Good Time Everyday


Dear Tony,
How are you? The weather is very cold in Meizhou these days. How about American? I miss you very much, I hope you can remember me too.
Are you planning to come back Meizhou? This friday, we all go to have our internship for two months. This is the first time for us to be the teachers. For one hand, I'm excited to be a teacher in a junior school in my hometown, for another hand, I'm afraid I am not good enough to be an excellent English teacher.However,I will try my best to be a good teacher!
Please give my besh wishes to your family! Good luck and have a good time everyday!
 
Cherry

Music Multitask


I stopped carrying my iPod. I'll put it in my bag and listen while I'm reading a newspaper or having coffee, but I won't listen as I walk or talk or work. It got disgusting.

Since I quit, I notice little things like songs' lyrics or composition--you know, the song itself. When I had all that music there all the time, it lost all it's magic. A new album just isn't the same when I listen to it on the way to work, the way back from work, working out. It isn't special when I don't have to take a second and pay attention.

Or maybe I'm just not capable of musical multitasking.

Pong Pummeling


On my computer, 4000 photos that take up 9.3 gigabytes. My 8000 songs take up 46 gigabytes and could provide more than 25 days of continuous listening.

I get my email, news, weather reports, entertainment, gas prices, word definitions and synonyms from my computer. I stitch together photos, keep students' grades, do research, schedule appointments, keep track of contacts, watch movies, write, edit photos, burn cds, and chat with friends on my computer.

Yet I only truly came to appreciate the power of this metal box when I received a sound 5 to 1 whooping in a simple game of Pong. This thing blows my old neighbor's ATARI 2600 away.

Igor's Joke of the Week


The question to people from all parts of the world:

Tell us, please, honestly your opinion on how to solve the problem of shortage of food in other countries.

West Europeans did not know what a "shortage" was.
East Europeans did not know what "honestly" meant.
Latin Amewricans did not know what "please" meant.
Chinese did not know what "opinion" meant.
Middle Easteners did not know what "to solve the problem" meant.
Africans did not know what "food" was.
And Americans did not know what "other countries" were.

Jules of the Sea


Not even a week ago, Japanese scientists reported recording a giant squid on film in the sea south of Japan. Reporters likened the milky images to the massive mollusk described by Jules Verne in his "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."

Today, US scientists released an image of a glowing spot in the Indian Ocean the size of Connecticut. Sailors have reported these "milky spots" for centuries. The latest and only well-documented appearance was on January 25, 1995 in the Indian Ocean east of Somalia. Only last week, a US Naval Laboratory scientist tracked down satellite images of the occurrence, which again elicited thoughts of Jules Verne. Turns out old Captain Nemo himself encountered these same milky seas in the same Indian Ocean.

Yeah, right.

These liberal, atheistic scientists care about only two things: corrupting children with their nonsense evolution talk, and making themselves famous with "discoveries" and whatnot. And they'll make up stuff to do either.

Don't be surprised if next week they tell us that there's some sort of passage between the Mediterranean and Red Seas. Maybe that there rocket ships that take people to the moon. Or, better yet: the government has some sort of boats that can travel completely under water. These people can't even come up with something original, so they steal stuff from old books.

Scientific gobbledygook.
