A woman went to a pet shop and immediately spotted a large, beautiful parrot. There was a sign on the cage that said $25.00.
"Why so little ?" she asked the pet store owner.
The owner looked at her and said, "Look, I should tell you first that this bird used to live in a house of prostitution, and sometimes it says some pretty vulgar stuff."
The woman thought about this, but decided she had to have the bird anyway. She took it home and hung the bird's cage up in her living room and waited for it to say something.
The bird looked around the room, then at her, and said, "New house, new madam."
The woman was a bit shocked at the implication, but then thought "that's really not so bad."
When her two teenage daughters returned from school, the bird saw them and said, "New house, new madam, new girls."
The girls and the woman were a bit offended but then began to laugh about the situation considering how and where the parrot had been raised.
Moments later, the woman's husband Keith came home from work.
The bird looked at him and said, "Hi, Keith."

A truly amazing video showing the unique mechanical properties of the Prince Rupert's drop – a tadpole-shaped glass structure created by dropping molten glass in cold water.
The very high residual stress within the bulbous end of the drop allows it to withstand a blow from a hammer. However, a slight touch on the drop’s tail will cause the whole structure to explode. It seems to happen all at once, but a 130,000 frames per second camera reveals exactly how the Prince Rupert drop explodes. Turns out that the fracture runs down the tail at over a mile per second, over 25 times the speed of sound in air.

"It'll be a great birthday present for my wife," PMPD Sgt Bob Bangman said,
"and if it turns out to be a bomb after all.... well, what I'm saying is it's a win-win."
