fwd: CANstruction

This is a long one, so I’m splitting it in two. Come back Monday for the other half. Architect and engineers compete to see whose team can build the most spectacular structure using little more than cans of food at ‘Canstruction,’ the 13th annual NYC Design and Build competition in New York . All these cans will go to the food bank afterwards.

FWD: Stupid Stuff… But Funny

I was going to post pictures of Cabo, but have lost my camera’s cord. Par for the course, I guess.  I’ll post them as soon as I can download them.  For now, I bring you junk from the mail bag. 1. How Do You Catch a Unique Rabbit? Unique Up On it. 2. How Do You Catch a Tame Rabbit? Tame Way. 3. How Do Crazy People Go Through The Forest? They Take The Psycho Path. 4. How Do You […]

More Bridges

If you missed it, I posted pictures of other impressive bridges last week. I couldn’t resist a few more. The whole thing is made of sticks. Hand built. This one unrolls.

Bridges

The high water around here has me thinking about bridges. You have probably seen these already. I got the email a while back. I still think they are impressive.

Why Can't Women Sleep At Night?

Have you ever wondered how a woman’s brain works? Well….it’s finally explained here in one, easy-to-understand illustration: Every one of those little blue balls is a thought about something that needs to be done, a decision or a problem that needs to be solved. A man has only 2 balls and they take up all his thoughts. OK, I’ll confess. I posted this one more for the illustration than the joke. I’ve always been a sucker for those overblown “machines” […]

Bugs

A few weeks back I showed you all a bunch of pictures from a hodge-podge kind of email about incredible pictures. I selected out the animals for you. This time I’ve selected out the insects.

Random Pix

Pix are pictures. I once had a friend who liked to talk about all the pix she had, and I find the term has a toe-hold in my vocabulary now. These are all pix from an email that was only about pix. In other words, whoever put this thing together originally just liked the way these looked. I selected just the animals. Maybe next week I’ll show you some of the other great pix that were in it. Because a […]

Ever wonder how they rescued the plane that landed in the Hudson River? Apparently they trucked it through East Rutherford NJ.

Painted Trucks

This email said something about painting the trucks in Europe to look like the products inside. Or, almost anyway.

Here’s what I originally received along with the picture above: > ALASKAN CLYDESDALE > > > Only in Alaska……. This guy raised an abandoned moose calf with his horses, and believe it or not, he has trained it for lumber removal and other hauling tasks. Given […]
