IAKG, funny thing about OSS/CIA...
As anybody who has bothered knows, the CIA was organized AFTER WWII. However, apparently either no one has bothered to tell the English or someone didn't do their homework.....
There's a sort of radio play on CD I bought, made in the UK (by Big Finish, for those who know) set in 1938, and it's a nice story but completely RUINED by the fact they keep talking about involving the CIA, which didn't even exist! I doubt civilians would have contacted OSS either, so they likely would have been calling in the FBI, which was much more in the public imagination at the time anyway!

It's not as if such things aren't hard to research. The script writer just did NOT bother. And it's far far more of a put-off in an audio-only format than in something audio/visual, in my opinion, because small visual goofs in serious work are often inevitable (masking tape hiding over power outlets in "victorian london" or pac*bell pay phones in Virginia)....

The programming language C was derived from, and based on, a programming language called...


wait for it...

B (authored mainly by Ken Thompson at Bell Labs).

Languages derived from C include Objective C (used by Apple in Mac OS X), C++, and Java.

Prior to standardization by the American National Standards Institute, the most popular "version" of C was "K & R C" where K&R stood for Kernighan and Ritchie, two of the developers of the language at Bell Labs.

In 1951, Topps Chewing Gum, Inc. released its first sets of baseball cards (Topps was LONG considered the king of baseball cards, and in the early 80s did other sets of cards as well (including Return of the Jedi, E.T., Garbage Pail Kids), before the sports card explosion of the mid-late 80s).

There were 104 cards, 52 with red backs, and 52 with blue backs, and were part of a playable game as well as collector's objects.

Rather than gum, they were packed with a caramel candy.

(Info from Topps Baseball Cards, a 35 year history, published in 1985).

The two German episodes are available on VHS (in PAL and NTSC formats) from Guerilla Films (see http://www.guerilla-films.com/mp/fz.htm ) and are on 2 separate DVDs, in two unrelated box sets, in North America, from A&E.

In 1998, a script book, in German, of JUST the two German episodes (from 1971 and 1972) was released. You can get a used copy from amazon.de.

In German Episode one, the announcer at the beginning was the then chief female announcer/presenter of the WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk) TV network (her name is Claudia Doren).

There are several references to Albrecht Dürer (A personal favorite artist of mine). In every case, the year of his death is wrong. The program gives it as 1530. He actually died in 1528.

Thomas Woitkewitch (who produced episode #2) translated the Lumberjack Song into German (the song is sung by Michael Palin, in German, in episode one. To this day he says he could still recite it. It was released on a CD single in Europe in the early 90s, and appears in the Monty Python Song Book). It is the ONLY appearance of any previously written material in either of the two German episodes.

A fire fighter is working on the engine outside the station when
he notices a little girl next door in a little red wagon with little
ladders hung off the side and a garden hose tightly coiled in
the middle. The girl is wearing a fire fighters helmet and has
the wagon tied to a dog and a cat. The fire fighter walks over
to take a closer look.
"That sure is a nice fire truck", the fire fighter says with admiration.
"Thanks", the little girl says.
The fire fighter looks a little closer and notices the girl has
tied the wagon to the dog's collar and to the cat's testicles.
"Little partner," the fire fighter says, "I don't want to tell you
how to run your fire truck, but if you were to tie that rope
around the cat's collar, I think he could pull more."
The little girl replied: "You're probably right, sir, but then I
wouldn't have a siren."

On the first day of college, the Dean addressed the students, pointing out some of the rules:

"The female dormitory will be out-of-bounds for all male students, and the male dormitory to the female students. Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time."

He continued, "Anybody caught breaking this rule the second time will be fined $60. Being caught a third time will cost you a fine of $180. Are there any questions?"

At this point, a male student in the crowd inquired: "How much for a season pass?"

Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her
mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?"

"Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life."

The child thought about this for a moment, then said, "So why is the groom wearing black?"

Little Johnny is passing his parents' bedroom in the middle of the night, in search of a glass of water. Hearing a lot of moaning and thumping, he peeks in and catches his folks in The Act. Before dad can even react, Little Johnny exclaims "Oh, boy! Horsey ride! Daddy, can I ride on your back?"

Daddy, relieved that Johnny's not asking more uncomfortable questions, and seeing the opportunity not to break his stride, agrees. Johnny hops on and daddy starts going to town. Pretty soon mommy starts moaning and gasping.

Johnny cries out "Hang on tight, Daddy! This is the part where me and the milkman usually get bucked off!"

[MilkToast]

Little Johnny came running into the house and asked, "Mommy, can little girls have babies?"

"No," said his Mom, "of course not."

Little Johnny then ran back outside and his Mom heard him yell to

Little Johnny was sitting in class one day. All of the sudden, he needed to go to the bathroom. He yelled out, "Miss Jones, I need to take a piss!!"

The teacher replied, "Now, Johnny, that is NOT the proper word to use in this situation. The correct word you want to use is 'urinate.' Please use the word 'urinate' in a sentence correctly, and I will allow you to go."

Little Johnny thinks for a bit, then says, "You're an eight, but if you had bigger tits, you'd be a ten!!!"

One day, during a lesson on proper grammar, the teacher asked for a show of hands for who could use the word "beautiful" in the same sentence twice.

First, she called on little Suzy, who responded with, "My father bought my mother a beautiful dress and she looked beautiful in it."

"Very good, Suzy," replied the teacher. She then called on little Michael.

"My mommy planned a beautiful banquet and it turned out beautifully," he said.

"Excellent, Michael!"

Then, the teacher called on little Johnny. "Last night, at the dinner table, my sister told my father that she was pregnant, and he said 'Beautiful, fucking beautiful!'"

A few months after his parents were divorced, little Johnny passed by his mom's bedroom and saw her rubbing her body and moaning, "I need a man, I need a man!"

Over the next couple of months, he saw her doing this several times. One day, he came home from school and heard her moaning. When he peeked into her bedroom, he saw a man on top of her.

Little Johnny ran into his room, took off his clothes, threw himself on his bed, started stroking himself, and moaning, "Ohh, I need a bike! I need a bike!"

Little Johnny, on a day when he was being particularly reckless, was playing in the backyard one morning. Soon, some honeybees started swirling around, annoying little Johnny. He began stomping on them in his temper. His father caught him trampling the honeybees, and after a brief moment of thought said, "That's it! No honey for you for one month!"

Later that afternoon, Johnny pondered upon some butterflies, and
soon started catching them and crushing them under his feet. His father again caught him, and after a brief moment of thought, said, "No butter for you for one month!"

Early that evening, Johnny's mother was cooking dinner, and got
jumpy when cockroaches started scurrying around the kitchen floor. She began stomping on them one by one until all the cockroaches were dead.

Johnny's mother looked up to find Johnny and his father standing there watching her. To which Johnny said, "Are you going to tell her, daddy, or do you want me to?"

A teacher cautiously approaches the subject of sex education with
her fourth grade class because she realizes Little Johnny's propensity for sexual innuendo. But Johnny remains attentive throughout the entire lecture. Finally, towards the end of the lesson, the teacher asks for examples of sex education from the class. One little boy raises his hand, "I saw a bird in her nest with some eggs."

"Very good, William," said the teacher.

"My mommy had a baby," said little Esther. "Oh, that's nice,"
replied the teacher.

Finally, little Johnny raises his hand. With much fear and trepidation, the teacher calls on him.

"I was watchin' TV yesterday, and I saw the Lone Ranger. He was surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of Indians. And they all attacked at one time. And he killed every one of them with his two guns."

The teacher was relieved but puzzled, "And what does that have to do with sex education, Johnny?"

"It'll teach those Indians not to f*** with the Lone Ranger,"

Little Johnny came home from school to see the families pet rooster dead in the front yard. Rigormortis had set in and it was flat on its back with its legs in the air.

When his Dad came home Johnny said, "Dad our roosters dead and his legs are sticking in the air. Why is his legs sticking in the air?"

His father thinking quickly said, "Son, that's so God can reach down from the clouds and lift the rooster straight up to heaven."

"Gee Dad that's great," said little Johnny.

A few days later, when Dad came home from work, Johnny rushed out to meet him yelling, "Dad, Dad we almost lost Mom today!"

"What do you mean?" said Dad.

"Well Dad, I got home from school early today and went up to your bedroom and there was Mom flat on her back with her legs in the air screaming, Jesus I'm coming, I'm coming, and if it hadn't of been for Uncle George holding her down we'd have lost her for sure!"

Every night, Joe would go down to the liquor store, get a six pack, bring it home, and drink it while he watched TV. One night, as he finished his last beer, the doorbell rank. He stumbled to the door and found a six-foot cockroach standing there. The bug grabbed him by the collar and threw him across the room, then left.

The next night, after he finished his 4th beer, the doorbell rang. He walked slowly to the door and found the same six-foot cockroach standing there. The big bug punched him in the stomach, then left.

The next night, after he finished his 1st beer, the doorbell rang again. The same six-foot cockroach was standing there. This time, he was kneed in the groin and hit behind the ear as he doubled over in pain. Then the big bug left.

The fourth night Joe didn't drink at all. The doorbell rang. The cockroach was standing there. The bug beat the snot out of Joe and left him in a heap on the living room floor.

The following day, Joe went to see his doctor. He explained the events of the preceding four nights. "What can I do?" he pleaded.

"Not much" the doctor replied. "There's just a nasty bug going around."

{Whilst this is credited to Neil Armstrong, it is not actually true (http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blgorsky.htm), it is, however, pretty funny.}

When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" statement but followed it by several remarks, usual com traffic between him, the other astronauts and Mission Control.

Just before he re-entered the lander, however, he made the enigmatic remark "Good luck Mr. Gorsky." Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck Mr. Gorsky" statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled.

Just last year, (on July 5, 1995 in Tampa Bay FL) while answering
questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had finally died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.

When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with a friend in the
backyard. His friend hit a fly ball which landed in the front of his
neighbor's bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky. As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky. "Oral sex? You want oral sex?! You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"

Three mice are sitting at a bar in a pretty rough neighborhood late at night trying to impress each other about how tough they are.

The first mouse pounds a shot of scotch, slams the glass onto the bar, turns to the second mouse and says, "When I see a mousetrap, I lie on my back and set it off with my foot. When the bar comes down, I catch it in my teeth, bench press it twenty times to work up an appetite, and then make off with the cheese.

The second mouse orders up two shots of sour mash, pounds them both, slams each glass into the bar, turns to the first mouse, and replies: "Yeah, well when I see rat poison, I collect as much as I can, take it home, grind it up to a powder, and add it to my coffee each morning so I can get a good buzz going for the rest of the day.

The first mouse and the second mouse then turn to the third mouse. The third mouse lets out a long sigh and says to the first two, "I don't have time for this bullshit. I gotta go home and f*** the cat. "

A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have dinner with her parents. Since this is such a big event, the girl announces to her boyfriend that after dinner, she would like to go out and make love for the first time.

Well, the boy is ecstatic, but he has never had sex before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get some condoms. The pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about condoms and sex.

At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many condoms he'd like to buy, a 3-pack, 10-pack or family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be rather busy, it being his first time and all.

That night, the boy shows up at the girl's parents' house and meets his girlfriend at the door. "Oh I'm so excited for you to meet my parents, come on in!" The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl's parents are seated.

The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head. A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in prayer, with his head down. Ten minutes pass, and still no movement from the boy. Finally, after twenty minutes with his head down, the girlfriend finally leans over and whispers to the boyfriend, "I had no idea you were this religious."

The boy turns, and whispers back, "I had no idea your father was a pharmacist."

The mafia was looking for a new man to make weekly collections from all the private businesses that they were 'protecting'. Feeling the heat from the police force, they decide to use a deaf and dumb person for this job; if he were to get caught, he wouldn't be able to communicate to the police what he was doing.

Well, on his first week, the deaf collector picks up over $50,000. He gets greedy, decides to keep the money and stashes it in a safe place. The mafia soon realizes that their collection is late, and sends some of their hoods after the deaf collector.

The hoods find the deaf collector and ask him where the money is. The deaf collector can't communicate with them, so the mafia drags the guy to an interpreter.

The mafia hood says to the interpreter, "Ask him where da money is." The interpreter signs, "Where's da money?"

The deaf signs, "I don't know what you're talking about."

The interpreter tells the hood,"He says he doesn't know what you're talking about"

The hood pulls out a .38 and places it in the ear of the deaf collector. "NOW ask him where the money is."

The interpreter signs, "Where is the money?"

The deaf signs, "The $50,000 is in the tree stump in the north east part of Central Park near the pond."

The interpreter looks to the hood and says, "He says he still doesn't know what you're talking about, and doesn't think you have the balls to pull the trigger."

{one of my all time favorites...}

There were three Eskimos in a local Alaskan bar, talking about how cold it was outside, and how cold their igloos were. They could agree on everything but whose igloo was the coldest, so they decided to determine who, indeed, had the coldest igloo.

At the first Eskimo's igloo, he said, "Watch this!" He poured a cup of water into the air. The water froze in midair and fell onto the floor. "Not bad," agreed the other Eskimos, but each maintained their igloo was colder still.

At the second Eskimo's igloo, he said, "Watch this!" He took a big breath and exhaled, whereupon his breath froze into a big lump and fell to the floor. "Wow, that's colder than mine!" said the first Eskimo. But the third Eskimo exclaimed his was colder still.

At the third Eskimo's igloo, he said, "Watch this!" He went into the bedroom, threw back the thick furs, and retrieved one of several small balls of ice there. Putting it in a spoon, and held a match under it. When it was sufficiently heated, it went "FFFAAAARRRRTTT".

He won.

Feeling Stressed Out?

Picture yourself near a stream.

Birds are softly chirpingin the crisp cool mountain air.

Nothing can bother you here.

No one knows this secret place.

You are in total seclusion from that place called "the world."

The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.

The water is clear.

You can easily make out the face of the person whose head you're holding under the water.

Look. It's the person who caused you all this stress in the first place.

What a pleasant surprise.

You let them up...

{a classic} 1470

When the Lord made Man, all the parts of the body argued over who would be the Boss.

The Brain explained that since he controlled all the parts of the body, he should be Boss.

The Legs argued that since they took the Man wherever he wanted to go, he should be the Boss.

The Stomach countered with the explanation that since he digested all the food, he should be the boss.

The Eyes said that without them, Man would be helpless, so they should be Boss.

Then the Ass Hole applied for the Job. The other parts of the body laughed so hard that the ass hole became mad and closed up.

After a few days the Brain went foggy, the Legs got wobbly, the Stomach got ill, the Eyes got crossed and were unable to see.

They all finally conceded and made the Ass Hole Boss.

This proves you don't have to be a Brain to be the Boss...Just an Ass Hole.

Here's one I heard during a trip to Arkansas once. I'd have to confirm it, but it sounds reasonable.

If you look at the left (western) edge of the state, you'll notice there's a diagonal part, and then a jog where it goes more or less vertical.
While mapping out the state, the surveyors were OFF on the western boundary (I can't say I remember why, now), but rather than go back and correct it, they just paid off a few of the Native American tribes for the encroachment into "Indian Territory." Otherwise the western edge should have been one straight, continuous latitude line.

While many Americans are aware that the Susan B Anthony was the first time a historical American woman appeared on a US coin (previous appearances of women on US coinage were just as "mythological" figures), there were actually FOUR years the coin was minted.
1979, 1980, 1981 and 1999.
A new batch had to be rushed through the mint in 1999, because, while the dollar coin has NOT been very popular in recent years, it IS used in certain vending machines, and the supply of older SBA dollar coins was running out. The law for the new Sacajawea dollars could NOT take effect until 2000 (and I'm not sure the dies for making the new coins were ready anyhow).

Also, if you go to www.usmint.gov and read about the 50 state quarter program, you'll find out the initial proposal was for 50 state DOLLAR COINS, with the different reverses on the SBA dollar, not the Washington Quarter Dollar! This was amended in later versions of the legislation.

...2003 is the mid-year of the program, started in 1999. By the end of 2003, with the Arkansas state quarter, 25 of the 50 states will have had their own quarters minted.

Note of course that for the southern states, only the dates of original admission to the union are being used, not dates of post-civil war readmission.

The last year of the program is 2008, provided that no NEW states are added to the union in those remaining 5 years (which is highly unlikely).

And Whittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nieizsche couldn't teach 'ya 'bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
John Stewart Mill, of his own free will, after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away, 'alf a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
And Hobbes was fond of his Dram.

Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake.

But don't take it out in public or they'll stick you in the dock,
And you won't a-come a-back.
