And Away We Go....
Welcome to my new online home. I've finally decided to establish my world-wide domination with a place where I can post my boring crap and don't bother anyone else. As you can probably see, I've posted a lot of stuff today, but don't worry gentle reader, my hands are not bloody from typing. I've just transferred a bunch of things I've posted on a group blog over the past year or so, to make it seem as if I'm not just starting this thing out today.
Clever, eh?
Okay. Not really.
Anyway, I think I'm gonna try to keep this updated and use it as a place to store news items and ideas that I might be able to use somewhere down the line. Thus, there will be a definite slant toward weird news, tech stuff, pictures from around the house (including kitty pics -- sorry) and my own drunken, late-night ramblings.
Let's see if I can actually keep up with this.

Lent Lent Lent
So, I know this is a little late, but even though I'm not religious in the least, I thought about what I might want to give up for Lent and realized that I wanted to give up giving up shit.
Take that, Lent!
By the way, I stole this cartoon from somewhere online a long time ago and have no idea where it came from now. If it's yours, I'm not taking credit for it. It made me laugh.

Now I Know Not To Do This...
Professor Allegedly Shows Explicit Video.
To his criminal justice class.
Of a man having sex with a pig.
"His pedagogy was to teach real life. His classes were very earthy. Some students took that very well, and some students didn't."
Sigh.
To his credit, I suppose, he hadn't planned on showing it. It wasn't part of the curriculum. It seems some of the students "begged" him "to show the 10-second footage." If they're anything like the 101 students I'm teaching at the moment, I can believe that.
He's still an idiot for showing it. And now he doesn't have a job. Brilliant.

Kitty Cuteness
Although, while cute, it was really all about both Tomie and Dru wanting the sweet spot on the back of the couch. They sat like this for a little while, groomed each other a bit, then Tomie made Dru leave.
But it was cute while it lasted. Tee-hee.
Jewish Millionaire Marries Dolphin

I'm not sure why her being Jewish is essential to the headline...
Best quote: "And I am not a pervert," she has stressed.
Welcome to a brand new year of weird.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
Here's mine. Somehow they know my weakness.
Your Birthdate: February 25 |
 You excel at anything difficult or high tech. In other words, you're a total (brilliant) geek. It's difficult for you to find people worth spending time with. Which is probably why you'll take over the world with your evil robots! Your strength: Your unfailing logic Your weakness: Loving machines more than people Your power color: Tan Your power symbol: Pi Your power month: July |
How The Death Star Works

There's lots of good stuff here, like did you realize that by blowing up the first Death Star, Luke actually became a mass murderer? Check out the interesting "Life On the Death Star" link (or click here) to check out the Empire's interpretation of what the Rebel Alliance did that dark day.

News From The UK
Badger rampage injures five
"My husband opened the door and the badger sat there and then, gradually, just slowly walked towards him and attacked him."
Mike Weaver, from the Worcestershire Badger Society, said: "I have never heard of anything like this in 24 years of work with badgers throughout the UK."
And then there's this:
"A man carrying a suitcase which contained the torso of a murdered prostitute caught a bus."
"He paid her £20 for sex. They both smoked crack cocaine and after that he killed her," said Dorian Lovell-Pank QC, prosecuting.
One more:
"Gang fires rockets on main road."
Ok, they were fireworks, but it sounds like England is going crazy while the Royals are out of town.

Yes. I will probably try this...
New Scientist Breaking News - Invention: Coffee beer
After trying the eye-popping energy of Tilt, the new caffeine enhanced beer from the Anheuser Busch company, I think I'm probably ready to try coffee beer.
I would only recommend Tilt for someone who really doesn't want to get drunk, but wants to say he or she just had a beer before doing a lot of cleaning or fast talking. Seriously. They're marketing this stuff for twenty-something males who want to drink right after work but before a night of partying. The caffeine burns away any buzz and it tastes just like Red Bull. And no one should drink more than one of these giant 16 oz, orange concoctions.
They are pretty cheap though. And will keep you up all night.

Poll: Majority Reject Evolution
Click Here for details
51% of those polled believe "God" created humans in their current form, while 30% believe humans evolved, but "God" "guided" the process. Only 15% believe that "God" did not guide the process (which, I suppose, sidesteps the question of the existence of "God" and just asserts that "He/She/It" has better things to do). All the results are stated in the past tense as if the evolutionary process is finished and we are its pinnacle.
As someone who doesn't believe in "God", I find this very depressing. But as someone who believes in evolution, at least there's a total of 45% who support that in some form. Although it is only a random sample of 808 adults with a +/- margin of 4 points.
When did science become a matter of public opinion?
At least the Women's Movement was deemed worthwhile in another poll.

For the Power Geeks
ThinkGeek :: PowerSquid Outlet Multiplier
I can't count the times that I've gotten ticked off trying to plug all of my electronic devices into the power strip only to lose an outlet (or two!!!) to those oversized plugs. It's about time someone came up with a way to fix the waste. Who needs the strip in the power strip?
If I hadn't just bought a battery back-up to plug everything into, this would be my very next purchase. Hell, I might still buy one for other parts of the apartment.

"Even kids cannot stand life unless they have a drink"
This is an item called "Kid's Beer" and is just a regular fizzy drink, but packaged and marketed like beer. The title of this posting is something the creators actually said in an interview about the stuff.
I truly enjoy Japanese marketing.
