CUTE YOUTUBE POSTING

Quite by accident during one of my browsing sessions, I stumbled upon a dainty offering on YOUTUBE. It is called "Six and a half loves -- chapter one : goodbye". I think the graphics are very pretty and the story is sweet but this is only chapter one. Wonder what will happen down the line?
I am including the link to it below. Place your cursor on the address and double click. Hope you like it and do comment.

EASTER

First of all, an apology to the blondes among you! My good lady wife, herself a blonde, passed the following to me. And may you all have a lovely Easter.

What Is Easter?

Three blondes die and arrive at the pearly gates of Heaven. St. Peter tells them that they can enter the gates if they can answer one simple question.

St. Peter asks the first blonde, "What is Easter?" The first blonde replies, "Oh, that's easy! It's the holiday in November when everyone gets together, eats turkey, and are thankful."

"Wrong!," replies St. Peter, and proceeds to ask the second blonde the same question, "What is Easter?" The second blonde replies, "Easter is the holiday in December when we put up a nice tree, exchange presents, and celebrate the birth of Jesus."St. Peter looks at the second blonde, shakes his head in disgust, tells her she's wrong.

He then peers over his glasses at the third blonde. He asks, "What is Easter?" The third blonde smiles confidently and looks St. Peter in the eyes, "I know what Easter is."

"Oh?" says an incredulous St. Peter. "Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish celebration of Passover. Jesus and his disciples were eating at the last supper and Jesus was later deceived and turned over to the Romans by one of his disciples. The Romans took him to be crucified and he was stabbed in the side, made to wear a crown of thorns, and was hung on a cross with nails through his hands. He was buried in a nearby cave which was sealed off by a large boulder."

St. Peter smiles broadly with delight. The third blonde continues, "Every year the boulder is moved aside so that Jesus can come out... and, if he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter."

Ouch!!

END OF COMPUTER COURSE -- FOR NOW ONLY, WE HOPE

To-day, April 1st, is our last gathering at the Galway Education Centre under the auspices of the Galway Retired Teachers Asociation. We have had a most enlightening, and enjoyable computer course under the tutelage of Mr. Speedie himself, the fountain of computer knowledge (and much else) Brendan Smith.
Brendan we will miss the weekly session with you but hopefully we will get together again sometime in the future. Have a good Summer and again míle buíochas.
