Murphy drops some buttered toast on the kitchen floor. It lands butter-side-up.
He looks at what he has done in astonishment, for he knows it’s a law of nature that
buttered toast always falls butter-down.
He rushes round to the presbytery to fetch the priest.
He tells the priest that he thinks a miracle has happened round at his flat.
He won’t say what it is but wants Fr Flannagan to see it with his own eyes.
He brings Fr Flannagan into the kitchen and asks him what he sees on the floor."
"“Well,” says the priest, “it’s pretty obvious what we have here. Someone dropped
some buttered toast, and then for some reason flipped it over so that the butter was
on top.”"
“No, Father, I dropped it and it landed like that.”
“Well,” Fr Flannagan says, “it’s certainly a natural law of the universe that dropped
toast never falls butter side up. But it’s not for me to say it’s a miracle. I’ll report the
matter to the bishop, and have him send people round, to interview you, take photos, etc.”
An investigation of some rigour is conducted, not only by priests of the archdiocese,
but by scientists sent from the Curia in Rome. The final ruling is a negative, however. it reads:
"“It was certainly an extraordinary event that occurred in Murphy’s room, quite
outside the normal run of the phenomena. Yet we have to be very cautious before
ruling any happening miraculous, ruling out all possible natural explanations. In this
case we have declared no miracle. For it possibly resulted from Murphy's having
buttered the toast on the wrong side.”
Our Evolution
Two minute history of the world
Thanks to Brian
Ever wanted to watch the entire history of the world compiled in one single
and short video?
If yes, then this video is the one that you were waiting for.
Take a look at it.
This outstanding video is compiled by a 19 year old student, Zack Hemsey,
for his video production class.
With the dramatic music from the movie Inception and fast moving images, it
just feels marvellous to go through the entire history in just 2 minutes and
10 seconds.
Undoubtedly he has done a commendable job, his research and editing is mind
blowing.
It's worth watching a couple of times ... excellent.

Tough questions!
Thanks to Ray O'.
DEAR ABBY..... ADMITTED SHE WAS AT A LOSS TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING: (See why ? )
Dear Abby,
A couple of women moved in across the hall from me. One is a middle-aged gym teacher and the other is a social worker in her mid twenties. These two women go everywhere together, and I've never seen a man go into or leave their apartment. Do you think they could be Lebanese?
Dear Abby,
What can I do about all the Sex, Nudity, Fowl Language and Violence on my VCR?
Dear Abby,
I have a man I can't trust. He cheats so much, I'm not even sure the baby I'm carrying is his.
Dear Abby,
I am a twenty-three year old liberated woman who has been on the pill for two years. It's getting expensive and I think my boyfriend should share half the cost, but I don't know him well enough to discuss money with him.
Dear Abby,
I've suspected that my husband has been fooling around, and when confronted with the evidence, he denied everything and said it would never happen again.
Dear Abby,
Our son writes that he is taking Judo. Why would a boy who was raised in a good Christian home turn against his own?
Dear Abby,
I joined the Navy to see the world. I've seen it. Now how do I get out?
Dear Abby,
My forty year old son has been paying a psychiatrist $50.00 an hour every week for two and a half years. He must be crazy.
Dear Abby,
I was married to Bill for three months and I didn't know he drank until one night he came home sober.
Dear Abby,
My mother is mean and short tempered I think she is going through mental pause.
Dear Abby,
You told some woman whose husband had lost all interest in sex to send him to a doctor. Well, my husband lost all interest in sex and he is a doctor. Now what do I do?

Artistry in the Cup
Thanks to David M.
Some People Should Never, Ever Quit Their Day Jobs
Kazuki Yamamoto is a Japanese barista who constructs eye-popping works of 3D art using just foam and coffee.
#14 Try Asking for One of These at Starbucks
Within the six years Yamamoto has been working at a coffee shop in Osaka, he's racked up more than 100,000 Twitter followers obsessed with his latte art.
#13 He's Like Picasso on Speed
Yamamoto must work quickly to satisfy customers' desires for a fresh cup of joe. He claims he completes each work of art in under four minutes, so the coffee is still hot when he serves it.
#12 Sometimes One Cup Is Not Enough
Some of his creations even climb out of their cups and reach out to others ( I'm afraid those fish are not long for this world…)
#11 Fans Say He's Also a Real Nice Guy
In the past, he's created latte portraits of his Twitter followers. This is Twitter fan Peter Harrison, before his latte transformation.
#10 And Here He is After:
(According to Mr. Harrison, the gift was a complete surprise.)
#9 He Uses Just a Spoon and Toothpick
Yamamoto says he uses two very common objects -- a spoon and a toothpick -- to create all of his art. He pours the foam in first, then uses the toothpick to paint with espresso and the spoon to create shapes.
#8 Come On In!
The water's...well, the water's actually coffee. But it sure is nice and toasty in here.
#7 The Philosophy Behind Ephemeral Art
Why bother creating a masterpiece if it's going to disappear down someone's throat? According to design philosopher Leonard Koren, ephemeral art has its roots in traditional Japanese aesthetics. Two Japanese concepts -- wabi-sabi and mono-no-aware -- hold that "many things are beautiful precisely because they are short lived."
#6 The Art of Nature
This is why the Japanese love the metaphor of cherry blossoms. "Because cherry trees blossom for only a week or two every year, when they do blossom, there is the emotional poignancy of knowing that it is only a temporary state of affairs," writes Koren.
#5 Speaking of Impermanence...
You could read this as a sad statement about the plight of the polar bear or you could gape in awe at Yamamoto's magnificent attention to detail.
#4 We Wish We Knew The Meaning Behind This One...
But, sadly, we don't watch enough anime. Here's one of the many, many Anime characters Yamamoto has painted.
#3 The Best Part of Waking Up?
It's finding a 3D foam cat in your cup!Amiright guys? Amiright?! Am I? …..Because I sort of accidentally dropped our cat in the coffee today. I, uh, I'm really sorry about that.
#2 Then There's This Amazing Giraffe
What better way to show off your over-the-top creativity than crafting a sculpture of the most vertical of creatures, the giraffe? I would have major guilt destroying this work of art in order to get my caffeine fix.
#1 Yamamoto's Dedication to his Craft is Inspiring.
His intricate and beautiful works of art remind us to find playful moments even in the most mundane of situations. They are truly joy in a cup.
