Star Wars and how the Jedi die?
So here I am watching these Star Wars movies, and I notice that when Obiwan Kenobe dies, his body evaporates, leaving only his robes. And in another movie, I notice that when Yoda dies, his body evaporates, leaving only his robes. But when Darth Vader dies, Luke has to bring his body back to burn it on a funeral pyre. Now, I would have thought maybe because Darth wasn't a Jedi, but in later movies, he was. And even at the end, his spirit is re-united with the spirits of Yoda and Obiwan. So, is there some kind of special skill needed to die just right, in order to evaporate? Who'd have though the Force was so picky about HOW you die?
3 AnswersMovies9 years agoIndiana Jones & the Last Crusade?
So it was on TV the other night and I watched it. Here's what I don't get. At the end of the movie, the Holy Grail cannot pass beyond the Great Seal. Destruction and loss of the Grail was the result of trying. So why was it necessary for some knight to guard it for all those centuries? And why was there an entire cult of members dedicated to fighting and killing to protect it?
5 AnswersMovies9 years agoWhat's the name of this Canadian (I think) movie?
Nearly 30 years ago, I was in Calgary, Alberta and watching a movie on TV. It was some private eye movie, and I only tuned in near the end. The PI was shooting it out with some bad guys, and of course, when one of them got hit by a bullet, it bled where they were hit. And then a bullet hit the car, and IT bled. It got so that bullets hitting the building, and even the ground, would bleed where they struck. Definitely weird and I'd like to see the entire movie.

5 AnswersJokes & Riddles1 decade agoA nice afternoon ride?
So it's a warm, slow day on the ranch, and the rancher tells his wife that he's taking her on a horse & buggy ride through the countryside. Before long, they come to some railroad tracks and the horse stops. Nothing will get the horse moving, so the rancher gets out of the buggy, takes the horse's bridle and leads him across the tracks. Pointing his finger in the horse's face, the rancher says, "That's once!" And he gets back in the buggy, and they're rolling along again.
Pretty soon, they come to a highway and the horse stops, won't move. Nothing the rancher does will get the horse to go, so again he gets out of the buggy and takes the horse by the bridle to lead him across the highway. He points his finger in the horse's face and says, "That's twice!" Then he gets back in the buggy and they're going again.
After awhile, they come to a bridge and the horse stops. The rancher can't get the horse to go. So he gets out of the buggy, points his finger in the horse's face and says, "That's three times!" Then he pulls out his revolver and shoots the horse dead.
As the horse collapses to the ground, the rancher's wife starts screaming at him. "What did you just do? You just shot our horse! I can't believe you did that! How are we supposed to get home? What kind of maniac are you? I can't believe you shot our horse...!"
And the rancher points his finger at her and says, "That's once...!"

Once upon a time there was a female brain cell which, by mistake, happened to end up in a man's head. She looked around nervously, but it was all empty and quiet. "Hello?" she cried, but no answer. "Is there anyone here?" she cried a little louder, but still no answer.
Now the female brain cell started to feel alone and scared and yelled at the top of her voice "HELLO, IS THERE ANYONE HERE?"
Then she heard a very faint voice from far, far away...
"We're down here..."
2 AnswersJokes & Riddles1 decade agoOld sci-fi movie from back in the late 1950's?
Or maybe even the very early 1960's. But the plot takes place in London at some archeological excavation discovered in the city. Then it turns out that the exposure of the artifacts causes some revival of demons or aliens that terrorize the city. I thought it was called something like "20 Million Years To Earth" but all I could find was a different one called "20 Million MILES To Earth", about a creature brought back on a space mission to Venus. I'm looking for the one about the excavation.
3 AnswersMovies1 decade agoThe Book of Genesis (as told by Hillary Clinton)?
When God, in Her infinite wisdom, created Woman, she made her with three breasts. It didn't take long for Eve to complain. "God," she beseeched, "you just have to do something. Not only is this uncomfortable, but it looks silly."
So God put Eve into a deep sleep and removed one of the breasts. When Eve awoke, she admired God's work and said, "Ahh, that is SO much better." Then, holding the third breast in her hand, Eve asked, "But what do we do with this useless boob?"
And thus, Man was created.
3 AnswersJokes & Riddles1 decade agoThe (redneck) Night After Christmas?
'Twas the night after Christmas
and all through the trailer,
the beer had gone flat
and the pizza was staler.
The tube socks hung empty,
no candies or toys,
and I was camped out
on my old Lay-Z-Boy.
The kids they weren't talking
to me or my wife,
the worst Christmas, they said,
that they'd had in their life.
My wife couldn't argue
and neither could I,
so I watched TV
and my wife, well, she just cried.
When out in the yard
the dog started barkin',
I stood up and looked
and I saw ol' Sheriff Larkin.
He yelled, "Roy, I am sworn
to uphold the laws,
and I got a complaint here
from a feller named Claus."
I said, "Claus, I don't know
nobody named Claus,
and you ain't taking me in
without probable cause."
Then the Sheriff, he said,
"The man was shot at last night."
I said, "That might have been me,
just what's he look like?"
The Sheriff replied,
"Well he's a jolly old feller,
with a big beer gut belly,
that shakes when he laughs like a bowl full of jelly.
"He sports a long beard,
and a nose like a cherry."
I said, "Sheriff, that sounds like
my wife's sister, Sherri."
"It's no time for jokes, Roy,"
the Sheriff, he said.
"The man I'm describing
is dressed all in red.
"I'm here for the truth now,
it's time to come clean.
Tell me what you've done,
tell me what you have seen."
Well, I started to lie
then I thought what the hell --
it wouldn't be the first time
I've spent New Years in jail.
I said, "Sheriff, it happened
last night about ten,
and I thought that my wife
had been drinking again."
"When she walked in from work
she was as white as a ghost.
I thought maybe she had seen
one of them UFO's.
"But she said that a bunch of deer
had just flown over her head,
and stopped on the roof
of our good neighbour, Red.
"Well, I ran outside to look
and the sight made me shudder,
a freezer full of venison
standing right on Red's gutter.
"Well, my hands were a shakin'
as I grabbed me my gun,
when outta Red's chimney
this feller did run.
"And slung on his back
was this bag over flowin'.
I thought he stolen Red's stuff
while he was out bowling'.
"I yelled, 'Drop it, fat boy,
put yer hands in the air!'
But he went about his business
like he hadn't a care.
"So I popped a warning shot
right over his head.
But he dropped that bag
and he jumped in that sled.
"And as he flew off
I heard him exhort,
'That's assault with intent, Roy,
I'll see ya in court!'"
7 AnswersJokes & Riddles1 decade agoWhere are the Christmas stories?
'Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house
The whole damn family
was drunk as a louse
Grandma and Grandpa
were singing a song
And the kid was in bed
flogging his dong
Ma, home from the cathouse,
and me out of jail
Had just crawled into bed
for a nice piece of tail
When out on the lawn,
there arose such a clatter
I jumped out of bed
to see what was the matter
Away to the window
I flew like a flash
Threw open the shutters
and fell on my àss
The moon on the crest
of the new fallen snow
Gave a whorehouse-like luster
to the objects below
When what to my bloodshot
eyes should appear
But a rusty old sleigh and
two mangy reindeer
With a little old driver
just pounding his dick
I knew in a moment,
it must be Saint Nick
Slower than snails
his reindeer they came
He bítched and he swore
as he called them by name
Now Dancer, now Prancer,
up over the walls
Quick now, damn it,
or I'll cut off your balls.
Then up to the roof
he stumbled and fell
And came down the chimney
like a bat out of hell
He staggered and stomped
and went to the door
Tripped on his peter,
and fell on the floor
I heard him exclaim,
as he rode out of sight:
Píss on you all,
it's a hell of a night.

2 AnswersJokes & Riddles1 decade agoWhat was this teen movie in the 90's?
I saw a movie on VHS around 1995. The plot wasn't memorable and I don't care about that. But one scene, there was this high school dance and a kid asked the hot chick for a dance. Being snooty, she not only turned him down, but hard! So he loudly responded, "Then I guess a blowjób is really out of the question."
Funny enough, but even better was another hot chick who heard him and nodded her head to dance with her. I've scanned a lot of teen movies like Zapped, Zapped 2, My Science Project, Weird Science, etc, but none have contained that scene. Any help?

4 AnswersJokes & Riddles1 decade agoWomen are just downright EVIL?
Last night I'm at the bar and and this cute lady talks me into trying her drink. It consists of a salt shaker, a shot of Baileys, and a shot of lime juice.
First, she tells me, put a bit of the salt on my tongue. Okay. Salty, but no problem.
Next, drink the shot of Baileys and hold it in your mouth. Smooth, rich, cool, very pleasant. Not bad at all.
Finally, slam the lime juice.
All of a sudden, the sharp lime hits!
A second later, the Baileys curdles.
Then, the salty, curdled taste and mucous-like consistency hits.
Now, it feels like I had a mouth full of nasty snot.
It triggers my gag reflex, but being manly, and not wanting to make a disgusting scene, I swallow the now foul tasting drink.
Choking it down, I couldn't help saying, "Holy shít, what do you call that?"
She smiles angelically says, "Blöw Jöb Revenge."
Gawd! I'm STILL throwing up!
5 AnswersJokes & Riddles1 decade agoThe imagination of children?
A fire fighter is working on the engine outside the station when he notices a little girl next door in a little red wagon with little ladders hung off the side and a garden hose tightly coiled in the middle. The girl is wearing a fire fighter's helmet and has the wagon tied to a dog and a cat. The fire fighter walks over to take a closer look.
"That sure is a nice firetruck," the fire fighter says with admiration.
"Thanks," the girl says. The fire fighter looks a little closer and notices the girl has tied the wagon to the dog's collar and to the cat's testicles.
"Little Pardner," the fire fighter says, "I don't want to tell you how to run your firetruck, but if you were to tie that rope around the cat's collar, I think you could go faster."
The little girl replied, "You're probably right, but then I wouldn't have a siren."
