The adjective for metal is metallic. But not so for iron, which is ironic.
During the French Revolution, there were three Christians who were sentenced to die by the guillotine.
One Christian had the gift of faith, the other had the gift of prophecy, the other had the gift of helps.
The Christian with the gift of faith was to be executed first. He was asked if he wanted to wear a hood over his head. He declined and said he was not afraid to die. "I have faith that God will deliver me!" he shouted bravely. His head was positioned under the guillotine, with his neck on the chopping block. He looked up at the sharp blade, said a short prayer and waited confidently. The rope was pulled, but nothing happened.
His executioners were amazed and, believing that this must have been an act of God, they freed the man.

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!
One of my New Year's resolutions was to throw out one thing a day and I happy to report that after two weeks, I am on track! I am interested to see if I run out of things to toss before I run out of days in the year to toss them. Between my office cupboard and my little shop under our back deck, I think I am going to be fine.
Today's video share features something I would like to have. It's not the USD169,000 Portugieser Tourbillon Rétrograde Chronograph watch - I want the electric loupe!

Mergatroyd ? Do you remember that word?
Would you believe the spell-checker did not recognize the word, Mergatroyd? Heavens to Mergatroyd!
The other day a not so elderly (maybe 75 years old) lady said something to her son about driving a Jalopy; and he looked at her quizzically and said, "What the heck is a Jalopy?" He had never heard of the word jalopy! She knew she was old ...But not that old.
Well, I hope you are Hunky Dory when you read this and chuckle.
About a month ago, I illuminated some old expressions that have become obsolete because of the inexorable march of technology and language.
These phrases included: Don't touch that dial; Carbon copy; You sound like a broken record; and Hung out to dry.
Back in the olden days we had a lot of moxie. We'd put on our best bib and tucker, to straighten up and fly right. Heavens to Betsy! Gee whillikers! Jumping Jehoshaphat! Holy Moley!
We were in like Flynn and living the life of Riley; and even a regular guy couldn't accuse us of being a knucklehead, a nincompoop or a pill.
Not for all the tea in China!
Back in the olden days, life used to be swell, but when's the last time anything was swell? Swell has gone the way of beehives, pageboys and the D.A.; of spats, knickers, fedoras, poodle skirts, saddle shoes, and pedal pushers.
Oh, my aching back! Kilroy was here, but he isn't anymore.
We wake up from what surely has been just a short nap, and before we can say, "Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!" or, "This is a fine kettle of fish!" we discover that the words we grew up with, the words that seemed omnipresent, as oxygen, have vanished with scarcely a notice from our tongues and our pens and our keyboards. Poof, go the words of our youth, the words we've left behind. We blink, and they're gone. Where have all those great phrases gone?
Long gone:
It turns out there are more of these lost words and expressions than Carter has liver pills. This can be disturbing stuff! (Carter's Little Liver Pills are gone too!) Leaves us to wonder where Superman will find a phone booth.
See ya later, alligator!
Okidoki.
... You'll notice they left out "Monkey Business"!!!

Q: What Assyrian king had descendants who actually came to the United States and were able to establish a successful chain of barbecue restaurants?

A little girl asked her mother, "Can I go outside and play with the boys?"
Her mother replied, "No, you can't play with the boys, they're too rough."
The little girl thought about it for a few moments and asked, "If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?"
Featured Illustrations are items well suited for illustrating or inspiring a point in a sermon, speech, or devotional. Funny, moving, or perhaps even graphic, the point of them is the point you make with them.
Susan Page writes . . . .
- photo by Susan PageHave you ever wanted to grab a bruised apple, pear, or banana for your mid-day snack? Likely not. A bruised piece of fruit is not particularly appetizing.
How do you react when you see intense bruising on someone’s body? If the injury is the consequence of abuse, then the alarm bells sound and proper care and aid should be given in removing the person from harm's way. Often though, regular bruising is usually the result of an accident or sometimes sheer clumsiness.

A woman was at home with her kids when her cell phone buzzed with an incoming call.
As she grabbed it and swiped to answer, she tripped on the charging cable, stumbled, and dropped her phone. The phone hit the floor with a loud clatter, startling the family dog, who jumped up barking and knocking over a chair. The commotion made her three-year-old scream at the top of his lungs, which prompted her to mutter a few choice words.

Over the years, some of the most popular pages on the Cybersalt site have featured Funny Cat Pictures. We have to admit that even though cats often look at humans like they owe the feline world something (remember dogs have owners and cats have staff), cats aren't as bad as a lot of the press that they get.
And so, whether you are a cat lover or tolerator, we hope you enjoy these funny cat pictures. And, of course, if you have any funny cat pictures you want to share with the world, feel free to send them to us to post here.
Some say the world can be divided into two types - cat people and dog people. For the cat people of the planet, Cybersalt has the Funny Cat Archive. For the dog people we have this Funny Dog Pictures archive.
It's dedicated to the memory of Maggie - Pastor Tim and family's dog. The SPCA rescued Maggie from Manitoba's Red River flood in 1996 and brought her to British Columbia where she had two short term owners before becoming a part of the Davis household where she preferred adults over kids, picked and ate fruit from trees in the backyard, and very rarely went into water at the beach.
Here's our funny horse pictures collection.
We think Cybersalt's Funny Christmas Pictures Collection is the best on the net.
