Re: The random krap and bizarre pics thread
Year 112 kicked ass--
"Let's get some blow and some ho's--I wanna live forever!"
Year 113?
Not so much--
"Living on Milk, fish and rice --while looking like a Japanese Don Rickles-- sucks. Give me another 5 years and I'm all done, thanks."
World's oldest man has 113th birthday in Japan
Sep 18, 6:38 PM (ET)
By JAY ALABASTER
TOKYO (AP) - The world's oldest man celebrated his 113th birthday Thursday in southern Japan, telling reporters he wants to live another five years. Tomoji Tanabe, who was born Sept. 18, 1895, received birthday gifts, flowers and $1,000 cash from the mayor of his hometown of Miyakonojo, on Japan's southern island of Kyushu.
Tanabe told reporters he wants to live "another five years or so," according to city spokesman Akihide Yokoyama. That was a slight downgrade from last year, when he said he wanted to live "for infinity."
The former city land surveyor, who lives with his son and daughter-in-law, is in good health and sticks to the habits that have gotten him this far. He rises early and reads the newspaper each day, drinks milk every afternoon and eats regular meals. He also avoids alcohol and does not smoke.
On Tuesday he woke up early in the morning to eat breakfast before walking out to meet the mayor and members of the press at his home, Yokoyama said. The cash gift he received is given annually to the city's oldest resident.
Japan has one of the world's longest life expectancies, nearly 86 years for women and 79 years for men, which is often attributed to the country's healthy diet rich in fish and rice.
The number of Japanese living past 100 has more than doubled in the last six years, reaching a record high of 36,000 people this year. The country's centenarian ranks are dominated by women, who make up 86 percent of the total.
Japan's centenarian population is expected to reach nearly 1 million - the world's largest - by 2050, according to U.N. projections.
The world's oldest person is 115-year-old Edna Parker, who was born on April 20, 1893, and lives in a nursing home in Indiana.

I JUST noticed the cup of milk he has to drink everyday.
No wonder he is so "sour".
That's one lactose tolerant MF'er.

Turn your dead love into a diamond ...

Keep Loved Ones Forever, as a Diamond
Reuters
CHUR, Switzerland (Sept. 18) - Diamonds really are forever. Algordanza, a small company based in the mountainous southeast of Switzerland, uses the ashes of dead people to make diamonds as a permanent memento for their nearest and dearest.
And with prices starting at less than $7,500, the jewels are not solely the preserve of the jetset.
"Some people find it helpful to go to the cemetery and grieve, and they leave their grief in the cemetery," said Algordanza Chairman Veit Brimer. "There are some people who, for whatever reason, do not want to have this farewell.
"Astonishingly these are mainly Christian people. They say: 'Why should I say goodbye? I'll see my husband in 15 years in heaven anyway,"' Brimer said in his office overlooking the town of Chur and its surrounding steep mountains.
The technology for making artificial diamonds was first pioneered by General Electric in the 1950s, and mirrors nature by subjecting carbon to huge pressure and temperature.
Algordanza -- which means "remembrance" in the local language Romansch, spoken in some parts of the Swiss canton of Grisons -- is one of a handful of companies offering artificial diamonds that have sprung up as the technology has improved.
U.S.-based LifeGem and Britain's Phoenix Diamonds, for example, also offer diamonds made from hair, which contains more carbon than ashes meaning a gem can be created from the hair of a living person, or from someone who has been buried rather than cremated. LifeGem even offers diamonds made from dead pets.
"Some people find it is a great honor and remembrance," said Laura Simanton at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). "The technology is certainly getting better."
Synthetic diamonds have become so common that GIA now grades their quality, so buyers can assess what they are getting compared with a natural diamond.
John Cordova, vice president of California-based engagement ring store Robbins Bros said in an interview on lifestyle Web site videojug.com that synthetic diamonds are "in general a little less expensive" than natural ones, but it depends on each individual stone.
GIA engraves the word "synthetic" and its report number on all artificial diamonds it grades.
Algordanza's Brimer first saw a business opportunity in "remembrance" diamonds after meeting a Russian chemist, who explained how gems could be created in a laboratory.
Initially Brimer, who used to work in information technology, and his partner Rinaldo Willy thought their clientele would mainly be young, but they have been surprised that "actually our customers come from all walks of life."
Bobby Thurman -- of Nelson Funeral Service in Arkansas, which offers diamonds to both burial and cremation clients -- decided to have LifeGem make a diamond from combined samples of his own and his family's hair.
"My family will cherish this diamond for generations, and I expect other families will want to do the same," Thurman said.
Algordanza does 40 percent of its business in Japan, its largest market, where cremation is more common because land is so scarce.
Many clients from Europe travel to Chur to accompany the deceased on their final journey and meet the people who will turn the ashes into a diamond.
Often the gem is mounted in jewelry, which the bereaved then wear to maintain close contact with their loved one. But some customers have different plans.
One widow, Brimer said, carried around her husband's diamond in her handbag. Others have them mounted on the deceased's table in the local pub.
Brimer says remembrance diamonds do not appeal to everyone, and is astonished at Algordanza's success. It does not give sales figures, but said the first quarter of 2008 -- the latest details publicly available -- was its most successful three-month period yet.
In its first year, 2004, the company sold one diamond. These days it is creating about 60 a month, which Brimer attributes to word-of-mouth recommendations and media coverage, as Algordanza does not advertise.
Each one takes between three weeks and three months to create, said chemist Nesimi Oner in one of Algordanza's laboratories.
Because only 2 percent of a corpse's ashes are carbon, which then has to be purified, the largest size diamond offered by Algordanza is 1 carat.
"The chemistry is easy," Oner said. "The interesting thing for me is how you can produce larger diamonds."

Re: The random krap and bizarre pics thread
A CHICKEN FARMER WALKED UP TO THE TICKET WINDOW AT THE THEATER AND THE TICKET
AGENT ASKED, 'SIR, WHAT'S THAT ON YOUR SHOULDER?'
THE OLD FARMER SAID, 'THAT'S MY PET ROOSTER CHUCK. WHEREVER I GO, CHUCK GOES.
'I'M SORRY SIR,' SAID THE TICKET AGENT. 'WE CAN'T ALLOW ANIMALS IN THE THEATER.'
THE OLD FARMER WENT AROUND THE CORNER AND STUFFED THE BIRD DOWN HIS OVERALLS,
THEN HE RETURNED TO THE BOOTH, BOUGHT A TICKET, AND ENTERED THE THEATER. HE SAT
DOWN NEXT TO TWO OLD WIDOWS NAMED MILDRED AND MARGE. THE MOVIE STARTED AND
THE ROOSTER BEGAN TO SQUIRM. THE OLD FARMER UNBUTTONED HIS FLY SO CHUCKY COULD
STICK HIS HEAD OUT AND WATCH THE MOVIE.
'MARGE,' WHISPERED MILDRED.
'WHAT?' SAID MARGE.
'I THINK THE GUY NEXT TO ME IS A PERVERT.'
'WHAT MAKES YOU THINK SO?' ASKED MARGE.
'HE UNDID HIS PANTS AND HE HAS HIS THING OUT,' WHISPERED MILDRED.
'WELL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT,' SAID MARGE. 'HELL, AT OUR AGE, WE'VE SEEN 'EM
ALL.'
'I THOUGHT SO TOO,' SAID MILDRED, 'BUT THIS ONE'S EATIN' MY POPCORN.'

Re: The random krap and bizarre pics thread
This one is for the dip-**** tree sitters that just got evicted in Berkley- I wonder if daddy is going to bail them out and pay their share of cost for trespassing? I would have taken a chain saw to the trees with them in the trees. I'd tell (not ask) them to get out 1 time, then let 'er rip!

Elvis Is Alive Museum up for sale again on eBay
Sep 22, 3:43 PM (ET)
ST. LOUIS (AP) - The Elvis Is Alive Museum is once again for sale on eBay. The museum's owner, Andy Key of Mississippi, says military duties will keep him away from home for at least five months.
The 39-year-old Key set a minimum starting bid of $15,000 on the listing, which ends Friday. He bought the museum on eBay last year for $8,300.
Key told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he hopes someone local buys the contents of the museum and continues running it in Hattiesburg, Miss.
The collection includes photographs, books, FBI files, DNA reports and other memorabilia that aim to support the theory that Elvis never died.
Bill Beeny, a Baptist minister who founded the museum in 1990 in Missouri, says he has no plans to buy it back.
