Sweden Church Unveiled 6Foot Lego Statue of Jesus
A Protestant church in Vasteras, Sweden, unveiled a 6-foot tall, 30,000 piece LEGO Jesus to celebrate Easter on Sunday. It took the 40 volunteers about 18 months to put all the tiny plastic blocks together, and their creation shows a standing Jesus facing forward with his arms outstretched. Church spokesman Per Wilder said the statue at the Onsta Gryta church in the central Swedish city of Vasteras is a copy of Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen’s “Christus” statue on display in Copenhagen.Guitar Hanger

Murdered Cupcakes
Murdered cupcakes.These deadly cupcakes were created by Craftster user Lethargic. The cake was red velvet with butter cream frosting tinted to look like a skin tone. The knives were made out of melted and colored white chocolate. “I just piped onto some parchment paper in a knife-like shape and stuck in the fridge to harden. Once they were nice and solid I stabbed them into the flesh cakes and added a little of that horrible food decorators gel stuff to look like blood."

Dispose of in the garbage.

Loving Husband
A man had two of the best tickets for the Super 14 Final. As he sits down, another man comes along and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him.
“No”, he says, “the seat is empty.”
“This is incredible!” said the man, “who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Super 14 Final, the biggest sporting event of the year, and not use it?”
He says, “Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. My wife was supposed to come with me, but she passed away. This is the first Cup Final we haven’t been to together since we got married.”
“Oh… I’m sorry to hear that. That’s terrible. I guess you couldn’t find someone else, a friend or relative or even a neighbour to take the seat?”The man shakes his head.... “No. They’re all at the funeral.”
Don't Trust People--No Matter How Nice They Seem
One afternoon a wealthy lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass.
Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and got out to investigate. He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?"
"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass."
"Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the lawyer said.
"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree."
"Bring them along," the lawyer replied.
Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You come with us also."
The second man, in a pitiful voice then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!"
"Bring them all, as well," the lawyer answered.
They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine. Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."
The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place; the grass is almost a foot high!"

10 Amusing Facts about Google
Here are some amusing facts about Google.
1. Google got its name by accident. The founders misspelled the word "googol," which refers to the number 1 followed by 100 zeroes. The word was chosen to reflect the company’s goal of organizing the massive amound of information that is available on the Internet.
2. The Google home page is so sparse because the founders did not know HTML and just wanted to create a quick interface.
3. At first, there was not even a "submit" button. Users had to hit the "return" key to generate a Google search.
4. Google’s search technology is called PageRank (tm). It assigns an "importance" value to each page on the Web and gives it a rank. But that is not why the technnology is called PageRank. In fact, it is named after Google co-founder Larry page.
5. Google’s traffic doubled when they introduced their "Did you mean…" feature. This feature was made possible by a much-improved spell checker.
6. Google users apparently never feel "lucky," since the "I feel lucky" is almost never used. However, in trials it was discovered that users saw it as a comfort button and did not want it removed.
7. Brin and Page would hang out at the Stanford computer science department’s loading docks in hopes of borrowing newly-arrived PCs to use in their network.
8. Google’s first data center was Larry Page’s dorm room.
9. When Page and Brin tried to find buyers to license their search technology, one portal CEO told them "As long as we’re 80 percent as good as our competitors, that’s good enough. Our users don’t really care about search."
10. The first major investor Andy Bechtolsheim on of the founders of Sun Microsystems wrote a check for $100,00 after seeing a quick demo. At first, there was no way to deposit the $100,000 check. It was made out to "Google Inc.," but there was no legal entity with that name. The check sat in Page’s desk drawer for two weeks while he and Brin rushed to set up a corporation and locate other investors.

Golfing the Logical Way
I didn’t think it’d be appropriate to laugh, but I did anyway
A recent study found the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found golfers drink, on an average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
That means, on an average, golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Kind of makes you proud. Almost feel like a hybrid.
