Drive Through Lube

A delightfully suggestive advertisement by a lubricant company. Hell, it’s more than suggestive, it’s downright dirty.

Saturday, July 8th, 2006

Found, unfortunately un-attributed, on the internet.

To prove once and for all that math can be fun, we present: Wherein it is related how that paragon of womanly virtue, young Polly Nomial (our heroine) is accosted by that notorious villain Curly Pi, and factored (oh horror!!!)

419 Eaters scam awesome carvings

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

419eater is a site dedicated to people who turn the tables on Nigerian 419 scammers. The usual bag is to get them to write something dumb on a sign and send in a picture of themselves. One of them, however, inspires them with great riches in exchange for a sample of carved [...]

Stone Golem Suit

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

This video of a LARP group’s stone golem suit is absolutely awesome. If LARPers weren’t a half-step above Furries, one would almost want to go play with them.
This would be an incredible halloween costume though. If I only had the time, I would make one and dress up for the first time in [...]

Turning the other Cheek

Friday, March 24th, 2006

The congregation of the Church of the Nazarene finally tired of the ‘turn the other cheek’ attitude promoted by Jesus and took matters into their own hands. The whole TTOC method was simply allowing repeated burgularies of their church and so they decided to bring forth their Bats of Blessing and show Ralph Thomas [...]

Friday, February 24th, 2006

The Jaguar X Type pictured at right was put up for auction as a salvage vehicle this past month. The posting from the auction tells the tale of a good samaritan whose efforts went quite vigorously punished. You gotta feel for the guy. I can only imagine the scene as he jumped [...]

World’s Largest Windows Error Message

…across the square, I saw it: the world’s largest Windows error message – [...]

Oonts Oonts Oonts Oonts…

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

This is an awesome story of how Stefan Eriksson’s Ferrari was torn in half by a utility pole while he was “just a passenger” (who happened to have a BAC of 0.09). The tragedy truly is the loss of a beautiful Enzo.

Eriksson said he was a passenger in the Ferrari, which he said [...]

Monkey-Picked Tea

Thursday, December 22nd, 2005

Nothing quite like a hot cup of FOO Joy Monkey Picked Tea.
I’m glad that unskilled monkeys still have access to quality jobs. I guess the FOO Joy food company has just as much right to advertise the techniques used to produce their products as the ‘Made in X’ crowd does.

Using Annoying Noise to Control Teens

Friday, December 2nd, 2005

An inventor, Howard Stapleton, has developed a device “The Mosquito” used to annoy the young. Essentially it constantly produces an annoying chirping sound at high frequencies. It relies upon the fact that as we age, our hearing diminishes in the high ranges, therefore to adults the sound is imperceptible but annoys the young.
