Over the whole Twilight series, there has been 24 minutes of just staring.

A California prison inmate smuggled 2 boxes of staples, a pencil sharpener, sharpener blades, and 3 jumbo binder rings in his rectum, earning him the nickname "O.D."—"Office Depot."

Season Two of "24" featured a terrorist plot that originated from a London mosque. A few months after the season ended, authorities raided the mosque and found that it was indeed a terrorist hub.

This is a place that has succeeded Niagara Falls as a place to get married, as 1500 to 2000 couples get married there every year. The least expensive wedding goes for $1991.00. The most expensive . . . ? I tried to find out, but there are too many components to it, but I have heard they have exceeded 6 figures or over $100,000.00. The average wedding . . . ? $28,000.00 and includes 100 guests.

With two firework shows every night and twice on the 4th of July, this place is the largest purchaser of fireworks in the U.S. One show lasts 12 minutes and has 680 fireworks going off or 1 each second. The 2nd show lasts 13 minutes and has 2800 fireworks going off or 4 each second. Which means there are a minimum of 1,270,000 fireworks going off each year. And these people know their fireworks. At their 1st entry into an international fireworks competition, and yes there are international firework competitions, they placed 3rd.

"Dear? Would you finish mowing the lawn, while I finish the laundry?"--"Yes, dear. I'll see you sometime next year."
120 tons of laundry is done. Not each month or even each week, but each day. And there is 450,000 miles of lawn mowing each year, or almost 18 times around the earth at the equator.

Next time: they do Alice's Restaurant one better.

At my wedding, I'm requiring the guys to come in Gorilla suits with a Tux on top.

  PT, For the Birther Conspiracy Crowd:

At the Time Barrack Obama was born, Kenya was not yet a country. It was part of the British Empire.

Meaning, if Obama had actually been born in Kenya, as the birthers claim, he'd be English...

Meaning, He's not just a socialist, but in fact, a bloody Tory spy seeking to return us to Colonial Rule under the Crown!

This can be debateable, but...

When someone obsesses over another person, to the point idoling them (I.e. saying there was no flaws) that person would be wrong, there's always a flaw in someone, be it a bad addiction or lover.

Either way, Obama is not a natural born citizen because he was born in Kenya. Which makes him not eligible to hold the office of President of the United States. Never mind his complete and utter incompetence in the White House.

Got health insurance, America? Not anymore!

Oh f**k off with it, you guys are so f**king butthurt about it. Maturity isn't one of your virtues if you keep complaining and complaining because you're sided.

Gary Oldman thought the script for Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula (1992) was awful, and he almost turned it down. He agreed to play the part of Dracula only because of this one line: "I have crossed oceans of time to find you." - Oldman admitted he was so touched reading that line it made him cry.

You lost your health insurance too, didn't you? Don't get me wrong, I just like to watch Obama fail.

It's not that, It's just that without Obamacare, my sister would be dead.

How did you guys get logged in to the website to shop for your brand new insurance when it's not working for anyone else? I don't really have a dog in this hunt because I have VA coverage. I'm just curious as to how many people that the program is actually working for.

[Leah]

Wait, so you are trying to get insurance online? Is there like a problem with going to an insurance place, or is there isn't any there?
