I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.

Quote for the day
Being in the army is like being in the Boy Scouts, except that the Boy Scouts have adult supervision.

Joke for the day
When I was younger I hated going to weddings.
It seemed that all of my aunts and the grandmotherly types used to come up to me, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, 'You're next.'
They stopped doing that after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Picture of the day
I GOT STOPPED FOR SPEEDING THE OTHER DAY.
I THOUGHT I COULD TALK MY WAY OUT OF IT
UNTIL THE COP LOOKED AT MY DOG IN THE BACK SEAT.

Did you know...
Outer Space
There is no clear, definable line between where the Earth's atmosphere ends and outer space begins. However, an altitude known as the Karman Line -- 100 km or 62 miles -- is often used to distinguish between atmosphere and space, since this is the distance where a vehicle would need to reach a speed faster than the Earth's orbital velocity to leave its atmosphere.
