Thought of the Day
Saturday, July 31st, 2010“Dear Lord, please help me to be the person my dog thinks I am.”
Ghost
Friday, July 30th, 2010A professor was giving a lecture on Paranormal Studies. To get a feel for his audience, he asks,
‘How many people here believe in ghosts?’
About 90 students raise their hands.
‘Well, that’s a good start. Out of those who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you have seen a ghost?’
About 40 students raise their hands.
‘That’s really good. I’m really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?’
About 15 students raise their hand.
‘Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?’
Three students raise their hands.
‘That’s fantastic. Now let me ask you one question further… Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?’
Way in the back, Muhammed raises his hand. The professor takes off his glasses and says
‘Son, all the years I’ve been giving this lecture; no one has ever claimed to have made love to a ghost. You’ve got to come up here and tell us about your experience.’
The Muslim student replied with a nod and a grin, and began to make his way up to the podium. When he reached the front of the room, the professor asks,
‘So, Muhammed, tell us what it’s like tomake love to a ghost?’
Muhammed replied, ‘Oh crap, from way back there I thought you said Goats.’
The Birth of a Hummingbird
Friday, July 30th, 2010Keep in mind the egg is smaller than a tic-tac and a quarter fits the opening of the nest! This is truly amazing.
Be sure to click on NEXT PAGE at the bottom of each page; there are 5 pages in all.
A lady found a hummingbird nest and got pictures all the way from the egg to leaving the nest. It took 24 days from birth to flight. Because you’ll probably never in your lifetime see this again, enjoy; and please share.

Stunning Images of Animals in the Womb
Friday, July 30th, 2010Using revolutionary four-dimensional scanning technology, scientists are able to shine a light on the hidden secrets of mammalian embryonic development. The film charts the fetal journey of three species of mammal – a litter of puppies, an elephant calf and a dolphin.
From conception through to birth, one thing becomes obvious – mammals undergo similar stages of development in the womb. In fact, in the early embryonic stages, it is not easy for the untrained eye to spot the difference between a dolphin, a dog, an elephant and even a human.
Elephant embryo at 11 weeks. Its limb buds and head are similar to that of a six-week-old human embryo. It is about 18 millimeters in size and weighs 1.5 grams.
The Asian elephant fetus (depicted here) is unique for its 22-month gestation period, the longest pregnancy of all mammals.
By 12 months the fetus looks perfectly formed.
At 12 months, an elephant fetus is an average of 18 inches long and weighs approximately 26 pounds. It can use its trunk, curling it right up into its mouth and over its head.
An elephant in the womb. This image is a model of a 19-month elephant foetus, almost full-term. The elephant is fully developed but will spend the remaining 3 months of gestation gaining 0.5 kilogrammes in weight each day.
Dog embryo at 30 days. It is approximately 2 centimetres in length – no larger than a grape. This is the dog embryo halfway through its gestation.
At 60 days in the womb, three days before birth, the puppy has developed a full coat of hair, with nails and paw pads, and the body is covered with touch-sensitive nerve endings.
Dog fetus at 60 days, nearly full-term. A full coat of hair, nails and paw pads are present.
Dolphin embryo at one month. It is around 1.5 centimeters long and has limb buds that it will lose as it develops. The heart is starting to beat.
At one month in the womb, dolphins develop tiny leg-like limb buds that vanish within two weeks, and the animals swim in amniotic fluid for the next 11 months of gestation.
