Liebl~~~ >Christopher Columbus Biography Columbus was born in Italy in 1451, but he spent most of his life in Portugal and in Spain. It was King Ferdinand of Spain who in 1492 financed his explorations to America in the ships: Santa Maria, Pinta and Nina. Columbus returned to Spain the next year, and later undertook a second expedition to the Caribbean. He died at Valladolid, Spain in 1506. Here's some SMILES: Q: Where did Columbus first land in America? A: On his feet! Columbus’ Father: I don’t care what you’ve discovered, Christopher. You could have written. The teacher stood at the front of the room. “Does anybody know what this Monday is?” About half of the students raised their hands. The teacher pointed to one of them. “It’s Columbus Day!” he crowed. The teacher smiled. “It is. Does anybody know why we celebrate it?” This time, only one student raised her hand. “It’s the day the Indians discovered Columbus!” Q: How was Columbus’s ship like an avid shopper? A: They’re both driven by sales! The teacher was telling the story of Christopher Columbus and how many thought that the world was flat. Then she had mentioned that the world was really round and got interrupted, “Miss Smith, the world is square, not round,” said Johnny. “No, it’s round Johnny. Who told you it was square?” replied the teacher. “My older brother. He claims he’s been to all 4 corners of the earth.” Q: What happened when Columbus was shot at by an Indian? A: He had an arrow miss. Q: Why did the hungry Columbus eat the last candle? A: He wanted a light snack. . . :"-. .-"; |:`.`.__..__.'.';| || :-" "-; || :; :; / .==. .==. \ : _.--._ ; ; .--.' `--' `.--. : : __;` ':__ ; ; ' '-._:;_.-' ' : '. `--' .' ."-._ _.-". .'

Q: What would you get if you crossed Columbus Day with Halloween? A: Ghoulumbus Day! Q: What’s the difference between one of Columbus’s sailors and a monster? A: One left his Spain behind and the other left his brain behind! Columbus went around the world in 1492. That isn’t a lot of strokes when you consider the course. America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up. -- Oscar Wilde Whether or not he INTENDED to discover America is irrelevant. The fact is, he did it. And because of the awesome marketing and spin control of Mr. Columbus, he's got all sorts of places named after him! He's honored with: the nation of Colombia, U.S. capital the District of Columbia, and maybe the most prestigious honor of all -- the city of Columbus, Ohio. So on Columbus Day we pay homage to a fearless explorer who accidentally discovered a New World full of abundant natural resources.

Once I was pressed into going to the pet store to buy Slinky's dinner. The worst part of this wasn't choosing the juiciest-looking creatures or turning down the clerk who wanted to sell me vitamins to ensure their longevity. The hardest part was carrying the poor things out in a box bearing the words "Thank you for giving me a home." -<>- >Contentment There was a father who was known by his family to be a chronic growler. He complained about everything. He was sitting one day with his family in the presence of a guest in the living room when the subject of food came up. One of the children, a little girl, was telling the guest what food each member of the family liked best. Finally, it came to the father's turn to be described. "And what do I like, Nancy?" he asked. "You," said the little girl slowly, "well, what you like most is anything we haven't got." -<>- >How High Can You Count? A father and son were riding in their truck together one day and the son asked the father, "Dad, how high can you count?" The father replied, "Well, I don't know, son -- how high can you count?" The son immediately replied, "One thousand, five hundred, forty -two." The father said, "Why did you stop?" The son shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, church was over." -<>- >Cutting Class? A teacher was reprimanding a teenager in the hall. "Do you mind telling me whose class you're cutting this time?"

"It's English class, isn't it?" replied the smiling teacher. -<>- >Belated Wedding Gift My wife and I received an ice cream maker as a wedding gift ... five years after our wedding. In an attempt to cover his procrastination with humor, the friend who sent it included a note: "I wanted to make sure the marriage would last." My wife wasn't amused, but she realized that the present deserved a thank-you note anyway. Which she dutifully sent. Five years later.

Mom recognized the name of a war correspondent mentioned in the textbook and blurted out, "I used to go out with him!" Peering up from his work, another wide-eyed student asked, "You dated someone from our history book?" -------- A busy working mom, I try to pack in as many errands on my lunch break as possible. One noontime I raced to get a chest X-ray at the hospital, then went to the cleaners and finally, the supermarket. When I returned to the office, I noticed strange looks from my co-workers. Eventually one of them inquired what I did during lunch and, after explaining the hectic hour, I asked, "Why do you want to know?" "Well," he said, "your blouse is inside out." ------- NASA is launching a rocket to the moon. On board there are two pigs and Kiki, a stunning blond. When the rocket is outside the stratosphere, the first stage drops off. Contact is made: "Houston here, Pig 1, Pig 1, do you read us? Over." "Oink, oink, here Pig 1, read you loud and clear" "Pig 1, do you still know your instructions?" "Yes, when we get to the moon, I press the red button to initiate the moon landing. Over." "That's right. Over and out." They go on until the rocket separates its booster stage. "Hello, Pig 2? Come in please." "Oink, oink, here Pig 2, read you loud and clear." "OK, Pig 2 do you remember your instructions?" "Yes, when we've landed on the moon and are ready to leave, I press on the green button to initiate the launch program." "That's right, Pig 2. Over and out." An hour later when the rocket has achieved the correct speed the last stage drops off as planned. Ground control contacts the astronauts again. "Houston here, Kiki, come in. Kiki do you read us?" "Kiki here, reading you loud and clear." "Kiki, do you remember your instructions?" "Yes," Kiki says, "I feed the two pigs and keep my hands off the buttons. -------- As soon as she had finished convent school, a bright young girl named Lena shook the dust of Ireland off her shoes and made her way to New York where before long, she became a successful performer in show business. Eventually she returned to her home town for a visit and on a Saturday night went to confession in the church, which she had always attended as a child. In the confessional Father Sullivan recognized her and began asking her about her work. She explained that she was an acrobatic dancer, and he wanted to know what that meant. She said she would be happy to show him the kind of thing she did on stage. She stepped out of the confessional and within sight of Father Sullivan, she went into a series of cartwheels, leaping splits, handsprings and back flips. Kneeling near the confessional, waiting their turn, were two middle-aged ladies. They witnessed Lena's acrobatics with wide eyes, and one said to the other: "Will you just look at the penance Father Sullivan is givin' out this night, and me without me bloomers on!" ------- In church last Sunday, I heard a sweet elderly lady in the pew next to me saying a prayer. It was so innocent and sincere that I just had to share it with you: "Dear Lord: The last four to five years have been very tough. You have taken my favorite actor - Paul Newman; my favorite actress - Elizabeth Taylor; my favorite singer - Whitney Houston, and now my favorite author -Tom Clancy. I just wanted you to know that my favorite politicians are - Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Amen" ------- A 5-year-old boy was playing with his toy cars on the floor next to his bed. He suddenly noticed all the dust under his bed and screamed for his mother. His mother rushed to his room to find her son sitting on the floor with a very puzzled look on his face. Mother: "What's wrong?" Son: "Remember today in church when the preacher said we all came from dust and are going back to dust?" Mother: "Yes" Son: "Well, there's someone under my bed but I don't know if they're coming or going." -------- I always do my exercises regularly in the morning. Immediately after waking I sternly say to myself, "Ready, now. Up. Down. Up. Down."

Then just before going to bed, take the red pill with another glass of water." Man: "Exactly what's my problem, doc?" Doctor: "You're not drinking enough water." -------- A guy is going on an ocean cruise, and he tells his doctor that he's worried about getting seasick. The doctor suggests, ''Eat two pounds of stewed tomatoes before you leave the dock.'' The guy replies, ''Would that keep me from getting sick, Doc?'' The doctor says, ''No, but it'll look real pretty in the water.'' ------- CNN reported today that Walt Disney's new film called "Jet Black," the African-American version of "Snow White" has been canceled. All of the 7 dwarfs: Dealer, Stealer, Mugger, Forger, Drive By, Homeboy, and Shank have refused to sing "Hi Ho" because they say it offends their black ladies of the evening. They also say they have no intention of singing, "It's off to work we go." ------- A very shy guy goes into a bar and sees a beautiful woman sitting at the other end. After an hour of gathering up his courage he finally goes over to her and asks, tentatively, "Um, would you mind if I chatted with you for a while?" To which she responds by yelling, at the top of her lungs, "No, I won't sleep with you tonight!" By now, the entire bar is staring at them. Naturally, the guy is hopelessly and completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his table. After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and apologizes. She smiles at him and says, "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. You see, I'm a graduate student in psychology and I'm studying how people respond to embarrassing situations." To which he responds, at the top of his lungs, "What do you mean $200!" -------- Two blonde dudes Scott and Glenn were working on a house. While nailing down siding Glenn would reach into his nail pouch, pull out a nail and either toss it over his shoulder or nail it in. Scott, figuring this was worth looking into, asked, "Why are you throwing those nails away?" Glenn explained, "If I pull a nail out of my pouch and it's pointed toward me, I throw it away 'cause it's defective. If it's pointed toward the house, then I nail it in!" Scott got completely upset and yelled, "You idiot! The nails pointed toward you aren't defective! They're for the other side of the house!" ------- __ | `-. / | `-.

My son is very upset and doesn't understand why there aren't any Iranians, Iraqis, Afghans, Egyptians, Palestinians, Saudis, Syrians, or Pakistanis on Star Trek."

They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew all about it. If any mischief occurred in their town, the two boys were probably involved. The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon. The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, 'Do you know where God is, son?' The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, 'Where is God?' Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, 'Where is God?' The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dived into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, 'What happened?' The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, 'We are in BIG trouble this time,' (I just LOVE reading this next line again and again:) 'GOD is missing, and they think we did it!' --- ...LOL! A great classic! Thanks Gh0striders! ======================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: Woman Who Said Clinton Raped Her Tells Voters, ‘Actions Speak Louder Than Words’ - "How many times must it be said?" http://tinyurl.com/z79exdu --- ...I used to like Paul Ryan until he started acting like every other paid off politician and wouldn't back Trump even though Trump had more votes than any other Republican nominee - ever! So Paul Ryan more or less was saying he didn't care what the American people thought. But then I had my hopes up when he decided to act like a man and do the right thing for America and his party by backing Trump and going out campaigning with him. Of course as soon as the waters got choppy and Hillary dragged out a decade plus video on Trump he hightails it and proves once again what a putz he truly is. You can always tell a person's true colors by how they act when adversity is on them - like the way Peter acted when betraying Jesus. He was all goody two shoes with Jesus until the going got tough then he turned his back on the most important person in his life showing his true colors not just once but three times! Just the way weak people are. Jesus knew this and forgave Peter of this later knowing full well that none of us is without sin. Sad about Ryan, Kasich, McCain and other strong Republicans. I would have given them the benefit of the doubt - thinking them better than that. But that was before we had Trump showing us what the truth is in congress. Many people out just for themselves could care less about America. They know that if Trump doesn't win then Hillary by default will. Did they turn into Democrats on us? If so they need to resign. Trump is the one who had it made and could have just gone along with his own cushy billionaire ways instead of diving into the sea of controversy, humility, repeated lies and character bashing by all the left, most of the news media, and even his own fellow Republican party! Thank God he doesn't give up on us, his AMERICAN SUPPORTERS! He complimented Hillary last night that she is a fighter - well, I think he is the REAL fighter! He hasn't given up and I am confident and pray God will give him the strength to see this through to November 8th in the name of our Victorious Lord and Savior Christ Jesus! -<>- >From BizarreNews: College is not what I remember. If you are a 19-year-old college kid and on the wrong end of a taser and a police dog, you've made some seriously bad desicions in your young life. This rather brutal story took place in Florida where 19-year- old Austin Harrouff was a sophomore at Florida State University. Last August police arrived at the home of Michelle Mischon, 53, and her husband, John Stevens, 59, who where victims of Harrouff's homicidal rampage. He had fatally stabbed the couple before attempting to bite off one of the victim's faces. Police found Harrouff on top of Stevens, "biting off sections of his face" while making animal noises. Officers then attempted to use a stun gun and a police dog to get Harrouff to stop, but neither had any effect. Police reported they also tried kicking Harrouff in the face several times - but that, too, did not elicit a reaction. Along with two counts of murder, Harrouff has also been charged with one count of attempted murder for stabbing a neighbor who attempted to intervene in the attack. Incredibly enough, Harrouff tested negative for methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, and other common drugs. Maybe it was finals stress. My question is; how did this psycho maniac get into college in the first place? -<>- Leonardo Da Vinci he's not, but this 27-year-old Brit, originally from Buenos Aires, is commanding up to 1,500 British pounds for his works of art. Is it his abstract technique? Maybe, but it's more likely the fact that Leandro Granato creates his works by snorting up paint and squirting it out of his eyes. He has to weep out up to a pint and a half of watercolors to make each one of his creations. "Ever since I was a kid I knew I had a special connection between my eye and my nose," explained Granato. "As I grew up, I started realizing that air and liquids could go out of my eye if I put them through my nose. Now, I am the inventor of a new painting style in the art world." He added: "When I decided to do this for a living, my whole family - as well as many other people - thought I was going crazy. But as time went by, they began to understand the art I call eye-painting." *-- British man solves 'world's smallest Rubik's cube' with tweezers --* IPSWITCH, England - A British puzzle enthusiast shared video of his successful attempt to solve what he bills as the "world's smallest Rubik's cube." Tony Fisher, who holds the Guinness World Record for largest Rubik's cube after building a puzzle measuring more than 5 feet tall, created a Rubik's cube measuring only .22 inches on each side. Fisher said he couldn't get a 3D printer to make the puzzle small enough, so he filed down a cube that started at .24 inches on each side. The video shows Fisher solving the puzzle using tweezers and a magnifying glass. *-- Burger King apologizes for profane messages on couple's wrappers --* NAPERVILLE, Ill. - An Illinois couple said they felt doubly insulted when a Burger King manager refused to hear their complaints about profane messages written on their wrappers. Nancy and Martyce Murphy said they took home their recent order from the Burger King drive-through in Naperville and were preparing to eat when they noticed both of their sandwich wrappers had been marked with the same expletive. Nancy Murphy said she called the restaurant and received nothing but denials from a manager. "I told him what had happened and he said, 'I don't believe you, there's no way that could have happened,'" she told WLS-TV. Murphy said she spoke to a higher-up supervisor Monday and later learned Monday afternoon that an employee had admitted to writing the messages and had been fired. The supervisor said the worker told officials they were having a bad day and took it out on the customers with the profanities. The couple said they still feel insulted by the company. "To just shrug it off and you're in management and to say 'I think you're lying' or 'I don't believe you,' I think that's most insulting," Nancy Murphy said. Profane or insulting messages have been found on receipts, as one Starbucks customer in St. Augustine, Fla., discovered when his bill included the message, "Diabetes here I come." Starbucks apologized to the customer and said employees would receive additional training to ensure this would not happen again. *--------------- Try, Try Again ---------------* A young mother of 14 daughters is determined to keep going until she gives her husband a son. Augustina Higuera of Texas, is just 29 years old, but she is already the proud mother of 14 children. Higuera not only beat many odds by having a large family of girls only, but she beat odds of 500,000 to one when she gave birth to a third set of twins. Although Higuera loves her daughters, she vowed to keep going until she has given her husband Jose, 30, a son. "I have no limit on how many children I am willing to have. I would even have another 10 if it meant having a boy," she said. *----------------- Pokemon Go -----------------* The prime minister of Norway was caught on camera playing Pokemon Go in parliament -- and the current speaker had previously been caught doing the same thing. Prime Minister Erna Solberg was captured by a photographer playing the popular augmented reality game on her smartphone during a debate in the country's parliament. Solberg, leader of the Conservative Party, was seen playing during remarks from Liberal Party leader Trine Skei Grande. The prime minister told local news she didn't think Grande would mind, seeing as how she was caught on video playing Pokemon Go during a parliamentary Storting committee hearing. Grande confirmed as much with an aisle-crossing tweet in support of the prime minister's game-playing habits. "She heard what I said, we ladies can do two things at the same time you know," she tweeted with a winking emoji. ========================================================= >-->From Our friend Linda :) .-""-._ / ___/ \ _&_ _.--""|/ `\| // \\ .'

"See, I have a problem with that passion business," responded the jury candidate. "During my first marriage, I came in and found my husband in bed with my neighbor. All I did was divorce him.

"What kind of pie do you call this?" asked one student indignantly. "What's it taste like?" asked the cook. "Glue." "Then it's apple pie. The plum pie tastes like soap." -<>- A man and his friend were exiting a drugstore and at the front door there was a scale. "Look, a scale," the man said to his friend. "Let's see how my new diet is working out." He stepped on the scale. "I can't believe it!" he said as he read the result. "I've been on this diet for two weeks but the scale says I'm heaver than I was before! How can that be?" He pondered this as he stepped off the scale, then had a thought. He took off his jacket and handed it to his friend. "Here, hold my jacket," he said. The friend took the jacket as the man stepped back on the scale. Not much change. "Here," he said as he handed his purchase from the drugstore to his friend. "Hold my Twinkies too." -<>- The elevator in our building malfunctioned one day, leaving several of us stranded. Seeing a sign that listed two emergency phone numbers, I dialed the first and explained our situation. After what seemed to be a very long silence, the voice on the other end said, "I don't know what you expect me to do for you; I'm a psychologist." "A psychologist?" I replied. "Your phone is listed here as an emergency number. Can't you help us?" "Well," he finally responded in a measured tone. "How do you feel about being stuck in an elevator?" ========================================================= >-->From TheMouthpiece: .-----. .'`-. / ,-- | .- `-. ,' ,-' `. _.-' ,-.`.) ; / ,=---`--+' .- -. `.

'ACCESS ALL OF THE SECRET FILES' on any keyboard. * Likewise, you can infect a computer with a destructive virus by simply typing 'UPLOAD VIRUS.' Viruses cause temperatures in computers, just like they do in humans. After a while, smoke billows out of disk drives and monitors, explosions may result. * People typing away on a computer will turn it off without saving the data. However, the files are found fully intact upon returning. * Any PERMISSION DENIED has an OVERRIDE function. * Complex calculations and loading of huge amounts of data will be accomplished in under three seconds. Modems transmit data at two gigabytes per second. * No matter what kind of computer disk it is, it'll be readable by any system you put it into. All application software is usable by all computer platforms. * The more high-tech the equipment, the more unlabeled buttons it has. * Laptops always seem to have amazing real-time video phone capabilities (through their built-in satellite uplink) and the performance of a CRAY-T3E. * Computers NEVER crash during key, high-intensity activities. Humans NEVER make mistakes while operating computers under stress. * Any photograph can have minute details digitally pulled out of it; you can zoom into any picture as far as you want to. -<>- >Cards You Won't Find In The Shops _________ ' |. |_ . |. |:| . .-----. ` |. |/ / RIP \ |_________| | | __|___|__ ____________|_______|______[_________]______________ | | | _______ _______ ______ __ __ _______ ______ | | | __| | | | |/ | ___| __ \ | | |__ | | | ---| <| ___| < | | |_______|_______|______|__|\__|_______|___|__| | | | | | |____________________________________________________| b'ger "Looking back over the years that we've been together, I can't help but wonder:.............

"I've always wanted to have someone to hold, someone to love......... After having met you, I've changed my mind." "I must admit, you brought Religion in my life........... I never believed in Hell until I met you." "As the days go by, I think of how lucky I am....... that you're not here to ruin it for me." "As you grow older, Mum, I think of all the gifts you've given me. Like the need for therapy..." "Thanks for being a part of my life!!!.......... I never knew what evil was before this!" "Before you go,......... I would like you to take this knife out of my back. You'll probably need it again." "Someday I hope to get married............ but not to you." "You look great for your age.......Almost Lifelike!" "When we were together, you always said you'd die for me......... Now that we've broken up, I think it's time you kept your promise." "I knew the day would come when you would leave me for my best friend....... So here's his leash, water bowl and chew toys." "We have been friends for a very long time........... What do you say we call it quits?" "I'm so miserable without you.................. It's almost like you're here." "Congratulations on your new bundle of joy............... Did you ever find out who the father was?" "You are such a good friend that if we were on a sinking ship and there was only one life jacket.... I'd miss you heaps and think of you often."

Dreamscapes continues where his first video left off featuring more colorful mountain scenes from the district of Oberallgäu in Bavaria, Germany. He used approximately 15,000 photos to create this wonderful video. Soundtrack music is “Beacons” by Rob Fleming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Kkq4g5IggqU Whoever coined the phrase "fighting like cats and dogs" never saw the beautiful relationship between these two wounded pets. Idgie the dachshund and Ruth the cat were rescued together and ever since, they've been inseparable. Love knows no bounds, and neither does cuteness! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1AkTdvTOngo If you own a dog, you know the pain of leaving them alone while you head off to work each day. This cute video captures the feeling all too well.
