If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock (NT) one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1000. With WorldCom (WCOM), you would have less than $5.00 left. If you had purchased $1000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left. If you had purchased United Airlines (UAL), you would have nothing left. But, if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, and then turned in the cans for recycling, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. This is called the 401-Keg Plan.

I realise the economy is in the shitter, but I found the advert amusing.

I think we've hit the limit of projecting winners now. Thanks Kevin for putting a smile on me face this morning.

My cousin related this conversation to me on IM today:

• Him: I had an appointment with the doctor yesterday.
• Me: Yeah?
• Him: Aye, he asked me if I was sexually active
• Me: You shitting me? He had to ask a stud such as yourself?!?
• Him: Indeed, but when asked, I responded "you jealous of how much play I be gettin, innit?"
• Me: Very good show, mate

Eh... where's the bubbly?

Please give a listen to the attached mp3.

Delta airways appears to want to operate in a world where gravity does not apply. Indeed, they opened their cargo door over Chicagoland and emptied out luggage at 9.8 m/s².

I suppose since the year's almost over, it's about time to roll out the top of the pops of 2007. First nomination, for best headline, goes to the BBC for Virgin co-pilot in alcohol arrest. Unassuming wit. As our favourite Kazakh would say: nice!
