a flying windsock with a fire going inside it I saw the strangest thing tonight. It was a windsock flying over my house, and inside it there was a fire going.

I thought it could be dangerous if it flew onto someone's house, or a tree, causing a big fire.

Should I replace my rainbow windsock? We live in a nice but simple white ranch house. Lots of flower in boxes under the windows to dress it up. For the last couple of years we've had a rainbow windsock flying on the front porch just as a sign of "community unity" and all that. It is getting faded and old. We hardly ever see the rainbow stuff anymore. Either it's out of style or maybe the gay community just doesn't think we need them anymore. Should I put a new one up there, or are they corny at this point?

Neigbor's Camera is Spying on Me. Can a Simple Windsock Defeat it? My neighbor and I had a dispute over the location of a fence in our back yards; she's upset because she thinks the fence is (literally) two inches on her property line. I think she's wrong, but still offered to pay her whatever she thought the value of the two inches was - up to $1,000. She refused, got mad, and called the police. Of course, the police decided not to do anything. So rather than try to work things out, she runs out to Radio Shack and buys a surveillance camera. She places it directly under her overhang, and has it pointing directly into my backyard and my windows. I'm trying to take the high road, and not retaliate with a camera of my own. But I would like to prevent her from amassing surveillance footage of me. It is my understanding that it takes a great deal of storage capacity to record survellance footage. If her camera records based on movement, would a windsock quickly fill up her harddrive with useless images? (it's very windy here). Any other ideas?

Which way will Hillary Clinton, America's political windsock, be pointing come election time? The vehicle that is the Hillary Clinton political machine was apparently built without traction control because she tries to veer a little left on some issues and then veer a little right on other issues always trying to stay as close to the center as possible. Instead, she's a runaway train with no real substance to grip onto and so always seems to be crashing violently into the far wacky right and then skids into the crazy steer and crashes into the far wacky left. Which way will she be pointing come election time? Hey there "ducky", feel free to report whoever you wish. You reporting me for this question will go nowhere because it's not a rant it's a question. I'm not campaigning, I'm not even running for office, and Hillary isn't campaigning either as, I guess you're not aware, the Presidential election won't be held this year. Good try though.

What did the cowboy say to the muslim? Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport passenger lounge in Bozeman, Montana, while awaiting their respective flights. One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer. Another is a Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show, and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at Montana State University from the Middle East. Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull. The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face. The wind outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is flapping; but still no plane comes. Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks, "At one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few. "The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?" The Montana cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a smooth drawl, "That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet, but I do believe it's a-comin'.

Any good wind ups? I work at a flying school. Only way of getting through the day is by winding up the new students. I once had a lad go to collect me: a glass hammer sky hooks tartan paint a long stand a long weight a left handed screw driver he offered to change the batteries in the windsock when in was hanging down, and switch it of at the end of the day, after sweeping the flight path. Anyone got anymore good wind ups?

Things everyone used to like but now pretend they never did...? Can you think of anything that was massivly popular that the public conciousness now denies all knowledge of? For example, ask anyone if they like, or ever liked Vanilla Ice, and you will most likely get the answer "No, he's crap", but his Mum couldnt have bought ALL those singles, now could she? And what about bum bags and shell suits? When I was a sprog you couldnt go buy a pint of milk without meeting five people garbed in re-cut windsocks, but no one will admit to ever owning one now... Can you think of any others?.. Oh yeah, and any predictions for "I never liked that" things of the future. I put my money on X factor and those stupid hair cuts that look like mohawks with a mullet and highlights instead of the sides shaved off... ooh - two more - Chris Evans and Ford capris...

question about google maps? How often are the satellite images on Google maps updated?

Most emails I get are a farce, but i was wondering if it was true if tampons saved a Marine:? Tampons to the rescue in Iraq!! Don't worry - it's a good story and worth reading. It's even humorous in parts. It's from the mother of a Marine in Iraq. My son told me how wonderful the care packages we had sent them were and wanted me to tell everyone thank you. He said that one guy we'll call Marine X got a 'girl' care package and everyone was giving him a hard time. My son said, "Marine X got some really nice smelling lotion and everyone really likes it, so every time he goes to sleep they steal it from him." I told my son I was really sorry about the mistake, and if he wanted I would send Marine X another package. He told me not to worry about Marine X because every time I send something to him, Marine X thinks it's for him, too. He said when my husband and I sent the last care package, Marine X came over to his cot, picked up the box, started fishing through it, and said, "What'd we get this time?" My son said they had the most fun with Marine X's package. He said he wasn't sure who we were sending the pack to, but the panties were size 20, and he said one of the guys got on top of the Humvee and jumped off with the panties over his head and yelled, "Look at me, I'm an Airborne Ranger!!!!" One of the guys attached the panties to an antenna and it blew in the wind like a windsock. He said it entertained them for quite awhile. Then, of course, they had those tampons. When he brought this up, my imagination just went running, but he continued. My son said they had to go on a mission and Marine X wanted the Chap-Stick and lotion for the trip. He grabbed a bunch of the items from his care package and got in the Humvee. As luck would have it, he grabbed the tampons too, and my son said everyone was teasing him about "not forgetting his feminine hygiene products." He said things went well for a while, then the convoy was ambushed and a Marine was shot. He said the wound was pretty clean, but it was deep. He said they were administering first aid but couldn't get the bleeding to slow down, and someone said, "Hey! Use Marine X's tampons!" My son said they put the tampon in the wound. At this point my son profoundly told me, "Mom, did you know that tampons expand?" ("Well....yeah!") They successfully slowed the bleeding until the guy got better medical attention. When they went to check on him later, the surgeon told them, "You guys saved his life. If you hadn't stopped that bleeding, he would have bled to death." My Son said, "Mom, the tampons sent by that Marine's Mom by mistake saved a Marine's life." At this point I asked him, "Well, what did you do with the rest of the tampons?" He said, "Oh, we divided them up and we all have them in our flak jackets, and I kept two for our first aid kit." I am absolutely amazed by the ingenuity of our Marines. I can't believe that something that started out as a mistake, then turned into a joke, ended up saving someone's life. My sister said she doesn't believe in mistakes. She believes God had a plan all along. She believes that the "female care package" was sent to Marine X to save our Marine. Either way, our efforts have boosted the morale of many Marines, provided much needed items for our troops, AND saved the life of a Marine! God bless every one of you for your efforts and hard work, and God bless our Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force and all our military service personnel. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND KEEP IT SAFE! I'm not breaking this one. If I get it a 1000 times, I'll forward it a 1000 times! Please send this on after a short prayer. Pray for our soldiers and please don't break this prayer chain!

Who is right in this scenario? Cowboys v Muslims: Three strangers at the Great Falls airport are awaiting their flights. One is a Native American on his way to Helena for a statewide Indian Pow-Wow. Another a ranch hand on his way to Billings Montana for a stock show. The third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived, and on his way to study engineering at Montana Tech. To pass the time they strike up a conversation on recent events, and the discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon the westerners learn that the Arab is a devout radical Muslim, and believes his people are justified in their 'holy' war. The conversation falls into an uneasy lull. The cowpoke leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face. The wind outside blows and blows and the old windsock flaps but no plane comes. Finally, the Native American clears his throat and softly he speaks:" Once, my people were many, now we are few." The radical Muslim raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?" The Cowboy shifts the toothpick to one side of his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson Cowboy Hat says, "That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet boy."

A cowboy, native american and a muslim......? While awaiting their respective flights in the Bozeman, Montana, airport, three strangers strike up a conversation in the passenger lounge...

Another is a Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show, and the third passenger is an Arab student, who has recently arrived from the Middle East to attend Montana State University . Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim. The conversation falls into an uneasy lull. The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table, and tips his big, sweat-stained hat forward to cover his face. As the men continue to wait for their planes, outside the sky grows dark, tumbleweeds are blowing across the tarmac, and the old windsock is flapping in the breeze. After the silence becomes unbearable, the American Indian clears his throat and softly speaks, "At one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few." The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?" The Montana cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a smooth drawl. . .

A Joke About a Cowboy? At a small terminal in the Texas Panhandle, three strangers are awaiting their shuttle flight. One is a Native American passing through from Oklahoma. Another, a local ranch hand on his way to Ft. Worth for a stock show. The third passenger is an Arabic student, newly arrived at theTexas oil patch from the Middle East.
