and there it is

Hehe. This put a smile on my face. It reminded me of Doofy from Scary Movie. Hilarious. Don't bother him when he's vacuuming his car. Speaking of movie references to stuff in the news, here's one that reminded me of Hot Shots! when Deadmeat ejected from his plane, survived but then was hit by the ambulance. That's what I thought the article was going to be about.

Not funny. Except for the end... "such a stiff sentence is unlikely." Really? You don't think that innuendo is bad in this case?

it's funny cuz it's true

While I applaud the idea of "thinking outside of the box" I feel that this is just a little too far out of said box. I'm sorry but I don't believe that Creationism is a science. I am just not firm believer that a scientist shouldn't disregard a theory just because it doesn't jive with the Holy Bible. I do believe that there is plenty of room in science for religion, but just not a whole lot of room in religion for science according to the Creationists.

Speaking of outside the box, I think this lady isn't just outside of the box she fell off the edge. Well, I'm not sure because I think the universe is spherical, or at least as spherical as an M-theory universe can be.

How bad does your life have to be to get help from Baldwin brothers, Stephen and Danny? I mean, seriously and it to be news? Isn't there anything better to report on in celebrity news? Anyone dying of some sort of brain injury? What? Too soon?

While it's related to the whole celebrity brain injury thing, helmets in this case don't save lives. Not in this instance. It doesn't do anything in skydiving either. To quote Jerry Seinfeld, "at that point, the helmet's wearing you..." Which I always found to be funny, not because of the personification of a helmet but it almost doesn't make sense. When we think skydiving accident, I'm sure that most of us think "chute didn't open." However, there's other injuries that occur too in which a helmet would save your life or prevent serious injury. We just can't help but think of the most extreme cases, which makes the joke funny. 

Hahaha. I like the comment at the end. "A small price to pay to say you have a "flying car." Air quotes are required whenever you do." I wonder who's going to be able to afford the "flying car" with the economy the way it is.

One could take from this article that NASA condones killing helpless bats. Sure they did a risk assessment, no harm to the orbiter. I thought they were out there to advance the knowledge of the planet. The whole planet, bats included. How can they continue to believe that when the road is paved over bats? I hope you sleep well tonight NASA. Too much?

minimally exceptional

Uh, not the best screen-to-stage idea they've come up with recently. Well, I guess they could a screen-to-stage of "Naughty Nurses 4." Yeah, that would be a bad idea. It would probably make a lot of money, but get a lot of hate mail too.

Good to know. Farting = assault. OK, I know the letter of the law on what is consider "assault" but really? You want to set that kind of precedence?

Yes, I can see where an attack would be justified, however, I don't think the student was mentally ill but rather the mother. What the hell? Seriously? You think it's necessary to attack to old people for suggesting that the kid might not be right in the head? Yeah, that'll go over well. I mean, it's not like there are some mental illnesses that are genetics and this is not proof of that point.

That is odd. Not the 1.4 million gallons of water. Not the obscure reference to Ben Lomond High School swimming pool (because we ALL know how big their pool is). It's odd because the dude paid for it. It's impressive, but I can't comprehend it.

I'm not math genius, but I think the reward is less than the prime number they found. Wouldn't it be awesome if the reward was the same as the number found? Bahaha, that'd motivate me to find one. I figure it'll be something like 70 million digits or so.

Aw, that's so sweet. Stupid, but sweet. Nothing says "I love you" like buying your girlfriend breast implants. I wonder if it's job related, you know, something tax-deductible.

Here's an example of minimally exceptional.

grab it

Oh. What are you trying to grab? Nothing? You're just reaching. OK. Sorry, I don't buy into the superstition. It's just fun to poke fun at. It sucks that Isaac Hayes and Bernie Mac are dead, but that's life. It's not like someone is out there killing celebrities by the threes. That'd be a good movie.

That's clever. The porn police. I just want to know if anyone actually fell for the "porn police" trick. I don't think they'd admit it. You know, that'd make for a great t-shirt.

Well, the problem seems to be that their 1 Mind is defective. Sometimes I think it's better to go without the rest of the world, but this seems a little extreme. Not the whole "birth without doctors" but the notion that if a 19-month old doesn't say "Amen" that you should stop feeding him and put him in the suitcase.

That doesn't make sense. Not that whole spending $147K on the license plate "1" but the fact that the high bidder wants to remain anonymous. I mean, people are going to see them driving around and know who they are right? That's the point of the custon license plates. It'd be easy to fill out those damn forms that ask for your license plate number.

Apparently they never heard of that you can't beat a dead horse. The producers of "The Mummy"are really trying to beat that horse. "The Scorpion King 2" and "The Mummy 3" not exactly good works. Either come up with a new idea or just get out of the business, you're just making things worse by grasping at those straws.

This is not good news. Definitely. Bad news. Cloaking technology? Yeah, I just can't put in to words how bad this idea is.

city

This sounds bad. Can't sterilize humans... Germs get all bad-ass in space, what the hell is going to happen to the space program?

Aw, that's so sweet. And complex. I was discussing my track record with crosswords and I probably wouldn't have gotten the message. That's cool though. Unique is a better word. Not to say that my Heinz proposal isn't a good idea. Here's the video.

So people are against it? Ugh. I understand that there can be some apprehension to the law because it takes away from the identity of your place. All of sudden you live at a different address? Not a huge deal. Call the newspaper and magazines you've got subscriptions to and change it. Of course I think the state should help out with the potential costs of this change but other than that why be mad? And somehow we've got a higher than average score.

Weird. This news story takes place in London, but the information wasn't given on the metric system.

Dink? What? I've never heard of it as a derogatory slur. I've got to use it. Huh, #6. So I want to try to get a license plate that says "Charlie" since it too can be a derogatory term for someone of Vietnamese decent. I mean "Charlie" seems like a worse word than dink. And for crying outloud! It's the guy's name! It's not like he changed his name to that, like if I were to change my last name to "gaybasher" for example. That'd be bad. That'd be really bad.

Huh. Nobody wants desert? I can't imagine why. I mean, it's only $14,500 for it. And what's the reviews on it? I mean I've had some good desert in my time and I've shelled out maybe $10, so it's not that much of a stretch for my budget.

ooby dooby

Huh. Apparently I've just been doing it all wrong. Not manly enough I guess. And yes, I've been taking notes on specific subjects. Some good stuff there. I'm more for manly action than looking pretty. Yeah, while you are busy looking good I'm getting out of the car that's ready to go over a cliff. And nothing says 'manly' like some good spam musubi. Yum.





Pretty cool huh?
