Remember learning to ride your first two-wheeler? There were no training wheels back then, so it was your mum, dad, or a friend who kept you balanced. We crashed and fell without helmets or protective gear, but we always made it through. Aren't we a tough bunch?

Three drunk guys entered a taxi.
The taxi driver could tell they were all totally out of it, so he just started the engine and then turned it off again and said, “you have reached your destination”.
The first guy paid him, the second guy said thank you, and the third guy slapped the driver.
Oooh, this is a must-read, members! A big thank you to members BRIAN KK for sharing this one. You had us in stitches! Check out the rest of the joke here.

The new moon is the invisible phase of the Moon, with the illuminated side of the Moon facing the Sun and the night side facing Earth. In this phase, the Moon is in the same part of the sky as the Sun and rises and sets with the Sun. At times during the new moon phase, there may be just enough light reflected off the Earth's surface that the moon's disk is faintly visible, according to astronomers.
