Quick Thoughts * News * Interesting * FunnyDivorce : --thanks Aaron (via email)A man stuck on a deserted island stumbles onto a lamp. As he is rubbing the dirt off of
it a genie flies out of it and says "I will grant you three wishes, but first I must know your
marital status." The man says he is divorced. The genie says then his ex-wife will get
twice as much of what ever he wishes. The man says " Ok. For my first wish I want a
billion dollars." The genie gives the man a billion dollars and his ex-wife 2 billion dollars.
The man then says " For my next wish, I would like my own private jet." The genie gives
him a private jet, and his ex-wife two private jets. "And for my last wish I would like you
to beat me half to death." The man says. The genie then beats him half to death and his
wife is dead.

Task Force Sabre 7 ... found via Cao ... all of her Sabre 7 stuff here!Dunno about the text, but illusions are cool: (click for larger) The pictures attached are used to test the level of stress a person can handle.
The slower the pictures move, the better it is said is your ability of handling stress.
Alleged criminals that were tested see them spinning around madly; however, senior citizens and kids see them standing still.
None of these images are animated-they are perfectly static.
One teacher who used this test said, "I felt like they were all moving... but slowly. Kinda like, they were breathing."
