Know this guy?:

or this one?:

On reaching his plane seat a man is surprised to see a parrot
strapped in next to him. He asks the stewardess for a coffee
whereupon the parrot squawks, “And get me a coke, you cow!”

The stewardess, flustered, brings back a coke for the parrot and forgets the coffee.
When this omission is pointed out to her, the parrot drains its glass and bawls “And get me another coke dogface!”

Quite upset, the girl comes back shaking with another coke but still no coffee.

Unaccustomed to such slackness the man tries the parrot’s approach. “I’ve asked you
twice for a coffee! Go and get it now you old goat!”

The next moment both he and the parrot have been wrenched up and thrown out of the emergency exit by two burly stewards.

Plunging downwards the parrot turns to him and says, “For someone who can’t fly, you’ve got some guts!”

Hee, Hee, Hee!

RSA Animate - 21st century enlightenment

Mark Frauenfelder at 1:43 PM Wed 

RSA's Animate videos -- in which a talented illustrator draws images as as a speaker presents a topic -- are incredible. In this one, "Matthew Taylor explores the meaning of 21st century enlightenment, how the idea might help us meet the challenges we face today, and the role that can be played by organisations such as the RSA."

Happy Anniversary!! Coast Guard Celebrates 220th Anniversary

Coast Guard Celebrates 220th Anniversary

August 04, 2010

U.S. Coast Guard

-->

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Coast Guard celebrates 220 years of service to America today.

From its genesis as the Revenue Marine, the Coast Guard has evolved to become the world’s premier multi-mission, maritime service, conducting operations around the globe to execute its 11 missions.

“Coast Guardsmen are agile, adaptable and multi-missioned,” said Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Robert J. Papp Jr. “Born as revenue cuttermen, lighthouse keepers, steamboat inspectors and surfmen, we have expanded to meet the maritime needs of our nation. As Coast Guard men and women, we share a bond of pride in our rich heritage and a common purpose to uphold our honorable traditions.”

ROBOTS IN SPACE!

R2 and the STS-133 Crew
The STS-133 mission is targeted to lift off in November. 

Space historians will note that R2 will thus become the first "humanoid robot" to reach orbit,
as well as the first American-built robot to get to the space station.
