What Do Ghosts Look Like?

Written by ThreadOfTheDay.com on April 10, 2008 in: supernatural | Tags: ,

Here is a good topic to follow up yesterday’s funeral topic.

I don’t think I believe in ghosts, but the members at GhostVillage.com certainly do.  I accept that I could be wrong.

If there are ghosts, what do they look like?

The experienced members of this forum answer that question for a curious mind.

Funeral Songs

Written by ThreadOfTheDay.com on April 9, 2008 in: music | Tags: , , ,

What song do you want played at your funeral? The ham radio users discuss this in one of their forums at qrz.com.

I would pick the “Na, na, na, na… na, na, na, na… hey, hey, hey… goodbye” song.

Captain Buttonpusher, You Are Cleared For Takeoff

Written by ThreadOfTheDay.com on April 8, 2008 in: workplace | Tags:

Having an annoying co-worker isn’t a problem confined only to ground based jobs.

In this thread at a pilot forum, a First Officer vents his frustration on a type of Captain that bugs him, one that really pushes his buttons, literally. This discussion actually turns a little heated when a couple captains chime in.

I guess the friendly skies can’t always be friendly.

Parent Teacher Conference

Written by ThreadOfTheDay.com on April 6, 2008 in: education | Tags: ,

Some people think teachers are underpaid and some think they are overpaid. I will not get into that debate, but I know I would not want to be in their shoes in this typical situation.

 In this thread a teacher is preparing to have a conference with the parent of a trouble student. Of course the parent thinks their child is an angel and it is all the teacher’s fault. In post #16 you can see a review of how the conference went.

Here is a thread discussing the threat of daytime weasels.

No, they are not talking about backstabing co-workers, but I’m sure there is a thread on that somewhere, too.

Husband Gets Lap Dance

Written by ThreadOfTheDay.com on April 4, 2008 in: advice | Tags: , ,

If a married man pays for a lap dance at a bachelor party, is it just harmless fun or is it disrespectful to the wife? The members of TalkAboutMarriage.com try to ease the mind of of a woman hurt by this.

http://talkaboutmarriage.com/general-relationship-discussion/1040-new-here-need-advise-should-i-offended-my-husband-got-lap-dance-bachelor.html

The husband should have taken a queu from a Seinfeld episode and said “So honey, we had the bachelor party at the strip club, and yada yada now I’m home.” Might have been much easier for both of them.

Moustaches for $800, Alex

Written by ThreadOfTheDay.com on April 3, 2008 in: television | Tags: , , ,

I think several years ago Alex Trebek had a moustache but doesn’t have it anymore. Well, on the April 1st episode of Jeopardy, he was sporting one again. But it would disappear and reappear. Most people probably didn’t even notice, but the members at the Jeopardy fan forum don’t miss anything.

Virgle to Colonize Mars

Written by ThreadOfTheDay.com on April 1, 2008 in: Uncategorized | Tags: , , ,

Today Google has announced it has formed a partnership with Virgin to colonize Mars.  http://www.google.com/virgle/index.html

The new company will be called Virgle. virgle 

Virgle is now accepting applications to become a Virgil pioneer.

Yes, of course it is a humorous April Fools joke, but I think the members of www.newmars.com may be taking it a little seriously. Some don’t seem to know it’s a joke and the ones that do are offended.
