Killer Jigsaw Puzzle
A little silver-haired lady calls her neighbor and says:
"Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get started."
Her neighbor asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"
The little silver haired lady says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a rooster."
Her neighbor decides to go over and help with the puzzle.
She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table.
He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says:
"First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster."
He takes her hand and says, "Secondly, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea, and then," he said with a deep sigh ...
"Let's put all the Corn Flakes back in the box."

I'm Overworked
For a couple years I've been blaming it on lack of sleep and too much pressure from my job, but now I found out the real reason: I'm tired because I'm overworked.
The population of this country is 237 million. 104 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work.
Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government, leaving 19 million to do the work.
2.8 million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 16.2 million to do the work.
Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for State and City Governments and that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.
Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two people to do the work.
You and me.

Even when a man is listening, he's gonna get it wrong
A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday.
"I'd like to be eight again..." she replied.
On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops, and then took her off to the local theme park.
What a day! He put her on every ride in the park: the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster, every thing there was.
Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down.
Right away, they journeyed to a McDonald's where her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake.
Then it was off to the movies with popcorn, all the Coke she could drink, and her favorite M&M's. What a fabulous adventure!
Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted.
He leaned over his precious wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, "Well, Dear, what was it like being eight again?"
Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. "I meant my dress size!!!!!!!"
The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he's gonna get it wrong.

Change Your Course
Through the pitch-black night, the captain sees a light dead ahead on a collision course with his ship. He sends a signal: "Change your course 10 degree east."
The light signals back: "Change yours, 10 degrees west."
Angry, the captain sends: "I'm a navy captain! Change your course, sir!"
"I'm a seaman, second class," comes the reply. "Change your course, sir."
Now the captain is furious. "I'm a battleship! I'm not changing course!"
There is one last reply. "I'm a lighthouse. Your call."

The Study of Birds
Joe, a college student, was taking a course in ornithology, the study of birds. The night before the biggest test of the semester, Joe spent all night studying. He had the textbook nearly memorized. He knew his class notes backward and forward. Joe was ready.
The morning of the test, Joe entered the auditorium and took a seat in the front row. On the table in the front was a row of ten stuffed birds. Each bird had a sack covering its body, and only the legs were showing. When class started, the professor announced that the students were to identify each bird by looking at its legs and give its common name, species, habitat, mating habits, etc.
Joe looked at each of the birds' legs. They all looked the same to him. He started to get angry. He had stayed up all night studying for this test and now he had to identify birds by their LEGS? The more he thought about the situation, the angrier he got.
Finally he reached his boiling point. He stood up, marched up to the professor's desk, crumpled up his exam paper and threw it on the desk. "What a ridiculous test!" he told the prof. "How could anyone tell the difference between these birds by looking at their legs? This exam is the biggest rip-off I've ever seen!"
With that, Joe turned and stormed toward the exit. The professor was a bit shocked, and it took him a moment to regain his composure. Then, just as Joe was about to walk out the door, the prof shouted out, "Wait a minute, young man, what's your name?"
Joe turned around, pulled up his pant legs and hollered, "You tell me, prof! You tell me!"

NASA and the Navajo
When NASA was preparing for the Apollo Project, it took the astronauts to a Navajo reservation in Arizona for training. One day, a Navajo elder and his son came across the space crew, who were walking among the rocks.
The elder, who spoke only Navajo, asked a question. His son translated for the NASA people:
"What are these guys in the big suits doing?"
One of the astronauts said they were practicing for a trip to the moon. When his son relayed this comment, the Navajo elder got all excited and asked if it would be possible to give the astronauts a message to deliver to the moon.
Recognizing a promotional opportunity when he saw one, a NASA official accompanying the astronauts said, "Why certainly!" and told an underling to get a tape recorder. The Navajo elder's comments into the microphone were brief. The NASA official asked the son if he would translate what his father had said. The son listened to the recording and laughed uproariously. But he refused to translate.
So the NASA people took the tape to a nearby Navajo village and played it for other members of the tribe. They too laughed long and loudly but also refused to translate the elder's message to the moon.
Finally, an official government translator was summoned. After he finally stopped laughing, the translator relayed the message:
"Watch out for these guys! They've come to steal your land."

Women 1 Men 0 ;)
A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
"House" for instance, is feminine: "la casa."
"Pencil," however, is masculine: "el lapiz."
A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computadora") because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
(THIS GETS BETTER!)
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine ("el computador") because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on.
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves.
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time, they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
The women won.

Two Retired Racehorses
Two rather old retired racehorses are in a bar getting totally drunk. After about two hours the first racehorse says "You know.... when I was a young racehorse...from one hundred starts, I won (hic) 90 races, got 5 seconds and 5 thirds.... I am without doubt the greatest racehorse that ever lived....blah blah blah..."
In response to this and approximately a half an hour later the second racehorse responded, "Oh yeah...when I was a young racehorse...from one hundred starts, I won (hic) 95 races, got 2 seconds and 3 thirds.... I am the greatest racehorse that ever lived.... blah blah blah..."
Now it was about this time that the bartender (a greyhound) decided that they were drunk enough so he said, "I am sick of you two telling one another how great you are, you are both drunk and I am throwing you out of the bar, but before I do I want to let you know that when I was a young greyhound, from one hundred starts, I won 100 races, no seconds and no thirds."
The two racehorses were shocked and for 5 minutes sat with their mouths open until the fist racehorse finally said, "Isn't that amazing (hic)...a talking greyhound!"

How can you drink this stuff?!
An angry wife was complaining about her husband spending all his free time in a bar, so one night he took her along with him.
"What'll you have?" he asked.
"Oh, I don't know. The same as you I suppose," she replied.
So, the husband ordered a couple of Jack Daniel's and threw his down in one shot. His wife watched him, then took a sip from her glass and immediately spat it out.
"Yuck, that's TERRIBLE!" she spluttered. "I don't know how you can drink this stuff!"
"Well, there you go," cried the husband. "And you think I'm out enjoying myself every night!"

5 ways to improve your productivity at work
The challenge for the modern day professional is an ever-expanding ‘to-do’ list and an increase in time spent on work at and away from office. The answer may lie in improving your productivity -- getting more done in less time. That’s easier said than done though. Here are 5 work-habits you should consider adopting if you want to do more with less, time that is!
1. Do not call
Venus Williams said ‘I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.’ That is sound advice. Consider the sheer number of interruptions in our day ranging from email, phone calls, instant and phone messages and that doesn’t even count colleagues trying to get you to join their coffee break. Studies have shown that we may be interrupted as often as 73 times in a typical work day and that it may take as long as 20-25 minutes after each break to get back to peak concentration.
Clearly the first thing to do is turn off the distractions -- put that phone on silent, close that email window and put out that ‘do not disturb’ sign.
Putting the task at hand at the forefront of the consciousness and letting it occupy all the focus and mental bandwidth is what we call being mindful about work.
2. Bust the multi-tasking myth
Be honest! How many of you think ‘multi-tasking’ is one of your strengths? We’ve all tried working on emails while on a conference call or checking our messages while in a meeting but neuro-science tells us this is not multi-tasking -- the brain just switches from one task to the other.
The bad news is that there is a significant loss of efficiency each way due to this switching. Stanford professor Clifford Nash puts it very bluntly ‘‘Multi-taskers are terrible at every single aspect of multi-tasking. They’re terrible at ignoring irrelevant information, they’re terrible at keeping information in their head nicely and neatly organised, and they’re terrible at switching from one task to another’.
The message is very clear -- do one thing at a time and do it well.
3. The plan truth
Time management author Alan Lakein had famously said that failing to plan was the same as planning to fail. This suggests a way to approach the work day in a way designed to yield more output. Start the day by breaking it into 4 or 5 chunks of 90 or so minutes each -- that’s about the limit of concentrated effort the mind can take.
Build in appropriate breaks and time off. Short bursts of concentrated effort are the way to go to get more done.
4. Join the club
We have seen how the mind switches from one task to the other and also suggested to break the work day into manageable chunks. A natural extension emerges -- the suggestion is that in those chunks of concentrated work try to group activities that call for similar action or that can reduce the need for context switching.
An example is doing similar tasks like report preparation or addressing emails in clumps.
5. The path to self-quantification
To know where one has to go, it is first imperative to know where one stands to start with. Self-quantification is a move to take a dispassionate view of one’s own work habits to identify those that are causing time or effort to be wasted.
This also allows one to identify exactly what effort is being put into each task and the amount of time being spent on tasks that may not be core. Once you know what is not working the logical next step is to be mindful of those habits and to slowly reduce their influence.
Let me close with one more quote -- Paul Meyer said ‘Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focussed effort.’
Truer words may never have been spoken about the state of personal effort and achievement in the work-place today!

20 Astonishing Facts About Your Body
Most of us are oblivious to the amazing things that happen on the inside of our body, on the outside of our body and the astounding mechanics behind it. What goes ahead inside the human body is more perplexing and awesome than anything ever envisioned, so to speak. Therefore, researchers are discovering approaches to dig significantly deeper into what we know of the psyche.
Here are some amazing things about our body that no one told you about;
1. Seeing with your ears ( Human Echolocation)
The capacity of humans to detect objects in their environment by sensing echoes from those objects. It’s nothing but the same old thing new, on the grounds that a ton of creatures(mostly animals) utilize it, yet it is really stunning that humans have figured out how to learn it also. This ability is extremely functional and sorted among those with vision impairment.
2. Ability to bear pain ( Autogenic training )
The method includes the everyday practice of sessions that last around 15 minutes, ordinarily in the morning, at lunch time, and at night. Amid every session, the professional will rehash a set of visualizations that prompt a condition of unwinding. If done properly, you can easily attain proficiency over muting body pains, increasing / decreasing your heart rate, feeling heavy or light, warning/ cooling of the body, waking up at a certain time etc.
3. Training your body for better performance ( Mobility-Stability Continuum )
Running easy chores like standing more than sitting and petty weight trainings can build strong influences on your body. Versatility and steadiness are correlative in nature. When you strive to enhance portability at a joint, to some degree you yield steadiness. It meets expectations the inverse route too; the more steady you make a joint, the more you intrinsically limit its portability.
4. Reduce your urge to pee
You can incidentally diminish (not dispense with) the urge to urinate by setting the heel of one foot up against the internal thigh of the inverse leg. This is an awesome trap to utilize in those “we’re pretty much there!” minutes.
5. A cure for your upset stomach
You can reduce (not take out) the uneasiness of a stomach irritation by gradually rubbing your hand around on the belly. I do this for youngsters, then demonstrate to them they can do it without anyone’s help. Additionally has a quieting impact on the psyche.
6. Know the length of your foot by measuring from your wrist to your elbow-pit
7. You can see better in low light environments with your peripheral vision
8. Your nose and ears will continue to grow throughout your life. This is why older people tend to have large noses and ears
9. Your eyes do not grow at all. This is why babies appear to have large eyes
10. When a pregnant woman has a seizure or heart attack, the fetus will send stem cells to its mother to help restore the damaged cells
11. Your brain erases your memory
Whenever your eyes move when you focus on something. Your brain erases the blurry non-focused memory of when your eye was actually moving. Because we look around so much, the brain erases roughly 45 minutes each day.
12. On average, your taste bud cells lasts 8 days, then die, fall off, and go into your stomach
13. Our total blood volume goes through our kidneys 65 times a day
14. Your brain limits your physical strength until needed for a fight or flight response
So the proof proposes that our genuine muscle strands physically can give us a chance to punch through a divider like the Terminator on the off chance that they truly need to, yet our mind subjectively restrains us.
15. A human baby has over 60 more bones than a fully grown adult
16. The surface area of a human lung is equal to a tennis court
17. Nerve impulses travel to and from the brain at speeds of up to 250 miles per hour, faster than a Formula 1 racecar
18. Inside your belly button are thousands of bacteria that form an ecosystem the size of an entire rainforest
19. Human bone is as strong as granite
