As per our conversation, I believe these to be the most "vital" talking points for our alumni to hit on when sending letters
- Their positive experiences as a member of PiKA and what the house (and Greek Life) has done for them and what PiKA currently means to them
- Quickly hitting on the facts of the case. That they feel the penalty was unjust. Maybe also hitting on their complete disregard for their judicial process (more information below) and how they feel their actions are setting poor examples for the CMU community
- Alumni's current support (either financially or through word of mouth to other people) of the university and how that would change
Points to potentially touch on with the process:
- first time in the University's judicial system that a 2nd board has been reconvened without new evidence being presented. The fact they used last March's events against the fraternity even though no university charges or responsibility was found against the chapter
- lack of charges filed against the underage students who drank in their dorms that night. Not to mention against the individual who purchased the alcohol or the RA on duty. Lack of responsibility on the individuals who were directly involved with this kid getting extremely drunk to begin with
- harshness of penalty: We were not on probation when this event occurred which is against the normal procedure of giving organizations a chance to rectify mistakes.

This was taken from Metafilter, where the original thread is pretty amusing.
Belgium is worse than Iraq? I think that word "worse" doesn't mean what you think it means.
Dude, my brother just got back from his second tour of Belgium. His unit was at Grooenplatz in Antwerp when the shit went down, and he has to live the rest of his life remembering how his friends got rude stares and even cold service in stores.
The other day we took the subway and he lost his shit at the Airport stop. First some little girl was eating french fries and my brother started sweating. I didn't know this, but the Belgians are so nasty that they use child soldiers-- the child offers you a frite or foil-wrapped chocolate and then when you go to take it, they pull it away and laugh.
Then some guy wearing a hat got on with luggage. My bro thought it was an Orthodox Jew carrying a suitcase full of diamonds and we had to leave the train and go get a cab. This how he lives every day. The military hasn't been following through on their promises to help him either.
This is all fucking Bush's fault, too. The administration falsified all that "evidence" about Belgium's threat to the US and the god damn Times fed it to the public. We all know that the war was about a limited resource that the United States is desperate for-- Trappist Ale.

Gates and the Buff try to get billionaires to donate 1/2 their loot So that's pretty cool - helping the less-fortunate instead of just handing it to their heirs. So the article is mildly interesting. But the comments. Oh the comments. I guess this was also posted at Drudge, so his followers are there mixing it up with everyone else.
Since they have too much money, and I don't have enough...Instead of pouring a gazillion dollars down into the sewage pipe of africa - why not do something useful like pass me about 400k so I can shore up my retirement account, get the kids thru college, etc. But nah, doing something actually useful would be too out of vogue.
Translation: I am more important than everyone in Africa. Nice.
If someone wants to donate half or all of their money to charity, that's their prerogative. Frankly, in a billionaire's tax bracket, they already give over half to charity.

Plane kills man jogging on beach. The plane was making an emergency landing after losing its propeller and was silently gliding. The man was taking a break from work, and listening to an iPod. This reminds me of something that's occurred to me before: does anyone else think it's strange that non-commercial and non-military pilots are allowed to fly around on their own? It seems like they get in more accidents than commercial flights, fly their planes into buildings (here and here too) or the ocean, and recklessly fake their own deaths. I know it isn't that dangerous, but I guess I'm surprised that in a world where coffee must come with "hot" warning labels that we allow amateur pilots to zip around above us.
Second, a fifteen year old girl was nearly beaten to death after text messaging some guy she barely knew - although to her discredit, she apparently said something about the guy's brother's suicide.

Jalopnik salutes Air Force pilot Bob White. He went Mach 6.7 in a jet and managed to shatter his windshield. If this happened yesterday I'd be impressed as hell. It happened in 1961. I'm astonished.

It was designed to fly at speeds up to Mach 6, and altitudes up to 250,000 ft. The aircraft went on to reach a maximum speed of Mach 6.7 and a maximum altitude of 354,200 ft. Looking at it another way, Mach 6 is about one mile per second, and flight above 264,000 ft. qualifies an Air Force pilot for astronaut wings.

The Edgertonite National Party exists to secure political independence for the people of the Midwestern United States and a homeland for the Lauraist religion. We use the term “Nation of Edgerton” to describe the area within a 240-mile radius of Minneapolis, Minnesota. We are a non-traditional Communist party, based on the ideology of Lauraism: the belief that Laura Ingalls Wilder is God, Communism (public ownership of business) is the best form of government, age of consent laws should be repealed, public transit should be returned to the routes, fares, and schedules of 18 September 1970, the Nation of Edgerton should secede from the United States as a Lauraist homeland, and all people, including children, deserve as much personal liberty as possible consistent with public safety and the rights of others.

"Need an amputee to complete my Halloween costume (Brooklyn)"
So this might seem strange and really offensive to some but hopefully someone will reply. I have always loved the scene in Empire Strikes Back where Chewbacca has to carry around a half reconstructed C3PO in a backpack because he hasn't reattached his lower body yet. For Halloween I would love to dress up like this. I am big enough and strong enough to both pull off the Chewbacca look and to carry around a lot of weight for the night. So basically I am looking for a double amputee (someone missing both legs - preferably at the hip) to accompany me as C3PO for the evening. We should meet ahead of time so that we can work out the backpack/harness system. There are a few parties that I want to hit and I think we will be the hit of any event we attend. Anyone up for this?

John: We're going to set up a table in front of Wal*Mart and ask people to sign a petition to protect traditional marriage. We're going to interview them about why they thing traditional marriage is important, and then we'll tell them that we are trying to ban divorce.
People who supported Prop 8 weren't trying to take rights away from gays, they just wanted to protect traditional marriage. That's why I'm confident that they will support this initiative, even though this time it will be their rights that are diminished. To not support it would be hypocritical.
We're also going to collect signatures in front of "Faces," the largest gay nightclub in Sacramento.

This sends a message to other hipsters that you're on your way to something more interesting that doesn't require a dress code after you're done making the token gallery appearance (ironically this usually takes more effort than the other options).

Guns and ammunition are one growth industry in this recession, fuelled by anecdotal evidence that the economic downturn has sparked an increase in crime from which Americans want to protect themselves.
The Texas Senate criminal justice committee is debating whether to permit state residents to come to work with guns in their vehicles. Proponents say as crime rises, Texans must have guns to drive safely to and from work. Critics object that, given the increasing number of Texans losing their jobs, guns in their cars is a recipe for disaster.

We estimated over 163 000 fire-related deaths in 2001 in India, which is about 2% of all deaths. This number was six times that reported by police. About 106 000 of these deaths occurred in women, mostly between 15 and 34 years of age. This age—sex pattern was consistent across multiple local studies, and the average ratio of fire-related deaths of young women to young men was 3:1.
The inference is that many of the deaths are from self-immolation and domestic abuse. I'm not sure how they control for men (I assume) being out of the house more, but it's in the Lancet, which I think is pretty well respected. Anyway, if anybody's got any thoughts, I'm all ears. -hendred

Black female official sues NASCAR for $250 million. If you guessed it was because NASCAR's really boring, you'd be wrong. It's for wrongful termination, hostile work environment, etc. I'm not sure what warrants the 250 mil, but I'm guessing that's to grab headlines. Check out the PDF complaint if you've got time. If even 1/10th of what she says is true, that's just messed up. -hendrix

GTA Live! comes to Portland, ME A 19 year old guy recently lit up 10 cars in Portland within a few hours. It's been pretty big news around here, but when it popped up on Jalopnik, I realized we've made the big time. If you check out the Google map, my apartment is about 2 blocks from fires 6,8,9, and 10.

For those of you who will be in Pittsburgh this weekend for the wedding, here are the plans for nightlife. Please spread the word and feel free to invite whoever...
The Friday night get together will start at Doc's in Shadyside (map) and probably move across the street to the Shady Grove around Midnight. I would shoot to be at Doc's around 8:30 to 9pm... we should have an area set aside for our use on the second floor, although we may just have to stake a claim to our own spot (which won't be too difficult). The rehearsal dinner attendees will be coming to Doc's directly from the dinner, so we will meet you there.
After the reception on Saturday, buses will be stopping at hotels to drop off any weaklings and then immediately continuing on to Bar Louie in Station Square (map).
As for Sunday, if you are sticking around to watch the 1pm games, we have the second floor of The Buckhead Saloon in Station Square (map) reserved. Parking is available in Station Square and please try to show up between 12:30 - 1.
To foster good relations, Hudson shared his brandy with the tribal chief, who soon passed out. But upon waking up the next day, he asked Hudson to pour some more for the rest of his tribe. From then on, the Indians referred to the island as Manahachtanienk -- literally, "The High Island."
And not "high" as in "tall;" high as in "the place where we got blotto." Most people would agree that Manhattan has stayed true to the spirit of its name ever since.
EP has two types of amnesia—anterograde, which means he can't form new memories, and retrograde, which means he can't remember old memories either, at least not since 1960. His childhood, his service in the merchant marine, World War II—all that is perfectly vivid. But as far as he knows, gas costs less than a dollar a gallon, and the moon landing never happened.
"My memory flows like a movie—nonstop and uncontrollable," says AJ. She remembers that at 12:34 p.m. on Sunday, August 3, 1986, a young man she had a crush on called her on the telephone. She remembers what happened on Murphy Brown on December 12, 1988. And she remembers that on March 28, 1992, she had lunch with her father at the Beverly Hills Hotel. She remembers world events and trips to the grocery store, the weather and her emotions. Virtually every day is there. She's not easily stumped.

Within Leet, the term "newbie" (and derivations thereof) is used extensively. This is due in part to its origins as a means of segregating the "elite" echelon from outsiders.

The only thing that might better this is if you had the huge guys from the World's Strongest Man competition compete in events requiring fine motor skills like the Needle-point Sew Scramble, the Fishing Fly Tie-off, or the infamous Model-car Building Matchup.
Refugee is apparently a racist term. This one's from ryan, who adds I really don't understand this issue at all. Can anyone shed some light as to why this matters at all? And when did we stop looking at context of what people say when deciding if they are racial or not?
Jesse Jackson can shove it up his ass. They're refugees. Deal with it.
Life is much better, down where its wetterTue Sep 6 2005
Shark VS Octopus! WMV video. This one's from Old Sea Captain derek. It takes a while to load, but man is it worth it. See if you can watch it without saying 'Gewwww!' Apparently this weekend was octopus weekend.
The Grove is on the web. This one's from "Jim's golden rod" - This website is pretty weak. It doens't really contain anything. But I think we'd all agree that it needs to be a part of bhendrix.com. I guess.
From the 'What's the point?' departmentWed Aug 31 2005
I was looking through my spam folder to see if anything had gotten flagged incorrectly, and this came to me from the 'Hottie Research Panel'. Thought it was worth a laugh. And if anyone knows what the point of this is, please share.
From ryan: If anyone is interested in some Pens tickets, I can get 2 for any game at season ticket prices (around half of what it costs at the gate). So if anyone is interested in this, let me know.
NOT SAFE FOR WORK!!!! Please note all the exclamation points there.
The most insane tattoo you will ever see. If you are at work, DO NOT look at this. If you are squeamish, DO NOT look at this. If a picture of a wang offends you, DO NOT look at this. Anyway, I made mention of this to somebody a while ago, and I just got a new account with 3.5 GB of space to burn and 100GB of transfer. naj sent this to me a while ago. It still haunts me.

According to the ECFR paper published simultaneously this week in the International Journal Of Science and the adolescent magazine God's Word For Teens!, there are many phenomena that cannot be explained by secular gravity alone, including such mysteries as how angels fly, how Jesus ascended into Heaven, and how Satan fell when cast out of Paradise.
For all you Spaghetti Monster devotees out there, you can check out the wikipdedia entry and of course, the DIY bumper sticker.
Police officers fight off looters after a beer train crashes This one's from Jay Park. If you ever want to hear some funny stories, talk to a beer delivery guy that's worked the not-so-nice part of town. It's amazing what people will do for beer. Or maybe not...
At 40,000 feet, the glove on my right hand hadn't inflated. I knew that if I radioed my doctor, he would abort the flight. If that happened, I knew I might never get another chance because there were lots of people who didn't want this test to happen. I took a calculated risk, that I might lose use of my right hand. It quickly swelled up, and I did lose use for the duration of the flight.
Carrot Top update I looked around a bit and this appears to be real. The allegations of steroid use are fast and furious, but WTF? Seriously. WTF? JT sent the link.
Reese Witherspoon has had it with dumb blondes. I'm fairly certain she's referring to the new Daisy Duke. Just a hunch. Update Stiner has informed me that the quote was taken way out of context and refers to raising her daughter (who I assume is blonde). That takes all the fun out of it. Unless she's throwing daggers at her kid Gangs of New York style, which would be cool to see. Damn you internets and your selective quoting!! When will I learn?
Guy has his nuts padlocked. For two weeks. This one's from Goldsmith, who added Just heard this one on the radio and figured I'd pass it along. A hacksaw???
This is all bean: Women eats 35 bratwursts to win competition. After having watched Clerks again very recently, and then hearing about a women eating alot of weiners, I must ask: "In a row?"
From Oof: Steve Guttenberg's back, baby! I don't really know what to say about this. I only have one thing to add: "Who holds back the electric car? Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star? We do!" -ed.
From oof: The makers of Google Maps, which was recently updated with a cool hybrid view, comes Google Earth. You have to download it, but it is well worth it. Be sure to check out the Grand Canyon tour which shows the full functionality.
No honor, or humor, in dishonor... apparentlyTue Jul 26 2005
From Jacques: Using a fake Purple Heart medal to pick up chicks and get drinks.... I can't decide whether to laugh or not... personally, I think its a funny concept to use in a movie... but I can see where some people might get upset. Generally, I like sticking to things like "My dog just died..." or "I just had surgery".
Omari sent this well-crafted entry, and while it was posted some time back, it's still funny.
Question: Why should the news channels go through the hassle of filtering through all the school/business closings that are sent to them when those businesses and schools can just load them directly through the internet?
Maddox on the GTA 'Hot Coffee' issue There's a patch you can get that allows you to unlock two people doin' it. Yay! Because you can't find that anywhere on the internet.
Al Gore invented the Internet for stuff like this. This is from Oof, who will be paying for my retinal correction surgery after watching this. That, or drinks next weekend.
Insane/bizzare/scary ad from Greenpeace. Watch the whole thing. The tagline at the end will explain it if you don't get it. I'm marking it no desks, but it's a mild no desks.
Craig's List - I just can't stop eating poop! From Jeanine, who adds You know you have pissed someone off when your shit-eating skills are marketed on craigslist. Lesson to be learned: Never eat anything brown in front of people that hate you. And if you're an albino, get out in the sun once in a while.
Google Moon Be sure to zoom all the way in. Derek sent this, and says it proves they're tools. JT also sent this and added the following:
On the Moon, nerds get their pants pulled down and they are spanked with Moonrocks
Ignignot: Hello, Carl, I am Ignignot, and this is Ur. Ur: I am Ur! Ignignot: We are Mooninites from the inner core of the Moon. Ur: You said it right! Ignignot: Our race is hundreds of years beyond yours. Ur: Man, you hear what he's sayin'? Ignignot: Some would say that the Earth is *our* moon. Ur: *We're* the Moon! Ignignot: But that would belittle the name of our Moon, which is the Moon. Ur: Point is, we're at the center, not you! Carl: No, the real point is I don't give a damn. (slams door)
Hooter Shooters Giant fake breasts that dispense shots of alcohol. Because in the middle of a lap dance, you too might need a shot. Something about this says 'Wow, that's just messed up.' and something else says 'God bless America.' Got this from jwz. Totally NSFW.
Transformers' movie site. They have a giant truck at a comic con, and they announced July 4, 2007 for the movie. Only 723 days to go. Oh, Michael Bay, why do you hate my childhood? And the mudflaps are in the wrong place. From Shasta.
Dude chugging 3 beers. [WMV Video] His speed is pretty good and his endurance isn't too bad, either. He probably couldn't win Jag gift, but there ya' go. And apparently he doesn't know about plastic cups.
Hillary feels like Alfred E. Neuman is running the country. That's what actually went down. Here's the headline they ran: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton attacks President Bush, comparing him to Alfred E. Neuman Anyway, I just thought she meant based on looks, which would have been much funnier.
Check yourself before you wreck yourself...Sun Jul 10 2005
A PSA from Rachel From shasta: Don't even know how to put this one. But since its a public health announcment, I'm not even sure to mark this as NOT safe for work. If anything turn down the volume before listening to it. I'm throwing a no-desk on it, as it just appears NSFW.
If they need an expert witness, we know a fewFri Jul 8 2005
Drunk guy taken into custody on private property fighting it. Maine represent. Also, Waltham, MA, to a lesser extent. This one's from Rollins, who also came up with the tag line. Well said. If only they needed some help determining what 'Walking the Dog' is...
You know, I almost went this way. I mean, I wound up just going with the old-fashioned nice dinner followed up by getting down on one knee. But this was option number two on the list, really.
Pope may be on the fast track to sainthood. Boot sent this in and summarized it thusly: Church Loophole -- If he's labelled a martyr, he doesn't have to perform a miracle after he's been dead.
M’Mburugu had a machete in one hand but dropped that to thrust his fist down the leopard’s mouth. He gradually managed to pull out the animal’s tongue, leaving it in its death-throes.
...Women 24 and older ARE already on a steady decline of attractiveness. I am not sure what disturbs me more about this article, the 18 year olds trying to "land" 40 yr old men or the fact that they have gotten into Bungalow 8 and I have not. It's a close call....
Sewiouswy. Tell me Rove doesn't look like Vader when they pulled off his beautiful, black visage to reveal a feeble, crusty white man (Thanks, Kev). Also, he has no discernable neck or chin. Which kind of creeps me out.
David Hasselhoff remakes "Hooked on a Feeling" From will, who adds I dunno... you write the description... i'm speechless. That about says it. I could swear I have posted this before, but the search is giving me no love.
From boot: Lions chased away kidnappers and held a vigil over a victim until authorities arrived, and then just walked back into the forrest.
Interesting note from this article -- The United Nations estimates that more than 70 percent of marriages in Ethiopia are by abduction, practiced in rural areas where the majority of the country's 71 million people live. Which has got to make romantic comedies tough. And I have no clue about the pope thing. -ed
Time to Rethink the Initiation RitualMon Jun 20 2005
Teenager Rapes Dog. Then the dog dies two weeks later. However, I think the worst part is that it also mentions that he rapes two little girls as well, but the story is focused only on the canine offense. This is stolen from that Report by that guy no one likes. All from jm.
Oof sent this along: Seeing as everyone had so much fun with the telescoping game, here is the latest dyson game.
I lost interest after level 7 or so. So here's the original awesome game. Say goodbye to your morning. Be sure to play 'additional levels' once you finish the first 15. -ed.
Seat 29E complains. [PDF] Got this from LMC, JT, and Bob. I'd like to take this moment to complain about the incontinent sow that woke me up so she could get by me to unload her bladder 20 mintes into a 1 hr. flight. And the douche bag that did the same thing on the previous flight. They're called aisle seats, people. Look into them. Here's the snopes write up on Seat29E. And a link to the original PDF if you want.
Aside from the fun anecdotal observations, the article claims that only one person has perfectly beaten Pac-Man, which is kinda cool. I remember that infamous pledge when people stood around and watched a first-time-drunk Kase manhandling Inky & Crew in the first few levels, but 256 levels is insane. This moment in pika history is courtesy of oof.
"Being bizarre is not a reason to keep somebody out of this country or lock them up. ... We are governed by laws and regulations, and he did not violate any regulations."
Bam Margera's ex-fiance says he boned Jessica Simpson. Call Morton and ask to borrow a giant grain from them, but there it is. A few weeks ago, I saw Pics of them in LA, which now seems to make a little more sense. If you've got a minute, listen to the phone call. And if you're wondering what the link is: one word - Knoxville. I marked it No desks because the rest of the site is a little off-color.
Negatives :- 1)Visiting the toilet is NOT at all pleasant 2)The hunger pangs, they only come once or twice a day, last two hours, but it's extreme hunger. 3)You urine resembles Irn Bru
"It's clear that the mother knew what was going on," Pirro said, adding that when the girls talked about having sex, the mother allegedly said, "What happens in White Plains stays in White Plains,"
Rather than just steal most of the links, I thought I'd point people over to Hedonistica.com. Of note today: Goodbye Bitch site, Batman Begins 10 minute trailer, Segway Centaur video, fake U2 concert, and the Tourist photos.
Santorum loves puppies. The bill he introduced should help stop puppy mills. Which is a Good Thing. I can't help but wonder if there will be an ammendment that says everyone has to go through airport security buck naked. 'Cause if you vote against it, you hate puppies. Puppy hater!!
Oof this in: Seriously, this obesity stuff is getting out of hand. This guy had to get a ginormous coffin made. I wonder if he had to buy a double-wide grave site as well.
Charlie: Eh lieutenant, what were you doing there? Goose: Communicating. Maverick: Communicating. Keeping up foriegn relations. You know, giving him the bird!
Even the noblest of intents can turn to debauchery.Tue May 17 2005
All from oof: This just doesn't seem like a good idea. It seems that by taking this herb one begins to feel the affects of alcohol quicker. I can't even begin to list the types of abuse this allows. Boot and derek both sent this in as well.
The most photographed squirrel in the world. If feel for this furry rat. I really do. I think his 'Mom' needs a mental checkup. Thanks to Dave R and Dave Barry's blog for this one.
Paris Hilton disobeys the laws of grammar. Twice. On the same shirt. What an idiot. And if we didn't have previous evidence that she's dumb as a post, I might think she was being ironical. Update This may be the worst tag line I've ever come up with. I suck. That is all.
"Bermuda shorts and boat shoes with no socks. Who does that?
Today, the violators are more likely to be women wearing clothes that show too much skin, leave too little to the imagination and scream 'I'd rather be clubbing!'" I need to work there...
from hendrix: I would also add that this statement - Women in all professions should know they're not advancing their careers when they wear revealing clothing. is not always true.
If you listen to Howard Stern, you've heard them...over and over and over. Hilarious. Oh, and he got interviewed by Dr. Phil tonight on prime time tv. What a douche...
Most of the cases were reported by veterinarians and police after 2000, the study said. But it was not clear if sex with animals had become more common or if people had become more likely to report it, it said.
so in a way, it's kinda like kids who had sex with Michael Jackson...
"I thought it was candy because they put candy in your ice cream ... to make it a treat. So I said, 'OK, well, I'll just put it in my mouth and get the ice cream off of it and see what it is.'"
Oof sent this: A British magazine recently ranked the 50 best restaurants in the world. To no surprise the several London eateries rank in the top; I have even eaten at #5. Of course, I can't help but notice the glaring omission of Chez Tom aka PiKA. Be sure to click the pop-up link to see the full list.
It's not just the South that is backwards...Fri Apr 29 2005
From Oof: A Norwegian woman was recently convicted of rape. Unfortunately, the blurp does not offer more info about their relationship. Cause if this was just a random hook up I don't see what is so bad, and if this was two people in a relationship I don't see what is so bad. I wonder if this has ever happened in the US?
Providence cop killer. With gnarly pic. Ryan sent this one. Does anyone know what that thing is? Is it a Hannibal Lecter thing to keep him from biting? And can we just go ahead and execute this human garbage? Please?
So the Chinese government is set to sponsor one of Europe grandest soccer teams. Basically, the Chinese government wants to advertise for the 2008 Olympics on Spanish soccer shirts. I realize that US Postal Service has been a long time sponsor of cycling, and specifically Lance Armstrong. This new action is just wrong.
Actually, Discovery has taken over for USPS this year, due to annoying questions like 'Why is the government advertising?' -ed.
Crazy homepage for a sexy guy. Jeremy H sent this one to me, and couldn't tell if it was for real. I think it maybe was at one point, but the domain is gone and it's been picked up as part of a larger web-design firm. Anyway, it's awesome. Be sure to check out the videos of Pick-Up-A-Chick.
You are scaring the crap out of me. While making me question reality. And be afraid. 4MB Flash video. This is more on the derek/will end of the humor interesting-weird-crap-on-the-web spectrum.
Adding to the list of people I don't understand.Thu Apr 21 2005
Why people buy $500 jeans and what you get. They're pants. Made out of denim. Unless they're coated in Goretex, this is just dumb. Of course, this is coming from a guy with a $500 snowboard. Priorities.
Don't Nobody Touch a Black Man's RadioTue Apr 19 2005
Chris Tucker busted for doing 109. He was in his new Bentley, if that helps. As someone on Fark said 'Do you understand the Miranda rights comin' out of my mouth?' JT sent this along.
Crazy videos. There are a ton of videos involving just about any kind of trick/wreck you can imagine, focused mainly on motorcycles. Ryan, I recommend the Frenchman on a bike. Mayes, have a look at the rollerblader. Philippe, check out the X5 recovery. Some of these are pretty gnarly, just as a heads up.
It's not just the wrong side of the street anymore...Mon Apr 18 2005
While living there I discovered some of the backwards ways of our ancestors, but this is incredulous. Damn hippies. Oof sent along this well-formatted entry.
randomly-generated CS articles for technical journals. spits out somewhat readable garbage that sounds like a real paper. one was accepted for presentation to a conference and authors are planning to present. the kids at MIT apparently have too much time on their hands.
Camel jockies replaced by robots. Once again, robots save the world, and by world i mean 4 year olds racing on camel back. Thanks to Jay Park, aka Ron Mexico for this one.
Wendy's chilli finger lady sues everybody. She's got a history of lawsuits against anybody and everybody. In other news, the #6 combo is still delicious. Follows up on this. Got it from the Fark.
My husband's not a violent person. He's been in the United States for 24 years and he's never been in trouble," Lisa Riojas told WJXT-TV of Jacksonville.
NCSU election results video. From Fark via JT Fast Forward to about 6/10ths (or 3/5ths, for you reducers out there -ed.) of the way through to hear 'The Pirate Captain' basically win the election for student body president at NC State.
Also listen for cronie comments like "We got 44%, YEEARGH!", "Long live the captain" (chorus of cheers), and "Ye ship set sail, YEEARGH!"
Following on from CBS's movie-of-the-week, Sping Break Shark Attack, it seems as if real sharks are congregating and copying their digital, small screen brothers. Click on the picture it is pretty crazy. Update Oof sent this one in. I robbed him of credit. Sorry oof.
Wasn't Daylight a bad Stallone movie?Thu Apr 7 2005
This one's from oof: Ed Markey of Massachuesetts asserts that daylight saves energy. And now he is working to get his Congressional colleagues to agree, and change daylight savings time. I just laughed when he was quoting as saying, "The more daylight we have, the less electricity we use." - as if some Congressional action can change when the sun rises. And Daylight was an excellent movie, especially when they go shooting out of the tunnel at the end.
Body Suspension convention coverage from Providence RI. If you are squeamish, DO NOT CLICK THROUGH. Seriously. I don't want to be responsible for you depositing your lung butter on your computer. If you're really sacked up, though, check out the photo gallery. Yow. I marked this No Desks just to make sure there were no accidental clicks.
Death Clock.com When will you die? From Jay Park, who adds i will die on sunday, January 31st, 2066 BHendrix will be outta here on Sunday, July 2, 2051.
Credit card prank Seems strangely like Monzy's writing style. Pretty funny. The last part is a bit of a dick move, but there it is. Thanks to Jay Park for this one.
Marissa (Ms. 2:06.71) is sending out this plea, so listen up:
The only tape I have of buggy is of hills 1, 2 and 5 from 2000. I am looking for a copy of the lead truck and follow truck footage of all the races for 2000 and/or '99. A copy of either psych tape would be a great bonus. If someone can get me this and give it to me at carnival I would be very grateful and will reimburse the person the cost of the copy. -Marissa
I would also be interested in this stuff, if you've got it. - ed.
I'd like to order chili con finger.Thu Mar 24 2005
Finger found in Wendy's chilli. Arjen sent this in along with the tag line. Jeremy H also sent it in with "You want fingers with that?". My comment about Radiohead laughing at Scott Tinneman would be a distant 3rd.
All from boot: On the advice of an 'advisor' a gullible zimbabwe-an woman pays to have 5 'mermaids' flown from London and put up in a fancy hotel to help recover her stolen car and thousands of dollars.
novelty sized everything. From derek, who adds because if its not big enough to put on your head like a hat, its not really a martini glass The number of puns on the site may make your brian hurt.
Farting Fish Fingered Scientists figured out that herring pass gass to stay together. From Brick.
Sex Doll sparks bomb alert at post office. Not quite the old 'Brian left a walkman in his locker and caused a bomb scare', but a good one nonetheless. Thanks to Arjen for this one.
Excellent upcoming programming from Sci-Fi. This titan of programming has got quite a lineup of stuff. Ever since I saw 'Cube', I can't wait for Cube 2. This one's from Rollins, who adds I, for one, have already set the Tivo for Corin Nemec in "Mansquito". I guess Parker Lewis really can't lose.
Video of a giant wedgie. They didn't hang him by a door, but man, this is ruthless. Thanks to JT for this one. In related news, wedgie was added to Webster's.
Bunion pictures. From someone who (maybe wisely) didn't claim credit - This is so so gross. In fact, don't even look at it. And you thought podiatry was so glamorous.
An actual liger. I post this because someone wrote into Newsweek last week to ask 'Do ligers exist?' and they answered very seriously and with no Napoleon Dynamite references. It was surreal. Anyway, there are also 'tigons'. The first animal is the father, so a liger has a lion for a dad and a tiger for a mom.
There is nothing funnier than people getting hurt...Thu Mar 10 2005
Just watch it and wait for the donkey noises. Miolla sent this entire thing in along with It might win Best Screenplay at next years Oscars. Ow. Update rcr sent this in a while ago, and I forgot.
17 Year Old sends assholes semen frosted brownies. If he had paid a little more attention to Van Wilder, he would know he should have used his dog. He could be in detention for up to nine months, which seems a bit harsh. Thanks to AC for this one.
Video of guys doing the robot. The first guy is pretty good, but the guy in orange is amazing. With the advent of one Napoleon Dynamite, naj forwarded it to me, adding Why does this make me think of Art? I posted this a long time ago, but it's worth another look.
Norwegian Tank units having a bad week. So with the French as nonviolent as your usual Holiday patrons, and the Swiss as noncommittal as Rick Simmons, it is a good thing at least one European nation isn't afraid to mimmick a Bruckheimer movie. Thanks to oof for the whole write-up... all three submissions worth.
"My head hurt a bit, but I was convinced that it was from the fall. There was a small gash on the side of my head near my ear, but I thought it would soon heal and did not make much of it. I put a plaster on it and left it."
CMU Boobs Now Playing on CollegeHumor.comSun Mar 6 2005
Boobs from CMU... Need I say more? I was just surprised that the prudes from CMU final ponied up a Ho to get naked for CH.com. In fact, I was more surprised that she went for full frontal. This makes me wonder if she is from Central Michigan University. But for now we'll just assume that CMU is awesome for finding a cick to get naked. This whole thing from Miolla. See the desk. Naked chick behind link.
Being unclean as a reason for divorce... I think I was on a plane with this guy last weekend. Thanks to yourmom for this one. An Iranian woman has requested a divorce from her husband on the grounds that he has not washed for more than a year.
Scientists come up with 'cloaking' device. Or invisibility shield, or whatever. It's a little scarce on details, but interesting nonetheless. Thanks to oof for this one.
A report in the journal Nature reveals that the new system is far more ambitious, being both self-contained and reducing visibility from all angles. In this sense it would be more like the shields used by the Romulans in the Star Trek episode Balance of Terror which hid their spaceship at the touch of a button.
Another group calling itself People For Eating Tasty Animals reportedly offered Wholey a hefty price for the lobster. At Tuesday's price of $14.98 a pound, Bubba would retail for about $350.
Finally, you can have tasty, sizzling bacon, without all the shopping, planning, and preparation. Just schedule your appointment at baconwhores.com, and our trained experts will come and prepare bacon for you, exactly the way you like it.
At least this one wasn't in Shadyside. Thanks to JT for this one. This sums it up nicely: The girl, who, as a juvenile, was not identified by police, was wounded in the groin with a .45-caliber handgun and was taken to an undisclosed hospital.
Maine Lobster Game. It's a vending machine with the hook/claw thing, but it grabs lobsters instead. Please keep in mind that you get a Maine lobster, not that this is indiciative of Maine in general.
The 38 States. Interesting suggestion for re-drawing the US Map. I can see a few problems already, such as Madison, WI's reluctance to be included in a state with Milwaukee, Chicago, and Gary, IN. Also, "Don't mess with Alamo" doesn't have the same ring. Anyway, something a little different on a boring Monday night.
So the initial draft of this dissappeared, so check http://drudgereport.com/flash3ph.htm. Someone hacked Paris' Sidekick. Check here for links to everything that was on it (pictures, emails, notes, phone numbers) along with some crank calls. The second link is NOT safe for work. Thanks to Cpt. Park for at least one of those, and no thanks to Brian's "draft" function, which makes things disappear.
A friend of a friend lost their cat (yes, that's gay) but they're probably going to replace the cat with one of these. If hell froze over and I got a cat, this would definitely be the one. Thank to miolla for this one.
snow tow video You can probably see where it's going right off the bat, but enjoy the ride. And be glad it's not you. Thanks to longtime lurker Marissa for this one.
i just played dodgeball in gym classWed Feb 9 2005
Teacher nails 13 yr. old student. Tag line and link are from bob, who adds i remember the last teacher that did this was busted, but this one... wow. to be 13 again....
Insane breakdance video. From Jay Park. I haven't watched it, so you're on your own. I just hope it's better than those m:robe commercials from last night.
Tara Reid wants a regular boyfriend. From s, who adds She'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars. Or for free if you get married to her. Hey, you could even get settlement money if you get divorced! So maybe its more like: She'll suck your cock and then pay you a million dollars... In case you were wondering, it's been three whole months since the 'boob-falling-out-of-the-dress incident.
Michael Warner, a 58-year-old machine shop owner, had a long history of alcoholism, but couldn't ingest alcohol by mouth because of painful medical problems with his throat, said Lake Jackson police detective Robert Turner. The enema was a way he could become intoxicated without drinking alcohol, Turner said.
"I heard of this kind of thing in mortuary school in 1970, but this is the first time I've ever heard of someone actually doing it," Turner said.
He said: "From what I understand, it's a lifetime achievement award, which is completely and utterly surreal, considering I'm 30 years old.
What he meant to say: "From what I understand, which isn't too much, it's a lifetime achievement award, which is completely and utterly f*cked, considering I'm 30 years old and look like I'm 15. I'd love to know what those Californian Film Festival judges are smokin' because I want some."
Girl thrown through basket. Dude, it's nuts. I can't believe they put her through that. Goes to show you that you can get a girl to do anything, unless you're rick. Thanks to jm, by way of Berlin for all of this. It's the intro video from this post. I enjoy the way the guys are celebrating while the girl nurses her concussion.
Why don't more companies glom onto the whole '2 months salary' thing? Everyone knows that's how much a wedding ring is supposed to cost, although they should really just measure up the dude's dick and devise a formula that involves the constant ct./in^3. and cut out the middle man, but I digress. If TV makers were like, oh yea, you should spend 2 months salary, 3 if you watch a lot of sports, that would have to go over. Or furniture makers could be like, a couch should cost one month's salary. Anyway, feel free to take this and use it for the forces of good. They could even phrase it like 'well, that's the bare minimum we recommend'.
It came to my attention this weekend (though not anecdotally) that 'only 20% of people have sex on their wedding night'. So, through a bit of sleuthing, it seems that 30% of people don't have sex on their wedding night. While this is a little better, I just can't understand the logic of not getting it on on the first day EVER that every person on earth, up to and including your parents and the pope, says it's cool to get it on. Anyway, just something to keep in mind for those of you planning your big day (and night).
Bigot that called SpongeBob gay says he didn't. He did say there's a sinister pro-homosexual conspiracy behind the video that features cartoon characters singing 'We are family'. Includes obligatory biblical quotes with verse number. Ryan, can you add this guy to the beat-down list?
So in trying to find out why he's Dr Dobson, I came across this:
Although Dobson professes to be a Christian, he continually denies Jesus Christ by adding to His Word the philosophy and false teaching of the world. He, thus, is a type of Antichrist (2 John 7). He transgresses and abides not in the doctrine of Christ. Therefore, the Scripture says he hath not God (2 John 9), and those who bid him well, support him, or sponsor him are partakers of his evil deeds (2 John 11).
1. "gank" is to steal or take without permission. Same as "jack" and used the same way. "He ganked that hat from da mall." Thanks to jm for this whole thing as well.
Massive cow shit fire rages in Nebraska.UpdateMs. Pino (sorry) sent this one in, adding "those vegetarians certainly do have a point If by 'point' you mean smelly farts, then yes, they do.
Pittsburgh drive-through strip club on eBay. This one's from naj, who sums it up thusly - All of my life was spent leading up to this point. i have realized why i was put on this earth.
New Yorkers enjoy the hooch.Neighborhoods with particularly high rates of excessive drinking include all neighborhoods below 96th Street in Manhattan; Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, and Maspeth in Queens; Brooklyn Heights, Fort Greene and Park Slope in Brooklyn; and northern Staten Island.

Beer fights cancer. Aside from the Modern Drunkard crew, this crew is gonna live longer than anyone. Not sure how valid this study is, but who am I to argue with science? Thanks to brother Bharath for this one.
Ali G escapes potential riot at a rodeo. After telling the crowd he supported America’s war on terrorism, he said, “I hope you kill every man, woman and child in Iraq, down to the lizards ... And may George W. Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq.” He then sang a garbled version of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Thanks to derek for this one.
Ebay Mugging Sale : Any and all monies collected from the sale of this shirt go towards alcohol and the security deposit on my next apartment. Thanks to Philippe for this one. Note: I don't know this person.
Another struggle took place and Monti was knocked to the floor, from where she pulled down Mr Jones's shorts. Monti initially tried to hide the testicle by putting it in her mouth, but released it.
Give us the blow-by-blow. I threw my phone from 10 feet outside the store and it drilled the guy behind the desk right in the shoulder. Hard. Then boom, I just lost it.
I understand you removed your shirt for maximum destruction? Yeah. That's when the employees locked themselves in an office. The 25 or so customers scattered.
Jeff Garcia's girlfriend beat up his ex-girlfriend. Oh yea, and his current girlfriend is playmate of the year. Two of Hine's friends testified they saw DeCesare (current JG Girlfriend) grab a dance pole for support and karate-kick Hine in the head. Capital C Capital F Cat Fight. Campen sent this one in.
Manuary - a chick's search to get laid this month. Linked from cruel.com. It seems sort of fake-ish due to the sponsor links, but it's entertaining nonetheless. Definitely not safe for work if you're concerned about language.
I've decided to rename January 2005 Manuary 2005 because I am going to spend as much of it as possible under, on top of and next to men.
A Deer loses a car collision. This is not for the faint of heart, those who like deer, or those who have eaten in the past hour. I just can't believe how the blood got all the way to the back. Thanks to Mr. Rollins for this one.
Canadian dude goes toe to toe with a wolf. And wins. Includes pic of the burises the wolf left. Okay, so this guy decided to run the 3 km back to camp from his shift at the uranium mine. I'd say the wolf can't pick 'em. Thanks to oof for this one. And somebody call Maddox.
When his chance came again, Desjarlais made good. He locked onto the wolf's back and threw his arms around the animal's head, putting it into a headlock.
Somewhere on sportsillustrated.com I came to a link for this http://www.perry-tales.com/ Steve Perry (of the musical "group" Journey) fan fiction. I was looking for a witty title for this, but instead I found this: The Journey Atari Game. Here's where an "Ultra stupid" Category would be useful. Thanks to Derek for all of this.
9. Some pigeons follow roads and turn off at motorway junctions to navigate their way round. 38. Yoda was based on Albert Einstein. 43. In 1911, Pablo Picasso was one of the suspects arrested for the theft of the Mona Lisa. 74. Lasagne has replaced chicken tikka massala as the favourite dish of Britons. Sainsbury's sold 13.9 million lasagne ready meals and just 7.4 million chicken tikka massalas last year. Tesco sold 9.8 million lasagnes and 6.3 million chicken tikka massalas. 96. One in four 16- and 17-year-old girls in the UK is on the contraceptive pill - more than ever before.
Brian Berg - Card Stacker. He holds the Guiness record for tallest free-standing card tower - over 25 ft. Be sure to check out the gallery. Hope his dog tiger doesn't knock him over from behind. That would be some crazy hijinks.
hese slippers are soft and Hygienic; Non-slip grip strips on the soles; Built in deodorant feature keeps feet smelling fresh; No more bending over to mop up spills; Disposable and biodegradable; Environmentally safe
Giant Shark tows boat for an hour. Drowns. This is almost too crazy to be true, but I've seen it elsewhere. The Red Bull Icebreaker is a surfing challenge, BTW. Thanks to Oof for this.
This is the photo CNN is running for a 'crowd reaction shot' to the Scott Peterson death sentence. Anyone notice the wierd part? Yea. That guy in the front is wearing a Livestrong bracelet.
Brits make nativity featuring Beckham and Posh Spice. Ms. Minogue is an angel. It's all in wax. This is from Oof, who points out the best line - God is not going to worry. He is going to cope -- but it is a bit depressing.
Glow Thong.com It's a thong made of those necklaces you get at fairs, etc. that glow. Freaky. Thanks to Najeh Davenport for this one. Not Safe For Work.
A C-5 with a cargo load of 270,000 pounds (122,472 kilograms) can fly 2,150 nautical miles, offload, and fly to a second base 500 nautical miles away from the original destination -- all without aerial refueling. With aerial refueling, the aircraft's range is limited only by crew endurance.
Super Hero Unitards. Jacques sent this in, along with an admonishment to also visit the 'active bottoms' section as well as the, and Shek, Blum, I'm looking in your direction, 'wrestling outfits'. Happy freakin' Friday.
Wean Hall is sorry. Scroll down a bit. I'm not sure if they're talking about the election or the architectural abomination aspect, but there ya go. Thanks to Bricker for this one as well. And in related ryan/jb pissing off news, apologies accepted.com.
The idea came last year while viewing another Web site on which cameras posted in the wild are used to snap photos of animals.
"We were looking at a beautiful white-tail buck and my friend said, 'If you just had a gun for that.' A little lightbulb went off in my head," Underwood said. Thanks to Bharath for this one.
Three people got Fox a $1.2 million fine. Some Fox show called 'Married by America' got this fine because of suggestive material. The FCC said it got 159 complaints. In fact, it got 90. And those 90 came from 23 people. And all but 3 of those people were just sending copies of the letter from others. What is going on?
Olney, IL's white squirrels They're kind of freaky and kind of cute. And they really like corn. I used to live there, and just stumbled upon this, so here it is.
Soccer is changing the US for the better. Man, this guy really has it in for the States. Calling praying people a 'freak show' isn't cool any way you slice it. And soccer's growth is great, but I doubt the NFL and MLB are going anywhere anytime soon. It would be like saying the X-Games are going to eliminate the NBA because towns keep building skate parks. Thanks to JT for this one.
Pharmacists refusing to fulfill birth control prescriptions. Jesus Fucking Christ you god damned morons. Take your moral objections and shove them up your fucking corn holes and do your fucking job. If you don't like it, get the fuck out and let someone with two brain cells do it. First the morning after pill and now this? Lemme guess. They still fill viagra prescriptions, though, right? ARRRRRGGG!! If you live in one of the states talking about supporting these ass clowns with legislation, call your local representative.
What, like the back of a Volkswagen?Mon Oct 25 2004
Man fined for putting Shetland pony in a hatchback. While cruelty to animals (well, cute, furry ones anyway) isn't funny, I would really like to see a picture. Thanks to Bricker for this one, who adds Honestly... It's a Shetland... he likes being stuffed back there...
Unlike hot chocolate, which is made from cocoa powder, Chantico is steamed with cocoa butter and whole milk. It's no diet drink: A 6-ounce cup has 390 calories, 21 grams of fat and 51 carbs.
Nine times out of ten, it's an electric razor. One out of ten, it's a dildo. Sometimes it's even a *man*. It's airline policy not to imply ownership in the event of a dildo. We gotta se the indefinite article: "*A* dildo". Never *Your* dildo".
"You can't screw with a legend like that and get away with it," said Frank Kelly Rich, editor of Modern Drunkard magazine. "I'm sure Jack is spinning in his grave."
Worst Jobs in history. Such winners as King's ass wiper (no TP) and Roman gold miner. I got a 90 on the quiz. Re-armoring knights in battle, here I come.
When I amputated, I felt every bit of it. It hurt to break the bone, and it certainly hurt to cut the nerve. But cutting the muscle was not as bad. Overall, it was a hundred times worse than any pain I've felt before. It recalibrated what I'd understood pain to be. At the same time, it was also the most beautiful thing I've ever felt.
Dude grows jaw on his back using stem cells. His first meal was a brat - bu no word on the cheeziness of it. Thanks to Burch and Eisemann. Brian sent in the excellent South Park snippet as well:
Larry King: "I'm here with Christopher Reeves who is a strong advocate of stem cell research and is here to demonstrate it's importance." Christopher Reeves: "It is quite important and I'll show you how. You see Larry, I take this fetus and suck out it's stem cells." LK: "How interesting." CR: "Yeah, now I can move this arm." LK: "Amazing!"
Bees go crazy in LA. I like the fact that the reporter got bit. No word yet on how Oof is reacting to the decimation of his plan to take over the valley. Thanks to Arjen for this one.
State of the GED. The article is sort of interesting, but the stat that caught my eye was the statewide percentage of people who don't have high school diplomas. Over 25% in Mississippi, Kentucky, and Louisianna. That's one in 4. What is going on?
Bikini Bounce.com I'm assuming this isn't safe for work, but there ya' go. Thanks to Eugene (who I'm assuming is really excited about the new iPods) for this one.
Bobby Fischer was detained in Japan yesterday. Does anybody know why a chess match would be prohibited under any sort of sanctions? I'm a little confused. If they photograph him, I'd love to see the pic.
CNET editor says he can drive, talk, e-mail and eat just fine, thanks. As I sit here in an airport wanting to track down everyone responsible for making cell phones a reality, I'm calling bullshit on this assclown and his studies. I'd challenge him to go out on a bicycle sometime. I'm not even talking in traffic. I'm talking somewhere *near* cars. You'll start fearing for your life within 5 minutes, much less actually being in traffic with a Soccer mom in her excursion with the 19 spawn in the back. I gaurantee you, whatever you're talking about in the car can wait. It did 5 years ago. And while I'm at it, no one in the airport wants to hear how important you are, even if you were denied your upgrade. I think I'm gonna make a shirt - Hang Up and Shut Up. Ah well.
Prickly Pear can end your prickly morning. It can help hangovers. I'd like to see a Chaser/Pear face-off. Coordinating taking it 5 hours before drinking would require math, which is hard. Thanks to Eugene for this one.
Origami Godzilla Make and collect them all! I'm making Mothra! Oh, our Japanese penis so small. You American penis so, so big. We no pleasure women at all. You, much pleasure. Thanks to DP, Matt & Trey for this one.
Truck overturns with bees. Can you imagine if this happened in Manhattan? You thought MaCaulay Culkin got it bad in 'My Girl'. Thanks to Andy for the last part there and the link. Thanks to Arjen for the link as well. Dogs, with bees in their mouths, and when they bark, they shoot bees?
Origin of Wings. A somewhat interesting article and timeline. However, it made link status because it explains where the 3 in BW3 comes from. The third W is for 'Weck', which best I can figure, is a bunch of Kaiser Rolls with a water-conrstarch mixture over top and then sprinkled with caraway seeds and pretzel salt. Then you cook it 'till they get crunchy. Almost like a pretzel, I guess. They dropped the third W but kept the acronym.
Eagle snatches a Bear cub. If only they had a video... Reminds me of some special I was watching where a large bird would pick up turtles and then fly really far up and drop them on a large, flat rock to crack the shell.
School re-naming for cash. I for one, hope this trend doesn't make its way to professional sporting arenas and stadiums. What a sad day that would be. Thanks to Sperl for this one.
Food addiction is real. They starved people (most likely fat) for a day and then measured their bodies reaction to a cotton swab "IMPREGNATED" with their favorite food. The subjects reaction was similar to that of a coke head when he gets a whiff of blow. Thanks to sperl for the link and setup.
How to be on 'Cribs'. A little rough language, but really funny. The best ones are definitely the ones where the person breaks as many of these as possible. See: Red Man's place and Stiffler's crib. They also forgot the mandatory Scarface poster / DVD box set and bottle of Krys.
Man survives 36 hours on freeway with broken neck. No one had stopped, unfortunately. I would make a reference to Mustaffah from Austin Powers, but that would be inappropriate. Thanks to That Guy for this one.
Photo journal of Chernobyl. This woman rode her motorcycle through the region. It's one of the creepiest things you'll ever see. I forgot to thank Pro for this one. Thanks Pro.
CMU ATM crashes and reboots to WinXP. Of course there were pictures and hacks. Not great ones, but with no keyboard and no internet, a good time was had by all. Thanks to Diebold for making this and the electronic voting machines to be used in the upcoming election.
Polish nun drunk driving - on a tractor. Sometimes the jokes can't possibly beat the headlines. She was seventeen (17) times the legal limit. Thanks to Philippe for this one.
Guy asks 11 year old to drive. I appreciate the thought, but taking a kid to a bar and then asking him to drive 200 miles is a bit much. Thanks to threatening Steve for this one.
Trojan Games I These are some definitely NOT safe for work movies that are pretty funny. Another one.Last One. Thanks to Philippe for these. They go along with the one Arjen sent a while ago.
Trepanation means cutting a hole in your skull. This guy decided to do it at home, you know, to increase his conciousness. Also on this site, castration gone awry. Yes, people are cutting their balls off voluntarily for non-operatic reasons. When you're done with that, check out the home page. And if you haven't lost your lunch, check out The Lizardman. Proving once again that split tongues can move independantly.
Dating site for people who like Ayn Rand books. It's called the Atlasphere, which was also the name of that game on American Gladiators. I'm not gonna join, but man, this would be one weird-ass get-together.
Get a tattoo and be part of a story. From Burch - The thin line between art and shit just being fucking stupid. My cousin’s word is “leaves”. She got it on her foot. I feel sorry for the people with the words “the” and “a”.
Finnish Shouters doing pretty well. "because such antics create a form of absurdity which we find works the best." Sounds like some people I know. Thanks to Dave H. by way of That Guy.
Christian Nudist colony to open. Apparently JC was a fun of doin stuff in the buff. Rock out with your cock out. Thanks to Arjen for this one. I believe he said he was going to join. Not sure, though.
Potato Computer lacks math coprocessor. I'm assuming this is fraud. If you ever hunt down Evan R., be sure to ask him about all the stupid stuff people returned to the Wal-Mart electronics section. Pure comedy. Thanks to That guy for this one.
Stuff you don't want to see out of an airliner window. Ummm, yea. If I saw this thing, the last thing I would think to do would be take a picture. So props to that guy. And props to Philippe the High Roller for the pic.
I found this post by an Anonymous Coward under the Apple news discussion. I'm still laughing, which is making it hard to type. Click ahead for the vulgarity.
"I will not be buying any Apple hardware or software you fucking cocksuckers. You can take that IPod and IRamItUpYourAss. OS X can OSuck my dick. I will take a G4 PowerDump on your PowerBook. QuickTime can QuickBlowMe. iTunes, more like shiteTunes. Expose? I'll Expose my fucking nuts to your chin.
I will be using Linux, XFree86, and Gnome. You Apple cockgobblers can keep taking it up the ass from Panther, or whatever new animal you like beastial anal sex with. Penguins never rape anyone, although they bite if they have to.
Apple is just another company that wishes they were Microsoft, so they can ass-ream you repeatedly with ease. If they had the market share that Microsoft had, they would be ass-fucking you harder and faster than Microsoft is. They already have a small group of willing homosexuals that let them do this to them already. But its not enough. What they want is the whole world to be forced to bend over and take a huge titanium iCock up their rectums."
Winamp 5 out now. Winamp 3 blew the llama's balls. Winamp 2 is awesome. Winamp 5 is all that was good about 2 + all that was good about 3. Yea. Go download it.
Engrish.com Because making fun of speech impediments is always funny. Of particular note is this shirt. Thanks to Marendrix.com on bhendrix.com for this one.
Spreading Santorum.com Ummm, yea. This is probably the grossest thing you're gonna hear about for a while. Dan Savage has a really funny write-in advice column, and that's where it all began. You heard it here first. Probably not a great idea for work.
Male enlargement ads prompt spam rage I particularly like the allusion to this image - "torture him with a power drill and ice pick". Thanks to Shek for this one.
To the right is Matt Blum, Chicago resident, toy designer, all around good guy. Bhendrix.com is proud to present the following movies of Matt RIDING A MECHANICAL BULL. You're welcome.
McJob is here to stay Along with McMansion and a million other stupid variations. Today's challenge: Come up with a clever variation. I'm going with McMick - the Irish guy that works at McDonald's. And before you pull out the insensitive clod remarks, I'm part Irish. Thanks to JT for this brain buster.
Dad arrested over trick-or-treat rage "He then tossed a small pumpkin through a window, threw another pumpkin at the front door and smashed a bird feeder standing in the front yard, the newspaper reported." As Jim points out, why the bird feeder? What did the birds do to that guy? Thanks Jim.
BBC Beer mat flipping 'perfected' By 'beer mat' they mean coaster. Those crazy Brits. And yes, this brings the tally of British stories on the site to somewhere close to 4,528.
Rumsfield doesn't know what mojo is So he couldn't have lost it. It's even stranger that none of his staffers knew. But give him a break - he is in his early 70's.
eBay will sell anything. I can't believe that fellow Maine-iacs would do this to each other. Remember Alf? Well he's back. In POG form. Thanks to DTsperl for this one.
Get Offended.com list of uh, stuff Probably not a good thing to read at work, but the One-Eyed Pirate is worth the price of admission. Don't click through if you are easily offended.
Hand Sportz - X-treme Hand tricks If you know me, you've probably had the misfortune of watching me spin my pen until you want to puke. And now there's a web site for it. And other crazy tricks. Awesome.
Farting Dog toy confuses airport security Between this and the kid that put all the 'weapons' on the Southwest flights, it's really been an excellent week for the airport security industry.
Bus Tips over - in Bus Cam This is so... disturbing. Reminds me of the rocket sled footage they used to show in physics class where they guy's face would completely distort due to the G loads. Thanks to Katie M. for this one.
All Look Same.com Telling the difference between the Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans is hard. Take the test. I got a 3. Yes, three. Post your score in the Comments. Thanks to Decker for this one.
Man cuts off Big Jim and the Twins for sympathy Not sure how much sympathy this would get you, but hey, you never know. Oh yea - bhendrix.com will be starting ANOTHER network - Cutoff Balls Network (CBN). Which came first, the internet, or the disconnected genitalia?
Pamela Anderson says boycott KFC Does anyone actually care? I might eat more KFC now just for the hell of it. Here's the proper chicken life cycle: Hatch. Eat. Eat. Eat. Get hacked up. Get in my belly. Where's the confusion? Make mine extra crispy.
beta-7.com This site is so bizarre I had to post it. Keep reading it - look at the FAQ and the background. And most definitely check out the videos. I know this has to be fake, but it's soooo much work to fake it all. Thanks to Sperl for this one.
Sleeping Monkey Sort of a Maddox-type site. 16 Nintendo endings are right on. Contra is probably up there as well, but the crazy helicopter flying off saves it. Thanks to JT for this one.
Monkey can control robotic arm with thoughts. This is quite simply, unbelievable. I guess it's not out of the realm of possibility, but I'm just awestruck. Thanks to David D. for this one. This reminds me of this artificial eye article as well as this guy's atrificial vision device with brain implants. And finally, this is like that scene in 'Dave' where he has the two robotic arms with the sensors on his arms and he says, "I caught a fish this big" and the arms go really, really big. And last but not least, it looks like we're not too far away from Star Ship Troopers (the crapy movie, anyway) with fully-functional bionic replacements for lost limbs.
New breast cancer prevention method introduced Some hard hitting research went into this one. Morning, nooner, and night, scientists and doctors giving their all for science. Does a heart good. Thanks to Philippe for this one.
'Honor Killing' gets life sentence. Again, I'll never understand what could be so powerful over a person that they would actually take someone else's life to follow their beliefs. At what point do you stop ignoring that little voice in your head that says 'Hey, maybe this isn't right.' Or do people like this have no voice? Or is the voice saying, 'Yea, he's Christian and he's marrying your daughter. Kill him.' And what causes THAT voice? Argh. I promise more random crap today and tomorrow.
Car Boot Cutting Man = Rock Star Guy dresses up in costume and cuts the boot off of people's cars. Gotta hand it to him for providing a public service. Thanks to Ms. Minardo for this one.
A little weird goes a long way. Hodge Podge of information including NPN going national, or at least gaining respect in Cleveland. Thanks to Fark for this one.
Russian Prison Tattoos "The tattoos are painfully applied with needles and electric shavers, using ink made from urine, soot, and shampoo. Infection from the procedure is frequent, and death not uncommon." Think you're tough? Think again. Take a look at the cathedral tat, and then contemplate how long it took to do that. Heads up - some images probably not safe for work.
| Girl, 5, makes bong in class She brought in her pimp for career day. "No man, see, you're getting air in here. You're gonna have to put some gum around the base or sumthin'." Thanks to Bob for this one.
Suicide planned for concert Suicide is illegal in all 50 states, I believe, but what're you gonna do, put someone in jail? Well, this band is planning a suicide at their next concert by a terminally ill person in order to support physician-assisted suicide. The city is working furiously to make this not legal. This is truly bizarre. Gruesome though it may be, the only way this can stand is if it goes under something like the good samaritan law (think Seinfeld). I don't think there's anything like accessory to suicide laws on the books. Thanks to Burch for this one.
Typically Amazon is pretty spot-on with their recommendations and whatnot. But this time they really outdid themselves. They've somehow data-mined my soul and uncovered my unrequited love for all things Hanna Montana. Well played Amazon.com. Well played. -hendred
