that
money talks; about all it says to most of us is "good-bye."
Intuitor Strikes a Blow for Decency in
Movie Physics!
Technonerds
go to movies strictly for entertainment, and of course, the
most entertaining part comes after the movie when they can
dissect, criticize, and argue the merits of every detail.
However, when supposedly serious scenes totally disregard
the laws of physics in blatantly obvious ways it's enough to
make us retch. The motion picture industry has failed to
police itself against the evils of bad physics. This page is
provided as a public service in hopes of improving this
deplorable matter. The minds of our
children and their ability to master vectors are (shudder)
at stake.
While many movies do fall
short there are example of good one. See
Intuitor's Recommendations for Movies With Good Movie
Physics
Dilbert's Words
of Wisdom
Poor Dilbert (the cartoon character, for any who aren't familiar
with him) has a cynical attitude, but often knows exactly what's going on and
where the truth is buried. Here are a few nuggets of wisdom from the Corporate
World. Enjoy!
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day.
Tomorrow is not looking good either.
I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they
make as they go flying by.
Accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days the
statue.
Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If he isn't there
the first time, chances are you won't be needing him again.
On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape
key.
Don't be irreplaceable -- if you can't be replaced, you can't be
promoted.
After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of
the month than you did before.
When bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never
talking about themselves.
If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit, and remove
all evidence that you tried. No use being a damn fool about it.
You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by
your desk.
If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.
When you don't know what to do, walk fast, carry a clipboard,
and look worried.
