Nursing-Home Residents Mate In Captivity (from The Onion)
COLBY, KS—Following six months of failed attempts under intense observation by geriatric scientists, Briarwood Nursing Home residents Horace Klass, 86, and Helen Veukmaan, 83, successfully mated in captivity Monday. "As with most new arrivals to Briarwood, Horace and Helen at first seemed despondent," Briarwood's Dr. William Stander said. "Before long, though, they grew accustomed to their new habitat, and Horace soon felt comfortable enough to approach Helen. Indeed, Horace ultimately proved quite aggressive." Briarwood employees report that, after mating, Klass provided Veukmaan with half a box of windmill cookies.

Many things we need to know about life, we can learn from Noah's Ark...

You are not happy because you are well. You are well because you are happy. You are not depressed because trouble has come to you, but trouble has come to you because you are depressed. You can change your thoughts and feelings, and then the outer things will come to correspond, and indeed there is no other way of working. -- Emmet Fox

After hearing the words of a song "Tempted by the fruit of another, Tempted but the truth is discovered" my 4 year old niece Olivia said: "Truth isn't all that's discovered, dinosaur bones are discovered, too."

Oh Sacred Water,
I come again to thy shores,
I see the ever-flowing Wisdom Stream.
Oh Sacred Water,
I enter thee,
let wash away
Those weighty thoughts
that keep me From your Sea of Equanimity.
Oh Creator, our eyes become clear,
Wisdom's sacred light shines in our hearts.
Let us see, let us be
That which we are.
May all Beings realize Harmony and Unity.
--Tsalagi (Cherokee) prayer
