| 193993 | 2003-11-23 06:21:00 | A Farmer shopped around for a new car and became thoroughly disgusted with the pricing systems, what with all the talk about optional equipment and extras, but he settled on his purchase. A few days later the dealer who sold him the car arrived at the farm to buy a cow for his small property. The Farmer sized up the position and quickly scribbled the bill. Basic Cow $200 Two-tone exterior $145 Extra stomach $75 Product storage compartment $60 Dispensing device (4 spigot at $10 each) $40 Genuine Cow-hide upholstery $125 Automatic fly swatter $35 Dual horns $15 Total, exclusive of tax and delivery $695 |

A few days later the dealer who sold him the car arrived at the farm to buy a cow for his small property. The Farmer sized up the position and quickly scribbled the bill. Basic Cow $200 Fair enough! Two-tone exterior $145 Most cows have more than two tones inless they are Freesian which mostly seem to be Black and White. Jersey seem to come in multishades of brown and white.... Charge extra for a Jersey then. Extra stomach $75 Cows have just one stomach but four compartments. Charging for extra compartments is fine so Farmer should have added $75 x 3 Product storage compartment $60 Udder codswallop. :-) Dispensing device (4 spigot at $10 each) $40 Genuine Cow-hide upholstery $125 Automatic fly swatter $35 Ever noticed that quite a few cows have been de tailed and de horned Dual horns $15 You forgot four wheel drive as well which I'm sure is a feature. They can go where I wouldn't take my car. Total, exclusive of tax and delivery $695 Nice one though. I love it. |

| 193997 | 2003-11-23 07:00:00 | Could i suggest you take the cow back from whence it came,I feel I must remind you that the question was,how do you find the volume inside a fridge,I can;t see why the cow should pay the price for our tendency to go off topic. Some lesser mortals get upset at this propensity,but I mean to say,killing a flamin cow,what if we had used a elephant as an analogy! |

| 193998 | 2003-11-23 07:29:00 | Yes Thomas we must bring a bit of sanity back into this thread. Two valid methods for finding the volume of a Fridgidaire have been propounded, one using linear measurements, and one by filling the fridge with water. The problem with linear measurements is that it doesnt take account of the radii in the corners of the fridge of of trays, ledges, and other features. Thats why Archimoodees method is so clever. and by the way, for those that studied Classical Greek at school, as Im sure so many of you did, what he actually shouted as he ran naked and inspired through the streets of Athens chased by an irate cow was : "ìñåêá" |

| 194000 | 2003-11-23 07:51:00 | Old Terr never quite gets the story right . A team from India went shooting on location in Syracuse, in the picturesque island of Sicily . Among the team was Hindi actress Rekha . They were invited to the palace and King Heiron hosted a great banquet in their honour . After the banquet was over, and the guests had dispersed, came a great hue and cry that the King's new crown was missing . Soldiers were sent out with pikes and halberds, to find the daring thief who had stolen the King's crown . Sight-seeing and window-shopping, Rekha was strolling along, when suddenly a man, in a hurry, came running along . He thrust a parcel into Rekha's hands and disappeared . Behind him appeared a party of pikemen in hot pursuit . Not wishing to be caught with the goods, in confusion, Rekha ducked into the first open doorway . She opened the parcel and, lo and behold, it was the King's lost crown . Though it looked massive, it was, strangely, quite light . A close examination of the crown told her the reason: it was made of lightweight plastic and the gold was just a thin covering . No wonder the King was anxious to get it back . He was afraid of anybody finding out that he was reduced to wearing an imitation crown . She looked around . She was standing in a bath-house . She threw the fake crown into a filled bath and turned to go . But then, she heard her name called . It was Archimedes, a philosopher she had been introduced to at the banquet . He pointed an accusing finger at her . "You . . . Rekha! You stole the crown!" "But wait! I didn't, and anyway, this crown is a fake!" cried Rekha . But already, the philosopher had reached the door . In desperation, Rekha clutched at Archimedes, in an effort to hold him back . There was a r-r-rip and his bathrobe came away . And that is why, the history books say, the great philosopher Archimedes streaked through the street, shouting "Rekha" . To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many, research" |
