08.11.05 Punchlines & Meteors

These are taken from the current issue of Time magazine:

  • "A lightsaber used in the original Star Wars was bought for $200,000 at a recent auction. The buyer wishes to remain anonymous and a virgin." --CONAN O'BRIEN
  • "President Bush had his physical a couple days ago, and doctors say that President Bush is likely our most fit President in the history of the United States. That means if anything happens to Cheney, he can jump in and take over." --DAVID LETTERMAN
  • "Some sad news--King Fahd of Saudi Arabia has died. In respect, the Saudi royal family lowered their flag and raised their oil prices." --JAY LENO

  • i have a love/hate relationship with those TIME blurbs--somehow it's wrong that TIME gets a laugh from collecting everyone else's one liners--but i love it.

    thanks for the heads up about the showers--i miss them every year!

  • I'm envious. That's great, I hope you get to see it. We don't have too much light pollution by us so it could be good. I hope to be floating (face up) in my pool to watch them.

  • Interesting article on the Perseids. Thanks for the link.

    I think the anonymous virgin that bought the light saber was my brother-in-law. You should see his Star Wars/Star Trek collection. Very weird.

  • It was cloudy, I couldn't believe it. I had gotten up at 3 am and it was clear, I went back to bed because it wasn't really supposed to start until 4 am and when I got up again, it was overcast...
