When they finished filming the ad, the film editor noticed something moving along the side of the car, like a ghostly white mist. The ad was never put on TV because of the unexplained ghostly phenomenon. Watch the front end of the car as it clears the trees in the middle of the screen and you'll see the white mist crossing in front of the car then following it along the road. Spooky! Is it a ghost, or is it simply mist? There is a slight sound to the mist when it appears so turn the volume up. You decide.

The Glenelg High School FCA chapter is sponsoring an "Operation Christmas Child" project which will benefit incarcerated parent's children at Christmas by collecting toys for the children. As part of the project, students posted signs throughout the school, encouraging other students to help those less fortunate than themselves. The principal forced the FCA chapter to cover over the word "Christmas" and replace it with "Holiday," so that the signs read, "Operation Holiday Child." AFA's button reads: "Merry Christmas: God's Good News." We were thrilled to have an opportunity for the students at Glenelg High School to wear these buttons. I hope you will help us distribute as many of these beautiful Christmas buttons which contain the message about the "Reason for the Season." You can sponsor your church, or even you local school. Students in Christian schools certainly need to proudly wear these buttons. Businesses can offer them to their customers.

Joey Chestnut, of San Jose, Calif., became the first competitor to eat more than 100 burgers, breaking the record of 97 set by Takeru Kobayashi, a three-time champion of the contest from Nagano, Japan, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reported Monday. The win helped Chestnut solidify his position at the No. 1 competitive eater with the International Federation of Competitive Eating. He was awarded a championship belt, a crystal trophy and a check for $10,000. "I'm drained," Chestnut said after the event. "All I want to do is take a nap and digest this food." Bob Shoudt, of Philadelphia, Pa., came in second with 95 burgers and Pat Bertoletti, of Chicago, finished third by downing 94 burgers. (())) /|x x| /\( - ) ___.-._/\/ /=`_'-'-'/ !! |-{-_-_-} !

Meteorite fails to draw high bids A piece of famous space rock -- a meteorite -- was pulled from a New York auction after it failed to generate high enough bids. The 30-pound piece of the Willamette Meteorite, which was found in 1902 in Oregon, peaked at a $300,000 bid, despite expectations that it would bring in up to $1.3 million at Bonhams auction house, the New York Post reported Monday. However, a total of $750,000 was brought in by other space rocks and related items at the auction. The "Claxton mailbox," a mailbox that was hit by a falling space rock outside a Georgia home in 1894, fetched $82,750 at the auction. The 164-pound Campo del Cielo Meteorite, which fell from the sky in Argentina in 1576, was purchased for $14,000 in the sale. -<>- >From BizarreNews: -- Man in zombie costume mistaken for deaad -------- BAD SEGEBERG, Germany - Police investigating reports of a corpse on a German train near the town of Bad Segeberg said the reported body was actually a drunken man dressed as a zombie. The Halloween reveler had fallen into a drunken sleep on the train ride home from a party in Hamburg, and his gore-covered zombie costume was mistaken by fellow passengers for a bloody corpse, Sky News reported Tuesday. Police were called when passengers couldn't get a response from the man but a first aid team quickly determined that the man wasn't dead, merely sleeping. The police told him to remove his apparently realistic makeup and he was allowed to continue his train ride home. "Bad Segeberg is in a rural area and Halloween isn't very well known there," police spokeswoman Sikle Tobies told Sky News. "So people weren't expecting anyone to be dressed up in the train." -- Paris builds pee-proof walls -------------- PARIS - The mayor of Paris, who made environmental concerns a major priority, is taking aim at another threat to the city's cleanliness -- public urination. Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe, who made all self-cleaning Sanisette toilets in streets and parks free of charge in February, is turning to a new method of keeping urination off the streets and in the toilets: walls that pee back, The Telegraph reported Monday. "Le mur anti-pipi" is an undulating wall that features sloping surfaces that reflect urine streams back toward their source, the newspaper said. "The jet of pee is rather oblique. If it meets a sloping surface it is sent back to the trousers," said Etienne Vanderpooten, a municipal architect who has been working on halting public urination for 25 years. "It is the case of the arroseur arrose (the sprinkler sprinkled)," he told The Telegraph. _ [_] /; :\ ()'---' C | | | -- Swedish church plans Lego Jesus ------ [=|=] TomekK VASTERAS, Sweden - A Vasteras, Sweden, church is asking for donations of white Lego blocks to be used in a life- size Jesus statue. Per Wilder, the priest who is heading the initiative, estimated that the statue will require about 20,000 Legos, The Local reported Monday. "If it works out well we could envisage pulling the statue apart regularly before building it back up again," he said. Wilder said he feels using any Lego colors other than white would be tasteless. He said the statue should appear to be made from marble when viewed from a distance. ============================================================= >-->From Our Friedn Steve :) >I am a Christian When I say...

Upon making several false alarm trips to the bathroom, he decided the latest Episode was another and stayed put. He suddenly filled his bed with diarrhea And was embarrassed beyond his ability to remain rational. In a complete loss of composure he jumped out of bed, gathered up the bed sheets, and threw them out the hospital window. A drunk was walking by the hospital when the sheets landed on him. He started yelling, cursing, and swinging his arms violently trying to get t he unknown things off, and ended up with the soiled sheets in a tangled pile at his feet. As the drunk stood there, unsteady on his feet, staring down at the sheets, a hospital security guard, (barely containing his laughter), and who had watched the whole incident, walked up and asked, "What the heck is going on here?" The drunk, still staring down replied: "I think I just beat the poo out of a Ghost." Happy Halloween -<**>- >Why Dogs are Better than Humans! .--. .---. /:. '. .' ..

The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.' After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?' 'It was Bob the next door neighbor,' she replies. 'Great!' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?' **Moral of the story:**** **If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure. **Lesson 2:** A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.' Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.' **Moral of the story:**** **If you are not well informed in your job, opportunities for advancement will pass right by you. **Lesson 3:** A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.' 'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.' Puff! She's gone. 'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and with the love of my life.' Puff! He's gone. 'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.' **Moral of the story:**** **Always let your boss have the first say. **Lesson 4:** **An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?' The eagle answered: 'Sure , why not.' So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it. **Moral of the story:**** **To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up. **Lesson 5:** A turkey was chatting with a bull. 'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.' 'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.' The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree. **Moral of the story:**** **Bull shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there. **Lesson 6:** A little bird was flying south for the Winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and shit on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him. **Morals of the story**: (1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy. (2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend. (3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut! **THIS CONCLUDES THE 5-MINUTE MANAGEMENT COURSE --- ...TeeHee!

The Lab is situated in the middle, and the first man is looking quizzically at the dog when the second man explains that they work for the airline. The airline rep said, "Don't mind Sniffer; he is a sniffing dog, the best there is... I'll show you once we get airborne when I put him to work." The plane takes off and levels out when the handler says to the first man... "Watch this." He tells the dog, "Sniffer, search." Sniffer jumps down, walks along the aisle, and sits next to a woman for a few seconds. He then returns to his seat and puts one paw on the handler's arm. He says "Good boy." The airline rep turns to the first man and says, "!That woman is in possession of marijuana, so I'm making a note of this and her seat number for the police who will apprehend her on arrival." "Fantastic!" replies the first man. Once again he sends Sniffer to search the aisles. The Lab sniffs about, sits down beside a man for a few seconds, returns to his seat, and places two paws on the handler's arm. The airline rep says, "That man is carrying cocaine, to again I'm making a note of this and the seat number." "I like it!" says the first man. A third time the rep sends Sniffer to search the aisles. Sniffer goes up and down the plane and after a while sits down next to someone. He then comes racing back, jumps up onto his seat, and poops all over the place. The first man is really grossed out by this behavior from a supposedly well-trained sniffing dog and asks, "What's going on?"

Mr. Pitt was walking down the red carpet in front of Mann’s Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard when his bicep unexpectedly exploded, sending reporters flying through the air. Dozens of injured onlookers were rushed to the hospital after the blast, which law enforcement officials said was not believed to be terrorism-related. "At this time it is our understanding that his left bicep acted alone," said LAPD spokesman Charles Henckey. Mr. Pitt’s right bicep was briefly questioned by the police and later released, Mr. Henckey added. The detonation of Mr. Pitt’s left bicep comes at an awkward time for the actor, who had been scheduled to make a promotional tour of Europe and Asia in support of the "Troy" blockbuster. "At a time when Brad should be talking about the movie, all of the questions from the press are going to be about why his bicep went kaboom," said veteran Hollywoood talent agent Buddy Schlantz. "Still, there’s no such thing as bad publicity." A spokesman for Mr. Pitt said that the actor’s left bicep was "doing great" after the blast, but could take months to rebuild. ======================================================== >-->From CleanLaffs: My cousin was behind the bakery's cash register one morning when a gunman burst in and demanded all the cash. As she nervously handed over the money, she noticed the rolls of coins in the back of the register. "Do you want the rolls too?" she asked. "No," said the robber, waving his gun. "Just the money." -<>- When I was a child, I remember my Mom telling me, "Son, when you grow up, you can marry any girl you please." When I became a young man, I learned the sad fact was that I could not please any of them. -<>- A man goes to the doctor with a swollen foot. After a careful examination, the doctor gives the man a pill big enough to choke a horse. "I'll be right back with some water," the doctor tells him. The doctor has been gone a while and the man loses patience. He hobbles out to the drinking fountain, forces the pill down his throat and gobbles down water until the pill clears his throat. He hobbles back into the examining room. The doctor comes back with a bucket of warm water. "Ok, after the tablet dissolves, soak that leg for at least 30 minutes." -<>- A man standing in line at a check out counter of a grocery store was very surprised when a very attractive woman behind him said, "Hello!" Her face was beaming. He gave her that "who are you look," and couldn't remember ever having seen her before. Then, noticing his look, she figured she had made a mistake and apologized. "Look," she said "I'm really sorry but when I first saw you, I thought you were the father of one of my children," and walked out of the store. The guy was dumbfounded and thought to himself, "What is the world coming to? Here is an attractive woman who can't keep track of who fathers her children!" Then he got a little panicky. "I don't remember her," he thought, but MAYBE..during one of the fraternity parties he had been to when he was in college, perhaps he did father her child! He ran from the store and caught her in the parking lot and asked, "Are you the girl I met at a party in college and then we had a little too much to drink and spent the night together but I never called you again after- ward?" "No", she said with a horrified look on her face. "I'm your son's Sunday School teacher." -<>- +-------------------+ | |\\| ,,-. .::. | | | \|(( )) .:' | | ``-' ::.. | | NIGHT CLUB | ______....+-------------------+... ....------''''''' ______....LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL..... ....------''''''' | +--------------+ _______________ | | Tonite Only! | / \ | | ReMixer LIVE | /_________________\ | +--------------+ | | | | | | | |______|______| | |__________________________|/|_____[|]_____|\|________ |__________________________|/| | |\|________ | | |______|______| | |__________________________|/ \|________MJP| | / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ / | As a nightclub owner, I hired a pianist and a drummer to entertain my customers. After several performances, I discovered the drummer had walked away with some of my valuables. I notified police, who arrested him. Desperate for another drummer, I called a friend who knew some musicians. "What happened to the drummer you had?" he asked me. "I had him arrested," I replied. My friend paused for a second and asked, "How badly did he play?" ================================================================ >-->FUN Places To Net Visit: >From Linky&DInky: HAVE YOU LOOKED the LORD in the EYE?
