Khufu (Oldest Surviving Pyramid) According to Herodotus(Ancient Greek Historian), 100,000 people built Khufu’s Great Pyramid and it is also the oldest surviving pyramid , this pyramid is about 4600 years old; Khufu consists of 2.3 million limestone blocks and it weighs 5.9 million tonnes,it is also the second tallest manmade structure after Lincoln Cathedral ( England).Pyramids and Moon If you break the Great pyramid (Khufu) into slabs ,each 30 cm thick, you could build up a wall 1 meter high that would stretch all the way around France and If cut it into rods about 6cm joined together, then they would be enough to reach a quarter of the way to the moonWeight of Average Pyramid If you could weigh an average pyramid it would be around 5,400,000 tons. The average stone block weighs as much as 2 modern cars (2.5 tons). The largest single stone block (in the pyramid of mycerinus ) has weight of about 285 tons- that’s 200 to 250 cars.Pyramid with largest volume According to a research largest Pyramid Quetzalcoatl in terms of volume is in Mexico, not Egypt,It is 177 feet high, less than 40% of the height of Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) at Giza, it covers an area of 45 acres. In contrast, the Great Pyramid is 480 feet high but covers an area of “only” 13 acres. It has been estimated that the Mexican pyramid is a million cubic yards greater in volume than the Great Pyramid.Who Built Pyramids? Contrary to some popular depictions, the pyramid builders were not slaves or foreigners. Excavated skeletons show that they were Egyptians who lived in villages developed and overseen by the pharaoh’s supervisors.

Would you notice me more if I were causing a riot, would you notice me less if I were humble and quiet?
Would you miss me more if you saw me leave everyday; would you miss me less if I was miles away?
Would you desire me more if I was fit and athletic, would you desire me less if I was diseased and pathetic?
Would you love me more if I was rich and wealthy, would you love me less if I was broke and in poverty?
Would you be with me if I was all of these and none, would you be with me despite my circumstances, are you the one?

MANCHESTER, England, June 5 -- Think of it as Facebook au naturel -- "Skinbook," the Web site whose Manchester, England, founder claims is the world's largest nudist social network.
"Skinbook," with 9,000 members -- though many more have applied but been rejected, founder Karl Maddocks says -- offers many of the same features and functions as Facebook, but everybody's naked, The Times of London reported.
Maddocks said the Web site provides an alternative to those frustrated by the strict regulations of many nudist clubs.
"You shouldn't need to fill out application forms and pay fees to clubs," Maddocks said. "Just go to the beach and get your kit off."
Maddocks, 25, said he and classmates at Manchester Metropolitan University started Skinbook as an online network two years ago to share experiences of nudism during a vacation they had taken in Wales. They say they didn't expect anyone outside their online friends group to join.
"Suddenly, it went from nine people to 250," Maddocks said. "We've created a monster. It has slowly but surely turned into a full-time job."
Skinbook members will gather in Brighton, England, this summer -- in the nude, naturally -- for the network's first conference to talk about how to continue developing the site.

NICKNAMES
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.
EATING OUT
When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it’s only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
MONEY
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn’t need but it’s on sale.
BATHROOMS
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel . The average number of items in the typical woman’s bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.
ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
SUCCESS
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
MARRIAGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn’t. A man marries a woman expecting that she won’t change, but she does.
DRESSING UP
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail. A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.
NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
OFFSPRING
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should forget his mistakes. There’s no use in two people remembering the same thing!

if the world was a top spinning
round and round,
out of control,
a mother's wise words
would be the hand that stopped it.
and all the tumbles tears messes scrapes
are a faded sepia memento of yesterday,
shot putted out of sight out of mind
by my mother,
the hurricane typhoon earthquake wonder woman.
she is the earth, the sky, the stars, the sun.
destruction and creation and anger and joy,
she stands tall through the ages.
i stand tall as her child,
her baby,
her darling.
"when you grow up,
you will change the world,"
said my mother.

LEIDEN, Netherlands, May 29 -- "Gaydar," the supposed innate ability of gay people to identify other gays even in a crowd, may actually exist, Dutch researchers say.
Dutch scientists said gay men and women in a study proved to be more detail-oriented and discerning than heterosexuals when focusing their attention on their environment, and this close attention to detail could help them detect the sexual preference of others.
"This is the first time that scientific proof has been found for the existence of a gaydar mechanism amongst homosexuals," researcher Dr. Lorenza Colzato of Leiden University in the Netherlands said. "This perceptual skill allows homosexuals to recognize other gay people faster and we think it's because they are much more analytic than heterosexuals."
More perceptive and detail-oriented people may be more likely to pick up on subtle clues in other people that they may be homosexual, the study found, which helps them search out gay friends and sexual partners.

FERNDALE, Mich., May 28 -- A Michigan woman who said she was left sleeping on a plane for 4 hours after it landed in Philadelphia is suing United Airlines, her attorney said.
Geoffrey Fieger said his client, Ginger McGuire, 36, of Ferndale, is suing for false imprisonment, infliction of emotional distress and negligence.
McGuire said she was left on the locked plane at Philadelphia International Airport after it arrived from Washington's Dulles International Airport shortly before 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, The Detroit Free Press reported Friday.
CNN said United and Trans States Airlines, the carrier that operated the flight, were investigating.
Fieger said McGuire was eventually discovered by a cleaning crew, but the crew locked her back in the plane and called for federal agents to question her.
"We are working closely with our partner, Trans States Airlines, to investigate the cause and remedy the situation with the customer," United Airlines spokeswoman Sarah Massier said.
Trans States Airlines officials could not be reached for comment, the Free Press said.

NEW YORK, May 26 -- A New York man who forgot to feed the parking meter after his daughter was born in the backseat of his van says he plans to fight the $35 ticket.
Orlando Caceres, 31, said his wife, Johanna Melo, 33, went into labor Tuesday morning in the family van while the parents were on their way to drop Caceres' two sons, two nephews and a niece off at school with the couple's 11-month-old son and Caceres' sister also in the car, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday.
Caceres said the baby was born in the backseat with the help of his sister, Vianca Caceres.
The parents said they arrived at Bronx-Lebanon Hospital and Caceres parked the car after paramedics helped Johanna and newborn Miah into the hospital. He said he forgot to feed the parking meter, resulting in a $35 parking ticket.
Caceres said he plans to fight the ticket and may bring Miah along to court in support of his story.

ELLENWOOD, Ga., May 26 (UPI) -- A Georgia woman ordered to write "I will not dishonor myself by passing a school bus" 2,500 times has asked for a jury trial rather than accept the sentence.
Nancy Nguyen, 19, of Ellenwood, was ordered by a Forest Park judge to write the sentence as well as perform community service, pass a defensive driving course and pay a $350 fine after the judge found her responsible for passing a stopped school bus in March, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Wednesday.
Nguyen said she will not copy the sentence 2,500 times because she passed the bus accidentally when two tractor-trailers blocked her view.
"I'm not going to demean myself and be demeaned by other people," Nguyen said.
The town solicitor for Forest Park said the writing sentence is common for drivers under the age of 21 who pass by stopped school buses.
Officials said the case has been transferred to state court.

A guy comes into a bar and asks the barman for twelve-year-old scotch. The barman thinks "This guy is pretty pretentious" and proceeds to pour him a drink of six-year-old scotch.
He gives it to the customer who takes a drink, exclaiming, "This isn't twelve-year-old scotch, this is six-year-old scotch"
The barman thinks, hey this guy knows what he's talking about, and the two of them get into a conversation about where the customer is from etc..
At one point an old guy, who was sitting at the other end of the bar comes over with a glass and hands it to the customer. The latter takes a drink, and spits it out.
"This is piss!" he yells.
The old guy nods and says, "Yeah, but how old am I?"

You lose arguments with inanimate objects.
You have to hold onto the lawn to keep from falling off the earth.
Your job is interfering with your drinking.
Your doctor finds traces of blood in your alchohol stream.
Your career won't progress beyond Senator from Massachusetts.
The back of your head keeps getting hit by the toilet seat.
You sincerely believe alchohol is the elusive 5th food group.
24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case - coincidence? I think not!
Two hands and just one mouth.. - now THAT'S a drinking problem!
You can focus better with one eye closed.
The parking lot seems to have moved while you were in the bar.
You fall off the floor..
Your twin sons are named Barley and Hops.
Hey, 5 beers has just as many calories as a burger, screw dinner!
Mosquitoes catch a buzz after attacking you.
At AA meetings you begin: 'Hi my name is.. uh..'
Your idea of cutting back is less salt.
You wake up in the bedroom, your underwear is in the bathroom, you fell asleep clothed.
The whole bar says 'Hi' when you come in..
You think the Four Basic Food Groups are Caffeine, Nicotine, Alchohol, and [Women or Men].
Every night you're beginning to find your roommate's cat more and more attractive.
Roseanne looks good.
Don't recognize wife unless seen through bottom of glass.
That damned pink elephant followed me home again.
I'm as sober as a judge.
The shrubbery's drunk from too frequent watering.
You wake up screaming 'TORO TORO TORO!' in the middle of the night.

"Yup, shore am!"
"How much does he weigh now?"

Two cannibals, a father and son, were elected by the tribe to go out and get something to eat. They walked deep into the jungle and waited by a path.
Before long, along came this little old man. The son said, "Ooh dad, there's one." "No," said the father. "There's not enough meat on that one to even feed the dogs. We'll just wait."
Well, a little while later, along came this really fat man. The son said, "Hey dad, he's plenty big enough." "No," the father said. "We'd all die of a heart attack from the fat in that one. We'll just wait."
About an hour later, here comes this absolutely gorgeous woman.
The son said, "Now there's nothing wrong with that one dad. Let's eat her."
"No," said the father. "We'll not eat her either."
"Why not?" asked the son.
"Because, we're going to take her back alive and eat your mother."
