At The Top - New GOO;
Unsanity Updates Silk -
Hello, hello! It's  time
to kick off a round of new pixel pleasures as we roll out this week's Friday
Icon Edition!
But before we do, we'd like to bring attention to Unsanity's new
release - Silk
2.1.2! This all too cool
font tool enables Quartz text rendering in Carbon applications, substitutes
fonts, allows changing of the theme font, and more. The current update
addresses a crash in the recently released iTunes 6.0 when accessing the
music store if font substitution is enabled. Thanks to Smart
Crash Reports, they were
able to detect and fix the problem within minutes of the iTunes 6 release!
So once you've grabbed your updated copy of Silk from
the folks at Unsanity,
scroll on down and check out the latest Icons and Bananas!

Bump On Head
A man who had just undergone a very complicated operation kept complaining
about a bump on his head and a terrible headache. Since his operation had
been an intestinal one, there was no earthly reason why he should be complaining
of a headache.
Finally his nurse, fearing that the man might be suffering from some post-operative
shock, spoke to the doctor about it.
The doctor assured the nurse, "Don't worry about a thing. He really
does have a bump on his head. About halfway through the operation we ran
out of anesthetic."
Noah The Gambler
Q. How do we know that they played cards in the ark?
A. Because Noah sat on the deck.
Bubba Smart
My dad gave me one dollar bill
'Cause I'm his smartest son,
And I swapped it for two shiny quarters
'Cause two is more then one!
And then I took the quarters
And traded them to Lou
For three dimes-- I guess he didn't know
That three is more than two!
Just then, along came old blind Bates
And just 'cause he can't see
He gave me four nickels for my three dimes,
And four is more than three!
And I took the nickels to Hiram Coombs
Down at the seed-feed store,
And the fool gave me five pennies for them,
And five is more than four!
And I went and showed my dad,
And he got red in the cheeks
And closed his eyes and shook his head--
Too proud of me to speak!
Bunch Of Cows
A young man visiting a dude ranch wanted to be "macho," so he
went out walking with one of the hired hands. As they were walking through
the barnyard, the visitor tried starting a conversation: "Say, look
at that big bunch of cows."
The hired hand replied, "Not 'bunch,' but 'herd.'"
"Heard what?"
"Herd of cows."
"Sure, I've heard of cows. There's a big bunch of 'em right over there."

Out Of The Park With iPod - Apple is selling
more iPods than ever. In fact, topping a billion in sales would be no surprise
as of this fiscal quarter thanks to the push of the iPod. Apple has sold
over a million iPods this quarter alone and is not slowing down there. In
fact, this huge interest in the iPod has sparked a huge interest in Apple
desktops as well causing Apple to hit a home run in sales. -
from Bloomberg
Piece Of The iPod Pie - The Apple iPod is
such a success that everyone wants a slice of the successful pie. Music companies
are trying to tap into iTunes success by getting prices pushed up, but Japan
has come up with another way to catch a ride on Apples coattails. It is proposing
a way to make profit by putting a tax on the iPod. And not on the iPod only,
but on all MP3 players.- from MacNewsWorld
Counting Sheep - Counting sheep is not something
only to be done to  try to fall asleep. Counting sheep is officially part
of a shepherds job. And though shepherds may have been counting sheep for
centuries now, modern shepherds are actually required to have accounting
skills to keep track of the herds. Not only that, they have to have skills
to be able to write grants for funding. - from Excite

No Bull
Two cows are standing next to each other in a field.
Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning."
"I don't believe you," says Dolly.
"It's
true, no bull!" exclaims Daisy.
A Real Groaner!
Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced
an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which
made him rather frail. And with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath.
This made him...
A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
Absolutely No Pun
There was the person who sent twenty different puns to his friends, with
the hope that at least ten of the puns would make them laugh. No pun
in ten did.
Bubba And Cuz
At the police station, Bubba explained to the police officer why his cousins
shot him.
"Well," Bubba began, "We wuz havin' a good time, when my
cousin Ray picked up his shotgun and said, 'Hey, der ya fellows wanna go
hunting?'"
"And then what happened?" the officer interrupted. "From
what I remember," Bubba said, "I stood up and said, 'Sure, I'm
game.'"

Higher Capacity iPod - A version of the iPod
nano which can store more  songs is expected soon. The upgrade will provide
people with much more photo and song storage capability. Whether Apple will
defer from iPods white color is iffy however, because iPod seems to have
quite a successful way with white. If anything, it is speculated that Apple
will only try a slight change of color, such as silver. -

All Eyes On Jobs - Forbes has deemed October
12 the day to fix all eyes on Apple CEO, Steve Jobs. Not only are Apple followers
anticipating the big announcement which Jobs will deliver on that day, but
much of the media is hyped up about it as well. It is speculated that an
iPod capable of video may be brought forward, but the mysterious master of
Mac may mesmerize the world with even more than that. -

Apple Shares On The Increase - So far, Apple
has sold twenty million iPods when the sales of only eighteen million were
predicted. More than meets the eye is making the shares rise, however. There
is the iTunes phone released recently and the possibility of an iPod to which
music videos can be downloaded for $1.99 each. Thanks to Tiger, there is
also an increase of computer sales which is where it all started. -

Odds and Ends
Green Coffee - Species
of coffee trees can grow as tall as 32 feet and their leaves can range in
color from purple to yellow. Green is the predominant color, however.
Time Spent On The Freeway - Experts
have come to the conclusion that additional U.S. freeways does not automatically
ease vehicle congestion. An example was shown in Springfield, Virginia, outside
of Washington, D.C. The 8-year, $434 million freeway construction project
resulted in commuters shaving only 30 seconds off of their drive time. The
conclusion was that motorists lost more time in delays during construction
than they could make up once the construction was complete.
Hunger For Thirst - Most healthy adults can
go without eating anything for a month or longer. But they must drink at
least two quarts of water a day.
Forgive But Don't Forget - Always forgive your
enemies, but never forget their names.
- R. Kennedy
Dance Of Madness - Those who dance are
considered insane by those who cannot hear the music.

Beware Of Dog!
Upon entering the little country store, the stranger noticed a sign saying;
DANGER! BEWARE OF DOG! posted on the glass door. Inside he noticed a harmless
old hound dog asleep on the floor besides the cash register.
He asked the store manager, "Is THAT the dog folks are supposed to
beware of?"
"Yep, that's him," he replied.
The stranger couldn't help but be amused. "That certainly doesn't look
like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that sign?"
"Because," the owner replied, "before I posted that sign,
people kept tripping over him."
Blondie's House On Fire
A blonde came home and found her house on fire, rushed next door, telephoned
the fire department and shouted, "Hurry over here. My house is on fire!"
"OK," replied the fireman, "How do we get there?"
"Don't you still have those big red trucks?"
Brilliant Deductions
The stockbroker received notice from the IRS that he was being audited.
He showed up at the appointed time and place with all his financial records,
then sat for what seemed like hours as the accountant intently examined them.
Finally the IRS agent looked up and commented, "You must have been a
tremendous fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle."
"Why would you say that?" wondered
the broker.
"Because you've made more brilliant deductions on your last
three returns than Sherlock Holmes made in his entire career."
