8th Nov 2011 The Tool Using Fish & The Marine Aliens

The thinking fish with his 'tool' ~

Deep sea diver Scott Gardner heard a strange noise while he was exploring in the deep end of coral barrier in Australia. He swan closer to the source of the noise and he found a very peculiar fish, carrying a clam in his mouth. When the fish came close to the surface of a coral, he hit hard on it with his clam until it opened so he could eat it. This never before unique moment was captured by Gardner's camera: the first ever time a photo of a fish using a 'tool' to help him get his food. Like monkeys do.

Deep Ocean Aliens ~

Another first ever photo of these never seen before deep ocean worms with their horrific appearance. To be able to show how they look, the way you see them now, it was necessary to use very potent microscopic. No doubt we are seeing some 'Aliens' of the deep down marine world; the only consolation is that they are of the size of germs, bacteria. Just as well, if they are of the size of the photo here you see, with such terrifying faces and those menacing sharp teeth, you will run with the heart in your mouth.

8th Nov 2011 Making Fortunes When You Are Dead

For the 2nd consecutive year, Michael Jackson has been leading the list of the 'Richest dead Artists', so published the 'Forbes' magazine, specialist in Edition of Fortunes, MJ 'earned' last year near 120 million € from the sale of his discs of unedited songs, the rights of his images, the music tour with his themes and the spectacle 'Circo del Sol', which used his melodies ... continuously enriching the accounts of his heirs.

Together with him appear on the podium was Elvis Presley, died 34 years ago, who gave his family near 39 and half million net income last year; while Marilyn Monroe, passed away close to half a century ago, added more than 19 million in the past 12 months.

 

Following these 3 super stars, was the comic/cartoon artist Charles Schulz (I absolutely adore him), John Lennon whose molar tooth alone had fetched 8 & half million €. (Take note: always keep your fallen teeth), and next, Elizabeth Taylor, in merely a few months had achieved the same quantity as Lennon, one of 'the Beatles.'

Those of the lesser mortals amongst us, many working a 12 to 14 hour day, some with hard labour, earn in Spain less than 700 € a month, with it to support the family the whole life time and, at death, often leave behind just not yet paid up mortgage and debts.

8th Nov 2011 Cooperism - Imitation Of Tommy Cooper

I discovered another new word 'Cooperism', meaning comedians copying Tommy Cooper's wit and style of telling jokes. Tommy himself would have been flattered by imitations, supposedly the best compliment. Since his death in 1984, there has been an industry in 'Imitation Cooperism', like: 

 

** I went to buy a ticket on the train to go to France. The agent said, 'Eurostar?'
I said, 'Well, I've been on the telly; but I'm no Dean Martin.'

• I had a mate who was suicidal. He was really depressed, so I pushed him in front of a train. He was chuffed to bits.
• I went to the cemetery yesterday to lay some flowers on a grave. As I was standing there I noticed 4 grave diggers walking about with a coffin... 3 hours later and they�re still walking about with it...thought to myself, these blokes have lost the plot.
• A new Middle East crisis erupted last night as Dubai Television was refused permission to broadcast �The Flintstones�. A spokesman for the channel said, 'A claim was made that people in Dubai would not understand the humour, but we know for a fact that people in Abu Dhabi Do.'
• Statistically, 6 out of 7 dwarves are not happy.
• I was walking in a cemetery this morning and saw a bloke hiding behind a gravestone. 'Morning.'I said.
• 'No,'he replied, 'just picking daisies.'
• My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
  She said, I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.
  I bought her some bathroom scales.
• I start a new job in Seoul next week. I thought it was a good Korea move.
• I got some new aftershave today that smells like breadcrumbs. The birds love it!
• I was driving this morning when I saw an RAC van parked up. The driver was sobbing uncontrollably and looked very miserable. I thought to myself that guy's heading for a breakdown.
•  

I will put some of the Tommy Cooper original, short, droll, clever and funny one or two liner jokes in the next Blog.
