It is much easier to be critical than correct.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are America's most popular snack food.

Thanks to the 12th Amendment we won't have to put up with an ill conceived Hill and Bill, or Dick and Bush ticket.

Please use code tags around your code so it will retain the indentations!

You are also unpacking clist wrong, also
write() writes a string to file, so concatinate first.

The function sqrt(x) returns a float:

import math

x = 9
y = math.sqrt(x)

print y, type(y)  # 3.0 <type 'float'>

If you want the result to be an integer use int(y).

I saw this the other day.

Great find twomers!

A car driven with energy stored in compressed air makes sense. As the air expands it cools off, so city traffic should keep the city cool in the summer.

Conversely, as you compress air it heats up. In bigger air stations this heat can be used to heat homes and businesses. Now we need just a good source of electricity to power the compressor.

I wonder why the big car makers (other than India's Tata) are not interested in this?

I just made 700 posts! I am bringing out the champaign!

For people who always go downhill, a skate board is a good solution.

The salaries of CEOs are hight to attract the best person, that makes the best decisions for the company. If the company thrives, so do the workers.

There are exceptions of course.

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. “Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, ‘There’s Jennifer, she’s a lawyer,’ or ‘That’s Michael, He’s a doctor.’

A small voice at the back of the room rang out, “And there’s the teacher, she’s dead.”

The phonemes for Professor Stephen Hawking's computerized voice were recorded by Michael Jacobs, who is now on trial for the murder of his wife. A spokesperson for Hawking says that he has no plans to alter his voice, even if Jacobs is convicted.

My guess:
Obama and Ted Kennedy for the Dems

McCain and Colin Powell for the Reps

An attorney was sitting in his office late one night, when Satan
appeared before him. The Devil told the lawyer, "I have a
proposition for you. You can win every case you try, for the
rest of your life. Your clients will adore you, your colleagues
will stand in awe of you, and you will make embarrassing sums of
money. All I want in exchange is your soul, your wife's soul,
your children's souls, the souls of your parents, grandparents,
and parents-in-law, and the souls of all your friends and law
partners." The lawyer thought about this for a moment, then
asked, "So, what's the catch?"

Not too many people use the PyQt GUI toolkit, because of licensing problems. My guess is that your installation went wrong, or you misspelled something, imports are case sensitive.

You find all the answers in the Bible!

Why would you need a nukilar shield there?

Naw, I'm talking about reality. No fiction crap.

Be careful here, 50 million Americans believe in this fiction. May God be with you in the final hours.

Old games are fun! God bless you Dude!

Hmm, wonder what a nukilar shield is?

Josh, are you talking about Armageddon? The final climactic battle between Jesus and the forces of righteousness, and Satan also known as the Devil or axis of evil.

Hockey, I couldn't live without it!

Just my name!

Dave, which part are we supposed to laugh about?

Snow White received a camera as a gift. She happily took pictures of all the Dwarfs and their surroundings. When she finished the first batch, she took the film to be developed. After a week or so she went to get the finished photos. The clerk said the photos were not back from the processor.

She was very disappointed and started to cry.

The clerk, tried to console her and said, "Don't worry. Some day your prints will come."

I agree with you, I think that sort of junk food causes brain damage.

OMFG OMFG OMFG CLOWN ALERT CLOWNSSSSS!

I hate clowns, they are really scary!!!

Ronald McDonald wasn't that bad! He helped a lot of children.

Obama needs to select a running mate that will help with the "weak on defense" perception.

I'm thinking Richard Perle.

Hehe, very funny! I assume Donald Rumsfeld would be available too! On the Republican side McCain should pick somebody wiser and older. Maybe Nancy Reagan?

There is something misanthropic about cars that run on food. I can just see some rich jerk running a car on steak and eggs.

How is it possible to have a civil war?

If you think it is safe in your head, think again! That's what waterboarding (and a few other authorized tricks) is for. That will get a few things out of you that you haven't even thought off.

An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men, the boy didn’t really know what he wanted to do, and he didn’t seem too concerned about it.

One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy’s room and placed on his study table four objects:

a Bible
a silver dollar
a bottle of whiskey
and a Playboy magazine

"I’ll just hide behind the door," the old preacher said to himself, "when he comes home from school this afternoon, I’ll see which object he picks up."

"If it’s the Bible, he’s going to be a preacher like me and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he’s going to be a businessman, and that would be okay, too. But if he picks up the bottle, he’s going to be a no-good drunkard, and, Lord, what a shame that would be. Worst of all, if he picks up that magazine he’s gonna be a skirt-chasing bum."

The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son’s footsteps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room, he spotted the objects on the table.

With curiosity in his eye, he walked …

Well, my dad is a very successful lawyer and has helped a lot of people in his life. Something he and I are proud off. Looks like this thread is more about envy, by folks who have an unsuccessful and poorly paying job.

Hey Lardmeister, the reason there are lawyer jokes is that the lawyers laugh at them the hardest!

Did you hear about the terrorists who took a whole courtroom full of lawyers hostage?

They threatened to release one every hour until their demands were met.

Pepperridge Farm Milano Mint cookies sand coffee with milk
Pinto beans are on the stove
They are done but I want the liquid to reduce a little bit more.

Speaking of Vodka: Try the OSpray Organic Cranberry Blueberry juice, fantastic alone or with enhancement. The Pomegranate Blueberry is perfect for gin, but vodka might be good as well.

Ahh, Pepperridge Farm cookies! Have to try the Pomegranate Blueberry Gin mix.

Right now I am just happy with some cheetos.

Well, it's a market. Some other stall offers cheaper goods, people will buy there. That's about all the logic there is.

Not totally true, in this market you most often have to sell something first before you can buy.

Well, I have over 600 post and the proud title of "Practically a Master Poster"

Just throw a bunch of "lols" in and you will be there in no time!

And then they snicker because they know you will nick yourself on the knives all the time :P

I guess a dishwasher is used for cleaning and not for perfect safety.

I heard that President Reagan slept thorough a lot of staff meetings. I guess, if you have a well oiled staff, you can be of any age.

It might just turn out that the president that sleeps the most will be the best!

Maddie, our cook, told me that she has a salmon fillet on a spinach bed in the oven. She will serve that with skinny mashers and a babeurre caper sauce. Yumm!

My God Lardmeister, you are making me drool!

It will be pasta in the form of long, thin strings, cooked by boiling and served with a tomato basil sauce for me. As an extra, I will throw a few cow meat balls over the top.

The manual that came with my dishwasher says to put the utensils in handle down for the best cleaning action.

there are things in the sky that are at some stage unidentified, these are UFOs.
Once they are identified (as they invariably are) they're UFOs no longer.
So yes, there are UFOs but no, they're not extraterrestrial spaceships.
And yes, there's likely life on other planets but no, they're not going to come here to snoop around.

My friends and I witnessed a UFO once, but then they found out that is was just a bunch of Martians in their spaceship snooping around.

I got married on Valetine's Day so my husband would remember our anniversary. Now I have to remind him when Valentine's Day is.
