Joke Of The Day
Bare back...
An Indian on horseback came along and offered her a ride to a nearby town.
She climbed up behind him on the horse and they rode off.
The ride was uneventful except that every few minutes the Indian would let out a whoop so loud that it would echo from the surrounding hills.
When they arrived in town, the Indian let her off at the local service station, yelled one final 'yahoo' and rode off.
'What did you do to get that Indian so excited?' asked the service station attendant.
'Nothing,' shrugged the woman, 'I merely sat behind him on the horse, put my arms around his waist, and held onto his saddle horn so I wouldn't fall off.'
'Lady,' the attendant said, 'Indians ride bareback...'

Berkeley was considering the needs of insurance company calculations. He was an actuary at the Prudential Insurance Company. He had in mind the potential usefulness of George Stibitz's Complex Number Calculator. The Prudential Mutual Assurance, Investment and Loan Association, founded 30 May 1848, was the first of the great industrial life insurance companies that eventually was handling the insurance policies of millions of people, but at first had only human computers (i.e., manual methods) to handle them. By 1877, 300 clerks were reviewing 2,500,000 policies were assisted by 24 Thomas de Colmar arithometers. Stibitz was a research mathematician at Bell Telephone Labs whose Complex Number calculator was operation on 8 Jan 1940.« |
