This Quiz Will Reveal Which "Friends" Character You Really Are

Michael Buratti

This is a good one because it tells you what percentage of each character you are.

Who’ll be there for you?

It's time to find out for definite which Friends character you're most like, and how much like the others you are, too.

A new question will appear after you've given an answer. There are 14 altogether. Ready?

Study Finds 73% Of Marble Statuettes Of Achilles Used To Beat To Death Wealthy Dowager

Michael Buratti

Only 73%...I would have guessed at least in the 80s.

WASHINGTON—According to a study released Wednesday by the American Sociological Association, approximately 73 percent of all marble statuettes of the Greek mythological figure Achilles are used to bludgeon a wealthy dowager to death. “Our research shows that almost two-thirds of marble statuettes depicting Achilles brandishing a sword and shield are at some point used to strike and ultimately kill a widow who inherited the vast fortune of her late husband,” said study co-author Emily Reyment, adding that in over half of documented cases, the large figurine is silently picked up from a pedestal or mantel before being held high over the unsuspecting elderly woman after she had turned away to pour another cup of tea for her guest. “After crushing the dowager’s skull, 22 percent of the blood-stained statuettes are frantically wiped down with a handkerchief and then hidden in the hollow of a grandfather clock, while 15 ...

Expert On International Jewish Conspiracy Has Never Been More Than 40 Miles Outside Council Bluffs, Iowa

Michael Buratti

The joke's on him - the international cabal meets semi-annually in nearby Sioux City, Iowa, and he has NO IDEA!!!!. That's where we do all our planning. Muhahahahaha!!!!!

COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA—As he trumpeted his comprehensive knowledge of the manifold ways that the religious group has colluded to consolidate global power, sources confirmed Wednesday that local man Will Logan, an expert on the international Jewish conspiracy, has never been more than 40 miles outside of Council Bluffs, IA. “The banks, the media, Hollywood—they control it all,” said Logan, a leading authority on the shadowy cabal of Jewry that spans every nation on earth, as well as a man who has never ventured as far as Des Moines, driven for more than an hour in any direction, or boarded an airplane. “They write all the laws themselves and just hand them to the politicians. All those elected officials, they’re just puppets.” Logan, who has also never read a history book, later described how the conspiracy went back centuries.

A nice, light read about a pantry item that some keep in stock. We keep another item in lieu of molasses - cane syrup. But that's a whole other article I'm sure.

Report: Bananas Still Most Popular Fruit For Pretending To Receive Phone Call

Michael Buratti

What about those old-timey phones that had the mouthpiece affixed to the wall and the earpiece on a cord? Can't use a banana to imitate that type of phone.

BALTIMORE—According to a report published Tuesday by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, bananas remain the overwhelming fruit of choice among individuals pretending to receive a telephone call. “Our research found that when subjects simulate the act of answering a phone, the banana is their preferred fruit nearly 100 percent of the time,” said report co-author Martha Gross, who noted that when people seated near a basket of assorted fruit begin to mimic the sound of a ringing telephone, they almost invariably choose to raise a banana to their ear, eschewing all other fruits. “During our study, we never once observed anyone shouting ‘Hello?’ into an apple, pausing for several moments as if listening to the other end of a conversation while holding a peach to the side of their face, or slamming down a bunch of grapes while saying ‘Click!’ For the vast majority of people who hold imaginary ...

Vessel For Male Sexual Gratification Very Sad Today

Michael Buratti

Here's another one.

NEW HAVEN, CT—Noting its slumping posture, slack expression, and overall downcast appearance, sources confirmed Wednesday that a vessel for male sexual gratification was very sad today. “It definitely appears to be upset,” said sources, adding that the object that exists solely for men’s physical pleasure was presently sitting unmoving with a distant, empty stare. “It doesn’t look happy. What’s wrong with it? I don’t like the way it’s ignoring me.” At press time, sources had decided to go over to the sexual apparatus and tell it to smile.

I got a freaking Mountain Hare. Apparently my patronus is an animal woefully low on the food chain. That worries me.

I was hoping for a Liger, Napoleon Dynamite style.

Do you belong in the Oval Office, or in the office down the corridor?

Sbemail - Independent

Michael Buratti

Homestarrunner is still greatness even though their prime was over 10 years ago.

Strong Bad says - Some nerd asks about some crap that I hate like usual and I get a new computer. This is an instance of somebody asking me for something very specific and I instead do an ever-so-gentle dance around what they really want me to say and do. I love to sit back and imagine their dissatisfaction as an increasingly frustrated bald programmer type sitting in a cubicle filled with greasy empty fast food bags. But then again, I like to imagine a lotta things are frustrated bald fast food bag swimmers so, y'know, wahtever. Check out my new computer!
