Sudoku Puzzles

20 hrs and one calendar day ahead- leading the sudoku world!

Good afternoon to all! I've been absent for awhile, so for any special events I've missed, my best wishes are going out to all (even if you didn't have a special event).

Keith, it appears you are back from the land down under. I know you probably had a super time. Glad to see you made it home safely, and welcome home!

As the family gathered for a big dinner together, the youngest son announced that he had just signed up at an army recruiter's
office.
There were audible gasps around the table, then some laughter, as his older brothers shared their disbelief that he could handle this new More...

From me too, Keith and Lynne!

A few quickies for you.....

Why don't aliens eat clowns?
Because they taste funny.

Two snowmen are standing in a field. One says to the other: "Funny, I smell carrots too".

I speak from experience,Greg. If he didn't make his bed before he left for basic, he sure will know how when he returns!!

HI all! Over indulgence in the margarita department yesterday left most of the riddle regulars in a bit of a stupor. However Lonewoof stayed clear of the hard stuff and gave me a correct answer and that other hard-drinker Kathy had to wait to resurface this morning before posting hers! Here's the More...

Here's today's one...answers to the ugly inbox please!
Can you figure out the famous quote below and who said it?

Aye, dame, I am befuddled. But in the forenoon I will be clear-headed and you will still be unsightly.

I'm sober, and I know this one, Fiona!

wasn't addressing you was he? I always wondered who he was referring to!!

I KNOW THE ANSWER FIONA!!!!!

It's Keith, after having had several glasses of chautreuse, talking to one of his wombats. Right?

Good guess, CG, good guess, let me just check to see if I have that answer. Two minutes please.

There are wombats I would never say that to, then there are some that ... even after several Chartreuses ... um ... never mind.

GOD and the UNIVERSE

Once there was a mighty bang,
and our Universe was born,
Divine strings untwined and sprang,
so our ball of space was formed

Noone witnessed this event,
it's been written in the skies.
Our logic traces where stuff went -
with instrumental More...

Good maEn to everyone!

OK, Ian, now what?

I know this has done the rounds before but I don't believe it wil do harm to read it once again.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who

Will I Live to see 80?

Here's something to think about.

I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I just turned 68.)
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, More...

GMo, both posts things we need to remember from time to time.

Dear Ray, your verse has left me spinning.
Where was time before its beginning?
If once there was a time that wasn't
I think you will have to posit
cause and effect, which depend on time
could not happen. My logic's fine?
So before celestial orbs loudly rang
So how could there possibly be a big bang?

I love the obituary GMo! How true!

Happy Birthday to Jan and Terry!

And hi to everyone else. I'm hanging around waiting for my car to be repaired. What better place to hang around in?

Hi Dino! What's wrong with your car?

When God measures a man, He puts the tape around the heart instead of the head.

I have been slowy going though all my boxes and actually getting things done now. My decluttering is in full swing and I now have the will power to actually go thoug with my actions.

Good for you Mary...can you bottle that magic and send it on over here?!

Heidi, in Buddhism, the centre of the mind is in the heart

I thought I would try my hand at container gardening this year -- I'm a little tired of just feeding the rabbits each year -- If anyone has experience in this -- will I be able to see the fruit of my labor ??

hi Becca, the air-conditioner is not working which at this time of the year means the windows fog up or I drive with a cold blast against my right ear. (we drive on the LHS of the road in Australia)

Rayray, I'm still having a problem imagining all that universe bulk as one ball pre-big bang era! And then there's all that dark matter and energy to still account for! See how befuddled I am, ending a sentence with a preposition!

Of course there was that string theory. Now that would be a sight to watch everything snapping back! Would it all go back to same ball as that of pre-big bang time?

Shosho, I don't have a problem with a big ball, but I do have a problem with thinking that time has a beginning. Maybe Rayray can enlighten us.

Maybe the big ball was being held in a string bag.

These are guaranteeeeeed to make you groan in pain.........

1. Two vultures board an airplane, each carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at them and says, "I'm sorry gentlemen, only one carrion allowed per passenger."

2. Two boll weevils grew up in South More...

Or maybe basketball is actually an ancient ritual about the beginning of multiple universes represented by the ball falling in and out of a string bag.

Hmmm that would be interesting, Dino. Actually there wouldn't be a beginning or end with this theory because it's repetitive! Bang (expansion), boing (snapping back), bang, boing, bang, boing . . .
