So what did you do during the holidays? If you're like me (and lots of other folks I've compared notes with) mine was quieter than usual. I watched so many videos with family. Can't remember when I had so much luxury of time to waste. But lest you think it was just nonsensical entertainment, I actually immersed myself in documentaries and talk shows. What can I say? This world is full of extremely intelligent people. I'm totally psyched! In Japan, they have created the first human-engineered retina using stem cell technology. Inspired by the horrible tsunami, a Japanese inventor developed Polymer Concrete which may revolutionize construction. In New York, two broadcasters have a mission to explore concepts and ideas sharing their findings in an ongoing project called Radiolab. I watched a long lost video interview of Steve Jobs which was taken in 1995 --- which was just a year before he was re-hired to chair Apple. Apple was in such a bad shape the company was 90 days away from bankruptcy. I followed the lives of video game designers (Indie Game: The Movie) --- about the intense stress, the isolation from society --- each with the modern American dream of creating a multi-million dollar game. And this is just the tip of my holiday video iceberg. We live in exciting times and the world is full of creative people. As Steve Jobs said, the computer has given us the ability to go beyond our wildest dreams. 2013, here I come! Are you coming with me? |

to this week's winners: This email is dedicated to all the workers of the world! As you know, I just re-send the best joke(s) and entertaining emails I get from people all over the world. Then I add my own original drawings (which I create on the spot as I put this email together) to give it a personal touch. Most of the time I create this a few hours before Friday midnight so if you catch a few typos, blame my tired mind and fingers. If this is your first time to receive this, welcome to a new and (hopefully) entertaining addiction. |
Be sure to send me your favorite jokes. The newer the better. If it makes me laugh it could be among the TGIF Jokes of the week. Why not give your friends the gift of Funny Fridays? Subscribe them to Raoul's TGIF Jokes.
TGIF people!

The difference between in-laws and outlaws?
Outlaws are wanted!
Team Effort
sent by Ron of Pasadena, CA
A senior drove her car into a ditch just outside of town. Luckily, a local farmer came along with a big strong horse named Buddy. He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled, "Pull, Nellie, pull!" Buddy didn't move.
Then the farmer hollered, "Pull, Buster, pull!" Buddy didn't move.
Once more the farmer commanded, "Pull, Molly, pull!" Still, Buddy didn't move.
Finally the farmer said, "Pull, Buddy, pull!" And the horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch.
The senior was most appreciative, but curious. She asked the farmer, "How come you called your horse by the wrong name three times?"
"Oh," the farmer said, "Buddy can't see anything, and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn't even try!"
Brain Study
Teaser sent by Naomi of North Hollywood, CA
I've seen this with the letters out of order, but this is the first time I've seen it with numbers.
Good example of a Brain Study: If you can read this OUT LOUD you have a strong mind.
And better than that: Alzheimer's is a long, long ways down the road before it ever gets anywhere near you.
