Folks with too much time...

Looks like some students at MIT have created a game meant to get pissed at. Yes, it turns your boring urinal into a video game. They programmed a version of Whack-a-mole to go with it.

I guess this'd be good for training young boys to hit the toilet.

Free Ice Cream!

Baskin Robbins is doing its yearlyFree Scoop Night tonght. Get your free ice cream while it lasts.


Baskin Robbins is okay. I very much prefer Amy's Ice Cream here in Austin. Where else can you get beer or my current favorite, Tuaca Apple Cinnamon, flavored ice cream?

How big was that?

Ever wondered how big something was in comparison to something else? Well, the 1 Pixel per meter website will show you. How big if the Stay Puft Marshmallow man compared to Godzilla? How about the Starship Enterprise next to the Japanese Battleship Yamato? It's there.

My boner is Screaming Hello

In my hometown of Austin there is a group of folks that like to run around changing the wording of billboards. There are some really funny ones they've done. I've got one of these near my house that's begging for this. I might have a little Friday night fun.

When eBayers take speed...

The eBayer who posted this auction might want to lay off the coffee a bit. Maybe a switch to decaf is in order.

Geez, they spent more time typing that in than the auction lasted.

Dixie Chicks nekid? ho-hum...

Nekid Dixie ChicksIn yet another attempt to fix a career their lead singer damaged, the Dixie Chicks are posing nude on the next cover of Entertainment Weekly. Good try girls. I think it's gonna take a lot more than pics of you nekid to get folks to forget what you said. I'm kinda sick of their whining about boycotts and such. Yes, you do have the right to say whatever you want. No, you do not have the right to be free of the consequences of your actions. Deal with it. I'd have more respect for you if you'd not try to apologize. If you have a belief, stand behind it. Don't go all wishy-washy when you find out it'll affect your pocketbook. I've refused good paying jobs because I think employer drug-testing is wrong. I have a belief, I stand behind it.

I wonder how many hours of airbrushing went into that photo.

Learning the hard way...

In a follow up to the story I wrote about in, “Was Amanda Huginkiss Around?”, the duped reporter that filed the original story that mentions one Heywood Jablome tells about the fallout from his little gaff. A very funny piece.

Anita Bath could not be reached for comment.

Thank you, Michael for the motivation to pick up a new weapon.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out...

This editorial on SFGate.com, the online edition of the SF Chronicle, argues for the SF Bay Area to seceed from the union. I say go. Have fun. No big loss to the rest of the country.

I lived there for 5 years and was happy to get the hell out.

A whole new meaning for 'Beat it'

A nifty little device made by a company called Audi-oh packs a 'silver bullet' vibrator with a microphone. It turns environmental sounds into pleasurable vibrations. It can be hidden under clothes for heading out to dance clubs.


The best customer comment is "My wife doesn't complain about my band practicing in the house any more! You guys rock!"

Our initial assessment is that they will all sell...

Wacky IraqiA Conneticut company, Herobuilders.com has come out with a new doll of the Iraqi (Dis)Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf. He is known for such one-liners as “My feelings - as usual - we will slaughter them all”, “We have placed them in a quagmire from which they can never emerge except dead”, and “our initial assessment is that they will all die”.


You can see more of his great quotes at http://www.WeLoveTheIraqiInformationMinister.com.

Can you say fox in the henhouse?

A fat man is Suing McDonald's because they didn't hire him. He claims he was discriminated against because he's over 400 pounds.


I mean, jeez, why not hire him? He's evidentally familiar around fastfood. I wonder if they'll need this to take him to the hospital when he has his coronary.

Flying cats?

I'm in the market for a new cell phone and was looking around at different models. I really like the features of the new Nokia 3650 and my provider has a decent $150 rebate on it. It has all the bells and whistles including a built-in camera.

While doing research on the phone I came across this video. According to snopes, it isn't real. It's still funny as hell though.

Was Amanda Huginkiss around?

Charleston.Net , the website for The Post and Courier in South Carolina, has a story about protests against the Masters Golf Tournament. The protests themselves are an excersize in stupidity but the news story is great. You'll need to scroll down to the paragraph that starts "Throughout the morning". You'll note that police escorted away one Heywood Jablome.


I wonder if he knows where to find Pat McGroyn.

Hi-tech Pr0n...

There's an article about Sex in an MRI Scanner at health.com. Talks about the internal workings of women to accomodate a penis.

That's tough work. Geting paid to watch people have sex. Where do I sign up?

Turkey blood for oil?

Discover Current Issue has a story about a new invention that can turn turkey guts, or alot of things for that matter, into oil. They estimate they could generate 4 billion barrels a year that way.

Cool. They just need to hook up with these guys.

Chicken hamburger anyone?

Yum! Chicken Burgers!There's a story on Yahoo news about some chicken farmers who fed 30,000 live chickens through a woodchipper. I thought this was hilarious in its own right. Then I read further. The chicken farm that did this was in Escondido, CA, the town where my wife grew up and I met her. The chicken farm was literally right down the street from her house. As a kid she used to walk down to get fresh eggs.


Man, I hope they got video of this.
