There are 101 ways to convince your boss to buy you a new computer. Here is one of them.
Dark in here
A housewife calls her lover home during the day, while her husband is at work. Unknown to her, her 9 year old son was hiding in the closet.
Her husband came home unexpectedly, so she hid her lover in the closet. The boy now has company.
Boy: Dark in here..
Man: Yes it is.
Boy: I have a baseball.
Man: That's nice.
Boy: Want to buy it?
Man: No, thanks.
Boy: My dad's outside.
Man: OK, how much?
Boy: $250.
In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the mom's lover are in the closet together.
Boy: Dark in here.
Man: Yes, it is.
Boy: I have a baseball glove.
Man: How much?
Boy: $750.
Man: Fine.
A few days later, the father says to the boy, "Grab your glove. Let's go outside and toss the baseball."
The boy says, "I can't. I sold them."
The father asks, "How much did you sell them for?"
The son says, "$1,000."
The father says, "That's terrible to overcharge your friends like that, that is way more than those two things cost. I'm going to take you to church and make you confess."
They go to church and the father alerts the priest, and makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and closes
the door.
The boy says, "Dark in here." the priest says, "Don't start that shit again."

Interview with James Cameron

Cameron and Jacobovici said statisticians who have looked at markings on the bone boxes estimate that the probability that the remains uncovered in 1980 are not those of Joseph, Mary, Jesus, Mary Magdalene, a son of Jesus and other relatives are more than 100 to 1. The implications are astounding given that billions of people have been taught that Jesus was resurrected both in spirit and body, ascended to heaven, never married and had no offspring. The film and book, if accepted, could shake the church, that Jesus founded, to its core.
According to Cameron and Jacobovici, the bones discovered in the limestone boxes in 1980 were quickly reburied, following the Jewish traditions. Archaeologists quickly discounted the theory that the boxes contained the bones of Jesus and his family because the names inscribed on the boxes were quite common in the region during the 1st Century.
Jacobovici said that the archaeologists who were so quick to dismiss the find never asked statisticians for an opinion about the likelihood that boxes inscribed with names like Joseph, Mary and Jesus would all be found in the same place and be dated back to the time that Jesus lived and taught.
“They are common names, these were archaeologists. They never went to statisticians,” Jacobovici said. “We're just reporting the news. We're not statisticians. We're not theologians .... Now the debate is going to begin because statisticians say it is significant. DNA experts say it is significant.”

(Video) The Lost Tomb Of Jesus Christ - 1
Oscar-winning director James Cameron's controversial new documentary, which claims that Jesus may not have only been buried with a wife, but a son as well, adds an intriguing new piece but certainly doesn't solve the 2,000-year-old puzzle of the life and death of Christ.
“I'm not an archaeologist. I'm a filmmaker,” said Cameron, who won the Academy Award for Best Director in 1998 for Titanic. “I looked at the evidence initially, and as a layman I found it to be compelling .... I haven't seen anything that contradicts the initial hypothesis.”
“The Lost Tomb of Jesus,” which premieres March 4 on the Discovery Channel, USA, chronicles recent efforts to apply modern science and new understanding of Jesus and his followers to the 1980 discovery of a set of ossuaries, or “bone boxes,” under what is now an apartment complex near Jerusalem.
The well-known holy relic called The Talpiot Tomb is in fact the crypt that once held the bones of Jesus Christ. Scientific evidence, including DNA analysis conducted at one of the world's foremost molecular genetics laboratories, as well as studies by leading scholars, suggests a 2,000-year-old Jerusalem tomb could have once held the remains of Jesus of Nazareth and his family. The findings also suggest that Jesus and Mary Magdalene might have produced a son named Judah." This could be "the greatest archaeological find in history," since it could satisfy many that there's no God.
Cameron and investigative journalist Simcha Jacobovici, who wrote a companion book, “The Jesus Family Tomb,” are defending their work against criticism that they are riding the coat tails of Dan Brown's “The Da Vinci Code” and are trying to profit from promoting theories discredited by archaeologists when the limestone boxes were discovered 27 years ago.

Sony's Latest Cyber-Shot Digital Cameras
Sony has launched five new Cyber-shot cameras; the Cyber-shot W-series cameras, including DSC-W200, DSC-W90, and DSC-W80 and the new 8-megapixel Cyber-shot H-series which includes DSC-H9 and DSC-H7.
W-series
The DSC-W200 is the most compact 12-megapixel camera in the industry, followed by the 8-megapixel DSC-W90, and the 7.2-megapixel DSC-W80 which have Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lenses; traditional, eye-level viewfinders; and large, 2.5-inch LCD screens.

These W-series cameras are compatible with the Sony VMC-MHC1 HD component cable for simple connection to an HDTV set. They can also be used with the new Sony CSS-HD1 HD Cyber-shot Station, which comes with the component cable. The cameras can be connected to the station just one time, which also charges the cameras.
These cameras incorporate Sony's new face detection technology, Clear RAW noise reduction technology, the new multi-point auto-focus (AF), and Super Steady Shot for optical image stabilization.

The new W-series models feature a built-in slide show function for image playback with pans, fades, and wipe transitions set to your choice of music clips. They also incorporate selectable in-camera editing functions, and are equipped with Dynamic Range Optimizer for instantly determining the best exposure and tonality of each picture.
All of the new cameras are powered by the Bionz processing engine that helps speed up the cameras' response time and extends battery life. The W90 camera can shoot up to 350 shots, the W80 model up to 340 shots, and the W200 unit up to 270 shots, respectively, on a full charge.
H-series
The DSC-H9 and DSC-H7 are able to quick focus by predicting where the subjects would be in the frame, which helps to reduce the time of focus and shoot.
Both cameras, debuting advanced sports shooting mode, feature powerful Carl Zeiss 15x optical zoom lenses for up-close shots of big plays on the field. With the face detection technology, they can identify up to eight faces in the camera's LCD frame.

The H9 and H7 can shoot up to 1/4000 of a second, a critical speed for capturing fast-moving sports and freezing the action. The two cameras incorporate similar technologies that are there in the new W-series models such as HD outputs, Bionz processing engine, Super Steady Shot, Clear RAW noise reduction technology, Dynamic Range Optimizer, and offer selectable in-camera editing functions.
The H9 sports a 3-inch, flip-up LCD screen, while the H7 has a non-articulating, 2.5-inch LCD screen. The H9 camera is the only Cyber-shot model in this year's line to feature NightShot technology, which allows users to take photographs in environments with virtually no light.
