A US Navy Admiral was attending a naval
conference that included 20 Admirals
from the US, English, Canadian,
Australian and French Navies.
At a
reception, he found himself standing
with a huge group of officers that
included personnel from most of the
countries.
Everyone was chatting
away in English as they sipped their
drinks, but a French admiral suddenly
complained that, whereas Europeans learn
many languages, Americans learn only
English. He then asked:
"Why is it
that we always have to speak English in
these conferences rather than speaking
French?"
Without hesitating, the
American Admiral replied:
"Maybe
it's because the Brit's, Canadians,
Aussie's and Americans arranged it so
you wouldn't have to speak German".
You could've heard a pin drop...

Gravity
When NASA first started
sending up astronauts, they quickly
discovered that ball-point pens would
not work in zero gravity. To combat this
problem, NASA scientists spent a decade
and $12 billion developing a pen that
writes in zero gravity, upside-down, on
almost any surface including glass and
