Woudn't it be simpler just to hook up electrodes to your gonads? Receiving electric shocks to your privates would certainly be more fear inducing than piddly flames shooting at you.

Does anyone else see the similarities?



I've been asking myself why the Disturbia movie poster looks strangely familiar. Does anyone recognize the image on the left from Command and Conquer?

Mike Arrington writes an honest and candid piece here. For a while now I've felt like I'm missing out by not living in Silicon Valley. I suppose I'll stay away for the time being.

Piracy of Microsoft Windows

Regarding MS Windows piracy, Om Malik says on the latest Cranky Geeks, "There's just like 25 activation things to do. How can you steal that shit anymore." Awesome.

I can nap and drive at the same time now.

Does it look cheap in person?

Outdoor Sink

I wonder if this would be a neat add-on to the yard. I would have to drill into the exterior of the house. What if the plastic starts to oxidize and look crappy after a year or two? Would my Mom want one of these? For Mother's day perhaps?

Ba da dat da da, I'm lovin' it!

Editor's Desk, Ergonomic Desk, Inclinded Desk - Levenger

    I'm all about the tools. Give me the right tools, workflows and protocols and I'm at least twice as motivated than as I was before. Where would I use this? In the office? Place it on top of my cluttered desk?

But what if I want my couch in Chink Yellow?

Doris Moore was shocked when her new couch was delivered to her Toronto home with a label that used a racial slur to describe the dark brown shade of the upholstery.The situation was even more alarming for Moore because it was her 7-year-old daughter who pointed out "nigger brown" on the tag.

Monkey prostitution!

"Out of the corner of his eye, Chen saw that one monkey gave a coin to another (instead of rushing to exchange it for treats.) He thinks, am I witnessing the first instance of monkey altruism? No. He was actually witnessing something he said he really wished he hadn't seen," said Dubner.After a brief grooming ritual, the monkeys who exchanged the coin started to have sex. Immediately after the incident, the paid monkey went over to Chen to get food in exchange for returning the coin, Dubner said.

These fish go up your pee pee hole!

When the candirú successfully invades a human, it proceeds exactly as it would with a fish host. After entering the misidentified orifice, it quickly wriggles its way in as far as possible, often accompanied by the victim's frantic attempts to grip the slippery, mucus-coated tail. In the unlikely event that the panicked victim manages to grasp the fish, its backwards-pointing barbs would cause excruciating pain at each pull, and bring a quick end to the dramatic tug-of-war. Once inside, the parasite inches its way up the urethra to the nearest blood-gorged membrane, extends its spines into the surrounding tissue, and starts feasting.

Does this sound like me?

You Have a Choleric Temperament

You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things.
Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life.
You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation.

You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon.
Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall.
You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others.

At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults.
Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion.
A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior.

Hard boiled egg

Beeeeeef
