1 A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah". The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him". 2 A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionall…

@dead_x_12 is getting close to high school and he is starting to consider which foreign language class to take. His options are Spanish, French or Russian. Which would you choose? I think he should take Spanish because far more people in the USA speak that than the other 2, he is leaning towards Russian (dunno why) but it could have future opportunities if he were to really get into it.

Velum, I'm not really sure that it's significant enough to to be posted in the GTA Online category, because it was a thought I just had. "You're such a Cheetah, I saw you hacking, Hearse the evidence. See? I stabbed you with my Blade 3 times and you didn't die. Stop hacking you Faggio stop!!! Stop putting Bullets in me while I'm exposing you Hexors! TomMonroe, imma report you to Rockstar and make an Exemplar out of you, for I am Zion Cabrio the Dominator." "Lol, says someone in a Vader-like costume from the LTS DLC, your such a Jester. You can't kill this Rebel scum, and Emperor Palpatine will be sure to be Thrusting you with his lightSabre tonight." …

Let's get to know each other a little better. List 3-5 interesting facts about you that not many people know. You don't have to share anything personal. I'll start... 1) I'm terrified of bees. 2) I enjoy hiking. 3) I've sprained both my knees numerous times, all from separate occasions, so I have knees of a 70 year old woman... maybe worse. 4) I had Lasik eye surgery done in June 2013. (best decision ever!) 5) I love beaches. If I could afford a beach house, I'd have one.

So, about a month from now I am going to have a birthday -- considering my age -- thats a lot of birthdays!... Funny thing is even now I still get excited about my birthday -- also get excited about my kids birthdays -- get scared about my wife's b-day (dont know how she is going to react to it, and never know what to get her)... Anyway, back to my birthday -- the main reason why I always loved my birthday is because of the surprise b-day presents of course... I dont mean cash, or gift cards, or presents you actually asked for, or crap that someone gives you because they want it -- and they figure you would want it too...

If you had the cash to do it and could get a week or month of work where would you go and why? I would love to go see Egypt and France. Egypt because the pyramids fascinate me and France because that is where my family comes from back in ye olden days. Can't say Paris interests me much, but more the rural areas. That to me is where you meet the real people and not the tourist scammers.

A thread where you can get out your frustrations and rant about whatever. Though not anything crew related. Keep that shit private with the people involved. I'll start, So since the financial crisis begun there has been nothing but budget cuts on the school programs, the medical system, the care for the elders and the most vulnerable in my little country which is otherwise world-renowned for its social welfare system and being one of the least corrupt countries. And what are our already overpaid members of the parlament doing these days.. well, they are planning to give themselves a fucking 15-30% raise along with even more bonuses. Dickheads!

10 worst jobs in history

1. Leech collector – Until the late 19th century, leeches were in high demand for medicinal bloodletting – the withdrawal of very small amounts of blood from a patient as therapy. Despite the demand, leech-gatherers were poorly paid. Worse still, they often collected the leeches by letting them latch on to their own legs – a practice through which they could lose dangerous amounts of blood. 2. Snake milker – While we’re on dangerous jobs, here’s one that still exists today. Snakes have long been milked for their venom, which is then used to create antivenin to treat snake bites. One renowned milker, Bill Haast, survived 172 venomous snake bites during …

Story: So me and my friend were coming up with the most ridiculous gun attachments which is pretty laughable in a lot of the cases. How to play: In this game, you have to use a weapon that normally is impossible or out of the norm to add real/fake gun attachment. (By fake I mean stuff such as COD attachment, etc) *You can use a vehicle as your base as well* Ex. My carbon fibre knife with: -suppressor -40x scope -angled grip -pink camo -laser sight -bipod on the angle grip Vehicle example. My Lamborgini Segway with: -Chrome paint job …

106Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
What I Watched This Week #120 (April 15-21) Of Time and the City dir. Terence Davies/2008/1h18m Of Time and the City is a documentary collage film made up of newsreel and archive footage that builds up a picture of the director's childhood in Liverpool during the 50's and 60's. This is like film as a memory, fragmented and broken into unrelated segments as if it were edited by stream of consciousness all scored to a majestic classical soundtrack. The narration, by Davies himself, is just like the rest of the film, at times he snarls about religion and the royal family, at others he rhapsodises about his working class upbringing, his s*xual awakening. Both incredibly personal and universal – he could be talking about a thousand cities, a thousand lives – the juxtaposition of dirt poor children playing in the streets set to highbrow classical music does become a little laboured over the length of the film, but that is my only small negative I have for this very moving picture of time and place. 9/10 Joint Security Area dir. Park Chan-wook/2000/1h48m On the border of North and South Korea two Northern soldiers are killed by a soldier from the South with the investigation uncovering what seems to be a very strange mystery – too many bullets fired, stories not matching up – but the truth is much simpler and much more tragic. Director Park Chan-wook is a master of unravelling mysteries in interesting ways – Oldboy and the recent Decision to Leave being two prime examples – and this is no different, with the investigation uncovering more information relayed through flashbacks. Saying anything more about the plot would be to spoil it, but the tension never lets up, even during moments of levity, because one wrong move would be disastrous for both sides. The two lead performances of South Korean Sgt. Lee (Lee Byung-hun) and the North's Sgt. Oh (Song Kang-ho, probably the biggest star in Korean film right now thanks to his work with b*ng Joon-ho) are excellent. The film also ends with a brilliant still image from a scene in the middle of the film that is given a whole new meaning thanks to the context we subsequently get. 9/10 Lime's Film of the Week! Dead of Night dir. Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden, Robert Hamer, Alberto Cavalcanti/1945/1h43m Dead of Night is an anthology horror film that stars Mervyn Johns as Walter Craig, an architect invited to a cosy little country inn to see about renovations, but when he arrives he realises that all of the people there, total strangers, are people he has seen in a dream, a dream where something terrible happens at the end, but he can't remember what. We then get four of the guests telling spooky stories of their own, which makes up the majority of the film. While the first three stories are good, especially the more comedic one about a dead golfer haunting his friend, it's the last one that really sticks with you. It stars Michael Redgrave as ventriloquist Maxwell Frere who goes mad with jealousy thinking that his d*mmy Hugo wants to leave him for another ventriloquist. It felt very much like an inspiration for the brilliant Anthony Hopkins film Magic (and every other creepy ventriloquist's d*mmy in media.) Chilling and charming in equal measure, this is a fun watch with some genuine thrills sprinkled throughout. 9/10 The Guard dir. John Michael McDonagh/2011/1h36m Mean, miserable, drug addled and prostitute loving small town Irish cop Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleeson) is less than pleased when he's teamed up with FBI agent Wendell Everett (Don Cheadle) to bust an international drug smuggling ring. This is a black comedy with a real mean streak that you can't help but to compare to the works of the director's brother Martin McDonagh, particularly In Bruges. It's a testament to this film that it's not a totally unflattering comparison. Gleeson is always a joy to watch, even when he's playing someone so aggressively unlikeable. Cheadle doesn't really have a lot to do other than be amazed that Boyle is saying/doing the things that he's saying/doing, but he does it well. It does fell a little too mean spirited at points, but that is softened by a few scenes where Boyle meets with his equally foul-mouthed mother (Fionnula Flanagan), and I really liked Mark Strong's character of a drug dealer who feels like he's above it all. 7/10 The Party dir. Sally Potter/2017/1h11m Janet (Kristin Scott Thomas) is throwing a party to celebrate getting a shadow ministerial position but her husband Bill (Timothy Spall) seems distant and distracted, her best friend April (Patricia Clarkson) is splitting up with her partner, the very zen Godfried (Bruno Ganz), and Tom (Cillian Murphy) has turned up upset with a load of cocaine and a gun. A blackly comic social satire, this gets a little too verbose at times and feels like the characters are just spouting ideologies rather than having conversations for a lot of the very short runtime, but when it is as well written as this is you can forgive that for the most part. The performances are all solid. Clarkson's withering insults had me cackling every time, and I couldn't get enough of Ganz's Godfried, especially when he starts a therapy session for Bill and Tom. This film also has a really strong ending which I didn't see coming but that the script had seeded subtly throughout in a very smart way. 8.5/10 The Cure dir. Charlie Chaplin/1917/24m In this mid tier Chaplin short he plays an alcoholic who checks in to a health spa in order to sober up, but it's going to be a hard job when he brings a case full of booze with him. In the end the spa's well of curative water is spiked with alcohol and everyone enjoys getting blasted. During the film he makes classic slapstick out of revolving doors, the changing rooms and has a wrestling match with a burly masseuse. For me, whenever Chaplin strays from the character of the little tr*mp his films lose a bit of their heart and humanity. Rather than actually having anything to say this film is more like his earlier works in that it's just a succession of gags. They're really good ones performed by the best to ever do it, but when you know he's capable of more then you can't help but feel a little disappointed. That said, this is still better than the majority of films from the time and we're lucky to still have them. 6.5/10 Dilating for Maximum Results dir. Nyala Moon/2023/14m Trans woman Dreya (writer/director Nyala Moon) is going to hook up with her online boyfriend for the first time, but she has never been with a man and hasn't dilated in years, with this comedy following her as she tries to get ready. You learn something new every day, and the day I watched this film I learned that trans women need to dilate to stop from closing up, and that is what we get here in what I can only call a zany way. My main problem with this film is that the comedy is very TikTok if that makes sense. It's just not my taste, but that's me being an old man not hip with the kids. I do like how much of Moon's personality shines through here, she's very engaging and likeable. I also appreciate seeing a film about a trans woman that's not depressing and only focuses on negative experiences. 6/10 TRAY TRAY KO dir. Seba Calfuqueo/2022/6m (no trailer so here's the artist performing another piece in a gallery) This avant-garde piece of indigenous art see filmmaker Calfuqueo drag a long train of shimmering blue material through the Chilean rainforest to a sacred spot at the base of a waterfall. The only sounds are that of the forest and the water. The material is like a stream of man's making, leaving its mark on the landscape but only for a second, only until Calfuqueo hass passed by. There's a gorgeous overhead shot of the synthetic stream running next to a real one, man in harmony with nature. Hypnotic and meditative. 7/10- 2

106Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Anatomy of a Fall (2023) dir Justine Triet This won this year's Oscar and Bafta Best Original Screenplay awards, and it is a very good story. It stars Sandra Hüller as author Sandra, living with her husband and son in the French Alps. When her husband is found dead, having apparently fallen from an upper floor balcony of their house, an investigation is launched and, eventually, she is prosecuted for murder. I would not call this a thriller. It's neither about police trying to catch a killer nor a typical court room drama of an innocent person falsely accused. We simply watch the story unfold and see the evidence, not being told anything more than we would if we were one of the jury. I think the idea is you make your own mind up about whether Sandra is guilty or not. A lot of it is played out at the trial, but whether it's because it's a French court, and they do things very differently to British and American courts, or just the specifics of this case, it's not like any court-room based film I have ever seen before. It feels a lot more real than a story being told by a film usually does, but still not like a drama-documentary either. It's mainly in English, Sandra is German, her husband and son French, they, tend to speak in English to each other and she gives most of her evidence at the trial in English too. The acting is very good, particularly from Hüller. It's well worth the awards and nominations it got. 9 / 10- 2
