Taking health and safety issues seriously November 05, 2011 A certain amount of sardonic hilarity has been caused by recent revelations that the Health and Safety Executive, the national watchdog otherwise known as the HSE, dealt with 53 related incidents reported by its staff in 2010. Some of the accidents were typical of those that might be expected in any workplace from time to time, such as slips on wet surfaces and trips over equipment.

3. Portal 2, The most fun you'll ever have taking tests July 01, 2011 The most fun you’ll ever have taking tests. The original Portal came at most gamers from nowhere. It was based on a student game called Narbacular Drop which used portals to solve puzzles. Valve first released Portal as part of The Orange Box in 2007. It was a fun, quirky, and hilarious little puzzle game with only 19 test rooms followed by a climactic escape and battle with GLaDOS, the facility’s sardonic, HAL 9000-like AI computer.

Awesome Quotes and Funny Quotes April 23, 2011 Nevertheless, this list of famous awesome quotes can be a timeless selection, which spans a broad range of humor, from men and girls of varying backgrounds."I am so clever that from time to time I do not fully grasp a single word of what I am saying." - Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900). Irish playwright, author and renowned wit, Oscar Wilde's sardonic brand of humour is at times scathing. Very best recognized for his dramatic works including, The Importance of Being Earnest as well as a Woman of No Significance, Wilde's comedies are still widely performed."I in no way forget a face, but within your c...

6. An Ideal Husband, London January 18, 2011 Literary and cultural icon, Oscar Wilde, was born of Irish intellectuals in the mid eighteen hundreds. Wilde was famous for his oddity and his wit, as well as for his manoeuvrings in the society of the time. However, it is for his written works, which crossed many genres, that he is lauded and loved by the literary minded of so many generations. Famous for the sardonic and absurd circumstances in which he was wont to place his literary characters, Wilde’s plays, in particular, were oeuvres in which the moralistic message was always cleverly obscured—rather like a fizzy tablet in a sweet drink,...

8. Life is NOWHERE. The novel, PERMANENT OBSCURITY by Richard Perez, reviewed by Kenneth Halpern December 10, 2010 PERMANENT OBSCURITY: Or A Cautionary Tale to Two Girls and Their Misadventures with Drugs, Pornography and Death by Dolores Santana (as told to Richard Perez) As the long, sardonic title of this novel implies, this is a dark, goofball comedy/satire, both seedy and sad, involving two young, foul-mouthed women with artistic dreams, and a crazy, almost hallucinatory caper steeped in the making of a BDSM "femdom" movie to pay off some low-level gangsters/drug dealers. It's an obscene and lurid piece of work, even sickening in parts, sure to completely alienate the Oprah Book crowd with... (read more) Author: Kenneth Halpern

9.

10. Giving Advice: Come again when you can't stay so long! May 20, 2010 A friend was buying cigarettes and a stranger said, “The surgeon general said smoking can be hazardous to your health.” My friend responded, “Did they also tell you that #$!@ing with me can be hazardous to your health?” The stranger opted to move to another line. When my friend told me about this encounter I laughed and then asked “why the heated response since you don’t smoke?” and she said, “because it wasn’t any of their business!” Now I don’t know if the stranger’s advice was sincere or sardonic, but I do know that giving advice, solicited or unsolicited, can be hazardous. Whethe... (read more) Author: Gwendolyn Ward

11. How Right is Your Conservative Commentator August 09, 2008 Those who host conservative radio shows are less likely to be pressured by PC watchdogs but all of them occasionally take leave of reality especially when it comes to theology. Let’s see! From the stinging replies of Americas “culture warrior,” Bill O’Reilly, to the sardonic humor of Glenn Beck and all in between there is a lot to be desired. It may be naiveté as in President Bush’s remark about Islam being a “peaceful religion” or it may just be that after all they are only political commentators and not avowed conservative theologians. In either case, some who are only slightly ab... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani
