Today's Bonehead Award: Gravy-Covered Laptop Leads To Child Porn Bust ________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote! ______________________________________________________ A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. --- Herm Albright _____________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ "I play golf in the low 80's," the little old man was telling one of the young boys at the club. "Wow," said the young man, "that's pretty impressive." "Not really," said the little old man. "Any hotter and I'd probably have a stroke." ______________________________________________________` _____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote! Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Robert Leo Watson, 54, Des Moines, Iowa Gravy-Covered Laptop Leads To Child Porn Bust An Iowa man facing child porn charges was arrested after he brought a gravy covered computer into Best Buy for repairs and a Geek Squad member discovered illicit images on the machine, according to a court filing. Investigators say Robert Leo Watson, 54, last year brought his laptop to a Best Buy near his Des Moines home because he had spilled gravy on the keyboard rendering this device unusable. Watson, seen above, purchased a replacement computer and paid an additional fee to have the files on his used gravy covered computer transferred to his newly purchased computer," reported a Des Moines Police Department investigator. During the file migration, Geek Squad workers noticed multiple images being transferred that they believed contained child pornography. The Best Buy workers contacted cops, who seized both computers as evidence. In a subsequent police interview, Watson reportedly admitted to downloading images of 4 and 5 year olds that he felt were about to have sex. He claimed to have downloaded the photos because he wanted to tell other people about them. Watson, who saved the images under file names like 13 year old and 14 year old was charged in late-April with ten counts of possessing depictions of minors engaged in sex acts. Locked up in the Polk County jail on $50,000 cash bond, Watson is scheduled for a May 10 preliminary hearing on the felony charges. From: Doug Re: Why is Open Office better for sharing? Dear Webby You mentioned that Open Office is better for sharing. Why is that? Doug Dear Doug Open office, and Office Libre use the Open Business standard, not the Microsoft Exclusive standard. If all your clients and friends use Microsoft Office, then you have no problem with everybody using Microsoft producs. However, if you don't know what recipients use, then it is better to use Open standard products. The same goes for saving as HTML for web pages. If you use for example Microsoft Word for composing and then save as HTML, it may look almost OK, just don't try to edit it. Theoretically, it could be done, but the source looks like a pizza did not agree with a dog and came back. It will be easier to go back to the WORD document, edit that, and then save that as HTML again. That tends to cause rough language from your webmaster. Using Open Office WRITE can also save as HTML, but it uses clean, easy to edit HTML and anybody will gladly edit it without any violence at all. Have FUN!

A group of teenage girls attending a cheerleading camp on the University of Texas got stuck and had to be rescued after trying to squeeze into an elevator at a residence hall Tuesday night. One girl fainted and was treated at a hospital and released. Two others were treated at the scene. The elevator doors refused to open after the pack of 14- to 17-year-olds descended from the fourth to the first floor, police said. Responding to a few panicked cell phone calls from the group, police and firefighters summoned an elevator repairman, who spent about 25 minutes extricating them. Campus officials weren't amused. "It's dangerous, actually," said a school police spokeswoman, Rhonda Weldon. "They're lucky that that's all that happened." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
Little Johnny had bought Grandma a book for her birthday and wanted to write a suitable inscription. He racked his brain until suddenly he remembered that his father had a book with an inscription of which he was very proud, so Johnny decided to copy it. You can imagine Grandma's surprise when she opened her book, a Bible, and found neatly inscribed the following phrase: "To Grandma, with the compliments of the author." ___________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Firewood Tips: Hardwood Burns Longers When getting firewood, remember hardwood will burn twice as long as softwood.

As I left the grocery store, I noticed two little kids, maybe six or seven years old, selling candy bars in front of the store to raise money for their school band. "I'll buy a chocolate bar on one condition," I said to the boys. "You eat it for me." I bought one and handed the candy back to one of the boys. He shook his head. "I can't," he said. "Why not?" Looking me in the eye, he responded gravely, "I'm not supposed to take candy from strangers." ___________________________________________________ | Today May 6 in 1527 German troops began sacking Rome, bringing about the end of the Renaissance. 1529 Babur defeated the Afghan Chiefs in the Battle of Ghagra, India. 1576 The peace treaty of Chastenoy ended the fifth war of religion. 1682 King Louis XIV moved his court to Versailles, France. 1840 The first adhesive postage stamps went on sale in Great Britain. 1851 The mechanical refrigerator was patented by Dr. John Gorrie. 1851 Linus Yale patented the clock-type lock. 1877 Chief Crazy Horse surrendered to U.S. troops in Nebraska. 1882 The U.S. Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act.
