Hawiian Salute

funny email story/joke going around I have to share if you haven't seen it b/c I found it hilarious:


"The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a honk if you love Jesus bumper sticker.




I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put in on my bumper.
I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is and I didn't notice that the light had changed.
It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed.

I found that LOTS of people love Jesus. Why, while I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and when he leaned out of his window and screamed, "for the love of God, GO! GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus.

Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people.

I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love. There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach...

I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. When I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.

Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back.

My grandson burst out laughing, why even he was enjoying this religious experience.

A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.


I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed.

So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on through the intersection.

I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.

Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks! "

Horse Play?

found this article I stumbled across rather amusing... particularly the part where they charged the guy with "operating a non-motor vehicle under the influence of intoxicants". Can't say I've heard of that one before, Poor Horse...

Random Fact Time

ok, so I haven't updated for a while, with moving and and getting used to college life. But here's a really interesting fact/comparison I found while reading my IST hw/book on search engines. In 2005 "Google had over 175,000 computers devoted to it's search engine. That's more than existed on Earth in the early 1970's." Maybe it's just me but I find that an amazing statistic. As a side note this book ("The Search" by John Battelle) provides a pretty interesting scenario in how Google's search database could be used to create HAL from 2001 A Space Odyssey, and the connection between search engines and AI.
