| Lima Beans  P. lunatus is a legume. It is grown for its seed, which is eaten as a vegetable. It is commonly known as the lima bean or butter bean; it is also known as Haba bean, Pallar bean, Burma bean, Guffin bean, Hibbert bean, Sieva bean, Rangood bean, Madagascar bean, Paiga, Paigya, prolific bean, civet bean and sugar bean.
The term butter bean is widely used for a large, flat, and white variety of lima bean (P. lunatus var. macrocarpus, or P. limensis[1]), however, in the Southern United States the Sieva type are traditionally called butter beans, also otherwise known as the Dixie or Henderson type. In that area, Lima beans and butter beans are seen as two distinct types of beans. In the United Kingdom, a "butter bean" is a dried bean which can be purchased either to re-hydrate (in the same manner as dried peas) or as canned (tinned) and ready to use. In culinary use, lima beans and butter beans are distinctly different, the former being small and green, the latter large and yellow. - wikipedia
 I have never heard someone say they love lima beans. Did your mom try to make you eat lima beans?
Well - it's not Mother's Day anymore - so you don't have to eat them today!
I am kinda indifferent towards lima beans.

Fur Seal Caught Trying to Seduce Penguin May 5, 2008An Antarctic fur seal has been observed trying to mate with a King Penguin. The South African-based scientists who witnessed the incident say it is the most unusual case of mammal mating behavior yet known. The incident, which lasted for 45 minutes and was caught on camera, is reported in the Journal of Ethology. The bizarre event took place on a beach on Marion Island, a sub-Antarctic island that is home to both fur seals and King Penguins. Why the seal attempted to have sex with the penguin is unclear. But the scientists who photographed the event speculate that it was the behavior of a frustrated, inexperienced young male seal. Equally, it might be been an aggressive, predatory act; or even a playful one that turned sexual. "At first glimpse, we thought the seal was killing the penguin," says Nico de Bruyn, of the Mammal Research Institute at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. For the original article, go here!
Editorial Comment: I always wonder who is paying the scientists to record this stuff! Obviously, it was the tuxedo that did the trick!
Missing Cat Found on Internet Tuesday, May 6, 2008
A cat who has been missing from a Cornish village for eight months has been found – with help from across the Atlantic.
Jerry was spotted by a US woman watching a webcam. She saw him most evenings, bedding down on the doorstep of a hotel in Polperro and posted a message on a village forum.
'Now we are trying to catch him there - but he is proving a bit elusive,' said Jerry's owner, 30-year-old Abbi Rendell.
'But at least I know he is safe and well.'

Editorial Comment: So let me get this straight... A lady in the U.S. was watching the door of a hotel in Polperro on a webcam nightly? What was she looking for?
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!
TO THE BEST DEN MOTHER THAT A GROUP OF FOOLS COULD EVER HAVE!
TONS OF LOVE!
SPAZZZ, TUDE and the Den of Fools!
Dear Miss Smarty Pants,
Why is Tude's Belly Button green? Is it jealous of something?
Anatomically wondering
Dear Anatomically Wondering,
It is because she doesn't have a belly zipper. A belly button was all that they could find on her. Of course it is jealous. Everyone knows zippers are better than buttons.
Miss Smarty Pants
Dear Miss Smarty Pants,
HEY!! Donkey stole my choclate!! Why did he do THAT???
Devastated Spazzz
Dear Spazzz,
That was a whole year ago! You should check the date. I know that Donkey has given you chocolate since then. It was your brothers machine in the first place. I know how you are with wires, you should consider rewiring that machine to go back in time and keep your chocolate. Donkey is a good engineer. He could help.
Miss Smarty Pants
 | Well, that's the way it was!
Your Donkey on the Beat, signing off until next week!

Why do we go under over-passes and over under-passes?
If the plural of "mouse" is "mice, shouldn't the plural of "house" be "hice"?
Why do scientists call it research when looking for something new?

A man walks into a bar and orders a beer. He takes his first sip and sets it down. While he is looking around the bar, a monkey swings down and steals the pint of beer from him before he is able to stop the monkey.
The man asks the barman who owns the monkey. The barman replies the piano player. The man walks over to the piano player and says "Do you know your monkey stole my beer." The pianist replies "No, but if you hum it, I'll play it." |

| Hershey's Chocolate Bar - RepostedThis is a post from about a year ago - but it was good - so here it is again! There's nothing quite like a Hershey's
Chocolate Bar!
 Yum! But Tude wants to know what I would do to get
one!
 This weekend while Aloysius_son was out in the woods, I decided
to take a crack at fixing his transporter! He was having a few
technical problems with it!
When I opened up the
back I found...
 Tangled and twisted
wires... Loose screws... (I knew there was a screw
loose someplace!)
 Mixed
nuts...
 And a bunch of pictures of assorted
hooters! (Well, maybe not that kind.)
After I
cleaned out all the junk and straightened the wires - it started to
work!
So I decided to test
it!
Energize!
Got it! Beam me
up!
It worked!
Meanwhile, Tude has 5 question for
me:
Q: How come your site sux like an
anteater?
A: Non sequitur! Since maybe 50+% of my site focuses
on your family and you, I would have to say it does not suck like an
anteater! Does it???
Q: If you could be any human you wanted
to be, who would you be?
A: The human God wants me to be. I
hope I figure that out someday!
Q: If
Spaz ate all of your chocolate and chocolate was all you had to eat
would you take a chomp out of spaz?
A: Unlikely! Since Spazzz
is much younger and in better shape than I, it is unlikely I would
outlive her! She would probably be chowing down on donkey steaks!
Besides, in my current healthy state, I think I would rather die than
chomp out on Spazzz. But, you know, you feel differently when you are
starving.
Q: Does
Flash use you as a manikin head when she is trying out new MK products?
If not, why?
A: MK does not approve of animal
testing!
Q: When
are you taking your next vacation and where are you going to
go?
A: I do not know! First, we would have to find a cat sitter!
The cat is very spoiled! After that, I can not decide whether I would
like to go to Durango, Maui, Rochester, Sacramento, Pennsylvania,
Michigan, Illinois, or Alaska... Someplace cool, though and with neat
people! I might have to talk to Flash - she might want to go
someplace...

| My First Electric Guitar My first electric guitar looked a lot like this one - a Framus.
The first decent amp I had to go with it was a Traynor GuitarMate - like this one.
I was a nice tube amp, with a 12 inch speaker.
The first tune I played on it was All My Loving.
That was quite a while ago.
| Dead Turkey Joke of the Day
Q: How do you get an electric guitarist to turn down his amp?
A: Put a piece of sheet music in front of him.
Q: What do you call two electric guitarists trying to play in unison?
A: Counterpoint.
Q: What is the first sign you're Halluncinating?
A: Two electric guitar players are playing in tune.
Q: How do you get 2 electric guitar players to play in perfect unison?
A: Shoot one of them.
