Good morning crew,

So Batman: Arkham City has finally come out, but it doesn't look like I'll be running out to buy it this weekend. Based upon the huge quantities of time I spent playing the first Batman game I am going to need an uninterrupted block of at least 12 hours immediately after getting my hands on a copy, and I just don't have that kind of leisure anytime in the near future.

This weekend will be occupied with a Halloween party Saturday night, which means I have to cobble together a costume Saturday afternoon, unless the girlfriend has her way and forces me to buy a theme costume with her.

Then on Sunday old Mason and his wife are having their twins baptized, and Mason usually puts out a pretty good spread, so even if I don't make it to the ceremony (because something tells me Saturday night is going to be a late night), I suppose I should show up to the party afterward.

If anybody has already started playing Arkham City let me know if it is at least as good as Arkham Asylum, or better.

Laugh it up,

Joe

While hiking in the mountains one day I came across a gorgeous gorge that I thought was an echo canyon. I shouted, "Hello there." But the response sounded to me like, "Hello where?"

I tried again. "How do you do?"

A moment later the report came back sounding like, "How do I do what?"

Baffled and amused I decided to give it the ultimate test. "You're not really an echo canyon, are you?"

The response from the big ditch confirmed my suspicions. "Brilliant deduction, Einstein."

According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the Bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done.

She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses).

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required.

He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
