Fwd: Something you might not know!

True or False, I am sure one of my buddies who has more time to check it out will confirm it's authenticity, in

any case makes for a reasonable explanation of where the SHIT really began ..... meanwhile I am going to blithely

send this on !!!!!

One wonders if this is true.  Guess it could be bonifide.

THIS IS THE TRUTH

The supreme court just passed a "Federal Law" of Eminent Domain. They the government can now take your property, paying you a fair amount, the reason is that the property will be used for the betterment of the community

This should ruin your evening as it did mine

The only out is you can complain tot he state ( a lot of good that will do you)

Fwd: Bill Gates after death!!

Bill Gates passes away and goes up to heaven where he is met by God.

"Well, Bill," said God, "I'm really confused on this one. I'm not
sure
whether to send you to Heaven or Hell. After all, you enormously helped
society by putting a computer in almost every home in the world, and yet
you created that ghastly Windows.

"I'm going to do something I've never done before. I'm going to let you
decide where you want to go."

Bill replied, "Well thanks, God. What's the difference between the
two?"

God said, "You take a peek at both places briefly if it will help you
decide. Shall we look at Hell first?"

"Sure" said Bill, "Let's go!"

Bill was amazed! He saw a clean, white sandy beach with clear waters. There
were thousands of beautiful men and women running around, playing in the
water, laughing and frolicking about. The sun was shining and the
temperature was perfect.

"This is great!" said Bill. "If this is Hell, I can't wait to see
heaven."

God replied, "Let's go!" and so off they went to Heaven. Bill saw
puffy
white clouds in a beautiful blue sky with angels drifting about playing
harps and singing.

It was nice, but surely not as enticing as Hell.

Bill Gates thought for only a brief moment and rendered his decision.
"God, I do believe I would like to go to Hell."

"As you desire," said God.

Two weeks later, God decided to check up on the late billionaire to see how
things were going. He found Bill Gates shackled to a wall, screaming
amongst the hot flames in a dark cave. He was being burned and tortured by
demons.

"How ya doin', Bill?" asked God.

Bill responded with anguish and despair, "This is awful! This is not what I

expected at all! What happened to the beach and the beautiful women playing
in the water?"

"Oh THAT?!" said God.

"That was the Screen Saver."
