Let’s See If We Can Start Your Tuesday Off With A Chuckle.

 

A guy asked a girl in a university library, “Do you mind if I sit beside you?

The girl replied with a loud voice, “I DON ‘T WANT TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH YOU!”

All the students in the library started staring at the guy. He was truly embarrassed.

After a couple of minutes the girl walked quietly to the guy’s table and said, “I study psychology,

and I know what a man is thinking. I guess you felt embarrassed, right?

The guy then responded with a loud voice, $500 FOR ONE NIGHT? THAT’S TOO MUCH!

All the people in the library looked at the girl in shock.

The guy whispered in her ear, “I study law, and I know how to screw people”.

Prayer to the Holy Family

In my little kitchen, I have a lovely picture of the Holy Family, Jesus, Mary and Joseph.  They are surrounded by angels.  Jesus is walking towards Mary and Joseph is building something.  I say this prayer daily, reminding me of the holiness and humility of the Holy Family.

Oh most loving Jesus, who by your surpassing virtues and the example of your home life did hallow the household in which you did choose to live while on earth, mercifully look down upon this family, whose members humbly prostrate before you, imploring your protection.  Remember that we are yours, bound and consecrated to you.  Protect us in your mercy, deliver us from danger, help us persevere always in the imitation of your Holy Family, so that, by serving you and loving you faithfully during this mortal life, we may at length give you eternal praise in heaven. 

Oh Mary, dearest Mother, we implore your assistance, knowing that your divine Son will hearken to thy petitions. 

And do you, most glorious patriarch, St. Joseph, help us with your powerful patronage, and place our petitions in Mary’s hands, that she may offer them to Jesus Christ. 

Amen.

Carnegie Mellon U. mocks Catholic Church with naked woman dressed as pope

It is now open season for attacks against the Catholic Church and her clergy.

The Catholic Church is the one institution that consistently, persistently and unwaveringly speaks out against abortion and for the unborn made in His image. That makes the Church the target of the death cultists and the Left.

Two weeks ago in Brussels, Belgium, an archbishop was attacked by four enraged bare-breasted pro-abort lesbians who doused the priest with water from bottles shaped in the image of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ.

Eye Bleach Alert!

The latest is an annual art school parade of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburg, PA, in which a female student, Katherine B. O’Connor, naked from the waist down, mocked the Church by dressing up as the pope, tossing condoms to bystanders, with her public hair shaved in the shape of a cross.

Andy Sheehan reports for CBS Pittsburgh, April 29, 2013, that Carnegie Mellon students say it’s freedom of expression, but the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh calls it inappropriate and disrespectful and has asked the university to take action.

“I think we all know that when we’re growing up we do stupid things but to cross over the line in this instance shouldn’t happen with anybody,” Bishop David Zubik said.

CMU issued a limp statement, saying “We are continuing our review of the incident. If our community standards or laws were violated, we will take appropriate action.”

Pictures of the female student are hard to find, but I did manage to find these. The source of the full-figure photo is embtimes.

You and I both know that no university and no one in America would ever, ever insult Islam or any other religion the way the Catholic Church is being mocked and attacked.

Update (May 10, 2013):

CBS Pittsburgh reports that in a letter to the university community released today, Carnegie Mellon University President Jared Cohon said campus police have now filed misdemeanor charges for indecent exposure against two students in the incident. The letter says:

“Final disposition of these charges will occur through the Allegheny County justice system, not through university channels. There will be no separate disciplinary action pursued through the university’s internal process.

The students took part in a campus art event and, in the case of the student who portrayed herself as the Pope, made an artistic statement which …  many found … deeply offensive, the university upholds their right to create works of art and express their ideas. But, public nudity is a violation of the law and subject to appropriate action.”

Update (May 12, 2013):

The Daily Mail reports that although Carnegie Mellon University did not identify the two students, but court records show students Katherine B. O’Connor, 19, of Pittsburgh, and Robb S. Godshaw, 22, of Wilmette, Illinois, were charged by campus police with indecent exposure.

A gift to President Sauron

This is perfect on the White House lawn!

Since I’m a patriot, I’d even chip in a dollar toward this gift, wouldn’t you?

The above is a photo (taken by Getty Images’ Jessica Hromas) of an inflatable sculpture called “Complex Pile” by American contemporary artist Paul Mccarthy, thereby proving once and for all that much of modern art literally is crap.

The inflatable poop sculpture was on display as part of an exhibition called “Inflation!” curated by Mobile M on April 24, 2013 in Hong Kong.

Hiroshima is Boston Strong

Jazz band Hiroshima plays tribute to Boston bombing victims

We spent a wonderful evening this week at the legendary Scullers Jazz Club, in Boston, enjoying the music of June and Dan Kuramoto and their band, Hiroshima. Scullers is located right in last week’s lock-down zone. Dan and June played some special music to express their “Boston Strong” solidarity with the audience.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes

Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes^[1] is a non-fiction children’s book written by American author Eleanor Coerr and published in 1977.

This true story is of a girl, Sadako Sasaki, who lived in Hiroshima at the time of the atomic bombing by the United States. She developed leukemiafrom the radiation and spent her time in a nursing home creating origami (folded paper) cranes in hope of making a thousand of them. She was inspired to do so by the Japanese legend that one who created a thousand origami cranes would be cured by the gods. Her wish was simply to live. However, she managed to fold only 644 cranes before she became too weak to fold any more, and died on 25 October 1955 in the morning. Her friends and family helped finish her dream by folding the rest of the cranes, which were buried with Sadako. They also built a statue of Sadako holding a giant golden origami crane in Hiroshima Peace Park.

Now every year on Obon Day, which is a holiday in Japan to remember the departed spirits of one’s ancestors, thousands of people leave paper cranes near the statue. On the statue is a plaque: “This is our cry. This is our prayer. Peace on Earth.”

The book has been translated to many languages and published in many places, to be used for peace education programs in primary schools. Sadako’s story was also dramatized at the opening ceremony of the Goodwill Games 1990 in Seattle wherein Seattle schoolchildren, working from the 644 cranes sent by Japanese schoolchildren, completed the unfinished 356 cranes for Sadako, and sent them aloft into the skies in honor of Sadako and world peace.

Creation: Our Solar System

The Solar System consists of the Sun and its planetary system of eight planets, their moons, and other non-stellar objects. It formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud.

The vast majority of the system’s mass is in the Sun, with most of the remaining mass contained in Jupiter. The four smaller inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, also called the terrestrial planets, are primarily composed of rock and metal.

The four outer planets, called the gas giants, are substantially more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiter and Saturn, are composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are composed largely of substances with relatively high melting points (compared with hydrogen and helium), called ices, such as water, ammonia and methane, and are often referred to separately as “ice giants”.

Below are some stunning images of our Solar System, taken by photographer Michael Benson for his new book, Planetfall and his exhibition of the same title now at the Washington, D.C. headquarters of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

By “planetfall,” Benson means “the act or an instance of sighting a planet after a space voyage.”

To make his photographs, Benson peruses through thousands of raw image data, rarely seen by the public, which were collected on missions led by NASA—Cassini, Galileo, MESSENGER, Viking and Voyager, among others—and the European Space Agency. Benson then pieces together the image data into one seamless photograph. It can take anywhere from tens to hundreds of raw frames to arrange, like a mosaic, one legible composite image. Then rendering the photograph in realistic colors adds another layer of complexity.
