All about my favorite things

What happened in my birth year?

17.36
 In 1970, the world was a different place.
There was no Google yet. Or Yahoo.
In 1970, the year of your birth, the top selling movie was Love Story. People buying the popcorn in the cinema lobby had glazing eyes when looking at the poster.
Remember, that was before there were DVDs. Heck, even before there was VHS. People were indeed watching movies in the cinema, and not downloading them online. Imagine the packed seats, the laughter, the excitement, the novelty. And mostly all of that without 3D computer effects.
Do you know who won the Oscars that year? The academy award for the best movie went to Patton. The Oscar for best foreign movie that year went to Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion. The top actor was George C. Scott for his role as Gen. George S. Patton Jr. in Patton. The top actress was Glenda Jackson for her role as Gudrun Brangwen in Women in Love. The best director? Franklin J. Schaffner for Patton.
In the year 1970, the time when you arrived on this planet, books were still popularly read on paper, not on digital devices. Trees were felled to get the word out. The number one US bestseller of the time was Love Story by Erich Segal. Oh, that's many years ago. Have you read that book? Have you heard of it? Look at the cover!
In 1970... The first episode of All My Children is broadcast on the ABC television network. Biafra capitulates, ending the Nigerian civil war. The Boeing 747, the world's first "jumbo jet", enters commercial service for launch customer Pan American Airways with its maiden voyage from John F Kennedy International Airport to London Heathrow Airport. Mick Jagger is fined £200 for possession of cannabis. The complete New English Bible is published. The Expo '70 World's Fair opens in Suita, Osaka, Japan. Citroën introduces the SM at the Geneva Auto Salon. Teenagers in the United Kingdom vote for the first time, in a by-election in Bridgwater. Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh opens. The 1970 FIFA World Cup is inaugurated in Mexico. An assassination attempt against King Hussein of Jordan precipitates the Black September crisis. The U.S. Foreign Office announces that renewal of arms sales to Pakistan. Democrats sweep the U.S. Congressional midterm elections; Ronald Reagan is reelected governor of California; Jimmy Carter is elected governor of Georgia. Paul McCartney sues in Great Britain to dissolve the Beatles' legal partnership.
That was the world you were born into. Since then, you and others have changed it.
The Nobel prize for Literature that year went to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. The Nobel Peace prize went to Norman E. Borlaug. The Nobel prize for physics went to Hannes Olof Gösta Alfvén from Sweden for fundamental work and discoveries in magneto-hydrodynamics with fruitful applications in different parts of plasma physics. The sensation this created was big. But it didn't stop the planets from spinning, on and on, year by year. Years in which you would grow bigger, older, smarter, and, if you were lucky, sometimes wiser. Years in which you also lost some things. Possessions got misplaced. Memories faded. Friends parted ways. The best friends, you tried to hold on. This is what counts in life, isn't it?
The 1970s were indeed a special decade. Women's liberation continued. The hippie culture faded. There was an opposition to the Vietnam war, and nuclear weapons. The environmentalist movement began. Tom Wolfe coined the decade the "Me decade" due to a new self-awareness. Mao Zedong died and the market began to liberate in China. There was an oil crisis. After the first oil shock, gasoline was rationed in many countries. In Eastern Europe, Soviet-style command economies begin showing signs of stagnation. The Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, witness the kidnapping and murder of Israeli athletes by Palestinian Arab terrorists. The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. The Who, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Bee Gees, Abba and others play their music. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison all die at the age of 27. The space mission Apollo 13 nearly ends in disaster. Egypt signed the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty. There was a revolution in Iran. The world sees its first general microprocessor. The C programming language makes its debut. Consumer video games show up on the scene. Microwave ovens become commercially available. Margaret Thatcher was victorious in the UK elections.
Do you know what was on the cover of Life that year?
Do you remember the movie that was all the rage when you were 15? Rocky IV. Do you still remember the songs playing on the radio when you were 15? Maybe it was Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears. Were you in love? Who were you in love with, do you remember?
In 1970, 15 years earlier, a long time ago, the year when you were born, the song I'll Be There by The Jackson 5 topped the US charts. Do you know the lyrics? Do you know the tune? Sing along.
You and I must make a pact, we must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I'll be there
I'll reach out my hand to you, I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I'll be there
...
There's a kid outside, shouting, playing. It doesn't care about time. It doesn't know about time. It shouts and it plays and thinks time is forever. You were once that kid.
When you were 9, the movie The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh was playing. When you were 8, there was The Cat from Outer Space. When you were 7, there was a Disney movie out called The Rescuers. Does this ring a bell?
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... it's 1970. There's TV noise coming from the second floor. Someone turned up the volume way too high. The sun is burning from above. These were different times. The show playing on TV is Josie and the Pussycats. The sun goes down. Someone switches channels. There's The Partridge Family on now. That's the world you were born in.
Progress, year after year. Do you wonder where the world is heading towards? The technology available today would have blown your mind in 1970. Do you know what was invented in the year you were born? The Pocket Calculator. The Relational Database Management System. Cup Noodles.
It's 2003 and where do you wanna be? In '42 or 1970?
And maybe we should take a good lock around
I don't get why the planet is so upset
And don't do something you might regret
I'm telling you it's starting to get in the way
...
That's from the song Fun by Smash Mouth.
In 1970, a new character entered the world of comic books: Aquarius. Bang! Boom! But that's just fiction, right? In the real world, in 1970, Beck was born. And Matt Damon. Uma Thurman, too. And you, of course. Everyone an individual. Everyone special. Everyone taking a different path through life.
It's 2010.
The world is a different place.
What path have you taken?

Mengapa Ayam Menyeberang Jalan?

14.52

Mengapa Ayam Menyeberang Jalan

Jawaban dari:

Guru TK : supaya sampai ke ujung jalan.

PLATO : untuk mencari kebaikan yang lebih baik.
POLISI : beri saya lima menit dengan ayam itu, saya akan tahu kenapa.

ARISTOTELES : karena merupakan sifat alami dari ayam.

KAPTEN JAMES T.KIRK : karena dia ingin pergi ke tempat yang belum pernah ia datangi.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR : saya memimpikan suatu dunia yang membebaskan semua ayam menyebrang jalan tanpa mempertanyakan kenapa.

MACHIAVELLI : poin pentingnya adalah ayam menyebrang jalan! siapa yang peduli kenapa! akhir dari penyebrangan akan menentukan motivasi ayam itu.

FREUD : fakta bahwa kalian semua begitu peduli pada alasan ayam itu menunjukkan ketidaknyaman seksual kalian yang tersembunyi.

GEORGE W.BUSH : kami tidak peduli kenapa ayam itu mnyeberang! kami cuma ingin tau apakah ayam itu ada di pihak kami atau tidak, apa dia bersama kami atau melawan kami. tidak ada pihak tengah di sini!

DARWIN : ayam telah melalui periode waktu yang luar biasa, telah melalui 
seleksi alam dengan cara tertentu dan secara alami tereliminasi dengan menyeberang jalan.

EINSTEIN : Apakah ayam itu menyebrang jalan atau jalan yang bergerak dibawah ayam itu, itu semua tergantung pada sudut pandang kita sendiri.

NELSON MANDELA : Tidak akan pernah lagi ayam ditanyai kenapa menyebrang jalan! dia adalah panutan yang akan saya bela sampai mati.

THABO MBEKI : kita harus mencari tau apakah memang benar ada kolerasi antara ayam dan jalan.

MUGABE : Setelah sekian lama jalan dikuasai petani kulit putih, ayam miskin yang tertindas telah menanti
terlalu lama agar jalan itu diberikan kepadanya dan sekarang dia menyebranginya dengan dorongan ayam2 veteran perang. Kami bertekad mengambil alih jalan tersebut dan memberikannya pada ayam, sehingga dia bisa menyebranginya tanpa ketakutan yang diberikan oleh pemerintahan inggris yang berjanji akan
mereformasi jalan itu. Kami tidak akan berhenti sampai ayam yang tidak punya jalan itu punya jalan untuk
diseberangi dan punya kemerdekaan untuk menyeberanginya!

ISAAC NEWTON : Semua ayam di bumi ini kan menyebrang jalan secara tegak lurus dalam garis lurus yang tidak terbatas dalam kecepatan yang seragam, terkecuali jika ayam berhenti karena ada reaksi yang tidak seimbang dari arah berlawanan.

PROGRAMMER J2EE : Tidak semua ayam dapat menyebrang jalan, maka dari itu perlu adanya interface untuk ayam yaitu nyebrangABLE, ayam2 yg ingin atau bisa menyebrang diharuskan untuk mengimplementasikan interface nyebrangABLE, jadi di sini sudah jelas terlihat bahwa antara ayam dengan jalan sudah loosely coupled.

LB. MOERDANI : Selidiki! Apakah ada unsur subversif?

SUTIYOSO : itu ayam pasti ingin naik busway.

SOEHARTO: Ayam-ayam mana yang ndak nyebrang, taK gebuk semua! Kalo perlu di sukabumikan saja.

HABIBIE: Ayam menyebrang dikarenakan ada daya tarik gravitasi, dimana terjadi percepatan yang mengakibatkan sang ayam mengikuti rotasi dan berpindah ke seberang jalan.

DESI RATNASARI: No comment!

JULIA PEREZ : Memangnya kenapa kalo ayam itu menyebrang jalan? Karena sang jantan ada disana, daripada sang betina sendirian diseberang sini, yaaahhhh dia kesana laahh...
cape khan pake alat bantu trus?
ROY MARTEN: Ayam itu khan hanya binatang biasa, pasti bisa khilaf.. (plus nangis dikit)

MEGA KARTI : Ayamnya. Pasti wong cilik. Dia jalan kaki toh.

HARMOKO: Berdasarkan petunjuk presiden.
GUS DUR: Kenapa ayam nyebrang jalan? Ngapain dipikirin! Gitu aja kok repot!

The teller shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fluctuations."

The Asian lady says, "Fluc white people too"

After an Operation

10.56
A surgeon went to check on his blonde patient after an operation.
She was awake, so he examined her.  "You'll be fine," he said.
She asked, "How long will it be before I am able to have a normal sex life again doctor?"

The surgeon seemed to pause, which alarmed the girl.
"What's the matter Doctor?  I will be all right, won't I?"
He replied, "Yes, you'll be fine.  It's just that no one has ever asked me that after having their tonsils out."

Men... are men

16.53
An attractive blonde from Cork , Ireland arrived at the casino. She seemed a little intoxicated and bet twenty-thousand Euros on a single roll of the dice. 
She said, 'I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm completely nude'. 

With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and with an Irish brogue yelled, 'Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!'

As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed..'YES! YES! I WON , I WON!'

She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings and her clothes and quickly departed. 
The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded.
Finally, one of them asked, 'What did she roll?' 
The other answered, 
'I don't know - I thought you were watching.


MORAL OF THE STORY -
Not all Irish are drunks,
not all blondes are dumb,
but all men...are men

Better than a Flu Shot!

16.50
Miss Beatrice, the church organistwas in her eighties and had never been married.
She was admired for her sweetness and kindness to all.
One afternoon the priest came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea.  As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young priest noticed a cute glass bowl sitting on top of it.  The bowl was filled with water, and in the water floated, of all things, a condom!
When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat. The priest tried to stifle his curiosityabout the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist.
'Miss Beatrice', he said, 'I wonder if you would tell me about this?' Pointing to the bowl.
'Oh, yes,' she replied, 'Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through the park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground.  The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven't had the flu All winter.'

Diamond wanna be... :-)

12.48
Pagi ini terima email di milis, link ke artikel di blog Senior Diamond kita Meuthia.
Gilee.. nendang banget tulisannya. Jadi senyum-senyum sendiri bacanya

Tapi ngga terus cuma senyum-senyum gitu. Saya juga langsung introspeksi diri. Dari 13 poin itu, mana saja ya, yg jadi dosa saya.
Mana saja ya, yg belum ada di to do list saya.
Mana saja ya, yg bisa saya remind ke downline - upline.

Masih banyak pe-er yg harus saya selesaikan untuk bisa jadi seorang Diamond. Kalau mau kaya, walau hanya depan komputer, tetap harus diniati. Tetap harus kerja keras. Tetap harus pinter dulu. 

Biar kata di dbcn, kita sudah diperlengkapi segala perlengkapan perang, tapi kalau tak digunakan, ya sama juga bo'ong.
Ngga bisa ngarep trus prospek berdatangan tanpa kita melakukan apa-apa.
Ngga ada cerita trus kita dapat bonus juta-juta kalau depan komputer hanya main game **pletak!!! itu mah gue bangets!!**

Diamond masih posisi cemen?? wataauuu....
Ayo lari, ayo kerja, ayo jadi pintarrr...

I Need Help

09.55
An old man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, Bubba, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

Dear Bubba:
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.

Love, Dad

A few days later, he received a letter from his son.

Dear Dad:
For heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up that garden. That's where I buried the BODIES.
Love, Bubba

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local Police showed up and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left.
That same day, the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Dad:
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. It's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love, Bubba

A Magic Box

09.38
An Amish boy and his father were visiting a nearby mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny silver walls that moved apart and back together again by themselves.
The lad asked, "What is this, father?"

The father, having never seen an elevator, responded, "I have no idea what it is."

While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old lady in a wheelchair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched as small circles lit up above the walls.

The walls opened up again and a beautiful twenty-four-year-old woman stepped out.

The father looked at his son anxiously and said, "Go get your mother."

Operation

A man was seen fleeing down the hall of the hospital just before his operation.

"What's the matter?" he was asked.

He said, "I heard the nurse say, 'It's a very simple operation, don't worry, I'm sure it will be all right."

"She was just trying to comfort you, what's so frightening about that?"

"She was talking to the doctor."

The Four Cats

16.16

Four  men were bragging about how smart their cats  were. 

The  first man was an Engineer,
  

The  second man was an Accountant,
  

The  third man was a Chemist, and
  

The  fourth man was a Government  Employee.
 


To  show off, the Engineer called his cat,  "T-square, do your stuff."
  


T-square  pranced over to the desk, took out some paper  and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square,  and a triangle.
 


Everyone  agreed that was pretty smart.
  


But  the Accountant said his cat could do better. He  called his cat and said,
  

"Spreadsheet,  do your stuff."
 

Spreadsheet  went out to the kitchen and returned with a  dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal  piles of 3 cookies.

Everyone agreed that  was good.
 

But  the Chemist said his cat could do better. He  called his cat and said, "Measure, do your  stuff."
 

Measure  got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart  of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard  and poured
 

Exactly  8 ounces without spilling a drop into the  glass.
 

Everyone  agreed that was pretty good.
  


Then  the three men turned to the Government Employee  and said, "What can your cat  do?"
 

The  Government Employee called his cat and said,  "CoffeeBreak, do your stuff."
  

CoffeeBreak  jumped to his feet.......
  



Ate  the cookies.........
  


Drank  the milk.....
 


Sh*t  on the paper.......
  



Screwed  the other three cats........
  


Claimed  he injured his back while doing  so.
 


Filed  a grievance report for unsafe working  conditions.......
  


Put  in for Workers  Compensation..................and
  

Went  home for the rest of the day on sick  leave............
 








AND  THAT, MY FRIEND IS WHY  EVERYONE WANTS TO WORK  FOR THE GOVERNMENT!
