碰巧在网上看到犹太笑话离婚和在床底下翻出来鲁迅全集上读到社戏。

离婚这个笑话说的是犹太父亲不惜欺骗儿子女儿说自己要离婚让儿女自掏腰包买机票回家过年。而社戏这部分是关于一个纯朴的老人六一公公，小孩子们偷了他的蚕豆吃，他毫不计较，笔者说他的蚕豆好，他还很开心，说笔者有眼光，将来会有大出息。这个犹太父亲精于计算和六一公公纯朴的性格形成了鲜明的对比，我不禁感叹人的行为的多样性和不同民族文化的人的价值观和行为的多样性。在犹太人的价值观里，像这位父亲这样间接的操纵别人的行为的行为算不上什么不道德的行为，而六一公公自家田里的蚕豆被人偷吃，还乐呵呵的争论自己家的蚕豆比别人家好。不同的文化环境下成长出的人，真的会很不一样。　

－－－－－－－－－－－－
犹太笑话是这样的，一个犹太老头在迈阿密打电话给他在纽约的儿子说，说他打算离婚。“我受了45年的罪，受够了。“
“爸，你这是怎么说呢？“ 儿子着急了。

“我和你妈再也看不惯对方唠." 爸爸说. "我烦不了了,  不管了, 你等会给你芝加哥的姐姐打个电话奥." 说完, 就把电话挂了.

儿子慌了,给他姐姐打电话. 姐姐当场大怒说," 靠,这还了得, 看我回去把这件事摆平." 姐姐马上给爸爸打电话,"爸，你什么都不许动，什么都不许干，明天我就飞过来，在这之前，那边都别去，阿晓得拉！啊晓得拉！"　说完就挂了电话．　

爸爸挂了电话，和他老婆咪咪一笑说，"好，今年他们一起回家过年，自掏腰包买机票，嘿嘿。"

鲁迅社戏，节选

离平桥村还有一里模样，船行却慢了，摇船的都说很疲乏，因为太用力，而且许久没有
东西吃。这回想出来的是桂生，说是罗汉豆⑺正旺相，柴火又现成，我们可以偷一点来煮吃

    “阿阿，阿发，这边是你家的，这边是老六一家的，我们偷那一边的呢？”双喜先跳下
去了，在岸上说。

    我们也都跳上岸。阿发一面跳，一面说道，“且慢，让我来看一看罢，”他于是往来的
摸了一回，直起身来说道，“偷我们的罢，我们的大得多呢。”一声答应，大家便散开在阿

    我们中间几个年长的仍然慢慢的摇着船，几个到后舱去生火，年幼的和我都剥豆。不久
豆熟了，便任凭航船浮在水面上，都围起来用手撮着吃。吃完豆，又开船，一面洗器具，豆

    “都回来了！那里会错。我原说过写包票的！”双喜在船头上忽而大声的说。

    我向船头一望，前面已经是平桥。桥脚上站着一个人，却是我的母亲，双喜便是对伊说
着话。我走出前舱去，船也就进了平桥了，停了船，我们纷纷都上岸。母亲颇有些生气，说

    大家都说已经吃了点心，又渴睡，不如及早睡的好，各自回去了。

    第二天，我向午才起来，并没有听到什么关系八公公盐柴事件的纠葛，下午仍然去钓
虾。

    “双喜，你们这班小鬼，昨天偷了我的豆了罢？又不肯好好的摘，蹋坏了不少。”我抬
头看时，是六一公公棹着小船，卖了豆回来了，船肚里还有剩下的一堆豆。

    “是的。我们请客。我们当初还不要你的呢。你看，你把我的虾吓跑了！”双喜说。

    六一公公看见我，便停了楫，笑道，“请客？——这是应该的。”于是对我说，“迅哥
儿，昨天的戏可好么？”

    我点一点头，说道，“好。”

    “豆可中吃呢？”

    我又点一点头，说道，“很好。”

    不料六一公公竟非常感激起来，将大拇指一翘，得意的说道，“这真是大市镇里出来的
读过书的人才识货！我的豆种是粒粒挑选过的，乡下人不识好歹，还说我的豆比不上别人的

    待到母亲叫我回去吃晚饭的时候，桌上便有一大碗煮熟了的罗汉豆，就是六一公公送给
母亲和我吃的。听说他还对母亲极口夸奖我，说“小小年纪便有见识，将来一定要中状元。

    真的，一直到现在，我实在再没有吃到那夜似的好豆，——也不再看到那夜似的好戏
了。

小张的手机响了，林夕说她已经在楼下的停车场了。
小张咚咚咚跑下楼，一看，来了两辆车，三个人。 一个中年男人，坐在一辆小卡车里，一个年轻女子，大概大学生的样子站在车窗外，一个和她年纪相仿的男子和她并排站在一起。小张上前自我介绍，中间的女学生自我介绍是林夕，旁边开车的男人是她爸，另外的那个男人似乎有些尴尬，自我介绍是特别附属。
靠，就一辆破车，需要三个人吗？小张心理嘀咕。小张再仔细一看，这个做爸爸的还是有备而来，小卡车后面装了个大工具箱，里面的榔头，斧子都翘出来半截。 小张汲取了前两次看车的经验，闲话少说，简单介绍了阿黄车况好，轮胎新，牌子硬，自己马上回国必须卖车等等有利因素，随后呈上钥匙，微笑着欢迎试车。
他们三个一愣，林夕本来想拿那钥匙，但是先抬头看了看爸，然后转头看看特别附属，特别附属还是转头看“爸“，于是“爸“只好在这时候责无旁贷的接过了钥匙，承担起试车的重任。

In search of the replacement of the leaking firefox, I bumped into flock. Originally, I was planning to downgrade to firefox 1.0 but that version of firefox is hard to find on Internet. Then I found out flock (http://www.flock.com). Flock claims to be a social network web browser with integrated functionalities to help user to take the full usage of WEB 2.0 features of many popular social network websites, including facebook, flickr, etc. It indeed has those functions built in but I couldn’t care less about them. The reason I like and recommend flock to you is simple that it doesn’t leak memory. It works just like firefox 1.0, small, fast and tightly organized. Those social networking feature add-ons usually don’t bother you as long as you don’t touch them. I highly recommend flock as the replacement of firefox  until they fixed the holes in firefox.

For a couple of years, firefox had been my favorite web browser for 3 simple reasons. First of all, it is fast, when you start it, it doesn’t take a lot of time. Second, it is fast, when you open a page, it shows the page right way, doesn’t open pop up windows you do not desire. Third, it is fast, especially with the tab, you can switch between the pages quickly. However, the newly emerged memory leaking problem of firefox starts to bite me on a daily basis. For example, today, I was in an occasion that I cannot close the web browser because I was filling up an important form which is very long. The machine was slow, it needs half a second to response to the key stroke, I checked the memory usage, firefox was using 470 MB memory. The machine is just busy with the swap. This severe memory leaking problem is going to erode all the edges firefox have over IE. More interestingly, firefox doesn’t have this problem before version 1.5 or so, I am wondering what happened?

Paycheck is an interesting movie, which I only watched the latter half of it today on TBS channel. This movie was directed by the famous Chinese director John Wu. He had directed many well known action movies. This movie is actually a mixture of Sci-Fi, Thriller and Action. I guess the true story starts as a Scientist built a machine to predict the future. As the first user of it, he used it to forsee the future of the human society is going to be destroyed by nuclear bomb. However, he got his memory erased. When he wake up, he only has an envelop of random items. Using these stuff, he tried to survive from people who were chasing him and recover his lost memory. Not surprisingly , he destroyed the machine and the evil guys before the end of the movie. Eventually, he lived happily thereafter with his women using the money from a 90 million jackpot. The number was predicted using his machine before he lost his memory.

The memory loss / reconstruction story is similar to another movie Bourne Identity made at similar time. I like the action and thriller element of the movie, however I cannot appreciate the Sci-Fi part of it. Almost all of the Sci-Fi movie for the future are negative about scientific advancement. They think nuclear bomb is going to destroyed the earth, stem cell research is going to lead to ill ethics problem. Actually, most of the changes brought by scientific research are positive for human society, nuclear energy may eventually solve the global energy crisis, stem cell research may eventually be able to cure many diseases. These positive aspects of science rarely are reflected in these Sci-Fi novels.

Gigapan hosts an amazing photo sharing service. The technology originates from NASA’s Mars exploration efforts. They developed this photography technique to provide detailed photo browsing experience for the broader range of audience. When the mission is completed, they extended this effort to enable average users to upload photos and share the panorama views of the scenes with people around the world. I think this technology is revolutionary because it replicates the depth changing experience of viewing actual objects. This is the future of digital camera, I am excited about it. Again, the viewer is developed using AJAX technique.

1. 癌症
2. 肺结核
3. 肝炎
4. 肾炎
5. 关节炎
6. 早老性痴呆
7. 任何残疾

这些已经可以让我感觉我的人生是多么的幸运了。
