Okay, so maybe this isn't quite as funny, but it makes me smile every time I drive (well, ride...) by it.
There's a place on University Ave (a main street) in Berkeley, called "The Way Christian Center," which I find amusing because the way it's laid out implies to me that these people are, like, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Christian, dude.
Or maybe it's just me.
There's 10 kind of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't

At 2:39 in the morning it's very funny. I have to come back during reg hours and judge then too.
Thanks for a good laugh

Hehe I think its funny too! Once I saw a huge sign as we drove pass a wall, it read MAN PARK. And lo! Behold, it was a cemetery.
Sorry, but I think its funny. Doesn't take much to get me laughing, I guess. I received a similar joke email a few weeks ago that had photographs attached. Wish I could find it (long deleted) so I could show you the photo of a sign in the Mid-Western U.S. that says:
Open Range. Someone had left an old oven below the sign with the door ajar.

Hi. I'm hoping someone has a spare five minutes (and a good internet connection) to help me please. Because I live off the grid in the Aussie bush and use a slow and unreliable satellite internet connection, I cannot get a youtube video to load and run to the end. All I get is the first 30 seconds,...

In terms of quality, I would like to achieve the 100 rating as a writer and keep my hubs above 90. I would really appreciate feedback on my writing style, skills, strengths, weaknesses, etc and suggestions for improving. I did just learn from another make-over that I should wait awhile...

So I published a Hub for kids and parents about the importance of History and trying to show how interesting the subject can be. Then some guy makes a comment on there about the Bible being the best source of historical knowledge from Genesis to Revelations. So, despite feeling it's not really a...
