Contractors should definitely take a little time off after enjoying Ayahuasca tourism.

Gilbert drew a lot of neighborhood attention with his science fair project of creating a miniature black hole!

Executive: We need to also cut a couple of Explosives Engineers. It's sad, but we don't need them any more.

"China Closet Collectables" Online Purchase Mediation Details

Janet has now promised PayPal that she will, in future, always review carefully the shipping charges prior to bidding/buying any new objet d'art off of Ebay. The seller has agreed to always include explicit units and hints of scale in the pictures of creations he offers. NorthAmerican Van Lines have agreed to cease night time deliveries without first contacting the recipient. The arbitration mediator has collected an amount similar to the delivery charge. Janet has posted a "my loss is your gain: One Time Only($1 Starting Bid) SuperGraphics Object" for sale on Ebay in her "China Closet Collectables" online storefront with this picture of the item. There are lots of "watchers" of the item but to date there are no bidders, probably due to the shipping estimates.

Hoovering Hovering Kibbles in Bits

Cleopatra, Mrs. Adams' tiny carnivorous plant, she bought last year on her Amazon river cruise exhibits an amazing growth spurt after being placed in a window behind a hummingbird feeder. The Adams' have been on an extended vacation this year enjoying a "once in a lifetime" Nile river cruise. Their neighbors have been searching for their Great Dane since just before the Adams' return. They all recoil as Cleopatra lunges for Jason. Nimble Jason grabs a large collar stuck in Cleopatra's mouth and wacks the plant with it causing Cleo to retract. Looking at the collar confirms their suspicions about the fate of their beloved Great Dane.

Hello Police? My neighbor has the Speaker of the House!

I mean he turned his entire house into a giant speaker and he is playing Abba at full volume! I think he's trying to communicate with his teenage kids. They're standing in front with their earbuds in.

Oh, you say it's not the Speaker of the House, it's actually the House of the Speaker? Thanks for clarifying that.

I've always wondered what a black hole does to the foundation of space-time, so I figured I would see what it did to the foundation of my house and draw analysis from that. I never thought it would be so scrutinized...

It's all fun and games until someone divides by zero.

Although, as an Engineer, I enjoy providing a rebuttal to that meme that shows that I *CAN* divide by zero, or more specifically can determine what a particular division by zero event is supposed to mean BEFORE the algorithm attempts the "forbidden operation" and set up end run conditions to skip the division and just provide the answer, since the result will be one of four cases: 0, 1, infinity, or "hey stupid, you screwed up with your math, this shouldn't have happened."

Giving up on catching the roadrunner...Wile E. Coyote use his particular set of skills and begins creating art installations.

He now eats roadrunner in the fanciest of restaurants.
