That’s no moon!

With the release of the Star Wars DVDs last week everyone has the classic films on the brain.  And what goes better with classic films than classic rock?

I don’t get it

If you want to watch the Olympics, you watch it on one of the NBC stations (which includes MSNBC).


Now, if you’re on the web and you tune to MSN Video, guess who provides the Olympic sports clips?  Fox.

It’s a weird world

I’m always amazed at how far the on-line world has come in the last ten years.


I’m even more amazed at how much I assume everyone else is amazed by that. 



  • I live in a special little world called Silicon Valley.

  • I live in a world where everyone has an e-mail address (and most have three). 

  • I live in a world where I look suspiciously at any business that doesn’t have a web site (even Internet addiction centers have web sites).

  • I live in a world where anything that can’t be Googled doesn’t exist.

  • I live in a world where most things that can be Googled still don’t exist (killed in a rocket car?  yeah, right).

  • I live in a world where WWJD stands for What Would Jobs Do?

  • I live in a world where people will buy a Mini because it’s compatible with their iPod.

  • I live in a world where a reality distortion field isn’t science fiction, it’s protected by the ADA.

  • I live in a world where the coolest computer company only has a fraction of the market and makes most of their money selling MP3 players.

  • I live in a world where a project doesn’t end when you ship, it ends when you get the T-Shirt.

Ah… paradise.

I guess Gregory Mendel wasn’t crazy

Hoo boy, I bet this crew is fun a the local neighborhood fourth of July barbecue!


Lance Champion of McMinnville, Tennessee decided to pull over a local deputy for violating the speed limit (Note: Lance isn’t a peace officer, he just plays one in his own mind).  The resultant conversation landed 23 year-old Champion in custody for disorderly conduct (um, duh!). 


Champion then did what any good local superhero would do, he called his mom.  Mom Champion next showed up at the scene with Champion’s 17 year-old brother. Jr. Champion helped the situation by slapping the hand of a police officer who was supervising the towing of Lance Champion’s car. 


Okay kids, what happens when you hit a police officer?  That’s right, you get arrested.  Having her two sons arrested was obviously tough on Mom Champion who promptly got herself cuffed for disorderly conduct as well.  Wanna go for a royal flush?


The Champion patriarch, Hal Champion, was able to return from church just in time to help diffuse the situation by showing up and (like a good Christian) through peace, love and understanding promptly get himself taken down with a taser gun and arrested.


Some people shouldn’t be allowed to breed.


Yeah, sounded crazy to me too, but it’s real and happened on Tuesday, go get the official write up at CNN.

Try this on

So, you’re sitting at home thinking… “I had a Cesarean section with my first child and that means I’ll have to have one for my second child.  I should just get a zipper installed for convenience.  But… what would that look like?”


Well, worry no longer, you can try on your own belly zipper navel piercing to be sure you like the look.

Using perpetual motion to pump water

A limitless source of power has been tapped by South Africa’s Roundabout.  They’ve created a well pump driven by a merry-go-round.  As the children play, pushing the merry-go-round, a pump pulls water up from the ground into a storage tank.


Say, that reminds me…


Emeka, the matrix has you.
