It might sound strange to some people …but the Bible has a lot to say about humour.

“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit dries the bones.” (Proverbs 17:22)

That’s probably why God made our faces in such a clever way, that we use much less muscles to smile than we do to frown or be angry.

And that’s why, when one of my nephews asked me to be involved in doing a Doritos Competition Advert, I accepted.

So here are our two entries. I hope you enjoy them and that they give you a warm and happy belly laugh. It is a good tonic for us all to be able to lighten up and see the funny side of life, as well as the sobering sides of life.

“A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.” (Proverbs 15:13)

There are many medical reports that show the truth of these wise words. Humour is even used in the treatment of many diseases such as cancer and mental illnesses.

“All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart has a continual feast.” (Proverbs 15:15)

When the first Temple was dedicated to God by Solomon, the people rejoiced and kept a very happy Feast of Tabernacles. It was so good that they were all still smiling as they left to go back home.

“And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.

And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had showed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.” (2 Chronicles 7:9-10)

“Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepts your works.” (Ecclesiastes 9:7)

So smile lots …we use less muscles!  J

Meantime …keep pumpin’!

This time the literal version is ‘Head over heels’ from Tears for Fears. I think I the Aha video is still a little better though.

Voici à nouveau une vidéo tirée de dailymotion…

Diffusé pendant la conférence Microsoft du CES 2008, cette vidéo emprunte d’humour, d’auto dérision et de second degré, montre le départ à la retraite du PDG de la firme.

N’aimant pourtant pas trop le personnage et sa mégalomanie planétaire, je n’ai pas pu m’empêcher de rigoler !!

Another poignant and thought provoking commentary from Henry Rollins.

Just a classic from Monty Python.

Dave Allen, one of the funniest comedians ever in my books. “Dave Allen at Large” was classic British comedy, I just realized how much I miss this stuff.

Available on DVD in the UK. Link to the BBC Shop. In the US at Amazon.com.

Enjoy.

“Goodnight, thank you, and may your god go with you“

International Philosophy World Cup

I think the crew of writers and actors for Monty Python were way ahead of their time. This is a great skit from the 70’s.

After Nietzsche gets booked he accuses Confucius (referee) of having no “free will” – bloody funny!.

Check out the line ups! 

Nice video from theresident.

Nice on the spot example of citizen journalism . The title says it all. Coming from a country (Canada) that has universal government paid health care. Believe me I am glad that this system is in place for numerous reasons, even though the majority of Ontarians choose to bitch about it all the time….maybe they should watch this video.

Quite an eclectic bunch for this episode with Kevin Smith. J.J. Abrams, Mark Hamill, Stand Lee and Jason Lee. Good questions from Kevin Smith….and some insightful chat.
