Do cats have belly buttons?

Hmmm....  Verifying the answer to this question could be a little risky.  We all know that cats aren't the most cooperative creatures in the world.  Besides that, they have those nasty little claws...  
Virtually all mammals have umbilical cords and hence navels.  Cats navels don't look quite like humans, more like a scar really.  But since they're hidden by hair and located just alongside their rib cage, it's quite understandable that they are often overlooked.  And if you don't want to take Reeko's word on this - ask Dad to check it out for you...

How do chickens sit on eggs without crushing them?

Quite simple really.  They don't really 'sit' on the egg but rather, squat over it - their legs support most of their weight.   The nesting materials provide further cushion.  Combine all this with the fact that the underside of the chicken is rather 'V' shaped and you can easily see why chickens lay eggs and not omelets...

Is it true that water spirals down the drain in one direction in the Northern Hemisphere and in the opposite direction in the Southern Hemisphere?

Yes and No.
Oh, I guess you're looking for a more detailed explanation than that...

There is a phenomena called the Coriolis effect which explains the effect of the earth's rotation on moving objects.  Imagine the earth rotating counter clockwise as viewed from the top (the Northern Hemisphere).  If you were to move to the bottom of the earth (the Southern Hemisphere) the earth would be rotating clockwise.  This rotation does indeed effect the rotation of certain objects - a hurricane rotates in a clockwise direction the the Southern Hemisphere and in a counterclockwise direction the the Northern Hemisphere.  But does water drain in a clockwise direction the the Southern Hemisphere and in a counterclockwise direction the the Northern Hemisphere?   Highly unlikely.  The Coriolis effect amounts to roughly 3/10,000,000 of the force of gravity, negligible to say the least in small events like toilet flushings.   Other factors play a much larger part in drainage direction - small imperfections or shape distortions in the sink or tub, the micro movement of the water by outside disturbances such as the act of pouring the water in the drain (which, although undetectable by your eyes, may continue for several hours after the fact), and so on.   So, in summary, we're back to our original answer - 'Yes' and 'No'...

Yesterday I watched Oprah Winfrey as she took her show to New Orleans and she showed many disturbing scenes and talked with many people who have been trying to survive since the most devastating storm,hurricane katrina.
I watched the show but cried the whole time and was so depressed that I couldn't sleep last night.

I need to get back to my funny pictures of the day as amongst all this heart-breaking media coverage of the katrina aftermath we still need to move forward and we must laugh sometimes or we will only continue to cry.

I have been wondering if it is worth having a blog on tblog's site.I usually am a very upbeat person,but since coming to tblog I have lost some of my spirit and my happiness.
Since being here for a few months I have met some really awesome people,but they are few and far between.I continue to blame some of this on tblogs hotblog..which I don't understand the reason for that feature other than it makes people greedy and rude.
Everyone loves to see their blogs on the top ten list,but the price they pay for it to appear if and when it ever does.Most of the time that feature is so messed up and blogs that truly belong on the list never make it,but the smucky ones always do.I also continue to see those that want people to visit there blogs and leave comments but they are not courteous enough to leave comments on some of the other blogs.

I think that the new blog Wall of Shame by theobservers is an awesome idea and hope that it does shame some of the bloggers into being better with their manners and know that we are all bloggers and like our words or whatever our blogs have to say be seen by others.

I did my research as I love to do and here is the definition of a blog.

what makes a good blog?

A good blog has style and panache. Anybody can post links and echo what other people write, but a good blog has PERSONALITY. The writer, the individual, shines through IN THE WORDS. And if you ever meet that person, you'll discover that what you see is what you get. I like honest blogs.

A successful blog (or blogger) is…

Well written. Good content will make or break your blog. Period. This it the #1 thing that makes a blog successful in my book.

Frequently updated. Unless you’re a guru of some sort you really need to stay on top of it. This can be a real challenge.

Consistent. This is kind of a combination of the first two. I like sites that are able to maintain quality and frequency overtime.

Open. I like to read people who are honest and willing to talk about tough issues in a free and open way.

Responsive. Those who respond to feedback and try to adapt to the wants and needs of their audience get high marks from me.

Well designed. Yes, I do judge a blog by its design. It’s not the most important thing, but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t matter at all.

Aware of its audience. If you don’t know your audience it’ll show.

Varied in topic. I feel there are lots of people who would disagree with this, but I like sites that change the subject every once in awhile.

Personal. I tend to enjoy a blog with a bit of a personality. I want to “get to know”, to a certain degree, the person(s) behind the site. Tone and style have a lot to do with this

Thick skinned. With any successful site comes nay-sayers, trolls, pedants and spammers

Honest. Readers are smart and they can smell bullshit.

Accountable. Mistakes are inevitable and there are times when it’s best to fess up and admit where you’re wrong.

Funny. I like a blog that can make me laugh on occasion.

Are zebras black with white stripes, or white with black stripes?

Why do most cars have speedometers that go up to at least 130 when you legally can't go that fast on any road?

How can something be new and improved? if it's new, what was it improving on?

Did you ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you? But when you take him in a car, he sticks his head out the window!

Why are they called stairs inside but steps outside?

Europe Readies Katrina Aid to Send to U.S.

The first plane including food rations arrived Monday from Britain and was unloaded in preparation for the seven-hour drive to New Orleans.

"The United States has been enormously grateful for the outpouring of support both emotional and concrete from allies over the past week," said Victoria Nuland, the U.S. ambassador to  NATO.

NATO officials said the alliance was coordinating offers of food, shelter and other aid from several allies, including Germany, Canada and Norway which was offering navy divers as well as 10,000 blankets. Latvia and France were preparing to send disaster relief teams.

Non-NATO members were also working with the alliance disaster coordination center, including Switzerland and Russia, which has offered generators, tents and 10,000 meals.

Germany and Britain had already sent 570,000 emergency food rations over the weekend, while Luxembourg was preparing to send a team of five aid experts, two jeeps, and bedding. The Netherlands had deployed a naval frigate, which was transporting drinking water, medical supplies and much needed helicopters.

Many European countries have pledged to release parts of their strategic oil and gas reserves to stabilize global oil supplies.

Bangladesh, an impoverished delta nation that is regularly buffeted by cyclones and floods, pledged $1 million and offered the services of rescuers and disaster experts.

Corporations including Microsoft Corp., Nike Inc., Dillard's Inc. and the Trump Group have already pledged donations to the fund, and Wal-Mart and the Walton Family Foundation have given $23 million.

A brief history of Labor Day
The origins of Labor Day are more than a century old.

The first Labor Day parade in New York City was held in September 1982. Two men are credited with playing an important role not only in bringing about the parade but the holiday as well. Matthew Maguire, a machinist from Paterson, N.J., and Peter J. McGuire, a New York City carpenter who helped found the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, are said to have suggested a holiday to honor working people in the United States. In 1887, Oregon became the first state to make Labor Day a legal holiday, and in 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed a bill making Labor Day a national holiday.

Labor Day is observed as a legal holiday on the first Monday in September throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. In Australia, Labor Day is called Eight Hour Day, and it commemorates the successful struggle for a shorter working day. In Europe, Labor Day is observed on May 1, also known as May Day.

Have A Safe And Happy Labor Day!

who isn't willing to waste their time on
you.

9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few
wrong people before meeting the right one,
so that when we finally meet the person,
we will know how to be grateful.

10. Don't cry because it is over, smile
because it happened.

11. There's always going to be people that
hurt you so what you have to do is keep on
trusting and just be more careful about
who you trust next time around.

12. Make yourself a better person and
know who you are before you try and
know someone else and expect them to
know you.

13. Don't try so hard, the best things come
when you least expect them to.

REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS,
HAPPENS FOR A REASON

Claim: The image below has been circulated as a phenomenon caused by a recent hurricane in Florida, producing three waterspout vortex tornadoes a few miles offshore.

Reasons to believe it's Authentic: Tornado occurrences often form in multiple vortexes, and are a common result of pressure differences and weather patterns associated with tropical storms including hurricanes.

Reasons to believe it's a Hoax: The far right twister appears to be authentic, but the other two seem fabricated. Take a close look at the sudden color change of the background near the middle twister. What are your thoughts?

Claim: The image below depicts a man sticking his index finger through his nasal cavity and, amazingly, out of his eye.

Reasons to believe it's Authentic: There is no shortage of "circus sideshows" and gag-worthy skills in the human race. While not entirely appetizing, this image appears to be genuine.

Reasons to believe it's a Hoax: His finger seems as though it is longer than usual. What are your thoughts?

Today was a beautiful and fun day as my family from out of state has been visiting and we enjoyed these days together with lots of site seeing,shopping and just talking and sharing wonderful moments and memories,lots of those.

I came home with a warm heart and feeling that I needed to relax and my relaxation after a busy day is to come to tblog,see what friends are on and check my post to see if there are comments to reply to because I love comments and like to reply to each one.

Tonight tblog was kind enough to give me some chat cell time,and the first thing I knew a person started asking me why I will not visit their blog and comment.I try to be as nice and polite as I can with this person,but they seem to feel the need to continue to the point that I stop talking.

I have been told that I am rude,my blog is annoying at times and how can I put funny pictures after I had pointed out that there are people going through a terrible ordeal in New Orleans and surrounding areas.My response to this is.I have been watching everything they show daily on the news and it breaks my heart and brings tears to my eyes,no let me refraise that,it really makes me cry.So I am not unsensitive to what these people are enduring and as for my funny post and jokes I will explain.

The most important person in my life,my best friend ever was my Dad.When I was 7 years old my dad was in a very bad automobile accident which they didn't think he would live as his brain was damaged they thought to almost unrepairable,but a great surgeron did a 16 hour operation,however my father was like an infant.He did live after the critical 48 hours we had to wait.My father then spent the next 2 years of his life having to learn everything all over again.He was like an infant,which meant he had to learn how to do everything.
This was a very hard time in our lives,but with the help of great doctors and staff,our love and yes the hand of God my father went on to live a good life,he however had a metal plate in his head and at times when he was tired his speech would become a little slurred,but he was alive and our lives were again happy.After all that he and our family went through my dad taught me that there are two things you can do when faced with fear,pain,suffering and tragedies,you can feel sorry for yourself,be miserable and make others around youjust as miserable or you can make the best of things and laugh as much as you can.

I never forgot that when my best friend,my dad died 5 years ago and yes I cried and my life was again painful,and this time I knew he wasn't coming back,but I decided that I had to move forward,through tears then laughter as he wouldn't want me to feel sorry for myself.
So I am living my life the way my daddy would want me to.I don't want to sit and cry and when I think of my dad,there is only laughter of all the happy moments in my life and the wonderful things that my dad and I did together,so my blog is a reflection of what my dad would want and expect from me.

If my blog bores anyone or offends anyone,I appologize and I do not get mad or expect you to feel that you have to come visit it.We all have the right to visit those that we feel interest us or make us happy.I try to respect others as that is how I was taught by my parents,we always get back what we give out.

So Daddy my blog is a reflection of you and what you taught me and its in your honor.

I want to close by saying when you complain about the little things take time and stop and think about what is going on all around us.How lucky we are compared to those people who have been victimized by Hurricane Katrina...then realize yours problems are small compared to theirs..Bless them all.

HOOSE HOW YOU START YOUR DAY.

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate.

He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say.

When someone would ask him how he was doing, would reply, "If I were
any better, I would be twins!"

He was a natural motivator.

If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the
employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to
Michael and asked him, "I don't get it!  You can't be a positive person all of the time.

How do you do it?"

Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have
two choices today.  You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can
choose to be in a bad mood.

I choose to be in a good mood.

Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can

choose to learn from it.  I choose to learn from it.

Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept
their complaining or...

I can point out the positive side of life.  I choose the positive side of life.

"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested. "Yes, it is," Michael said.

"Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every
situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations.
You choose how people affect your mood.
You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.
The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life."

I reflected on what Michael said.  Soon hereafter, I left the Tower
Industry to start my own business.  We lost touch, but I often thought about him
when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that Michael was involved in a serious
accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael was
released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.

I saw Michael about six months after the accident.  When I asked him
how he was, he replied. "If I were any better, I'd be twins.  Wanna see my scars?"

I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through
his mind as the accident took place.

"The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my
soon to be born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, I
remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or... I could
choose to die. I chose to live."

"Weren't you scared?  Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.

Michael continued, "...the paramedics were great. They kept telling me
I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the
expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really
scared. In their eyes, I read "he's a dead man. I knew I needed to take action."

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Michael.
"She asked if I was allergic to anything.
"Yes, I replied." The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited
for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, "Gravity."  Over their laughter, I
told them, "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."

Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing
attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.

Attitude, after all, is everything.

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about
itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
