It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.

An old man on the point of death summoned his sons around himto give them some parting advice. He ordered his servants to bring in a faggot of sticks, and said to his eldest son: "Break it." The son strained and strained, but with all his efforts was unable to break the Bundle. The other sons also tried, but none of them was successful. "Untie the bundles," said the father, "and each of you take a stick." When they had done so, he called out to them: "Now, break," and each stick was easily broken. "You see my meaning," said their father.

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:

1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptise cats.

2) When your Mum is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.

3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person.

4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.

5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.

6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.

7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time
.
8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.

9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.

10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.



GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:

1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.

2) Wrinkles don't hurt.

3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts.

4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.

5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.

6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fibre, not the toy.



GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.

3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.

4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.

5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.

6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.

7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.



THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:

1) You believe in Santa Claus.

2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.

3) You are Santa Claus.

4) You look like Santa Claus.



SUCCESS:

At age 4 success is . . not piddling in your pants.

At age 12 success is . . . having friends.

At age 17 success is . . having a drivers licence.

At age 35 success is . . having money.

At age 50 success is . . . having money.

At age 70 success is . .. . having a drivers licence.

At age 75 success is . . . having friends.

At age 80 success is . . . not piddling in your pants.



Always remember to forget the troubles that pass your way; BUT NEVER forget the little blessings that come each day.

Not a lot of thoughts out there, huh? Here's another one....

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

IF IT TAKES AN HOUR TO DIG A HOLE ????
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DIG HALF A HOLE

Half the time it takes to dig a whole hole.

there's no such thing as half a hole. a hole is a hole. xD

anyone who disagrees, YOU try digging half a hole. :D

__________________

Depends what size you want your hole to be

so what? you may be halfway to the size of hole that you want, but it's still a hole. it's not half a hole.

and Buffers, i like your nose, but it's a bit Rudolph-y. Christmas was in December. :P

Gracie hun, it's red nose day for comic relief here in the UK on Friday coming. A bunch of comedians get together and raise money for charity. The public have fund-raisers etc too. My red nose is in honour of that. Info at the following link:

And you're right.. it's still a hole... but if it's half the size of the hole I need it's half a hole to me, but then I am, by all admission, strange. lol

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

Im sorry i dug that blooming hole lol.
In fact you cannot dig half a hole i agree

If I may interject here? According to dictionary.com, one of the definitions of hole is..

So, using their example.. If you have a roof two inches thick and "dig" out one inch of it.. Would that not be half of a hole?

The operative phrase there is 'one of the definitions'.

A Fox Hole that is only half built, to the fox at least, could be called half a hole I suppose... but only by the fox really. And I don't think foxes talk. If they do, its very quietly, cos I've never heard one.

__________________

Yes, it's very much an operative phrase

But see, there IS, so there is only need to prove it for one of the definitions.. Wait, now that I think about it, we've gone WAY off topic

Thought for the day: I heard a fox talk once, but I can't tell you any more than that because he said if I did he would come back and hurt me more..

arrrrgh, i can't believe we've gotten into holes so much.

i'm just going to say this one more time: there's NO such thing as half a hole. a hole is a hole. it may be HALFWAY BUILT, but it is a HOLE. not HALF OF ONE, a HOLE.

for Zach's example: NO, you wouldn't call it HALF a hole, because there's NO such thing. if someone didn't know that there were supposed to be two inches and that it wasn't finished, they would come up and call it a HOLE! NOT HALF OF ONE!

let's say you dig a four-feet deep hole. it's a hole, yes? the next day, you want it to go all the way to China. is the four-feet hole an incomplete hole? NO, IT ISN'T! IT'S A HOLE. A WHOLE HOLE!

geez, i can't believe i care so much about holes. o_O

Ah but my dear gracie, there is such thing as a relative half a hole. If by standard a hole should be of a volume of 1000cc, then a 500cc hole is a half a hole.

__________________

but holes don't HAVE a standard! a hole is a.. hollow in the ground. there is no size constraint. a hole is a hole. it may be halfway BUILT, but half a hole doesn't exist. and who says we get to be relative? :P

okay. we're completely off-topic. let's just.. disagree, shall we? because this is kind of a waste of time. :P
