JOKE OF THE WEEK
G.W.Bush was very depressed that people were saying he's stupid. So he
calls his good friend Queen Elizabeth, who says, "Now George, what you
need to do is to surround yourself with smart people. Let me show you."
She calls Tony Blair in and asks, "Tony, your parents had a baby. It
isn't your sister and it isn't your brother. Who is it?"
Tony Blair replies, "It's me!"
So G.W. calls Dick Cheney and says, "Dick, your parents had a baby. It
isn't your sister and it isn't your brother. Who is it?"
And Cheney says, "Wow, that's a tough one. Let me get back to you."
So Cheney calls Colin Powell and says, "Colin, your parents had a baby.
It isn't your sister and it isn't your brother. Who is it?"
And Colin Powell says, "It's me!"
So Cheney calls Bush and says, "It's Colin Powell."
And Bush says, "No, you idiot! It's Tony Blair!"
GET YOUR THINKING CAP ON
A question will be set every week for you all to try and answer. The question will be a mind-bending puzzle, and the answer will be given in the next column.
The question:-
FUN ON H2G2
I enjoy browsing pages on h2g2, so I thought that I would bring your attention to some of the fun researcher-written pages I have come across on my travels.
A masterpiece of writing by Swill Tony-, the subject Boredom and, yes indeed, it is.
NAME THAT SONG
Each week I will print a quote from a song, all you have to do is guess the title of the song and who sang it.
This weeks quote:-
"When I'm watching my TV and a man comes on and tells me how white
my shirts can be..."
THE WEEKLY ANAGRAM
For those that don't know, an anagram is a word or words, formed from rearranging letters from another word or words. An example anagram would be, Cat Got Beer, which rearranged makes my name Greebo T. Cat.
Each week I will print an anagram and a clue to what it is. You will have until the next column to get the answer.
RICH LIP NIPPLE
UK Royalty
GREEBO'S BIG ONE
Would you like your say on the big issues of the day? Well here's your chance, click below to get transported to Greebo's voting booth, where you can answer the question of the week.
Results will be printed in two weeks time.
VOTE HERE
THE RESULTS - WOW... what a tremendous response from The Post readership, the question was, What would you do if you met an alien lifeform, and you replied....
A whopping 63% of all researchers said they would give the alien a well known Vulcan hand gesture... and say, "Live Long And Prosper."
25% musically inclined researchers would prefer to get out their keyboards and start playing the five tones...
An unlucky for some (well the alien anyway) 13% would hit it over the head, and sell it to the local newspaper for millions...
I was a little saddened by the fact that absolutely no one would use a light saber to chop its head off, maybe that answer was just to bloodthirsty. But, at least we will now be ready for our first alien encounter, my only hope is that it too is a Star Trek fan, or it might wonder why everyone is waving at it, in that strange way...
