A man was driving along a rural road one day when he saw a three legged chicken running down the road. He was amused enough to drive along side it for a while, as he was driving he noticed the chicken was running 30 mph.

Pretty fast chicken, he thought, I wonder just how fast it can run. So he sped up and the chicken did too! They were now moving along the road at 45 mph!

The man in the car sped up again, to his surprise the chicken was still running ahead of him at 60 mph!!!

Suddenly the chicken turned off the road and ran down a long driveway leading to a farmhouse. The man followed the chicken to the house and saw a man in the yard with dozens of three legged chickens. The man in the car called out to the farmer "How did you get all these three legged chickens?"

The farmer replied, "I breed 'em. Ya see it's me, my wife and my son living here and we all like to eat the chicken leg. Since a chicken only has two legs, I started breeding this three legged variety so we could all eat our favorite piece."

"That's amazing!" said the driver "How do they taste?"

"Don't rightly know, I ain't caught one yet!"

This Pearls Before Swine strip is one of the very few comic strips that ever made me laugh out loud.

Some geek jokes:

Two atoms were walking down the street, when one of them says, "Oh, no. I lost an electron."
The second atom says, "Are you sure?"
The first one says, "Yes, I'm positive."

To one who stole my copy of Microsoft Office, I will find out who you are. You have my Word.

I personally hate physics. Black holes totally suck, gravity is a downer and friction is a drag. But plasma is another matter, and interstellar matter is a gas!

Laser physicists never die. They just become incoherent.

An oldie but a goodie (baddie?):

An artist, an architect, and an engineer were having a coffee after work, when the question comes up, "What's better, a wife or a mistress?"

"Clearly a mistress," said the artist. "Passion and spontaneity are the key to happiness!"

"I'd have to say a wife," said the architect. "She's the foundation on which your family is built, and a strong foundation is obviously essential."

"Well," said the engineer, "I'd have to say both. That way, each one will assume your with the other, and meanwhile you're down at the labs getting some work done!"

Maybe the ugliest photo of the year:

The Supreme Leader Comes A-callin'

2. Grandma's terrified out of her mind; generally, the fear increases with age.

3. The clothes are obviously borrowed from the surrounding neighborhood: Uncoordinated and ill-fitting. (And none are oversized: imagine that in the United States.)

4. The smile on the uniform at right, presumably the lesser tyrant charged with finding a photogenic family within in his sector to greet the Supreme Leader, is that of a businessman with cash-flow problems.

5. Only Kim seems truly pleased.

5a. And he's blissed.

Islam grapples with modernity.

But the westerners made it look so easy...!

There but for the clothing, that could have been me on the motorcycle...I ask my kids if I can go out and by a sweet bike. They tell me no.

The sticky situation for the week.
