A Liger??????

What is a liger??It is the final product of crossing a male lion and a tigress. The liger is not to be confused with the tigon which the crossbreed of a male tiger and a lioness. The liger is the largest of all cats and extant felines. A liger looks more like a giant lion with diffused stripes and it is known that some male ligers grow sparse manes. These massive creatures are on average 10 feet long and weigh approximately 700 lb (320kg). The history of ligers dates to at least the early 19th century in Asia. A painting of two liger cubs was made by Michael Isasi (1772−1844). In 1825, G.B. Whittaker made an engraving of liger cubs born in 1824. The parents and their three liger offspring are also depicted with their trainer in a 19th Century painting in the naïve style. Ligers love swimming - trait common to tigers but lacking in lions. Ligers have been bred in captivity, deliberately and accidentally, since shortly before World War II. The largest non-obese liger alive today is appropriately named Hercules and lives in Jungle Island in Miami. Hercules weighing in at 900 lbs and eating approximately 20 pounds of meat a day is truly a beautiful giant.( The picture of the liger is Hercules and his trainer Dr. Bhagavan Antle)

Interesting Elephant facts

Elephants are large mammals well known for their intelligence and caring for each other. Elephants cry and laugh and are the largest animals that live on land. Elephants live long, between 60-70 years and the females have a gestation period (it is the carrying of an embryo or fetus inside a female viviparous animal) of 22 months which is the longest of any land animal. Elephant's musk has more than 100,000 muscle units and elephant poops around 80 pounds a day. It is known that elephants take a great care over dead bones of their family members. However, the idea of secret "elephant burial grounds" is nothing more than a myth. Interesting elephant fact is that periodically male elephants go through musth (Hindi for 'madness'), sometimes spelled 'must' in English or extremely aggressive sexual behavior. Musth in Persian means "intoxicated" and it is recorded that male elephant in musth has 60 times higher level of testosterone than in the normal elephant. Elephant male in the musth will kill and destroy everything in his path.

Finally something nice in the newspaper

Liz Bowles/Sun Journal
Zelmyra and Herbert Fisher have set a world record as the oldest living couple married the longest.


Francine Sawyer
Sun Journal Staff

A Craven County couple are in the Guinness World Records book.
The two did nothing outlandish such as sky-diving upside down, dancing for days, taking the longest lawn mower ride or having the most tattoos.
No, Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher of the Brownsville community have been married for more than 84 years. That is a feat in itself.
They have the world record of the longest marriage for a living couple.
They can thank their granddaughter Iris Godette for getting the recognition. She submitted the information to the Guinness Book of Records..
The information was apparently checked by Guinness and a certificate was given to the couple.
However, when you ask Herbert about the Guinness recognition, he just says, "Oh, Yeah?" The recognition has not changed their life.
He still looks at her with love and concern, as she looks toward him as if he will give her strength and guidance.
They have lived for more than 50 years in a house near the Coastal Carolina Regional Airport . They lived in James City before that but the land was purchased for apartments and the two moved.
Herbert was born June 10, 1905. His hearing is going but his mind is sharp. Zelmyra was born Dec. 10, 1907. She uses a walker to get around the house and yard. The two of them can still give their reasons for marrying on May 13, 1924.
"He was not mean; he was not a fighter," Zelmrya said. "He was quiet and kind. He was not much to look at but he was sweet."
Herbert said Zelmyra never gave him any trouble. "No, no trouble at all. We never argued, but we might have disagreed," he said.
Norma Godette, one of the couple's five children. said her parents have gotten along well through the years.
"One time, mama wanted to work. Daddy told her she could not work, that he could take care of the family. She slipped down to Cherry Point and got a job as a caretaker there," Godette said.
"Well, it was done; she got the job. I had to let it be," Herbert said.
Different religions did not tear the two apart. He is a member of Pilgrim Chapel Missionary Baptist Church . She is a member of Jones Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church . The churches are in James City , where they both grew up. For all of their married life they have attended their own churches. They go their own ways on Sunday morning.She reads the Bible daily...
The two watch television together. "We separate when the baseball comes on," Zelmyra said.
Herbert loves baseball, especially the Atlanta Braves. He also enjoys golf, because one of his son-in-laws plays the game.
They have no secret or sage advice as to why their marriage has lasted so long.
"I didn't know I would be married this long," Herbert said. "But I lived a nice holy life and go to church every Sunday.
"Yes sir, anything for her."
Zelmyra said Herbert was the only boyfriend she ever had. "We got along good," she said. "There was no trouble."
She said she is not tired of seeing him. "I didn't think I'd be married this long. He is quiet," she said.
Zelmyra said her husband had no annoying habits. They both said they shared the title of "boss."
The two sit on the porch and as a train goes by they count the cars. They also watch the neighbors who walk by.
"They were excellent parents," said Norma Godette. "We were poor, but we didn't do without a thing. If he had two cents he saved one cent."Herbert worked as a mechanic at the Coca-Cola Bottling Company in New Bern for 35 years.
He took a bicycle, caught a cab or had a neighbor drive him to work.
That hard work and savings put all five of the children through college.
Inside the house are plaques, letters of recognition, and awards that both the Fishers and their children received for accomplishments in civic duties and church.
The house where they raised their children has two sitting rooms and three bedrooms. Now that the children are grown, the Fishers enjoy having a bedroom for each. Herbert Fisher can stay up until the last ball is thrown in the ballgame he is watching. And he does.
Herbert makes his bed each day and sweeps his floor.
He also checks on his wife as she rests.
Between the rests, they enjoy their children, ten grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and nieces and nephews.
Both say that if they had it to do over, they would not change their life.

Three little ducks in a Bar..

'Say, what's your name?' the bartender asked the first duck.

'Huey,' was the reply.

'How's your day been, Huey?'


'Great. Lovely day. Had a ball. Be en in and out of puddles all day. What else could a duck want?' said Huey.

'Oh. That's nice,' said the bartender. He turned to the second duck, 'Hi, and what's your name?'


'Dewey,' came the answer from duck number two.

'So how's your day been, Dewey! ?' he asked.


'Great. Lovely day. I've had a ball too. Been in and out of puddles all day myself. What else could a duck want?'

The bartender turned to the third duck and said, 'So, you must be Louie?'

'No,' she said, batting her eyelashes.

'My name is Puddles.'

Smart Little Girl

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.' The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, 'What would you like to talk about?''Oh, I don't know,' said the stranger. 'How about nuclear power?' and he smiles.'OK,' she said. 'That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass- . Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?'The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?'

Economy's Effect in Jamaica

A man from the country part of Jamaica arrived at the Norman Manley
Airport in Kingston , burdened down by his luggage, passport, and all the necessary titbits for a prolonged journey.


Looking around anxiously he finally approached a ticket counter and told the agent: 'Please do, sell mi a ticket fi go a Jeopardy, Miss.'The agent looked confused. 'Jeopardy, Sir? Where is that?' she asked. The man, even more nervous and agitated replied: 'Mi nuh haf no time fi fool roun'. Jus' gi mi a ticket to Jeopardy.' The agent searched through her schedules and other directories. 'Excuse me, Sir, but there is no such place!


Are you sure that's where you want to travel?
'The man lost his temper and pounded his fist on the counter. Look, 'ooman. Mi done tell you already mi nuh have time fi waste.
Mi hear pon mi radio dis mawnin seh 900 jobs inna Jeopardy; so ah deh so mi want fi go, NOW!'

Obituary from The London Times‏

An Obituary printed in the London Times - Interesting and sadly rather

true.




Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has

been with us for many years.



No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long

ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.




He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:


- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;


- Why the early bird gets the worm;


- Life isn't always fair;


- and maybe it was my fault.



Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more

than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in

charge).


His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but

overbearing regulations were set in place.



Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a

classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch;

and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his

condition.



Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job

that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly

children.



It declined even further when schools were required to get parental

consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not

inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an

abortion.



Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and

criminals received better treatment than their victims.



Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a

burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.



Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to

realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot.



She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge

settlement.



Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by

his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son,

Reason.



He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;


I Know My Rights


I Want It Now


Someone Else Is To Blame


I'm A Victim



Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you

still remember him, leave a comment dedicated to him.

Free Barber

One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he goes to pay the barber and the barber replies: I am sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I am doing a community service. The florist is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open his shop, there is a 'Thank You' card and a dozen roses waiting at his door. A cop goes for a haircut, and he also goes to pay the barber and the barber replies: I am sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I am doing a community service. The cop is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open his shop, there is a 'Thank You' card and a dozen donuts waiting at his door. A Jamaican goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber and the barber replies: I am sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I am doing a community service. The Jamaican is, of course, very happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open his shop, guess what he finds there???? (You know it!!!) A dozen Jamaicans waiting for a free haircut...

Fly Air Jamaica!!!!!

A mother and her son were flying Air Jamaica from Montego Bay to Miami. The son (who had been looking out the window) turned to his mother and asked, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?"


The mother (who couldn't think of an answer) told her son to ask the stewardess. So the boy asked the stewardess, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?"


The stewardess responded, "Did your mother tell you to ask me?" The boy said, "Yes she did".

"Well, then, tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Air Jamaica always pulls out on time. "

Crocodile Pool

There was a man who had nuff riches ... big car, house on the hill, gal, money and odda ray ray ray.

Many men wished to be in his shoes. Since the rich man knew this, he took it upon himself to put some of these men on a little test for his riches.

Interestin Sex Facts

This was taken from www.funshun.com and comments added.

There are approximately 100 million acts of sexual intercourse each day.

The sperm count of an average American male compared to thirty years ago is down thirty percent.

An adult esophagus can range from 10 to 14 inches in length and is one inch in diameter.

Men sweat more than women. This is because women can better regulate the amount of water they lose.

The average amount of time spent kissing for a person in a lifetime is 20,160 minutes.

The condom made originally of linen was invented in the early 1500's. Casanova, the womanizer, used linen condoms. [Condoms made of linen were soaked in a chemical solution and allowed to dry before use. The cloths were sized to cover the glans of the penis, and were held on with a ribbon.]

Sex burns about 70-120 calories for a 130 pound woman, and 77 to 155 calories for a 170 pound man every hour.

Impotence is grounds for divorce in 26 U.S. states.

Kissing can aid in reducing tooth decay. This is because the extra saliva helps in keeping the mouth clean.

During the female orgasm, endorphines are released, which are powerful painkillers. So headaches are in fact a bad excuse not to have sex.

During World War II, condoms were used to cover rifle barrels from being damaged by salt water as the soldiers swam to shore.

According to psychologists, the shoe and the foot are the most common sources of sexual fetishism in Western society.

A kiss for one minute can burn 26 calories.

Me Nuh Know Ida

A young Jamaican University graduate from UTECH applied for an engineering position at a Kingston based firm. A Trini Engineer from UWI also applied for the job, and both applicants, since they had the same qualifications on paper, were asked by the Department Manager to take a test.

Upon completion of the test, the manager went to the Jamaican and said, "Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to give the man from Trinidad the job."

The Jamaican asked, "Suh why yu do dat? Bote a wi get nine questions rite. And dis is Jamaica,and me is Jamaican, so a me shoulda get de wuk!"

The manager said, "We have made our decision, based not on the correct answers, but rather on the question that you both missed."

The Jamaican asked, "An how in the name of Jesus yu decide sey one wrong answer betta dan de adda ?"

The manager replied, "Simple. The Trini put down "'I don't know" for question
5, and you put "Me nuh know ida".

The Bacon Tree

Two Jamaican badmen are walking through a rural area.

They're on the run from the police, and haven't eaten anything for days.

They see a tree in the distance, and as they get closer, they notice that it's draped with rashers of bacon, smoked bacon, crispy bacon, boiled bacon, grilled bacon, all sorts of bacon.

"Look deh!", says the first badman, "A bacon tree! And we ah dead fe hungry!"

So he starts to run toward the tree. As he gets close, he's gunned down in a hail of bullets.

He's lying wounded on the ground, and his friend shouts, "Wha'appen? Wha'appen? A who?"

The first badman replies, 'Nuh come yah man! A nuh bacon tree, is a ham bush!"
