Jokes you can tell in your class- For thirty years, Johnson had arrived at work at 9 A.M. on the dot. He had never missed a day and was never late. Consequently, when on one particular day 9 A.M. passed without Johnson's arrival, it caused a sensation. All work ceased and the boss himself, looking at his watch and muttering, came out into the corridor. Finally, precisely at ten, Johnson showed up, clothes dusty and torn, his face scratched and bruised, his glasses bent. He limped painfully to the time clock, punched in, and said, aware that all eyes were upon him, "I tripped and rolled down two flights of stairs in the subway. Nearly killed myself." And the boss said, "And to roll down two flights of stairs took you a whole hour?" ------------------------------------------------------------- Want More Free Jokes & Humor?

Ask The Experts- Ask The Educational Expert: <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> A question from anonymous: "What if your having problems about being in a high school that you really didn't plan on going to? The school I was accepted into was Arch Bishop Carroll and it is a catholic school, I figured that if I go there, I would get a better education. Not to disreguard this school, I just think that maybe I made the wrong choice. What do you think?" TeAch-nology.com's Response: "It is hard to say if you made the wrong choice without knowing some more details about your current status at the high school you are presently attending. Our recommendation is that you meet with a school guidance counselor and discuss your issues and/or concerns with that person. You should also include your parents in this process. Mean time, make sure you keep up with your school work. You don't want to fall behind academically. Good luck!" ************************************************************* To ask the TeAch-nology.com staff an educational question go to: http://www.teach-nology.com/help/ask_an_ed_expert/ ************************************************************* Ask The Technology Expert: <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> A question from anonymous: "How does intranet works?" TeAch-nology.com's Response: "Intranets are internally focused Internets. An Intranet is different from an Internet in the following ways: --Intranet is a network within the organization, whereas Internet is a world wide network. --Intranet has access to Internet, but not vice- versa. Generally speaking, Intranets are constructed by implementing a common language (the Internet's TCP/IP protocol) across an organization's network to enable the exchange of information between all existing networks and network devices. The basic network infrastructure needed to support an Intranet consists of typical networking devices --hubs, switches, and routers-- all of which understand the TCP/IP protocol that is being used to transmit data across the network. Hubs provide connectivity for desktops, printers, and servers, and are used to build LANs (Local Area Networks) . While LANs are connected via switches and/or routers. The desktop computers must have some form of Network Interface Card (NICs) added to each PC to enable it to talk to other equipment on the network. All of these devices work in tandem to move data throughout the network as well as to the Internet or other private networks." ************************************************************* To ask the TeAch-nology.com staff a technology question go to: http://www.teach-nology.com/help/ask_a_tech_expert/ ************************************************************* ============================================================= 8.
