New Jogging Bra‏

Dr. Calvin Rickson, a scientist from Ohio State University, has invented a bra that keeps women’s breasts from jiggling and prevents the nipples from pushing through the fabric when cold weather sets in.

At a news conference, after announcing the invention, a large group of men took Dr. Rickson outside and kicked the shit out of him.

Thanks BM!

The $2.99 Special

We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the ‘seniors’ special’ was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $2.99.

‘Sounds good,’ my wife said. ‘But I don’t want the eggs.’

‘Then, I’ll have to charge you three dollars and forty-nine cents because you’re ordering a la carte,’ the waitress warned her.

‘You mean I’d have to pay for not taking the eggs?’ my wife asked incredulously.

‘YES!!’ stated the waitress.

‘I’ll take the special then,’ my wife said.

‘How do you want your eggs?’ the waitress asked.

‘Raw and in the shell,’ my wife replied. She took the two eggs home and baked a cake.

DON’T MESS WITH SENIORS!!!

We’ve been around the block more than once!
Thx Betsy!

ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST DANGEROUS AIRPORTS

MADEIRA, PORTUGAL

If landing in Madeira a few years ago was synonymous with ‘dread’ due to the size of the ‘mini’ runway, nowadays you can sit relaxed while the pilot makes the final landing manoeuvres.

You can be at ease today because on the 15th of September 2000 Madeira Island inaugurated one of the biggest constructions ever executed in the region, amounting to a total investment of about 520 million Euros.

Madeira’s new Intercontinental Airport, boasting a runway of 2781 m length, has given the island a new image for the new millennium. The new airport capacity is 3.5 million passengers/year and all types of passenger aircrafts are now able to land and take off from this airport.

To extension of the runway by one kilometre was one of the most ambitious constructions on the island, especially if one considers that the pillars of the runway measure in total 120 metres, 60 m above and 60 m under sea level. The old runway was turned three degrees to the north to assume what is now its final position.

This new runway extension was built over the ocean. Instead of using landfill to construct the extension, the runway sits on 180 columns that are 70 meters tall. After it was completed, the Madeira Runway extension won the Outstanding Structures Award by the International Association of Bridge and Structural Engineering. This is considered the “Oscar” for engineering structure in Portugal. The new runway is widely celebrated as a great feat in architecture due to its sheer size and the amount of labor it took to erect it.
