An interesting take on the current economic meltdown in the US and other places. Overall I'm inclined to agree. Read it here. Amazing how such "Folk Wisom" is common among the masses, and yet entirely absent amongst government.
Fork through Hand

Sometimes when you're out you'll be called upon to display your mastery of the Force. And if the Force isn't with you at that particular time it can be quite embarassing - which is why it helps to have a few magic tricks up your sleeve. One trick I sometimes do when people want proof that I'm a Jedi is the "Fork through the Hand". To do this trick usually you want to pick a woman and have her try to stick a fork through your hand. You should use a fork because knives can be very sharp and you don't want to risk hurting yourself. Spoons don't impress anybody. When she tries to stick the fork through your hand you don't wince or anything, just use your Jedi powers to pretend you didn't feel a thing. They will be very impressed.
Tip #1: Don't put your hand on the table or against anything when you do this trick. If you do it might hurt a lot.
Tip #2: Don't let a short guy try to put the fork through your hand because they will try to kill you out of jealousy and that might hurt too. It's just the way they are.

2 more mice taken and released into the great outdoors tonight. 1 in the garbage, another in an impromptu mouse-trap I devised from an old egg carton. Every time it's the same. I think I've found the last of them, then in the morning there will be one on the counter and another in the office. Like a disease that I can only struggle to control, but never to beat....
Would you rather I was in Jail?

Sometimes my mother comes downstairs when I'm working and interrupts me. She doesn't understand the whole computer thing and thinks I should get a job. She doesn't appreciate that I'm a very successful real-estate broker in Second Life and thinks that I just sit around playing games all day. Needless to say it can be very distracting having her yell at me that I should get a job when I'm trying to close real estate deals so I've come up with the following Jedi Mind Trick to get rid of her. I say to her "Would you rather I was in Jail?".
This works every time.
