A CHALLENGE - FIND THE MAN IN THE COFFEE BEANS

THE TRICK IS TO FIND THE MAN IN THE COFFEE BEANS!!

This is bizarre...........after you find the guy...........it's so obvious.

Once you find him it's embarrassing............and you think "Why didn't I see him immediately?"
Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in the coffee beans in 3 seconds, the right side of your brain is better developed than in most people.
If you find the man between 3 seconds and 1 minute, the right side of your brain is developed normally.
If you find the man between 1 and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is developing slowly and you need to eat more protein.
If you have not found the man after 3 minutes, the advice is to look for more of this type of exercise to make that part of the brain stronger!!!

And yes, the man is really there!!

After you find the man in the beans, try this out on your brainy friends, especially the boastful ones!!

MY LONDON TRIP

We all went to London last week to join Peter and Laura for their conferring at the English Law Society and we stayed for the week-end. One of the other highlights was to go on the big wheel, the London Eye which gives a 360 degree view of the city. Immediately below is Waterloo Bridge over the Thames with the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben in the background.

Now a trip to London town would be nothing without Afternoon Tea at the famous RITZ!! Talk about the G HOTEL at home; it has a distance to go to catch up.

Why had we no money by the time we got home? Well the taxis didn't come cheap but shopping in the expensive emporium of Harrods set us back quite a bit. Even the bears were giant-sized!

We took some photos at the conferring at the Law Society. Guess who took the microphone?

No visit could be complete for Robert without meeting his London cousins and a stroll in St. James Park. What a gang when they get together!

PRECOCIOUS KIDS --- USA STYLE!

PROVERBIALLY YOURS

A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds , because the last one is a classic! (Thanks, Maeve Keane!)

SADNESS - MY VILLAGE IN DECLINE 2010

ECONOMIC DOWNTURN
Advertisements confirming the closedown of the flagship furniture outlet, Curleys, were received with dismay this week. The decrease in passing traffic due to the opening of the new Motorway, M6, is being blamed as a factor in the decision. This closure will leave a huge gap in the economic life of the area. Already there are To Let or To Lease signs in the windows of 8 premises, contributing to an air of decay in the village. There are 10 businesses still trading, though some would claim that turnover is considerably less. A bright spark on the horizon, though not in the sense of economic upturn, is the refurbishment and extension of the local Garda Station which is soon to be completed.
Here are some more empty buildings.........

PROFITABLE MATHEMATICS

MISSION TO MARS

NASA was interviewing professionals they were thinking of sending to Mars. The touchy part was that only one guy could go and it would be a one-way trip, the guy not ever returning to Earth.

The interviewer asked the first applicant, an engineer, how much he wanted to be paid for going. "One million dollars," the engineer answered. "And I want to donate it all to my alma mater – Rice University."

The next applicant was a doctor, and the interviewer asked him the same question. "Two millions dollars," the doctor said. "I want to give a million to my family and leave the other million for the advancement of medical research."

The last applicant was a lawyer. When asked how much money he wanted, he whispered in the interviewer' s ear, "Three million dollars." "Why so much more than the others?" the interviewer asked. The lawyer replied," You give me three million, I'll give you one million, I'll keep a million, and we'll send the engineer."

Sounds like "for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." ...

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN POT & PATIO PLANTS?

While listening to the radio this morning, I happened on a reference to a firm in Kilkenny that introduces new plants to Ireland. I have had a look at their website and they seem to specialise in pot and patio plants. Some of you may be interested in this so I am passing on some links you can visit to find out more.

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.
