  1. For all of us who are married, were married, wish you were married, or wish you weren't married, this is something to smile about the next time you have a beer:

     

    Sam was driving home from one of his trips in Northern Saskatchewan when he saw an elderly Cree man walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, he stopped the car and asked the Cree man if he would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the man got into the car.

    Resuming the journey, Sam tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Cree man. The old man just sat silently, looking intently at everything he saw, studying every little detail, until he noticed a box on the seat next to Sam.

     

    "What in box?" asked the old man.

     

    Sam looked down at the box and said, "It's a case of beer. I got it for my wife."

     

    The Cree man was silent for another moment or two.

     

    Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, he said, "GOOD TRADE."

  3. Colossal squid may be headed for oven Thu Mar 22, 6:20 AM ET

     

     

     

    A colossal half-ton squid, believed to be the largest ever caught, may be destined for the microwave oven.

     

    But researchers say they don't want to cook the massive creature — just defrost it so they can study it better.

     

    Scientists at New Zealand's national museum, Te Papa Tongarewa, have taken possession of the beast that took fishermen two hours to land after it was netted by chance in Antarctic waters last month and was frozen soon afterward to preserve it.

     

    Expert Steve O'Shea said the squid had weighed in at 1,089 pounds and measured 33 feet long — heavier but shorter than initial estimates of 990 lbs and 39 feet.

     

    It appears to be by far the largest specimen of the rare and mysterious deep-water species Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, or colossal squid, ever caught.

     

    Experts say the creatures, which have long been one of the most mysterious denizens of the deep ocean, may grow even bigger — up to 46 feet long.

     

    O'Shea said scientists at the museum are considering using a giant microwave oven as a possible way to defrost the animal so they can study it.

     

    The mammoth squid could not be left to defrost at room temperature because the process would take days, leaving the outside to rot while the core remained frozen, he said.

     

    "There are certain microwave equivalents that are used by industry, for treating timber and the like, that we could probably fit this thing into," O'Shea said. "But that is just one option."

     

    At the time it was caught, O'Shea said it would make calamari rings the size of tractor tyres if cut up — but they would taste like ammonia.

     

    Colossal squid can descend to 6,500 feet and are known to be extremely active, aggressive hunters.

     

    O'Shea said the squid is priceless to scientists, and would be worth many millions of dollars if insured

  5. One day, a father gets out of work and on his way home he remembers it's his daughter's birthday. He pulls over to a toy store and asks the salesperson, "How much is the Barbie on display in the front window?" The salesperson answers, "Which one? We have Work-Out Barbie for $19.95, Shopping Barbie for $19.95, Beach Barbie for $19.95, Disco Barbie for $19.95 and Divorced Barbie for $265.95." The amazed father asks, "What? Why is the Divorced Barbie $265.95 and the others only $19.95?" The salesperson answers, "Sir, Divorced Barbie comes with Ken's car, Ken's house, Ken's boat, Ken's furniture, Ken's computer and one of Ken's friends."
