Check out those crazy e-mails to see if they're truth or fiction:

I got a good chuckle out of this. It's This Land Is Your Land performed by Bush and Kerry.

I found one of theeeeeeeeee coolest websites...

Definately a 'must see' :-)

It's a site where you choose your local 'group' (mine is Spokane) and give away anything you want to get rid of and request things you might need. Wish I had more time I could fill half the requests on my local group! :-)

Check it out!


link://www.freecycle.org


for the first time in my life I have *literally* zero income (scary stuff)
... been in desperate need for carpet so I can rent out my duplex ... I'm betting I'll have some in the next day or two via this site woohoo:-)

Wish me luck :-) I already hooked someone up with a new printer and someone with a vid card and so on.

If I had more time I could fill quite a few of the 'needed' requests ...

If a few of you join up I think it'd be fun to start a thread sharing what we've given away and gotten on that site.. (like the thread we had on the cancer research site...)

Darn it...I couldn't find the thread I was looking for (which is funny considering the nature of this link)...so I'm putting it here.

Does anyone know of a website that I can find answers for International Business Culture?

Here is an example of three of the fifty questions I need to answer:

1. Is it rude to interrupt a conversation with a Brazilian?

2. Business dress in Germany is (a) casual (b) conservative (c) very conservative

3. Is it rude to cross your arms while facing someone in Turkey?

Carolinakisses, I would try posting this is the The only Dumb question is the one not asked thread. I found a few though...

Business Culture Guides
Dpind Business Worldwide
International Business Etiquette and Manners

There's a lot more- I just did a search for International Business Etiquette and for International Business Customs. You might also want to look at more general etiquette guides for specific countries.

Mt. St. Helens Volcano watch
Since we in the Northwest are being told every five minutes that she might blow again, I'm betting this site has LOTS of viewers. :-)

You can also follow the links to get topographical maps of all the various earthquakes, along with their richter scale rankings, depth, and location. It's pretty interesting stuff, actually. :-)

Click on the TownSquare cam, and the Shootout cam, and enlarge them, so they'll refresh, automatically. I put them both up, at once.
The cams are located at each end of a main street, and it's fun to watch people, traffic, the stagecoach, and the staged "shootout." If it isn't going to rain, a store owner rolls out the stuffed buffalo:-) There's a group street sale, every Saturday morning. I'm awaiting winter, to see if it's still the place I want to be. So wonderfully "Mayberry."

I love this thread, and am always looking for somewhere new to travel to on the internet. Some of my favorites right now are Actionquiz.com, a cute little trivia game; brainbout.com, an interactive live trivia game;and pervertedjustice.com, which is not so funny and lighthearted, but one I heard about on Dateline--the NBC news show--where average citizens get into chat rooms and trick guys who are after kids into revealing themselves, and then are put up on the site picture, name and all.

airlinemeals.net

Airline Meals

Photos, descriptions, ratings of airline food... everything from pretzels and a cup of soda to first class meals and foreign foods I've never seen or heard of. I'm also looking at the photos to see which camera they were using since I'm shopping for one, but really ummm... I'm just wasting time.

This site has a VAST collection of films and movies that are in the public domain....including stuff like the original "Duck and Cover" film, lots of hygiene, sex ed, and emotional and social maturity "training films". (Many of these types are in the "Prelinger archives" section of the website)

It even has feature films that are in the public domain, such as "Reefer Madness" and "Night of the Living Dead"!

And it's all FREE!

SFJF I LOVE that site. I downloaded a bunch of sex ed films for something I was working on. I loved "Boys Beware" and the 50s ones about puberty.

I have tears (of laughter!) pouring down my face as I type:

You enter a website -- any website -- and it will translate the entire page into Engrish. Way. Too. Funny.

I'm not posting this with the intention of being offensive, and I hope I haven't offended anyone.

Sanfran...words fail me....almost. Of course the kids wouldn't have gotten it, and not many parents watch this junk with the kids. No wonder they got away with it.

I'm not convinced that's real. It looks real in every way, although the quality isn't good, so there's a possibility it was dubbed. Was "Rainbow" shown here? I watched it as a child in England and it was on after school, around tea time, when parents were around. I really think if they showed that episode it would have been caught and there would have been uproar! Perhaps the cast did it for a prank for a party or something? I've no idea, but my gut feeling is that they would have never got away with showing it.

I do remember the Jim Davidson show with Zippy, the f word was cut, the clip there must have been a rehearsal or the uncut footage. That definitely wouldn't have made it onto a show that was on at 7pm on Saturday night. The rest of the innuendo would have passed ok.

Did you have "The Magic Roundabout" here? That was for kids but had a stoned rabbit on it called Dylan (after Bob Dylan). No child knew the rabbit was stoned though, I just thought he was sleepy!
