Typically female.............
This is the fairy tale that we should have been reading as little girls!
Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat, contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.
A frog hopped into the princess' lap and said: Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young Prince that I am and then, my sweet, we can marry and set up housekeeping in your castle with my mother, where you can satisfy my needs, prepare and serve my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so.
That night, as the princess dined sumptuously on lightly sauteed frog legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled and thought to herself:
I DON'T F***ING THINK SO!!!!! .
AND TYPICALLY MALE
spending the day at the zoo. She was wearing a loose-fitting, pink dress -
sleeveless with straps. He was wearing his usual jeans and T-shirt. As they
walked through the ape exhibit, they passed in front of a large, silverback
gorilla.
Noticing the wife, the gorilla went crazy. He jumped on the bars, and
holding on with one hand (and 2feet), he grunted and pounded his chest
with his free hand. He was obviously excited at the pretty lady in the
pink dress. The husband, noticing the excitement, thought this was funny.
He suggested that his wife tease the poor fellow some more by puckering
her lips and wiggling her bottom. She played along and the gorilla got even
more excited, making noises that would wake the dead.
Then the husband suggested that she let one of her straps fall to show a little more skin. She did, and the gorilla was about to tear the bars down.
"Now show your thighs and sort of fan your dress at him," he said.
This drove the gorilla absolutely crazy, and he started doing flips. Then
the husband grabbed his wife, ripped open the door to the cage, flung
her in with the gorilla and slammed the cage door shut.
"Now, tell him you have a headache."

RAFMAN & PIPPAGIRL, welcome both to the blog proper, they've spent three months "googling for google" well it's a long story but now they are able to get google and consequently the blog!
Meanwhile there's only one newsreader left in 'Strictly fall flat on your arseing' and it's our KAY, complete with black eye. Well done to the best newsreader in the world ever and even better to the make up department!
For the record Ulrika should have gone but hey I haven't finished the first saucer of milk yet! Not a good enough reason really to post yet another pic of KAY but the thought was there!
A real photographic weekend with my new cam and just a few of the results of nearly 200 taken between Saturday and Sunday and I didn't even move out of Birkenhead. Sad but you know that!
check the time with The One O Clock Gun
So who said there is no shipbuilding left in Birkenhead.
This is really the most amazing building and I am going to feature it again,
I promise.....
By the way it's the Ventilator Shaft for the Birkenhead Mersey Tunnel

WORMS
Four worms were placed into four separate jars.
The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.
The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.
The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.
The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.
At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:
The first worm in alcohol -
Dead.
The second worm in cigarette smoke -
Dead.
Third worm in chocolate syrup -
Dead .
Fourth worm in good clean soil -
Alive.
So the Minister asked the congregation -
"What can you learn from this demonstration?"
Maxine was sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said,
"As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!"

Delayed convict steals car to get back to jail
DUBLIN, Jan 25 (Reuters Life!) - An Irish convict who stole a car to get back to prison after missing a weekend release deadline has been given a six month suspended jail sentence.
Trevor Doyle, 25, grabbed the vehicle after falling asleep on a bus and overshooting his stop near Shelton Abbey open prison in Arklow on Ireland's southeast coast, Wexford district court officials said Thursday.
The court, which would not reveal the man's prior conviction, also fined him 300 euros ($390) for failing to submit to a breathalyzer test.
ANIMAL SOUNDS
"Davey, what sound does a cow make?"
Davey replied, "It goes 'moo'."
"Alice, what sound does a cat make?"
Alice said, "It goes 'meow'."
"Jamie, what sound does a lamb make?"
Jamie said, "It goes 'baaa'."

THE 500TH BLOG!
Virgin lizard becomes new parent
A female Komodo dragon which laid fertilised eggs despite being a virgin is now a mother and "father" of five.
Flora produced a clutch of 10 eggs without mating at Chester Zoo, Cheshire, in May 2006.
Although other lizards reproduce this way, it has only recently been recognised in Komodo dragons.
The five male hatchlings are up to 18 inches (46cm) long and weigh about 4ozs (113g). Two eggs are still in incubation and three others collapsed.
The newborn lizards feed on locusts and crickets and can be seen at the zoo from Easter.
The hatchlings are black and yellow, but the bright colours will fade with time.
Genetic fingerprinting
Kevin Buley, curator of lower vertebrates and invertebrates at Chester Zoo, said: "Flora is oblivious to the excitement she has caused, but we are delighted to say she is now a mum and dad.
"When the first of the babies hatched, we didn't know whether to make her a cup of tea or pass her the cigars."
The hatchlings, who will be moved to an enclosure on public display at the zoo around Easter, will grow to three metres in length - the Komodo dragon is the world's largest lizard.
Mr Buley said the young reptiles had not been named yet.
"As Komodo dragons can live for over 40 years, we want to get the names just right," he said.
Threatened species
When Flora, one of the zoo's two female Komodo dragons, laid her eggs in May, they were put in an incubator where three collapsed.
On opening them, staff discovered they contained embryos, and genetic fingerprinting by scientists at Liverpool University showed Flora's eggs had developed without being fertilised by sperm - a process called parthenogenesis.
All Komodo dragons bred in this way will be male.
The new clutch are the first Komodo dragons to born at Chester Zoo, where Flora and sister Nessie are part of a European zoo breeding programme to protect the threatened species.
It is believed there are fewer than 4,000 Komodo dragons left in the world, and those living in the wild live on three islands in Indonesia, which they swim between.
While not poisonous, their saliva contains a host of deadly bacteria. In the wild they ambush and bite their prey and then track it for up to two days until it dies of blood poisoning
FOR MY 500TH BLOG A PICTURE OF FLORA TAKEN IN JULY 2005.

otro punto para el Espiritu Santo
parece ser que tenemos a otra Maria entre nosotros."Flora es ajena a la emoción que causó, pero nos complace decir que ella es ahora mamá y papá"pd: me pregunto, los dragoncitos estos serán otros cinco mesias?
Loving Google's language tool the way I do
this roughly (very) translates to :
another point for the Spirit Santo
it seems to be that we have to another Maria between us. “Flora is other people's to the emotion that she caused, but she pleases to us to say that she is now mother and papa”
PS: I ask myself, the other five dragoncitos these will be mesias?
YES THEY WILL ALL BE MALE, READ ABOVE AND USE THE GOOGLE TRANSLATION TOOL THE OTHER WAY!
