Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Comparison Test

Remarkable - don't miss this: A German scientist did a comparison test to see how many people could tell the difference between the first and second picture.  3 things were different.  Only 49 out of 8,000 were able to solve it.  Can you?  Click below:

I'm not following the link. It's Halloween and I suspect it's one of those Linda Blair Possessed by the Devil pictures which pops up after you screw up your eyes and start looking for some detail in a fairly innocuous picture. Fool me once, shame on you . . . I've only got one pair of underwear with me today and I'm wearing them.

After following the link and looking for the 3 differences for a while... I found myself suddenly shouting 'BIRD DOG YOU BASTARD!!!!'

I of course mean that in the most complementary way possible.

You owe me:
-one pair of new ears
-A new ticker, I am pretty certain the factory installed unit has stopped
-A dose of aspirin for a sudden headache (see the first point)

My attorney will be contacting you with an extended list.

Seriously, this is not what I have come to expect from Maggie's Farm.

I will tread lightly around here come 4-1-07.

It's EXACTLY what I expect from Maggies Farm...a wonderful sense of humor that keeps me guessing! Good one!

I followed the link while at work last nite, by opening another tab on Mozilla, then went back to looking over other new stuff on the page and forgot about the comparison test. My first tho't moments later was that the music CD I was playing didn't have that horrible scratch in it the last time I listened! My coworkers had other, probably unprintable thoughts.
