Texas Women

From the archives:

---

Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties. The first man had married a woman from Ohio and had told her that she was going to do dishes and house cleaning.

It took a couple days, but on the third day he came home to a clean house and dishes washed and put away.

The second man had married a woman from New Mexico. He had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes, and the cooking.

The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done, and there was a huge dinner on the table.

The third man had married a girl from Texas and her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal.

He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the third day some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, enough to fix himself a bite to eat and load the dishwasher.

To All

ALTO!

From landelli.com.mx, a 404 page that literally stops you in your surfing tracks.

Although, I think stop signs in Mexico say "ALTO" and also in Central and S. America.  The website is in Spanish, but I guess only stupid gringos like me click on broken links, hence the English 404 page.

Short and sweet, from How-To Geek. (hey, that rhymes)

The Streisand Effect

Did you know about the "Streisand Effect"? 

The term refers to the 2003 attempt by Barbara Streisand to keep photos of her home from being posted online. It is now used to describe the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide or remove a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely.
