The following are "Maxine'isms" some of which you may have seen before, some of which may be new to you.

Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety-one?

If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does that mean that one out of five enjoys it?

Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread to begin with?

If people from Poland are called Poles, then why aren't people from Holland called Holes?

If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

I never know how seriously to take Fulford, but some of the things he says are at least plausible (some turn out to be incorrect, too).  His take on the Malaysian airline shoot-down is interesting, to say the least.  So here is a recent post of his for what it may be worth:

There isn't really a catergory for this.  I've just put together some short stories I've written over some years.  Some are science fiction, bizarre, some historical imaginings.  Hard to put in a slot, but I hope they're basically fun.

This is a special day.  In numerology the day, month, and year are 7/7/7.

Hey everyone,

I don't have much cash to throw around but there are organizations that I want to support financially. So, I decided to leverage my 50th birthday and my network of friends to create a fundraiser through an organization called PlanG (short for planned giving).

For my birthday, I am asking friends/family not to buy gifts, but instead to donate to a tax-deductible fund (they get the tax deduction, so it's a gift that gives back) and I get to select the charitable organization(s) that will receive the money.

Great idea.  What other problems can we tackle with gaming and crowdsourcing?

Folks, Fred just sent out the below to his list.  And here is Robert David Steele on YouTube on the same subject: "Open Source Everything": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCnpe_bIsUI -- it's a WONDERFUL and hopeful presentation.  It's about Revolution.  And Steele pulls NO punches.  Real breadth and depth of clarity about where we're at and what we CAN do.  Points out the immense power that we the people have and don't realize it.
