This is what they think of us building tradesmen
An Australian electrician (Royalty of all Trades) dies in a car accident
on his 40th birthday and finds himself at the Pearly Gates. A brass
band is playing, the angels are singing a beautiful hymn, there is a
huge crowd cheering and shouting his name, and absolutely everyone wants
to shake his hand.Just when he thinks things can't possibly get any better, Saint
Peter himself runs over, apologizes for not greeting him personally at the
Pearly Gates, shakes his hand, and says, "Congratulations son, we've been waiting
a long time for you."
Totally confused and a little embarrassed, the electrician sheepishly looks at
Saint Peter and says "Saint Peter, I tried to lead a God-fearing
life, I loved my family, I tried to obey the 10 commandments, but
congratulations for what? I honestly don't remember doing anything really
special when I was alive. Is it because I'm an electrician - the Royalty of
all Trades??"
"Congratulations for what?" says Saint Peter, totally amazed at the man's modesty.
We're celebrating the fact that you lived to be 160 years old!
God himself wants to see you!" The electrician is awestruck and can only
look at
Saint Peter with his mouth wide open. When he regains his power of speech, he
looks up at Saint Peter and says "Saint Peter, I lived my life in
the eternal hope that when I died I would be judged by God and be found
to be worthy, but I only lived to be forty." "That's simply impossible son,"
says Saint Peter, "We've added up your time sheets."

HOW COLOURS GOT THEIR NAMES
Black
Black derives from words invariably meaning the colour black, as well as
dark, ink and "to burn."
Originally meaning, burning, blazing, glowing and shining, in PIE it was
*bhleg. This was changed to *blakkaz in Proto-Germanic, to blaken in Dutch and blaec, in Old English. This last word, blaec, also meant ink, as
did blak (Old Saxon) and black (Swedish).
The colour was called blach in Old High German and written blaec in Old
English. One final meaning, dark (also blaec in Old English) derived from the Old Norse blakkr.
White
White began its life in PIE as *kwintos and meant simply white or bright.
This had changed to *khwitz in Proto-Germanic, and later languages
transformed it into hvitr (Old Norse), hwit (Old Saxon) and wit (Dutch). By the time Old English developed, the word was kwit.
Red
In PIE, red was *reudh and meant red and ruddy. In Proto-Germanic, red was
*rauthaz, and in its derivative languages raudr (Old Norse), rod (Old Saxon) and r=D8d (Danish). In Old English, it was written read.
Green
Meaning grow in PIE, it was *ghre. Subsequent languages wrote it grene (Old
Frisian), graenn (Old Norse) and grown (Dutch). In Old English, it was grene and meant the colour green as well as young and immature.
Yellow
Thousands of years ago, yellow was considered to be closely related to
green, and in PIE it was *ghel and meant both yellow and green. In
Proto-Germanic, the word was *gelwaz. Subsequent incarnations of German had the word as gulr (Old Norse), gel (Middle High German) and gelo (Old
High
German). As late as Old English, yellow was written geolu and geolwe
Blue
Blue was also often confused with yellow back in the day. The PIE word was
*bhle-was and meant "light-coloured, blue, blond yellow" and had its root as bhel which meant to shine. In Proto-Germanic, the word was *blaewaz,
and in
Old English, it was blaw.
English also gets some of its words from French, and blue is one of them. In
Old French (one of the vulgar Latin dialects whose height was between the 9th and 13th centuries AD) blue was written bleu and blew and meant
a variety of things including the colour blue.
Brown
Derived from the Old Germanic for either or both a dark colour and a shining darkness (brunoz and bruna),brown is a recent addition to our
language. In
Old English it was brun or brune, and its earliest known writing was in
about 1000 AD.
Purple
This word also skipped the PIE and seems to have sprung up in the 9th
century AD, in Old English aspurpul. Burrowed from the Latin word purpura, purple originally meant alternately, "purple colour, purple-dyed
cloak, purple dye . . . a shellfish from which purple was made . . .
[and] splendid attire generally."
Orange
This colour's name derives from the Sanskrit word for the fruit naranga.
(Yes, the colour orange was named after the fruit, not the other way
around). This transformed into the Arabic and Persian naranj, and by the
time of Old French to pomme d'orenge. It was originally recorded in English as the name of the colour in 1512. Before then, the English speaking
world referred to the orange colour as geoluhread, which literally
translates to
"yellow-red."
Pink
One of the most recent colours to gain a name, pink was first recorded as describing the "pale rose colour" in 1733. In the 16th century, pink
was the common named to describe a plant whose petals had a variety of
colours (Dianthus), and it originally may have come from a Dutch word of
the same spelling that meant small.

Only in Tennessee
An opera singer is out of work, after a routine surgery left her unable to sing, without farting. Amy Herbst, 33, who has performed with the
Nashville
Opera Company, filed suit against Fort Campbell's Blanchfield Army Community
Hospital, in Tennessee, claiming that the episiotomy she received during
child birth, caused her to lose control of her flatulence.The surgery, which cuts the tissue between the anus and vagina to help the delivery of
the baby, did not heal properly, leaving the soprano with a complete
breakdown of the episiotomy and perineum and the external sphincter is
disrupted, and the vagina and rectum are basically connected without any perineal
body.
The complete breakdown has obvious ramifications for Herbst's job.
Herbst, and her husband, former Army Staff Sgt. James Herbst, are seeking $2.5 million in damages.

Open Road
Click here
A straight 200km stretch of the Stuart Highway, in the Northern Territory,
Australia, will become the site of a 12 month open speed limit trail, which begins today 1st February 2014.
While the Northern Territory once had open speed limits, they were scr*pped in 2007, and replaced with a 130km/h limit, in return for an increase
in commonwealth funding. However, from that time until 2012, more people
died on Northern Territory roads, than in the six years before the change.
The NT's Minister for Transport, Peter Styles, said the stretch of road,
south of Barrow Creek, to just north of Alice Springs, was recommended for the trial, as it had no identifiable road issues, and low crash
numbers.
"The stretch of highway has undergone a multi-million dollar upgrade, to
improve safety during the trial," Mr Styles said.
"In the thirteen years between 2001-2014, there weren't any speed related fatalities, on this stretch of road."
Mr Styles reminded motorists that this trial of revised speed limits, was not a licence to drive recklessly, dangerously, or without due care.
"Open speed limits mean driving to the road conditions - everyone should
drive within their own capabilities, the condition of the road, prevailing weather conditions, and the standard of their vehicle," he said.
"Learner and provisional drivers, and heavy vehicles, will continue to be speed limited as they are now."
