That's perfect; I can't wait to see what you do with it. I should have known your artistic eye would be partial to that one.

This is touching . . . .

It's funny how a farmer spends countless hours getting land ready, from disking all the way to planting. He spends $1000's of dollars on fuel, equipment, and repair bills. He spends many nights laying in bed praying for rain or sunshine instead of sleeping. He sweats like no other job will make you. He works like most people wouldn't. He gets yelled at and cussed out by people that get caught behind the tractor traveling down the road, and he spends many minutes of the day wondering if it's worth it! And he does all of this for these tiny seeds! Ask yourself, "Why would he do that?" The answers are all around you.. The plate of food sitting in front of you, the clothes on your back, the shoes on your feet, and the last answer is the is the one that puzzles most people. It's the dust, love for agriculture, and the satisfaction knowing he done his part at the end of the day! I'd like to thank all the farmers out there that help make the world go round!

We have a huge field behind, and beside us, and I have seen the farmer out there till way after dark sometimes.
Then when there are no crops in his field there are people next door, and down the road that get in the field with their four runners, and tear his field up. Pisses me off to no end.

Wasn't that amazing? The feeling he must get, knowing he can run that fast.The Freeze will now haunt my dreams. Thanks.
Man, that guy was a cheetah!
I know grin willard posted this several weeks ago, and I cannot stop listening to it. To say this man was amazing just doesn't say enough. It's like he's not even a real human being, the way he can sing those notes. His expression after his last note is one of the most beautiful parts of the whole video. Do yourself a favor and watch. If you're like I, you will count yourself graced to have been on the same planet with this man.
Here's the English translation. Beautiful.
No one sleeps!
No one sleeps!
Even you, oh princess,
in your cold room,
look at the stars
that tremble with love
and hope!
But my mystery; it is locked in me.
And my name,no one will know!
No, no!
On your mouth
I will say it,
when the light
will shine!
And my kiss will break the silence,
that makes you mine!
His name no one will know...
And we shall have, alas, to die, to die...!
Disperse, o night!
Vanish, oh stars!
Vanish, oh stars!
At daybreak, I will win!
I will win!
I will win!

Going just by the title of this thread, I'm guessing these little bits of trivia are appropriate....
A cheetah is the only cat that does not have retractable claws in order to give it better traction while running.
A cockroach can live without its head for 9 days before it dies of thirst.
A bitch can become pregnant with the sperm of more than one dog in a single pregnancy. That is, give birth to pups with different fathers in one litter.
When the mummy of Ramses II was shipped to France for a museum exhibit in the 70's it was issued a passport. That passport listed an occupation: King (deceased).

I love this...and Liszt's Liebestraum, too, lol.
One time I played for my cousin's wedding, sitting at the black grand in the living room which was near the cabana. People came one by one, dressed in formal wear and holding cocktails, asking me to play their requests.
