What could this guy be saying?
The psychic
A woman goes to the local psychic in hopes of contacting her dearly departed grandmother.
The psychic’s eyelids begin fluttering, her voice begins warbling, her hands float up above the table, and she begins moaning. Eventually, a coherent voice emanates, saying, “Granddaughter? Are you there?”
The customer, wide-eyed and on the edge of her seat, responds, “Grandmother? Is that you?”
“Yes granddaughter, it’s me.”
“It’s really, really you, Grandmother?” the woman repeats.
“Yes, it’s really me, granddaughter.”
The woman looks puzzled: “You’re sure it’s you, Grandmother?”
“Yes, granddaughter, I’m sure it’s me.”
The woman pauses a moment, “Grandmother, I have just one question for you.”
“Anything, my child.”
“When did you learn to speak English”?
Neon Museum tours
You can tour the Neon Museum located in Las Vegas Nevada. It is the boneyard for all the signs that adorned the casinos and hotels in Sin City. Artifacts date from the 1940’s to the present. Some have been refurbished and are working signs. Tours can be arranged on the museum website for a minimum donation of $15.
The Neon Museum was established as a non-profit organization in 1996 to collect and exhibit neon signs, the classic Las Vegas art form. Dedicated individuals from the private sector as well as corporate and government entities have worked tirelessly to promote the preservation of these national treasures. The Neon Museum’s mission is to collect, preserve, study and exhibit neon signs and associated artifacts to inspire educational and cultural enrichment for diverse members of our international community.
World’s tallest filing cabinet
But it doesn’t say how tall it is.
The world’s tallest filing cabinet is not located in some office, but in a field of weeds on the southwest edge of Burlington, in the state of Vermont in USA. It’s actually a stack of 38 filing cabinets welded together, one atop another. Most of the drawers are empty, but some of them contains auto parts made from shredding an MG Midget sports car, steamrolling the fragments, then cataloguing and storing each fragment with a label like an auto parts shop. Just plain crazy.
The upside down store
Shopping turned on its head” isn’t just a meaningless tagline for GAP. They literally mean it. To promote their new loyalty program, Sprize, the GAP in Vancouver, BC turned its entire store upside-down. All of the mannequins, displays and even the sign were flipped, as well as some cars and a hotdog stand outside of the store.
