Found For Friday

In the Chemistry class the teacher was describing how August Kekulé, the scientist accidentally discovered a formula to express Benzene.

Kekulé once dozed off in his lab while trying to arrange the six carbon atoms in a particular format alongside six-hydrogen. The scientific community in the entire world had no answer either. Suddenly he had a dream and in his dream he saw two snakes eating each other and suddenly he woke up and tried to write out the formula that way and that was how we got the Benzene ring as we know it today, she said.

The teacher however felt bad finding a girl in the front bench dozing off all this while and pulled her up.

A boy from the rear said: Madam, please spare her; who knows she might come up with another formula for Benzene!

Part of rebuilding New Orleans caused residents often to be challenged

with the task of tracing home titles back potentially hundreds of years.

With a community rich with history stretching back over two centuries,

houses have been passed along through generations of family,

sometimes making it quite difficult to establish ownership. Here's a

great letter an attorney wrote to the FHA on behalf of a client:

You have to love this lawyer.......

A New Orleans lawyer sought an FHA loan for a client.

He was told the loan would be granted if he could prove satisfactory title

to a parcel of property being offered as collateral. The title to the property

dated back to 1803, which took the lawyer three months to track down.

After sending the information to the FHA, he received the following reply.

Actual reply from FHA:

"Upon review of your letter adjoining your client's

loan application, we note that the request is supported by an

Abstract of Title. While we compliment the able manner in which you

have prepared and presented the application, we must point

out that you have only cleared title to the proposed collateral

property back to 1803. Before final approval can be accorded,

it will be necessary to clear the title back to its origin."

Your letter regarding title in Case No.189156 has been received.

Most people, particularly those working in the property area, would

know that Louisiana as purchased by the United States from France

in 1803, the year of origin identified in our application. For the

edification of uninformed FHA bureaucrats, the title to the land prior

to U.S. ownership was obtained from France , which had acquired it

by Right of Conquest from Spain. The land came into the possession

of Spain by Right of Discovery made in the year 1492 by a sea captain

named Christopher Columbus, who had been granted the privilege of

seeking a new route to India by the Spanish monarch, Queen Isabella.

The good Queen Isabella, being a pious woman and almost as careful

about titles as the FHA, took the precaution of securing the blessing

of the Pope before she sold her jewels to finance Columbus 's expedition.

Now the Pope, as I'm sure you may know, is the emissary of

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and God, it is commonly accepted,

created this world. Therefore, I believe it is safe to presume that God

also made that part of the world called Louisiana . God, therefore,

would be the owner of origin and His origins date back to before the

beginning of time, the world as we know it, and the FHA. I hope you

find God's original claim to be satisfactory.

Now, may we have our damn loan?"

The loan was immediately approved .

This is all over the Internets. Funny if it weren't so true.
