  • WoW playing Mom Busts Kid

    Okay, a lesson for you kids out there. It’s very possible that your parents have more than a clue about computers these days. It’s not like my generation where most of them have no idea how to do things like “lob on”. From joystiq:

    Kid busted by WoW-playing mommy

    It used to be that a boy could play his favorite game all night and mean old Mom would be none the wiser about

    it.

    But when WoW’s so popular that Mom’s playing too, Junior runs the risk of getting busted. In the thread linked

    below, little boy Brion makes a rather innocent-sounding forum post at 3:30 AM. Trouble is, his mother notices

    because she reads that same forum. She responds:

    ”Pardon me for hijacking the thread, here..  But, Brion – if you don’t want your mother to know you were up

    and on the computer at 3:29 in the morning – DON’T post on a forum that she reads. Busted. Grounded.”

  • Hey, You Got Your Sex In My Violence

    Though I’m sick of all the news surrounding the hidden sex scenes in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas I enjoyed this column over on sfgate.com:

    There’s Sex In My Violence!
    What’s this lame soft-core porn doing in my ultraviolent “Grand Theft Auto”? I am outraged!

    …

    Suddenly that downloadable patch you installed last night kicks in and there’s, like, a lame and badly animated sex scene, right there, right between the graphic bloody part where you bazooka’d the police helicopter and the part where the gang-banger gets his lame ass beaten with a large handgun, and suddenly you’re like, what the hell? Who stuck this lame badly animated sex in here? Where’d my soul-numbing ultraviolent racism go? I am outraged. [sfgate.com]

  • Some Fun For The Afternoon

    No real point here, just some links I found interesting today.

    Now I’m off to try updating this blog to MT 3.2.

  • Lap Juice? Um…

    Once again, something from Boing Boing leaves me a bit speachless:

    Lapjuicer designed for lapdancers to make juice

    Picture-2-10
    This chair is designed to hold a piece of fruit so a lapdancer can grind the juice out of it. Semi-NSFW photos of the chair in action can be seen at the link.

  • NASA Violates Spiritual Rights

    Those damn people at NASA! How dare they? 🙂

    Russian astrologer sues NASA over comet experiment

    MOSCOW (AFP) – A Russian astrologer has taken legal action against NASA for compensation, claiming that the US space agency’s bombardment of the Tempel 1 comet will upset her horoscope and violates her spiritual rights.

    The experiment, in which NASA fired a projectile the size of a fridge at the comet Monday, was an attack on “the holy of holies,” Marina Bai’s law suit claims, according to Russian press reports. Her suit, filed at a Moscow court, claims violation of her “life and spiritual values.” [Yahoo! News]

  • Truth is Stranger than Fiction?

    A few years ago I remember a story going around about someone trying to use a $2 bill at a Taco Hell. Snopes doesn’t have any indication as to if it is true or false, but it seems that there are some people out there who still aren’t familiar with $2 bills.

    Best Buy Has Customer Arrested For Using $2 Bills

    A Baltimore man tried to pay for a Best Buy car stereo installation with $2 bills—and was arrested. Apparently the man was already upset with the Best Buy’s service, so thought he’d stage a minor protest by using the uncommon currency:

    “I’m just here to pay the bill,” Bolesta says he told a cashier. “She looked at the $2 bills and told me, ‘I don’t have to take these if I don’t want to.’ I said, ‘If you don’t, I’m leaving. I’ve tried to pay my bill twice. You don’t want these bills, you can sue me.’ So she took the money. Like she’s doing me a favor.”

    He remembers the cashier marking each bill with a pen. Then other store personnel began to gather, a few of them asking, “Are these real?”

    (Thanks, C0bra!)

  • Gotta Find One of Those Caps

    Googlegulp Images Logo
    Google has announced their latest project: Google gulp! (with auto-drink(tm)).

    Think fruity. Think refreshing.
    Think a DNA scanner embedded in the lip of your bottle reading all 3 gigabytes of your base pair genetic data in a fraction of a second, fine-tuning your individual hormonal cocktail in real time using our patented Auto-Drinkâ„¢ technology, and slamming a truckload of electrolytic neurotransmitter smart-drug stimulants past the blood-brain barrier to achieve maximum optimization of your soon-to-be-grateful cerebral cortex. Plus, it’s low in carbs! And with flavors ranging from Beta Carroty to Glutamate Grape, you’ll never run out of ways to quench your thirst for knowledge.

    I’m still unsure about the bottles reporting information about me to Google, but the Sero-Tonic Water sounds tasty. They are also rolling this out slowly, as they did with Gmail. You can only get some if a friend of yours gives you a bottle cap for it. Hopefully I’m cool enough that I can get one.

    Seen over on a friend’s LJ, a flash movie with a dancing and singing bunny.

  • How to Kill a Mockingbird

    In case you ever wondered what To Kill a Mockingbird was about.

    How to Kill a Mockingbird

    It’s the true story of To Kill a Mockingbird. Complete with pirates, robots, slaves, lasers, flaming sharks, ninjas, the moon, and a pickle, done in Flash. [via jenett.radio] [via waxy]

  • I Just Can’t Think of a Title for This One

    In the world of bizzare news:

    Pickled cats thrown at police

    Hamilton woman angry at police confiscation of pickled snakes so threw a jar of pickled kittens at them

    It has been revealed a Hamilton woman was so angry about police taking her three preserved snakes that she stormed into the station and threw a jar of pickled kittens at the counter.

    The jar shattered. [NZCity News]

    I personally think the sentence “It has been revealed a Hamilton woman was so angry about police taking her three preserved snakes that she stormed into the station and threw a jar of pickled kittens at the counter.” would make a great entry into the Bulwer-Lytton Contest.
