I received the following via email and, therefore, cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information. But I still thought they were funny, and besides, they're something that I can post that I don't have to write myself.
Zero Gravity
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside-down, on almost any surface including glass, and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.
The Russians used a pencil.
Your taxes are due again--enjoy paying them!
Our Constitution
They keep talking about drafting a constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it's worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.
The Ten Commandments
The real reason that we can't post the Ten Commandments in a courthouse is that you cannot post "Thou shalt not steal," "Thou shalt not commit adultery," and "Thou shalt not lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.
