If God is an engineer
Three engineering students are discussing what sort of God must have designed the human body. The first says, “God must be a mechanical engineer. Look at all the joints.”
The second says, “I think God must be an electrical engineer. The nervous system has thousands of electrical connections.”
The third says, “Actually, God is a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?”

Pacquiao Wins!
HungryPeople sends our deepest congratulations to Manny Pacquiao for winning his fight against Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto.
Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao made history Sunday (Philippine time) when he won the Welterweight Title, his 7th in as many divisions, after defeating Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto, the reigning champion in that division.
Pacquiao has won the world championships in the Flyweight (112 pounds), Super Bantamweight (122 lb), Featherweight (126 lb), Super Featherweight (130 lb), Lightweight (135 lb), and Light Welterweight (140 lb).
No man has won seven world titles in seven weight divisions and only five boxers have won six – Pacquiao, Oscar de la Hoya, Thomas Hearns, Hector Camacho, and James Toney.

Moses, Jesus and a bearded old man played golf one day
Moses, Jesus, and a bearded old man are playing golf. Moses drives a long one, which lands on the fairway but rolls directly toward the pond. Moses raises his club, parts the water, and the ball rolls safely to the other side.
Jesus also hits a long one toward the same pond, but just as it's about to land in the center, it hovers above the surface. Jesus casually walks out on the pond and chips it onto the green.
The bearded man's drive hits a fence and bounces out onto the street, where it caroms off an oncoming truck and back onto the fairway. It's headed directly for the pond, but it lands on a lily pad, where a frog sees it and snatches it into his mouth. An eagle swoops down, grabs the frog, and flies away. As the eagle and frog pass over the green, the frog drops the ball, and it lands in the cup for a hole-in-one.
Moses turns to Jesus and says, “I hate playing with your dad.”

The Fun Theory
This is obviously a form of advertisement. But what the heck, it's a great exercise in creativity. I hope they make more stairs like these.
Check out what the fun theory is all about in this video experiment.
Fun can really make the world a better place. Let's have more fun!

How Hot Is Hell?
(photo courtesy of religion-cults.com)
This is probably geekiest joke we've read. But its funny! Read on. Thanks to Carmen over at fetchplus.posterous.com.
The following is a question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term.
The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
-
If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
-
If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over..
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God.'
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.

My Point Exactly
A ninety-year-old man went to the doctor and said, “Doctor, my eighteen-year-old wife is expecting a baby.”
The doctor said, “Let me tell you a story. A man went hunting, but instead of a gun, he picked up an umbrella by mistake. When a bear suddenly charged at the man, he picked up the umbrella, shot the bear, and killed it.”
The man said, “Impossible. Someone else must have shot the bear.”
The doctor said, “My point exactly.”

Brazil man appears at own funeral
This is probably one of the funniest joke stories we've read. But wait a second... It's true. It actually happened.
It seems a man attended his own funeral. How can this happen?
"A 59-year-old Brazilian man has surprised his family by turning up at his own funeral, local media report.
Relatives of Ademir Jorge Goncalves, a bricklayer, had identified him as the victim of a car crash in southern Parana state the previous day. Police told O Globo newspaper that relatives had trouble identifying the corpse because it was badly disfigured." - from BBC News

Bodega, The Next Best Thing?
This is not a joke.
We posted this on Joking Gorilla instead of HungryPeople because we want it to be light reading compared to the serious topics discussed in HungryPeople.
In our first article yesterday, we discussed ways on How To Become A Billionaire. Today, we show YOU one example that might just do the trick. If the management team of Bodega executes this right, they might be on to something BIG (hint: they might make big money).
There's a new exciting platform in town. Bodega hopes to help YOU turn your virtual goods into cash. Yes, YOU read that right. Bodega will work across different games and eventually most social networking sites to help YOU exchange or sell your virtual goods for the REAL THING – CASH.
This is actually the holy grail of the gaming industry. Though if YOU were a developer or new company, YOU would probably like to develop the next coolest game in town. Sooner or later, players will move on to the next coolest game and YOU need to come up with another cool thing.
Bodega is different. Whatever game players play, Bodega can help them transition by offering a platform where they can offer their current “status” and all that it entails to interested players and move on to the next catch. This will further enhance our gaming experience as this will enable “players” with cash to buy status or the virtual goods of already established players. Bodega hopes to be that platform.
This is an exciting opportunity and no company has yet gained market leadership on this point. Here's an interesting piece written by Jason Kincaid for TechCrunch that discusses this new gaming platform:
“As more games on the web begin to embrace virtual currency, users often run into the same problem: they’ve racked up mountains of whatever currency they’ve been playing with, but then don’t have a way to actually do anything with it outside of that game. Sure, they can always buy the latest tractor or weapon to arrive in their game, but at some point that gets old and they’re ready to cash out and move on to something new. Enter Bodega, a new platform that’s looking to help users swap virtual goods and currencies across different games, and even across different social networks.”

One last thing, Joking Gorilla thinks the name Bodega is boring. Any suggestions?
