It involves 2 things which are currently a part of my life… World of Warcraft and my Ipod.
Here’s what happens when things go horribly wrong…
Note to self – never take your ipod to the can.
Doesn’t mean you are smart. This is quite possibly one of the most amusing things I’ve found on the net.
Not because of what it is, but because it is sanctioned as a valid advertisement method by a major Canadian University.
Ah yes…some people collect weapons…other people collect movie paraphenalia. For those who do both, this one is sure to be a hit.

Many of you probably don’t read The New Yorker. (Hell, I glance at it probably once every few months!) But I assure you, the magazine is filled some some high quality culture and information. This is why I find them releasing their entire archive (from February 1925 up to April 2006) to be so fantastic. For a mere $300, you too can own a part of this wonderful part of American culture.

Well…not really. Ninjitsu is just one of those things that takes years of hard work and endurance to master. For the lazy, here’s the next best thing. Creating Shurikens as if by magic out of ordinary paper. I wonder how long it’ll take before the TSA starts banning folding paper on airplanes.

Yes, it’s popular. God knows why. They have books of them…they even have little $10 pieces of sh*t that gets you playing it.
Hell…they even have more expensive pieces of sh*t that’ll do it too…and then a bit more. Acer is trying to cash in on the follies popular trends of today by incorporating Sudoku into their next line of Digital Audio Players [DAP]. So while it will continue to suck because it’s trying to be an iPod [and fails at it], it will suck even more for pandering to the mindless idiocy of the peoples.

Why, the largest ‘working’ Gundam robot ever made! It has hydraulics and a working cockpit!
I wonder how much it cost to build…

Opened up my google personalized homepage to find this greeting me:
Item #2 on my list: figure out who Sophia B. is….
I don’t know but this Swiss Army Knife makes a good case for it. Enough said.
Interesting look at the things that people starting out in college this year don’t know, since they never had to experience it since it happend before they were born.
I wonder what our own list would look like?
The Transportation Security Administration is the agency that makes the rules as to what we can and can not bring onto planes. While we can’t blame the TSA for terrorist attacks, we can blame them for making even the shortest trip in the air barely comfortable in the name of national security. If you’re not sure if something is banned, check out the link below. I’m sure it’ll come in handy for your next trip to Amsterdam.
TSA: Permitted and Prohibited Items [from the TSA...duh]
Sometimes, I have to wonder if the TSA has a spinning wheel deep inside their lair where they secretly choose a new item to ban at random.
What could they ban next? Digital watches? Hair clips? Baby pacifiers? I’m sure you can find reasons why they should be banned. Feel free to post them in the comments!
Lifehacker has a sweet link to a PDF describing how to counter Telemarketer’s script that they use to harass you. Definitely worth a good read…though one has to feel sorry for those underpaid, unappreciated folks who person the phones.

Yahoo Movies has a list of all the bots that will appear in the [sorta] upcoming feature film Transformers. The list looks pretty good, but the Autobots seem to be kinda thin in the ranks. All I’m hoping for is some good ol’ fashion bot on bot brawls between Megatron and Optimus Prime.

Not sure if anyone who reads this is actually close to St. Louis [none of the contributors are], but there appears to be some kind of exhibit at the St. Louis Zoo of the 2-headed nature.
Oh…did I mention that these are two-headed snakes?

In honour of today, the release date of SNAKES ON A PLANE, I bring to you NONSENSE!
Go see Snakes on a Plane.
Do it – because he said so.
Zefrank over at zefrank.com has a hilarious and candid commentary of the current US political landscape in the style of baseball commentaries. It’s pretty funny and captures a lot of what’s happening in the world today.

And he totally sold out! My sources inform me that he is also releasing a dvd of vignettes. Details can be found here
But when a grown man asks for it … it frizzles my brain
