Have been reading the paper today after all the health news over the last two years. Apparently ants can detect illnesses and it has been revealed that eating ants also has health benefits.
After all, it's always good to be full of anty bodies.

Ants are vegetarians...eating them is healthy for human beans.

Sorry, but no. Ants are omnivorous, they’ll eat just about anything. And so what? They can still be healthy for yoman beans (I’m sure @Bristle Boy will chime in here :p )

Every night I pray “no ant dreams”.

When I was a child I saw a horrible movie about killer ants invading an African farm.

Now, I have to treble my prayers.

One extra for each of you.

Copied from an email I got:

Southern cops have a way with words!

These are actual comments made by South Carolina Troopers that were taken off their car videos:

1. "You know, stop lights don't come any redder than the one you just went through."

2. "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch after you wear them a while."

3. "If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document."

4. "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."

5. "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that's the speed of the bullet that'll be chasing you."

6. "You don't know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?"

7. "Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I'm the shift supervisor?"

8. "Warning! You want a warning? O.K, I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket."

9. "The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"

10. "Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkey poop."

11. "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven."

12. "In God we trust; all others we run through NCIC." ( National Crime Information Center )

13. "Just how big were those 'two beers' you say you had?"

14. "No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we can."

15. "I'm glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail."

AND THE WINNER IS....

16. "You didn't think we give pretty women tickets? You're right, we don't. Sign here."

I heard there was a big sale on Pi Day. Complex equations were on sale with a discount of 3,1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679 % !
The Link you have posted showing the calculations you used to arrive at that percentage didn't open for me; your figures do seem a little "off pi" to me.
 
Well, nerd and smartass that I was (am?) back in high school I had a trigonometry test that I had an easy time with so I had extra time. There was a question that the expected answer was something like 73.1π. I long handed the multiplication like I was taught back in the 60s using π to 20 digits (which I had memorized -- nerd). I then wrote that there was only one significant decimal digit in 73.1 and so I then rounded the answer down to one also.

Say guys, the term dust bunny is just one Americanism for that fluff often found under beds. There are lots of other names in other regions.

In Danish they are called nullermænd.
In Dutch they are called stofpluizen
Quit being a pedant and straining at gnats, Rick....only I get to do that.😅
BTW, love the link you added!😃

Now it would be 877-5619, the same area code is still in use today
Since moving to our current address we've had three area codes assigned to us and we just learned a half hour ago that we have now been assigned to a new congressional district, our fourth one. Next will likely be our time zone (truly, passed in the Senate but not yet the House) and then after that I suppose we will be reassigned to the southern hemisphere.

Now I know what they mean by "living life on the edge"....as for "taking a walk on the wild side". Which side is that????
The inside.

Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate.
