The lifeguard shouts up, "what are you doing up there?" I said, "A triple somersault with a pike'" ID: 1971631 ·

He was just starting to get a good rhythm going when a bug flew into the barn and started circling his head. Suddenly, the bug flew into the cows ear. The farmer didn't think much about it, until the bug squirted out into his bucket. It went in one ear and out the udder. ID: 1971632 ·

Due to some heavy handedness I need to tie some loose ends up. "await with bated breath" Something is fishy here. Shouldn't that be "baited breath"? No, he missed off the first letter a :-)) got moved to the limerick and pun thread Isn't Limerick a county next to TipsyMary? Or Tyler too? A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association).

I CUDA been a contender. BOINC is like modeling... it takes a lot of expensive silicon to have a nice RAC. I asked some of the top contributors what would be the best way to find intelligent extraterrestrials and they said I needed a good video card, so I got one. I ended up renting E.T., Contact and Close Encounters with it, so I guess they were right. A noted astronomer said that they are looking for extraterrestrial civilizations by searching for hot Dyson spheres. After giving the house a good clean with my Ball Vac, I found that it was rather warm. Should I advise NASA or the SETI Institute first? At first I thought BOINC was only for Apple Macintosh computers, as it requires at least one core. It must be true that aliens want to eat us if we can communicate with them in microwaves through dishes and a giant bowl. We finally discovered intelligent extraterrestrial beings. Coincidentally, they strongly resemble the platypus, an animal with both bird and mammal features. This made their communications complex and hard to analyze, but we soon figured out all we had to do was find the beak amplitude and dechirp with a fast Furrier transform.
