A UNC student's English prof paid a visit to his house one day. When the student opened the door, she asked "Are your father and mother in, Mr. Morton?"

The UNC English prof. gasped, "Why, Mr. Morton, it is 'They were in, they are out.' Where's your grammar?"
An Indian man went to see a doctor and complained, "Doctor, I can't sleep at night and I can't even nap during the day. In fact, the other 499 members of my tribe are also suffering from this malady.

Dear Howdy, Indeed I am a faithful Tarheel*, having both MA and Ph.D. from their fine chemistry department. But that doesn't keep me from getting a great kick out of the humor propogated by what appears to me to be a pack of wolves!!**
SERIOUSLY, THE HUMOR IS GREAT FUN BUT MY MAIN ATTRACTION WAS TO THE CONSERVATIVE MORAL AND POLITICAL STANCE THAT SEEMED TO CHARACTERIZE THE FIRST ISSUE I SAW. INCIDENTALLY (HE SAYS ACCIDENTALLY!), it was sent to me by a friend, so I really didn't "hear about you" at all, and still haven't. All I know is what has come in the two issues of the Newsletter I have seen. The best to you. S. P.
J.R.R. Tolkien published "The Hobbit," six years after he began writing it. Considered the father of modern fantasy literature, the South African-born British author described a region called "Middle- earth" full of mythological creatures that became the delight of children and adults.
OK, you're a Christian and you're saved. But is your salvation really free? Can you lose it? Can you keep sinning? Theo's got--well, some of the answers.
A radio telescope is a highly directional radio antenna that is able to create a map of the sky by recording signals coming from different directions. Although radio engineer Karl Jansky was the first to identify deep space radio signals in 1931, his antenna was not good at pinpointing individual sources.
The first steerable radio telescope was built in 1937 by Grote Reber, who had applied to work with Jansky but was turned down because of the poor economic times. So he decided to build his own radio telescope, a 31.4-foot metal dish (9.6 meters) mounted on a directional cradle in Wheaton, Illinois.
With his radio telescope, Reber was able to detect radio emissions from the Sun, the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, and several other "radio-bright" sources. By 1941, he had completed the first crude radio survey of the northern sky. Today his radio telescope is an historical monument in Green Bank, West Virginia. What an amazing Creator the universe has.
