Steve Stanzak had been sleeping in the basement at NYU for 8 months when school officials discovered his web log describing the experience.  The student apparently had four jobs, a scholarship and was receiving no tuition help from his parents.  The $15K scholarship would lower his tuition to around $16K a year but tack on the $7K to $17K a year for housing and he wasn’t able to make ends meet.

This story really proves how well our Universities are preparing our students for the real world.  Steve’s major?  Creative writing.  Yep, prepare to work long hours, eat out of dumpsters and live in a cardboard box dude!

As with many things in my life, I’ve mixed feelings about this one…

I’m not fond of killing animals… but blowing stuff up is cool! 

Here it is… the Rodenator.  Inspired by Caddy Shack, the inventor created a system that pumps propane and oxygen into the homes of burrowing animals… then ignites the mixture with impressive results.

Check out their videos page… then go make a donation to PETA if you feel dirty.

So, you’ve gotten tired of playing Halo…

You’ve watched all the Warthog Tossing videos…

Try this to pass the time, a flash warthog launching game.

BOOM… WHEEE!
