As well as writing approximately 500 novels and many articles and essays, prolific and now legendary science fiction author Isaac Asimov somehow found the time to work for The Horn Book Magazine - a well regarded publication in which he reviewed and commented on science books - for nine years. The following letter, written by Asimov to then Horn Book editor Ruth Hill Viguers following a pay increase, perfectly illustrates his passion for the craft and is an example of why he will always be remembered as a man of morals and a perfect gent.

Quote:
ISAAC ASIMOV
WEST NEWTON 65
MASSACHUSETTS
02165

28 November 1964

Mrs. Ruth Hill Viguers
The Horn Book, Inc.
585 Boylston Street
Boston, Mass., 02116

Dear Mrs. Viguers,

It is very good of you to increase my payment again. As you know, I have never asked for an increase or even hinted that an increase might be in order for I know that The Horn Book is not a vast money-making concern and because my return for the work I do is, in any case, chiefly the pleasure of my association with the good people of the magazine.

Consequently, I hope you will be able to assure me, for the sake of conscience, that this increase (from an original payment of $25 to the present one of $65) does not seriously affect the magazine budget, and --- if it turns out that the general prosperity of the magazine is increasing --- that others are also sharing in the benefits and that I am not receiving favored treatment.

Yours,

(Signed)

Asimov
The original letter

Lebanese chefs gathered in Beirut, Lebannon, to set a new Guinness record for the world’s biggest tabbouleh salad.
In an attempt to declare proprietorship over the popular Middle-Eastern salad, Lebanese cooks prepared the largest Tabbouleh salad in history, on Sunday, October 25. The three tons dish contained massive amounts of chopped tomatoes and parsley, but the hungry audience made short work of it. The previous Guinness record for the biggest Tabbouleh was held by Israel.

This puzzled the doctors and some even thought that it had to do with the supernatural: Why did death occur at that same bed around the same time every Friday?


So the doctors decided to go down to that particular ward to investigate the cause of the deaths.



Come Friday morning, everyone at the hospital ward nervously waited for the terrible phenomenon to occur again. The new (unknowing) patient laid there.


Some doctors held wooden crosses, prayer books and other holy objects to ward off evil...and they waited.


8am, the patient was still alive...


8.30am...still breathing...


Just before the 'cursed' time, the door to the ward swung open...


Then Ah Soh, the part-time Friday cleaner, comes in and unplugs the life support system so that she can use the vacuum cleaner! ]]> Jokers Club Kimi http://www.funenclave.com/jokers-club/supernatural-power-33021.html <![CDATA[Hard & Fast Reply...]]> http://www.funenclave.com/jokers-club/hard-and-fast-reply-33020.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:44:08 GMT A young naval student was being put through the paces by an old sea-captain.

The chosen project for the station presents itself to the exterior like a simple elevated box that almost disappears behind a façade that appropriates it’s context in a game of reflections, floating over the maneuver and tank-truck area, this last one extends towards the street or incorporates the urban space while generating it throughout the analyses of the truck movements. Inside the chromed box, both uses alternate and complement each other, organizing themselves through planes with perforations that vary in size providing light sources as well as communication between floor levels, as well as the classic steel tubes where the firemen slide down during an emergency. That way, making them share space thanks to the crossed sights in the patios, but without mixing them, the proposed solution achieves to intertwine both uses – the station and the so called, curiously, bomberoteca (library for fire men)—also connecting them, thanks to the height of the first level, to the street and whatever happens there. Once built the fire station, and emergency call will come and you can watch with delight the complete and complex performance of this urban piece that takes the most needed urban equipment as a reflection and architectural action theme.

Through her tears she explains that she was upset... Dorothy was very upset because her husband Albert had just passed away.

She goes to the mortuary to look at her dearly departed, and the instant she sees him she starts wailing and crying.


One of the attendants rushes up to comfort her. Through her tears she explains that she was upset because Albert was wearing a black suit and that it was his dying wish to be buried in a blue suit.

The attendant apologizes and explains that they always put the bodies in a black suit as a matter of course, but he'd see what he could do.


The next day, Dorothy returns to the mortuary to have one last moment with Albert before his funeral the following day. When the attendant pulls back the curtain, Dorothy manages to smile through her tears as Albert is now wearing a smart blue suit.


She asks the attendant, "How did you manage to get hold of that beautiful blue suit?"


"Well, yesterday afternoon after you left, a man who was about your husband's size was brought in, and he was wearing a blue suit. His wife explained that she was very upset, as he had always wanted to be buried in a black suit," the attendant replied.


The woman smiled.

He continued: "After that, it was simply a matter of swapping the heads around".

Three patients in a mental institution prepare for an examination given by the head psychiatrist.

If the patients pass the exam, they will be free to leave the hospital. However,

if they fail, the institution will detain them for seven years.


The doctor takes the three patients to the top of a diving board overlooking an empty swimming pool, and asks the first patient to jump.

The first patient jumps head first into the pool and breaks both arms.

Then the second patient jumps and breaks both legs.

The third patient looks over the side and refuses to jump.

"Congratulations! You're a free man. Just tell me why didn't you jump?" asked the doctor.

To which the third patient answered, "Well Doc, I can't swim!"
