Sunshine on My Shoulders
John Denver

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a day that I could give you
I'd give to you a day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a tale that I could tell you
I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
Sunshine almost all the time makes me high
Sunshine almost always

Our sun has an expected lifetime of about 11 billion years.

Our sun and the surrounding planets orbit around the center of the Milky Way galaxy once every 250 million years.

On its trip around the sun, the earth travels over a million and a half miles per day.

No solar eclipse can last longer than 7 minutes 58 seconds because of the speed at which the sun moves.

In Devon, Connecticut, it is unlawful to walk backwards after sunset.

If the sun stopped shining suddenly, it would take eight minutes for people on earth to be aware of the fact.

Because of the speed at which the sun moves, it is impossible for a solar eclipse to last more than 7 minutes and 58 seconds.

Aztecs believed that the sun died every night and needed human blood to give it strength to rise the next day. So they sacrificed 15,000 men a year to appease their sun god, Huitzilopochtli. Most of the victims were prisoners taken in wars, which were sometimes started solely to round up sacrificial victims.

Walkin' 'Round in Women's Underwear
Bob Rivers


Lacy things, the wife is missin'
Didn't ask, her permission
I'm wearin' her clothes
Her silk pantyhose
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear

In the store, there's a teddy
Little straps, like spaghetti
It holds me so tight
Like handcuffs at night
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear

In the office there's a guy named Melvin,
He pretends that I am Murphy Brown
He'll say, "Are you ready?" I'll say, "Whoa Man!"
"Let's wait until our wives are out of town!"

Later on, if you wanna
We can dress, like Madonna
Put on some eyeshade
And join the parade
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear

Lacy things- missin'
Didn't ask- permission
Wearin' her clothes
Silk pantyhose
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear

Folsom Prison Blues
Johnny Cash

I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine,
Since, I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
And time keeps draggin' on,
But that train keeps a-rollin',
On down to San Antone.

When I was just a baby,
My Mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns,"
But I shot a man in Reno,
Just to watch him die,
When I hear that whistle blowin',
I hang my head and cry.

I bet there's rich folks eatin',
In a fancy dining car,
They're probably drinkin' coffee,
And smokin' big cigars,
But I know I had it comin',
I know I can't be free,
But those people keep a-movin',
And that's what tortures me.

Well, if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move out over a little,
Farther down the line,
Far from Folsom Prison,
That's where I want to stay,
And I'd let that lonesome whistle,
Blow my Blues away.

The Abu Ghraib prison is in Abu Ghraib, an Iraqi city 32 km (20 mi) west of Baghdad. It became internationally known as a place where Saddam Hussein's government tortured and executed dissidents, and later as the site of Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandal where the United States military's torture of Iraqi detainees was revealed in a series of photographs published in worldwide news media.Under Saddam's Ba'ath government, it was known as Abu Ghraib Prison and had a reputation as a place of torture and some of the worst cases of torture in the modern world. It was sometimes referred to in the Western media as "Saddam's Torture Central". The prison was renamed after United States forces expelled the former Iraqi government, which had called it the Baghdad Central Confinement Facility (BCCF) or Baghdad Central Correctional Facility. In May of 2004, Camp Avalanche, a tent camp on the grounds of Abu Ghraib for security detainees, changed its name to Camp Redemption at the request of a governing council member.The prison complex was built by American contractors in the 1960s, and covered 280 acres (1.15 km²) with a total of 24 guard towers. The size of a small town, the area was divided into five separate walled compounds for different types of prisoners. Each block contained a dining room, prayer room, exercise area and rudimentary washing facilities. Cells contained up to 40 people in a space four metres by four. By the fall of the government in 2003 the five compounds were designated for foreign prisoners, long sentences, short sentences, capital crimes and "special" crimes.

How to Rebuild a Carburetor

Things You’ll Need:
Carburetor kit
Safety mask
Safety glasses
Carburetor cleaner
Toothbrush

Step1
Purchase a carburetor rebuild kit from the
dealer. These kits will usually have all the parts
you'll need to rebuild a carburetor, including all
of the rubber parts and gaskets.

Step2
Prepare your place to work on rebuilding your
carburetor. This type of work produces a lot of
fumes. You'll want to make sure you have a place
with proper ventilation. A safety/vapor mask will
help prevent inhalation of fumes. Safety glasses
will keep dirt, grease and debris from flying in
your eyes as you clean carburetor parts with a
brush. Your work area needs to be clean and needs
good lighting. You'll be working with lots of
screws and tiny pieces.

Step3
Look carefully at the diagram that comes with
your carburetor kit. The kits will differ depending
on what kind of carburetor you are rebuilding.
Vehicle carburetors are more complex than a lawn
mower, of course. Get familiar with the parts your
kit contains. Your diagram will be helpful when
putting it all back together.

Step4
Start by disconnecting the accelerator pump.
Remove the cover. The choke linkages along with the
choke itself will need to be removed. Be especially
careful to note how the choke linkages fit together.
If you write down on paper telling yourself exactly
where each part goes as you proceed, it will make it
much easier when you put it all back together. Each
hose and screw will need to be replaced, so take
note where each one connects. Again, different
carburetor kits will vary in the exact numbers of
parts that they have.

Step5
Use your brush and can of carburetor spray
cleaner to clean each part. Some people use a wire
brush, but stiff wire can damage delicate parts if
you rub too hard. Toothbrushes work well for this
type of cleaning.

Step6
Finish by using your kit diagram and the notes
you took while taking the carburetor apart to put
it all back together. Make sure you tighten each
screw carefully. Don't tighten too much or you will
strip the threads. Check each part off your list as
you rebuild your carburetor. Retracing your steps
using the list you wrote will prevent you from
forgetting a connection.
