lumberjim 11-13-2006 12:03 AM

that's surprising. i've seen that as compared to american incomes, but it's a bit more staggering vs. the world.

xoxoxoBruce 11-13-2006 03:08 AM

Yeah, compared to the world, if you have a PC and internet connection to go to that site, you're rich. ;)

I'm the 357,078,374 richest person on earth!
Humbling thought.
I work with pharmacists & GPs who are on 2 to 5 times my salary and often part of a working couple (ie their household income can easily be 6 times mine). I've felt like the poor relation for a long time - the only one who waits for payday, who can only buy treats the first week of the month etc.

I do give to charity (monthly straight from my bank account) but perhaps I should look at the bigger picture and give what I can, which is more.

On a happier note, I've sent the penguin to my Dad (still recovering knee operation) and my ex colleague currently waiting for job interview results. Hey - we do what we can to cheer up the world!

"Test your musical skills in 6 minutes!"
Supposedly diagnoses tone-deafness. According to this, I got 83.3% right, and have "excellent musical abilities" :right:

glatt 11-14-2006 10:58 AM

Neat test. I got a 66.7%. It seemed like more of a memory test to me than a test of tone-deafness. But what do I know? Maybe if I had perfect pitch, it would be easier to remember those longer tunes.

Some funny stuff

Example:

Five ideas I’ve had for family theme restaurants
November 13th, 2006

1)B.F. Skinner’s Original Stuffers - The poultry skin of your choosing is stuffed with a la carte selections from “th’ fixin’s bar,” deep fried to a golden brown, and served with your choice of fun “Dippin’” sauces.
2)Bobby B. Butterworth’s Old Fashioned Dairy Funshack - A frozen quarterpound stick of salted creamery butter is hand-battered, “flash fried,” and served with your choice of fun “Dippin’” sauces.
3)Long John Silvers’ “Dripper” Hut - Offshoot of the fast-food seafood franchise offers “mini-buckets” of their leftover fried shortening flecks, served with your choice of fun “Dippin’” sauces.
4)Mouth Meat Mel’s - 450º pizza — sure to immediately scald the roof of your mouth — is served with your choice of fun “Dippin’” sauces. (note: first-time members of “The Mel’s Mouth Meat Makers” receive a colorful “I damaged the delicate tissues of my mouth at Mel’s!” adhesive ribbon)
5)Dippin’ Dippin’ Dippin’! - The “Dippin’” sauce of your choice is served with your choice of fun “Dippin’” sauces.


Another:

Five terrible fake scripts from a notional fourth season of Gilligan’s Island
June 15th, 2006

1)Ginger gets badly hooked on coconut-based diet pills
2)Gilligan quietly begins surreptitious relationship with Mary Ann’s cut-offs
3)Mr. Howell acquires Skipper in stock-only buy-out
4)Intact Coast Guard ship lands in lagoon; Professor disassembles parts to construct ersatz wooden “rescue telephone”
5)Cousin Oliver arrives, reviving the tired franchise with his inspired island mayhem


For all you musician types, there are good ones for you as well. Check it out!

interesting - anything over $201,000 doesn't change your ranking from 107,570

I just occurred to me, even if they cut all the offensive scenes, or scrap the project for that matter, there is a fortune to be made in marketing every inch of it, underground. I'll bet it's already been copied more than once.

That's just an afterthought and has no bearing on the crimes already committed. :mad:

I love this site. It's got the only real mention of my Uncle Joe's airfield on Long Island that I've seen. He owned/ran Zahn's airport for years before retiring (scroll down to see a picture of Joe Zahn, my grandmother's brother.) It was always fun visiting him. He had a big house on a canal/waterway. We'd visit and he's take us out on his big boat onto the sound. I never got a tour of the airport, but he was big into flying. Had a cabin up in the Adirondacks decorated with old wooden propellers. He was a great guy and had cool toys to show us kids.

xoxoxoBruce 12-16-2006 09:13 AM

That's pretty interesting, glatt. Starting in the 30s and building up to....
Quote:

The business expanded, and Zahn's Airport became at the time the largest privately airport in America.......
.....It eventually grew into the region's largest general aviation airport, with more than 200 resident aircraft & helicopters.

A 1953 article in Flying Magazine described Zahn's Airport as having a 4,200' paved runway, which was described as "handling DC-3s with ease."
The airfield had a total of 35 T-hangars & two larger concrete hangars. Two more concrete hangars (described as "being large enough to house four DC-3s) were under construction, as was a 3,000' east/west runway & runway lights.

A National Guard unit had 40 L-19s & two Navions based at Zahn's, and it had a new hangar under construction for 10 helicopters which were planned to be based at Zahn's.

On a good Sunday afternoon it was not unusual to be 8th or 10th on downwind with every mix from J-3s to twins. "With that traffic, after moving to the Comanche I learned a lot about slow flight.”
We're talking serious operation here, not a grass clearing in the outback.
And then.....
Quote:

Zahn's was bought by the town in 1980 & turned into an industrial park.
What? Just like that? Gone?
NO no no, there has to be more to it. There has to be a story. People fed up with the noise.... angry public meetings..... behind the scenes meetings and skullduggery...... the Mafia, the FBI, Soviet spies, connected competitors. Something? :worried:

Griff 12-16-2006 09:25 AM

Maybe MaggieL is in the know, but I always figured lawsuits insurance and such changed the trajectery of cheap flight for the masses and killed the local airstrips.

I wish I knew more about it. I was just a kid. This website has taught me more than family history has. I remember Uncle Joe, and I knew he had an airport on Long Island. That's about it.

It makes me want to run out & buy a copy of Flight Simulator (which I haven't owned since a monochrome version in 1987, and which I couldn't land without crashing). Though really.. I can imagine hopping up and down the east coast. Doing a coast-to-coast or transatlantic flight in real time seems like a bit much.

xoxoxoBruce 12-18-2006 11:34 AM

Run out and buy? Why not download it? :confused:
