At Google Maps you can enter two cities and then click on Get Directions. Entering New York and London gives an interesting result. The answer says “3,938 mi (about 29 days 10 hours)” but there is a nice twist to it. There is a detailed description with 62 different steps. Number 23 is really nice, “Swim across the Atlantic Ocean 3,462 mi”.

I have a joke about The Buddhist Hotdog Vendor. Over at Funny Jokes I found another story about the hot dog business titled Hot Dog Vendor.

Finally some information about global warming that is easy to get. I wonder if Al Gore uses this…

Sometimes reality tops fiction. I got this one as a CNN Offbeat Alert.

BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) — A 43-year-old German decided to settle his imminent divorce by chainsawing a family home in two and making off with his half in a forklift truck.

Police in the eastern town of Sonneberg said on Friday the trained mason measured the single-storey summer house — which was some 8 meters (26 feet) long and 6 meters wide — before chainsawing through the wooden roof and walls.

“The man said he was just taking his due,” said a police spokesman. “But I don’t think his wife was too pleased.”

After finishing the job, the man picked up his half with the forklift truck and drove to his brother’s house where he has since been staying.

A professor of mathematics sent a fax to his wife. It read:
“Dear wife: You must realize that you are 54 years old and I have certain needs which you are no longer able to satisfy. I am otherwise happy with you as a wife, and I sincerely hope you will not be hurt or offended to learn that by the time you receive this letter, I will be at the Grand Hotel with my18 year old teaching assistant. I’ll be home before midnight. Your Husband”

When he arrived at the hotel, there was a faxed letter waiting for him that read as follows:
“Dear Husband: You too are 54 years old, and by the time you receive this, I will be at the Breakwater Motel with the 18 year old pool boy. Being the brilliant mathematician that you are, you can easily appreciate the fact that 18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into 18. Don’t wait up.”
