Heisenberg, in the driver's seat, is asked by the officer, "Do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg replies, "No, but I know exactly where I am." The officer looks at him confused and says, 'You were going 108 miles per hour! Heisenberg throws up his arms and cries, "Great! Now I'm lost." The officer, now more confused than ever, orders the two men out of the car, and proceeds to inspect the vehicle.He opens the trunk and yells at the two men, "Hey! Did you guys know you have a dead cat back here?" Schrodinger angrily yells back, "We do now, jerk" --------- -THE PROBLEM WITH LEARNING PHYSICS from JOKES is that Unless You Already know the Physics, You Won't Get the Punch Line~~~ ~~OK. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle shows mathematically that you cannot know both your momentum AND your location at the same time. The police officer did not know that. The Schrodinger wave equation shows that, in order to determine whether, in your universe, the cat in your trunk is alive or dead, you have to take a look, otherwise you don't know. The Cop didn't know that, either. The moral of this story is: Never expect a dumb Cop to have a clue about physics. Your best bet is to fail to arrive at the pullout at the same time as the Cop. You can blame it on Heisenberg. The Cop will have you point blank on the speed violation but won't have a clue whether you were in the speed zone at the time. In the meantime, the cat has died and the stench will act as a cop repellant as the Shrodinger equation waives the Cop's authority out of existence. ~~~ --NOW DO YOU GET IT?? -

-Some Tid-Bits From Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw~
-From: Life Enhancement ~~
----Appetizers--In order to improve your game, you must study the endgame before everything else, for whereas the endings can be studied and mastered by themselves, the middle game and the opening must be studied in relation to the endgame.
(— Jose Raul Capablanca, Cuban chess player who was world chess champion from 1921 to 1927 and one of the greatest players of all time.)
(The above wise quote was taken from Endgame by John Mauldin and Jonathan Tepper, Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2011, a book about the Endgame that is the end of the debt supercycle and how it changes everything. The quote could as well apply to the Endgame of life: aging and death.)
------------------We all know we have seen the end of an era, and now we have courtside seats to watch the Endgame unfold. We are watching the end of Act I: the Debt Supercycle. Now we will get to see how Act II: The Endgame plays out. By:— John Mauldin & Jonathan Tepper, The Endgame --------- 'I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express it in words afterwards.'
— Albert Einstein ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --Nothing gives life more zest than running for your life. — Robert A. Heinlein, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls, 1985) ---------- 'When I was a kid I used to pray for a bicycle. Then I realized that the Lord doesn’t work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me.' — Emo Philips --'You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.'— unknown ~~~~~~~~~~~ 'Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.' — unknown [Total] Olive Oil Consumption in U.S passed Greece in 2009, with the U.S. becoming the third largest consumer of olive oil, reaching a per capita consumption of 0.9 liters of oil a year. Meanwhile, however, Greece’s per capita consumption was 21 liters/year. — CEW:/associate editor of Inform in the Sept. 2012 Inform ----- Thomas Jefferson first saw olive trees in the Alps in 1788 and called them “the richest gift of heaven” and “the most interesting plant in existence.”
— Tom Mueller, author of “Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil”
