Fun Stuff #2


 

 

Mind Boggles

 

To start .. Read out loud the text inside the triangle below.

More than likely you said, "A bird in the bush," and . . if this IS what YOU said, then you failed to see that the word THE is repeated twice! Go ahead, look again.

Next, let's play with some words. .What do you see?

In black you can read the word GOOD, in white the word EVIL (inside each black letter is a white letter).

Now, what do you see?

You may not see it at first, but the yellow spaces read the word optical, the blue landscape reads the word illusion. Look again! Can you see why this painting is called an optical illusion?

What do you see here?

This one is quite tricky! The word TEACH reflects as LEARN.

Last one. What do you see?

You probably read the word ME in brown, but . . when you look through ME you will see YOU! Do you need to look again?

 

ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST

Count every "F" in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...

(SEE BELOW)

HOW MANY ?



WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke. READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go back and try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.

The reasoning behind is further down.

 

The brain cannot process "OF".

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!! Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius. Three is normal, four is quite rare.

What if we treated our Bible

like we treat our mobiles.

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it as we traveled?
What if we used it in case of an emergency?

This is something to make you go ...hmm...where is my Bible?

Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our mobile, we don't ever have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill!

Winter Exercise

Winter exercises for those of us that are finding it hard to get out.....

Just came across this exercise suggested for seniors, to build muscle strength in the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy, so I thought I'd pass it on. The article suggested doing it three days a week.

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, then relax. Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.

After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks. Then 25-lb potato sacks. Eventually try to get to where you can lift a 50-lb potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I'm almost at this level)

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.

For The Computer Minded

Installing LOVE.

 

Tech Support: Yes...how can I help you?
Customer
: Well, after much consideration, I've decided to install Love. Can you guide me through the process?
Tech Support
: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?
Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready. What do I do first?
Tech Support:  The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart?
Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is it okay to install Love while they are running?
Tech Support: What programs are running?
Customer: Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now.
Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off?
Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?
Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.
Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?
Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.
Customer: Oops! I have an error message already.
It says, "Error - Program not run on external components."  What should I do?
Tech Support:  Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.
Customer: So, what should I do?
Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Self-Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.
Customer: Okay, done.
Tech Support: Now, copy them to the "My Heart" directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories, Empty your Recycle Bin to ensure that it is completely gone and never comes back.
Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?
Tech Support:  Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everyone gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They in turn will share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.
Customer: Thank you, God.

(The only possible answers are "left" or "right.")



Think about it


Still don't know?



Okay, I'll tell you.

A Queensland drover was grazing his herd on the long acre along a remote pasture in outback Queensland when suddenly a brand-new Range Rover emerged from a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in an Armani suit, Gucci shoes, Bolle sunglasses  and Yves St Laurent silk tie, leans out the window and asks the drover, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"

The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not"?

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Nokia cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.


The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg Germany.

Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.

Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says the cowboy. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then the cowboy says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"

The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"

"You're a Parliamentarian from Canberra" says the drover.

"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"

"No guessing required." answered the drover.
 
"You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about cows .................

 

Now give me back my dog."

YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!

  • I'm the life of the party ... even if it lasts until 8 p.m.

  • I'm very good at opening childproof caps ... with a hammer.

  • I'm usually interested in going home before I get to where I am going.

  • I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.

  • I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a thing you're saying.

  • I'm very good at telling stories; over and over and over and over ...

  • I'm aware that other people's grandchildren are not nearly as cute as mine.

  • I'm so cared for ... long term care, eye care, private care, dental care.

  • I'm not really grouchy, I just don't like: traffic, waiting,
    crowds, lawyers, loud music, unruly kids, barking dogs, and a few other things I can't seem to remember right now.

  • I'm sure everything I can't find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.

  • I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.

  • I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.

  • I'm sure they are making adults much younger these days, and when did they let kids become policemen?

  • I'm wondering, if you're only as old as you feel, how could I be alive at 150?

  • And, how can my kids be older than I feel sometimes?

  • I'm a walking storeroom of facts .... I've just lost the key to the storeroom door.

Have an Awesome Day
