The Laugh Thread

What was the name of the "famous American psychologist"? "This is not a trick question."

Probaly 'Fred Flintstone',it just Internet waffle that may be true but more likely BS.

I can see the link thou. once the answer is revealed but it would take a warped mind to go down that road without any hints which is the statement the author is making,i think.

After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, British scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago.

In the weeks that followed, an American Archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, a story appeared in the New York Times: "American archaeologists have found traces of 250-year-old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the British."

One week later the Northern territory news reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in his backyard in Tennant Creek, Billy Bunji, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Billy has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Australia had already gone wireless."


By the way, WiFi is an Australian invention, really, it is.

..........Changed my car horn to gunshot sounds ~ People get out of the way much faster now.
Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers ~ Now they drink like their fathers.
You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone?
That's common sense leaving your body.
I didn't make it to the gym today ~ That makes five years in a row.
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim.
I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators ~ We haven't met yet.
Old age is coming at a really bad time.
When I was a child I thought "Nap Time" was a punishment.
Now, as a grownup, it feels like a small vacation.
The biggest lie I tell myself is, "I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it."
I don't have grey hair; I have "wisdom highlights." I'm just very wise.
If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would've put them on my knees.
Why do I have to press one for English when you're just gonna transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway?
Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice.
At my age "Getting lucky" means walking into a room & remembering what I came in there for.

February is a good month - what do you think?
FINGERS CROSSED!
2016 is a leap year when the woman is supposed to propose marriage to the man.
Feb 2016
This coming February in 2016 cannot come in your life time again. Because this year February has:

4 sundays,
4 mondays,
4 tuesdays,
4 wednesdays,
4 thursdays,
4 Fridays and
4 saturdays.....
This happens once every 823 years. .

Maybe I am missing something here,

this year February has:
4 sundays,
4 mondays,
4 tuesdays,
4 wednesdays,
4 thursdays,
4 Fridays and
4 saturdays.....

True

This happens once every 823 years. .

Bullshit, three out of 4 years February (28 days) has exactly four of each weekday. The other (leap) years have the same plus a fifth occurence of one day of the week.

There are only actually 14 different possible calendars in our Gregorian system and a 28 year repeating cycle where each one repeats at least once. This cycle is upset three out of every four centuries because a year number divisible by 100 is not a leap year except the ones that are divisible by 400!

Years with same calendar as 2016
The year 2016 has 366 days and starts on a Friday
Years with same starting weekday and equal number of days to 2016
Year   Compared to year 2016   Since last
1904   112 years before   
1932   84 years before   + 28 years
1960   56 years before   + 28 years
1988   28 years before   + 28 years
2016   selected year   + 28 years
2044   28 years after   + 28 years
2072   56 years after   + 28 years
2112   96 years after   + 40 years [Turn of non leap year century here.]

geez Jeff,lighten up FFS.

[JeffH]

Maybe I am missing something here,

Please explain the humour in the February tale. I do not get it. It makes what seems to be a serious comment that is patently ridiculess (but not in the least funny).
And what is "FFS"?

[keldaw]

FFS    [ FOR F*** SAKE .]   and I don't swear ...

[JeffH]

Yes, I worked that out after a while. Not an expression I use.
I am just trying to work out the February joke now. Google didn't help me. Best it came up with was "Can February March? No, but April May." Even Uni would come up with something better.

[Basil]

Jeff,its just Internet waffle & ramblings that get sent to me,i just copy & paste,don't take it too seriously.Some of its clever,some of its funny but mostly its just light hearted rubbish.

[triplewitch]

As George Washington once said, "Don't believe everything you read on the internet."
Even that is clearly false because it was Abraham Lincoln who said that.

[Unicorn]

Best it came up with was "Can February March? No, but April May." Even Uni would come up with something better.

:laugh2: .... You give me too much credit Jeff!

How about April, May & June .... marching?  :to_pick_ones_nose_eat:

[JeffH]

Well done; you met the challenge.

[Unicorn]

And what is "FFS"?

Since Basil said it I guess it's

.... For Fox Sake



.... Boom Boom

[JeffH]

Getting even better. :ok:

Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and no wonder,
all the rest eat peanut butter
except for my Grandmother
who rides a bicycle.
