JOKE: BLONDE SHOWS OFF TATTOO
JOKE: Dumb Nurse
Two doctors were in a hospital hallway one day complaining about Nurse Jenny. "She's incredibly dumb. She does everything absolutely backwards." said one doctor. "Just last week‚ I told her to give a patient 2 milligrams of Percocet every 10 hours. She gave him 10 milligrams every 2 hours. He nearly died on us!"
The second doctor said‚ "That's nothing. Earlier this week‚ I told her to give a patient an enema every 24 hours. She tried to give him 24 enemas in one hour! The guy nearly exploded!"
Suddenly‚ they hear this blood-curdling scream from down the hall. "Oh my God!" said the first doctor‚ "I just realized I told Nurse Jenny to prick Mr. Smith's boil!"
Terminally ill Texas professor gives last lecture via teleconference..45 years and he never misses a class
When Professor William Kielhorn found himself in the intensive care unit to deal with chemotherapy complications from treating his stage four colon cancer, he was quite put out. At 79, Kielhorn was just one class short of finishing 45 years of teaching without missing a single day. With his perfect attendance at risk, Kielhorn reminded his oncologist at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview, Texas: "I have class tomorrow at 3 o'clock." That's when his daughter, Martha Croft, and granddaughter, Courtney Bellamy, came up with a plan and started making arrangements for Kielhorn to give his last class via teleconference from the hospital.
"Either we were going to break him out or they were going to bring the Skype in," Croft said with a laugh. So on April 28, Kielhorn put on his glasses, took out his textbook and gave his last lecture through a laptop that was perched on the dining table of his hospital bed. "I felt the students had paid for the courses and the least I could do was show up and teach," Kielhorn said. Kielhorn gave the engineering lecture in his hospital gown with IVs still attached to his body while about 15 students watched from a classroom at nearby LeTourneau University.
Kielhorn had been teaching three classes a week until his hospitalisation, but the day of his last lecture he was so weak he could barely speak. But Bellamy, who was in the room for her grandfather's last class, said the moment he began talking to his students his voice transformed. "It was perfect, it was strong, it was just unbelievable really," she said. "I had not seen him talk like that in a long time." Janet Ragland, director of university relations, was in the classroom with the students as they watched Kielhorn's lecture on a projection screen.
"His love for his students is very obvious," she said. "They seemed to appreciate his dedication." Ragland added that to her knowledge Kielhorn was the only teacher in the school's history to go 45 years without missing a day. Later today, the university will hold a ceremony for a newly renovated lab that will be named in Kielhorn's honour. His family plans to attend. Kielhorn has been moved out of the intensive care unit, but is still hospitalised and struggling with health issues.
Drug trafficker with twelve fingers identified by his hands
An man accused of being a drug trafficker was detained by police after they confirmed his identity through a rare birth defect: six fingers on each hand.
Police in Brazil's southern state of Santa Catarina said his hands were the key to capturing the wanted man.
"We had indications that it was him, but because he presented his brother's papers as identification we had no proof," said police commissioner Enio de Oliveira Matos.
"Given this peculiarity, we requested information from the Institute of Identification in the state of Parana, where he was born, and with this feature, it was possible to confirm his identity." The detained man had been wanted for drug trafficking in the state of Mato Grosso.
