First, definition of Amish
An Amish boy and his father were in a shopping mall for the first time.
They were amazed by everything they saw.
Especially the two silver sliding doors which opened and closed.
They stood in front of this in wonderment, watching.
The son asked 'Father what is it?'
'Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life.'
When the doors were open a fat, ugly old lady with a walking stick stepped inside. She pressed a button and the silver doors closed. The Amish father and son watched as the numbers on the wall lit up sequentially. The numbers lit up to the top and then a moment later, the numbers lit up as they came down.
The doors opened and a beautiful young blonde woman stepped out.
The father, without taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son, 'Son go get your mother'

Nokia Battery BL-5C
If you should check your nokia phone to see if the battery is BL-5C.. if it is return it.. It may overheat or explode during charging. ONLY BL-5B affected.
Nokia has announced today that 46 million of their batteries are at risk of
overheating, offering to replace them free of charge. There is a chance that a
short circuit could occur during charging, and apparently 100 cases have already
been reported. The batteries in question were all made by Matsushita between
December 2005 and November 2006, and are all of model number BL-5C.

50 Hottest Woman in Music
There were a few groundrules (hilarious)
Rule #1 (The Madonna Rule): This list is based on recent hotness. It doesn't matter how hot an artist was back in the ‘80s. It's 2007. What have you done for us lately?
Rule #2 (The Hayden Panettiere Rule): To qualify for this list, an artist must be over 18 years of age. We only objectify of-age women here.
Rule #3 (The Newcomer Rule): Each artist must have released at least one full-length album prior to August 1st, 2007 in order to qualify.
Rule #4 (The Pseudo-Musician Rule): Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton are disqualified for obvious reasons.
Rule #5 (The Ashlee Simpson Rule): A woman can move up a few spots based on talent and/or personality. However, they cannot be hurt by lack of talent. Just like in real life.
Rule #6 (The Anastacia Rule): A prolonged absence from the musical spotlight can bring an artist down several notches. This is, after all, a list of the hottest women in music, so it's only appropriate that they stay active in music.
Rule #7 (The Dixie Chicks Rule): For a group, the ranking will be determined by averaging the hotness of all members.
And here are the 50

Barcode
Ever wondered what the barcodes mean? well wonder no more coz here it is!
Left Hand Guard Bars - These bars serve as a starting reference point for the scanning devices.
Number System Character - This digit identifies the type of manufacturer or how the bar code will be used. For example 0, 6, and 7 are generally used in the retail industry, while 3 is assigned to the health and drug manufacturing industries.
Number System Bars - These bars correspond to the Number System Character.
Manufacturer ID Number - Each company must apply for a Universal Product Identification Number with the Uniform Code Council. The UCC assigns each company a unique six digit identification number for use on all of their products. The number is composed of the Number System Character and a five digit manufacturer's code.
Manufacturer ID Bars - These bars correspond to the Manufacturer's ID Number.
Tall Center Bar - These bars serve as a middle reference point for the scanning devices.
Item Number - Each company is responsible for assigning a unique five digit number to each of their products.
Item Bars - These bars correspond to the Item Number.
Modulo Check Character - This digit is derived from a mathematical formula based on the unique set of numbers in each bar code that helps ensure the accuracy of the data scan.
Modulo Check Bars - These bars correspond to the Modulo Check Character.
Right Hand Guard Bars - These bars serve as an ending reference point for the scanning devices.
