Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?
I found this at http%2525253A//eserver.org/philosophy/chicken.txt and had to post it!!!! It is fabulous!
WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
Plato: For the greater good.
Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability.
Machiavelli: So that its subjects will view it with admiration,
as a chicken which has the daring and courage to
boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for whom
among them has the strength to contend with such a
paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the
princely chicken's dominion maintained.
Hippocrates: Because of an excess of light pink gooey stuff in its
pancreas.
Jacques Derrida: Any number of contending discourses may be discovered
within the act of the chicken crossing the road, and
each interpretation is equally valid as the authorial
intent can never be discerned, because structuralism
is DEAD, DAMMIT, DEAD!
Thomas de Torquemada: Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I'll find out.
Timothy Leary: Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment
would let it take.
Douglas Adams: Forty-two.
Nietzsche: Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road
gazes also across you.
Oliver North: National Security was at stake.
B.F. Skinner: Because the external influences which had pervaded its
sensorium from birth had caused it to develop in such a
fashion that it would tend to cross roads, even while
believing these actions to be of its own free will.
Carl Jung: The confluence of events in the cultural gestalt
necessitated that individual chickens cross roads at
this historical juncture, and therefore
synchronicitously brought such occurrences into being.
Jean-Paul Sartre: In order to act in good faith and be true to itself,
the chicken found it necessary to cross the road.
Ludwig Wittgenstein: The possibility of "crossing" was encoded into the
objects "chicken" and "road", and circumstances came
into being which caused the actualization of this
potential occurrence.
Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed
the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.
Aristotle: To actualize its potential.
Buddha: If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken-
nature.
Howard Cosell: It may very well have been one of the most astonishing
events to grace the annals of history. An historic,
unprecedented avian biped with the temerity to attempt
such an herculean achievement formerly relegated to
homo sapien pedestrians is truly a remarkable occurence.
Salvador Dali: The Fish.
Darwin: It was the logical next step after coming down from
the trees.
Emily Dickinson: Because it could not stop for death.
Epicurus: For fun.
Ralph Waldo Emerson: It didn't cross the road; it transcended it.
Johann von Goethe: The eternal hen-principle made it do it.
Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain.
Werner Heisenberg: We are not sure which side of the road the chicken
was on, but it was moving very fast.
David Hume: Out of custom and habit.
Jack Nicholson: 'Cause it (censored) wanted to. That's the (censored)
reason.
Pyrrho the Skeptic: What road?
Ronald Reagan: I forget.
John Sununu: The Air Force was only too happy to provide the
transportation, so quite understandably the chicken
availed himself of the opportunity.
The Sphinx: You tell me.
Mr. T: If you saw me coming you'd cross the road too!
Henry David Thoreau: To live deliberately ... and suck all the marrow
out of life.
Mark Twain: The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated.
Molly Yard: It was a hen!
Zeno of Elea: To prove it could never reach the other side.
Chaucer: So priketh hem nature in hir corages.
Wordsworth: To wander lonely as a cloud.
The Godfather: I didn't want its mother to see it like that.
Keats: Philosophy will clip a chicken's wings.
Blake: To see heaven in a wild fowl.
Othello: Jealousy.
Dr Johnson: Sir, had you known the Chicken for as long as I have,
you would not so readily enquire, but feel rather the
Need to resist such a public Display of your own
lamentable and incorrigible Ignorance.
Mrs Thatcher: This chicken's not for turning.
Supreme Soviet: There has never been a chicken in this photograph.
Oscar Wilde: Why, indeed? One's social engagements whilst in
town ought never expose one to such barbarous
inconvenience - although, perhaps, if one must cross a
road, one may do far worse than to cross it as the
chicken in question.
Kafka: Hardly the most urgent enquiry to make of a low-grade
insurance clerk who woke up that morning as a hen.
Swift: It is, of course, inevitable that such a loathsome,
filth-ridden and degraded creature as Man should assume
to question the actions of one in all respects his
superior.
Macbeth: To have turned back were as tedious as to go o'er.
Whitehead: Clearly, having fallen victim to the fallacy of
misplaced concreteness.
Freud: An die andere Seite zu kommen. (Much laughter)
Hamlet: That is not the question.
Donne: It crosseth for thee.
Pope: It was mimicking my Lord Hervey.
Constable: To get a better view.

What Your Favorite Color Says About You
I found this on another blog and it was very interesting...
see www.care2.com/greenliving/favorite-color-personality.html
Adapted from “The Healing Power of Color” by Betty Wood (Inner Traditions, 1998).
White: Symbolic of purity, innocence and naivete, white has strong connotations of youth and purity. If you are an older person, your preference for white could indicate a desire for perfection and impossible ideals, maybe an attempt to recapture lost youth and freshness. It may also symbolize a desire for simplicity or the simple life.
Red: The color of strength, health, and vitality, Red is often the color chosen by someone outgoing, aggressive, vigorous and impulsive—or someone who would like to be! It goes with an ambitious nature but those who choose it can be abrupt at times, determined to get all they can out of life, quick to judge people and take sides. Red people are usually optimistic and can’t stand monotony; they are rather restless and not at all introspective, so they may be unaware of their own shortcomings. They find it hard to be objective and may blame others for any mishaps. Quiet people with a preference for red may feel the need for the warmth, strength and life-giving qualities of the color, or they blanket their true feelings under a sober exterior. Red is usually chosen by people with open and uncomplicated natures, with a zest for life.
Maroon: Harsh experience has probably matured the Maroon person into someone likeable and generous. It is often a favorite color of someone who has been battered by life but has come through. It indicates a well-disciplined Red personality—one who has had difficult experiences and has not come through unmarked but who has grown and matured in the process.
Pink: This color embodies the gentler qualities of Red, symbolizing love and affection without passion. Women who prefer Pink tend to be maternal. Pink desires protection, special treatment and a sheltered life. Pink people require affection and like to feel loved and secure, perhaps wanting to appear delicate and fragile. Pink people tend to be charming and gentle, if a trifle indefinite.
Orange: This color of luxury and pleasure appeals to the flamboyant and fun-loving person who likes a lively social round. Orange people may be inclined to dramatize a bit, and people notice them, but they are generally good-natured and popular. They can be a little fickle and vacillating, but on the whole they try hard to be agreeable. Orange is the color of youth, strength, fearlessness, curiosity and restlessness.
Yellow: The color of happiness, wisdom and imagination, Yellow is chosen by the mentally adventurous, searching for novelty and self-fulfillment. Yellow usually goes with a sunny and shrewd personality, with a good business head and a strong sense of humor. It is the color of intellectuality and all things to do with the mind. Yellow folks are usually clear and precise thinkers who have a good opinion of their own mental capacities and who have lofty ideals. They may at times tend to shun responsibility, preferring freedom of thought and action.
Green: The color of harmony and balance, Green symbolizes hope, renewal and peace, and is usually liked by the gentle and sincere. Greens are generally frank, community-minded people, fairly sociable but preferring peace at any price. Green people can be too self-effacing, modest and patient, so they may get exploited by others. They are usually refined, civilized and reputable.
Blue: Soft, soothing, compassionate and caring, Blue is the color of deliberation and introspection, conservatism and duty. Patient, persevering, conscientious, sensitive and self-controlled, Blues like to be admired for their steady character and wisdom. They are faithful, but are often worriers with somewhat inflexible beliefs and can be too cautious, and suspicious of flamboyant behavior.
Blue-Green: Exacting, discriminating, poised and attractive, the Blue-Green person tends to be sensitive, intellectual and refined, persevering and stable if rather detached. Blue-Greens have excellent taste, and are usually courteous and charming, capable but often refusing help or guidance.
Turquoise: Complex, imaginative and original, Turquoise people drive themselves hard and may be in a state of turmoil under their outwardly cool exterior.
Lavender: This is often chosen by a person who lives “on a higher plane,” who never notices anything sordid and who is always impeccably and beautifully dressed. Lavender people may be on a continual quest for culture and the refined things of life, high and noble causes but without the necessity of getting their hands dirty. A Lavender person is usually creative, charming, witty and civilized.
Purple: Purples are highly individual, fastidious, witty and sensitive, with a strong desire to be unique and different. Temperamental, expansive and artistic, a Purple person may become aloof and sarcastic when misunderstood. If you chose Purple, you tend to be unconventional, tolerant and dignified, likely to achieve positions of authority.
Brown: A Brown person has stamina and patience, tending to be very solid and substantial, conscientious, dependable, steady and conservative. Browns are not impulsive, and may be inarticulate and tactless but they love responsibility and are reliable and kindly. If you chose Brown, watch out for a tendency to be obstinate and inflexible.
Gray: The color of caution and compromise, diligent Grays search for composure and peace and often work hard without reward. Older Grays like life to run on an even keel with few ups and downs. Young Grays may be withdrawing from life and suppressing their personalities. Grays often have good business ability and tend to work too much.
Black: Dignified and impressive without being showy, Black people want to give the appearance of mystery, but their preference may also indicate a suppression of desires and worldly aims, suggesting hidden depths and inner longings.

Spring Break is Over.
So I am done with my last true Spring Break ever. Unfortunately the week was pretty uneventful, but I plan on making up for that over the summer. I at least got to see some of my friends and go out one night, but the rest of the week was spent going to doctors' appointments and working on my paper and taxes. I was hoping to go to the beach, but the pollen was so bad in Mob-town that my husband couldn't go outside. Instead we spent a day watching movies and playing scattegories. I just keep reminding myself that I have plenty of time this summer to hit the beach.
With all that said, I am back to school and hoping the next four weeks will fly by so I can get my 16 credits and enjoy a much needed break. Here is a picture I found online and thought I would share...
I also found this paper. I was amazed that someone would actually turn this in...

I live in the 3rd Unhappiest State in the Nation.
In a study done to show the happiest states in the union; Utah, Wyoming and Hawaii topped the list. Hawaii doesn't surprise me but why Utah and Wyoming??
Mississippi was 48th on the list with only West Virginia and Kentucky lagging behind. That doesn't surprise me at all. Get me out of here!!!!

Some Great Government Quotes
A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
George Bernard Shaw
I would rather be governed by the first three hundred names in the Boston telephone book than by the faculty of Harvard University.
William F. Buckley
The point to remember is that what the government gives it must first take away.
John S. Caldwell
No man should be in public office who can't make more money in private life.
Thomas E. Dewey
The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination.
Voltaire (François Marie Arouet)
Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.
Will Rogers
A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away.
Barry Goldwater
The state, it cannot too often be repeated, does nothing, and can give nothing, which it does not take from somebody
George Henry
How can you govern a country with two hundred and forty-six varieties of cheese?
Charles de Gaulle
The supply of government exceeds the demand.
Lewis H. Lapham
Every nation has the government it deserves.
Joseph Marie de Maistre
The worst government is the most moral. One composed of cynics is often very tolerant and humane. But when fanatics are on top there is no limit to oppression.
H. L. Mencken
Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.
Thomas Paine

Random Thoughts Last Week
POLITICS:
John Edwards admits he is the father of the love child. BIG surprise! I think it is so sad how he had everyone so snowed during the 2004 election. Even some Republicans liked Edwards and I was surprised when he didn’t go further in the 2008 election. Well, good thing since he is a big fat liar! Guess his political career is over.
I find it really ironic that Obama promised to bring the troops home and to make good said he was taking them out of Iraq as promised…but sending them to Afghanistan. Classic double talk! On another note, my Word document always says that I have misspelled “Obama” and I refused to click “add” to my Word dictionary so it will stop underlining his name in red.
TELEVISION/MOVIES:
My American Idol Review: I was really surprised when they picked a Top 13. I guess they just really wanted Anoop Dog even though he totally butchered “My Prerogative” on the wild card show. The judges would not have been able to explain why they picked Anoop over other, better singers so they just made another spot. I am actually really happy with the Top 13 though. They kept saying for the past few years that it would be “the most talented” American Idol ever…but I believe it this season. America/the judges actually made the right choices, minus Michael and Chris, and I am really looking forward to watching this season. No bad girl country singers!!!! I am extremely excited about Scott and I really hope he goes all the way to the top!!! I know I will be voting for him every week.
There will be a new season of South Park starting Wednesday. Kenny gets a purity ring. I cannot WAIT to see it!
So, Dakota Fanning is going to be in the new Twilight movie. I hate the whole idea of Twilight but I am now convinced that I have to at least watch the movie because I love Dakota Fanning.
SCHOOL:
I got my Midterm results back last week and did much better than expected. I guess no one had time to study because I did not deserve the grade I received. It was such a relief that I didn’t totally ruin my grade and now I hope I can bump it up a little on the final.
So I have finally started my paper and have about 1/4th of it completed. The topic is all over the place and I know I am probably going to go through like 3 drafts of this thing before it is finished. Did you know that Mobile was the first city in Alabama to have its own juvenile court? I am learning so much about the juvenile justice system, which is great because it is what I want to do for a living, but I just wish that I could take a juvenile justice class. They don’t really seem to offer that here. There is one class “Children in the Legal System” and it is taught by the Dean of the law school so everyone takes it whether they care about the topic or not, so it is always full and I can never get in. Considering I only have one semester left, hopefully I will get in for the Fall semester.
MUSIC:
I began a “Music for the Weekend” post last year and failed to live up to what I wanted to do with it. Well, I am going to attempt to return to this weekly post. As I missed getting this post up yesterday as I hoped, the music for the week is The Lonely Island. http://thelonelyisland.com/ It is hilarious! Enjoy the videos on the site. Especially, I’m On a Boat!

"A liberal is a person who will give away everything they don't own."
I read this and got a good laugh today:
"I voted Democrat because
I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are
obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas
at 15% isn't.
I voted Democrat because
I believe the government will do a better job of
spending the money I earn than I would.
I voted Democrat because
Freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
I voted Democrat because
When we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what

Are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.

How to Start Each Day
How to start each day with a positive outlook:
1. Open a new file in your computer.
2. Name it 'Barack Obama'.
3. Send it to the Recycle Bin.
4. Empty the Recycle Bin.
5. Your PC will ask you: "Do you really want to get rid of 'Barack Obama'?"
6. Firmly Click 'Yes.'
7. Feel better?
GOOD! - Tomorrow we'll do Nancy Pelosi
