Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things. Atheism is a non-prophet organization... And can an atheist get insurance against acts of God? If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes? I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose. What if there were no hypothetical questions? If a deaf child signs swear words, does his mother wash his hands with soap? Where do forest rangers go to get away from it all? What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant? If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages? Would a fly without wings be called a walk? Can vegetarians eat animal crackers? If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent? Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines? What was the best thing before sliced bread? One nice thing about egotists: They don't talk about other people. Does the Little Mermaid wear an algebra? Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? How is it possible to have a civil war? If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest drown too? If you ate both pasta and antipasto, would you still be hungry? Why are hemorrhoids called "hemmorrhoids" instead of "asteroids"? Why is there an expiration date on sour cream? If you try to fail, and you succeed, which have you done?

1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger." 2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says "Dam!" 3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too. 4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says "I've lost my electron." The other says "Are you sure?" The first replies "Yes, I'm positive." 5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication. 6. A group of chess enthusiasts check into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?", they asked, as they moved off. "Because, " he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer." 7. A women has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal." 8. A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everybody liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars. 9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail, and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good) a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis. 10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to his friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.

Any pictures pictures or film clips out there of Larry Hagman (Major Nelson) with the plane? I'm not finding anything on the web verifying this. I'm not doubting whether this info is true or not. In fact, I find it very cool. I've just never seen it, and would like to. Scott

More cool stuff. Nice work. Scott

Another favorite of mine. Another nice model. Scott

Spent sometime this afternoon searching YouTube and the web. I could not find anything showing Major Nelson with any airplane. Much less this one. Any links showing him and the plane would be greatly appreciated. Scott

Thank you. Within minutes of my posting about not knowing about the plane, I did a Google search, and immediately hit the Wikipedia page you have a link to. An interesting little bugger. Scott

All the more cool. Scott

Really? It's been a long time since I've seen that show. I have no memory of that. Scott

Interesting. I'm not familiar with this plane at all. Scott

Again, another great review. I maybe have to buy one. At the same time, I'd love to see them do a predecorated version. Placing all of those decals looks a little daunting. I'm also worried about the detail painting required to finish these. And how good is the colored plastic? Can the kits be truly built and look good without painting them over all? Scott

Still one of the most wicked looking planes ever. I love it. Scott

Never knew Major Nelson flew one. I don't remember that. Very cool. Scott

Very nice. Again, you build the stuff I like. I've always loved those early jet fighters. Scott

Very kool! I've been waiting to one of these built. I still have not picked up mine. Scott

My feeling exactly Steve. I do understand. The boattail Riv thing drives me nuts. Holthouse did the best. But, even their roof wasn't quite right. So even though I like Revell's Mustang, I understand why others don't. Scott

Many here know, I love the old Ford GT40s and the modern Ford GTs. But, I've never been a big fan of Ford's GT90. But as time has gone on, I'm slowly starting to like that car too. Enough to pick up the AMT SnapFast Plus kit of the car. To go with my extensive collection of 1/25th and 1/24th scale GT40s and GTs. Two models I'd like to find, and have never seen, are models of Ford's GT40 Mk III and Ford's GT70. I really have my doubts that anyone has ever made a model of a GT40 Mk III. But what about the GT70? It was fairly big news in the early 70's. Showing up in several races in Europe. It was not followed much over on this side of the Atlantic. So I doubt any of the American model companies ever considered offering a kit of the car. But, how about a European company? Especially a British company like Airfix? It's also something that I could see a Japanese company offering. Does anybody know? Has anybody ever offered a plastic kit in 1/25th or 24th scale of a Ford GT70? Heck, I be pleased to have one in 1/32nd or 1/43rd for that matter. Scott

I think I like Revell's interpretation better than the real car after seeing them side by side above. The real Mustang looks like the roof needs to be chopped just a bit. Hummm. Now I don't know what to think. True the roof is too low. But not enough for me to notice without photos like the above. I guess for me, the Revell kit represents the look of the car well enough. It's not going to stop me from building the one I have. Scott

Actually fun to watch. And nice to see how safe it's gotten. Scott

What did the judge say when a family of skunks entered his courtroom? "Odor in the court!" Scott

Very nice. I like it. Scott

As others have said, Wow! A very nice series of models. Beautiful. Scott

Again, another nice one. As I've note else where, this is my favorite of Tom Daniels designs. Also as note, I have two. One I built a year or two ago. And an autographed copy that Mr. Daniels kindly sent to me just last year. Which is one of my most treasured possessions. Scott

Another nice job. You do good work. Scott
