This is why punctuation's important!

Everything's relative....
At last, an info graphic that illustrates what goes on in agencies….
This is so true…. If you work, or have worked in an agency, see how many of these actions you can identify with!
No wonder the English language is in decline….
I find it difficult to believe that the BBC of all institutions, have felt able to condone this abomination! But then again , maybe they simply haven't noticed! I saw this glaringly obvious mistake on a Top Gear simulator that was taking money from people outside the local shopping centre. The moral to this story is obviously, if you you need excellent English, make sure you get it from the same place the cognoscenti come to get their copy.
The dead cow lecture… or the need to pay attention!
This may be the best example of the need to pay attention that I have ever heard.
First-year students at the Purdue Veterinary School were attending their first anatomy class with a real dead cow.
They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered by a white sheet.
By way of a demonstration, the professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the cow's anus. Then withdrew it, and stuck his finger in his mouth. "Now go ahead and do the same thing." he said to his students.
When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and said, "The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger into this cow, but I sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention, because life may be tough, but it's even tougher if you're stupid."
First-year students at the Purdue Veterinary School were attending their first anatomy class with a real dead cow.
They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered by a white sheet.
Their professor that day, started the class by telling them, "In veterinary medicine it's necessary you have two important qualities to be a successful vet. The first is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the animal's body."
By way of a demonstration, the professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the cow's anus. Then withdrew it, and stuck his finger in his mouth. "Now go ahead and do the same thing." he said to his students.
They of course, totally freaked out. They hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took turns to stick a finger into the anus of the dead cow and then to suck on it.
When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and said, "The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger into this cow, but I sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention, because life may be tough, but it's even tougher if you're stupid."
The best website of the year so far!

I haven't stopped laughing for hours….
This is what I call creative writing!
This just about says it all…..
I am still incandescent with rage at George W…. and even more so with the total idiots that voted him in not once, but TWICE!
Please spare us from experiencing the same sort of political ineptitude again!
This is my kind of packing tape!
When someone demonstrates a little wry humour in manufacturing some everyday packing tape, I think it deserves some exposure…..
Amazing high fashion animated images....
It's sometimes difficult to find things that still blow you away when you see them, but these "high fashion" animated images do a pretty good job.
I'm not sure if the key to these is the selective and simplistic nature of the animation..... i.e. there's not much going on, so it tends to stand out more than normal.... but hey, they work for me!(PLEASE NOTE: The image should be moving now and again. If it's not, simply click on the image. It should open a slick little window with the animation working! Do it..... it's seriously good!)
