Should this go on the 'State of Climate Science' thread?  I've also seen that image with "how to spot a polymorphed dragon." :-) |

It was mentioned at a meeting today that a recent survey of Americans found that 15 percent believed that there are NO absolute truths. They were absolutely certain of it.  |

WHY SOME ATHLETES DON'T HAVE REGULAR JOBS...
1. Chicago Cubs outfielder Andre Dawson on being a role model:
"I wan' all dem kids to do what I do, to look up to me. I wan' all the kids to copulate me."
2. New Orleans Saint RB George Rogers when asked about the upcoming season:
"I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first.."
3. And, upon hearing Joe Jacobi of the 'Skin's say:
"I'd run over my own mother to win the Super Bowl,"
Matt Millen of the Raiders said:
"To win, I'd run over Joe's Mom, too.”
4. Torrin Polk, University of Houston receiver, on his coach, John Jenkins:
"He treat us like mens. He let us wear earrings."
5. Football commentator and former player Joe Theismann:
"Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."
6. Senior basketball player at the University of Pittsburgh :
"I'm going to graduate on time, no matter how long it takes.."
(Now that is beautiful)
7. Bill Peterson, a Florida State football coach:
"You guys line up alphabetically by height..,"
And, "You guys pair up in groups of three, and then line up in a circle."
8. Boxing promoter Dan Duva on Mike Tyson going to prison:
"Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter? He went to prison for three years, not Princeton ..."
9. Stu Grimson, Chicago Blackhawks left wing, explaining why he keeps a color photo of himself above his locker:
"That's so when I forget how to spell my name, I can still find my clothes."
10. Lou Duva, veteran boxing trainer, on the Spartan training regimen of heavyweight Andrew Golota:
"He's a guy who gets up at six o'clock in the morning, regardless of what time it is."
11. Chuck Nevitt, North Carolina State basketball player, explaining to Coach Jim Valvano why he appeared nervous at practice:
"My sister's expecting a baby, and I don't know if I'm going to be an uncle or an aunt.
(I wonder if his IQ ever hit room temperature in January)
12. Frank Layden, Utah Jazz president, on a former player:
"I asked him, 'Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance or apathy?'
He said, "Coach, I don't know and I don't care."
13. Shelby Metcalf, basketball coach at Texas A&M, recounts what he told a player who received four F's and one D:
"Son looks to me like you're spending too much time on one subject."
14. In the words of NC State great Charles Shackelford:
"I can go to my left or right, I am amphibious."
15. Former Houston Oilers coach Bum Phillips when asked by Bob Costas why he takes his wife on all the road trips, Phillips responded:
"Because she's too ugly to kiss goodbye."
Most, if not all, have college degrees !!

The Desert Heat
A young Arab boy asks his father; What is that strange head piece you are wearing?
The father said: Why, my son, it is a chechia, in the desert it protects our heads from the intense heat of the sun.
And what is this clothing you are wearing asked the boy. This long flowing robe seems so strange.
Oh, my son exclaimed the father It is very simple. This is a djbellah. As I have told you, in the desert it is not only very hot, but the sand is always blowing. My djbellah protects the entire body.
The son then asked; But Father, what about those ugly shoes you have on your feet?
These are babouches, my son, the father replied. You must understand that although the desert sands are very beautiful, they are also extremely hot.
These babouches keep us from burning our feet.
So tell me then, added the boy.
Yes, my son...
Why are you living in Sydney and still wearing all this sh!t?
