Yes, you read the title correctly. Sanio has made a case for the iPod mini.
Go look here.
After flirting with bloglines on and off for six months, I'm actually starting to use it. That's where I found the last two entries.
Okay, this is just crazy: Underwater bike ride to launch students' eight-week crime spree. Because the laws they'll be breaking are stooopid. :)
I ate at the Indian establishment next door on Friday for lunch. That was good. This is .. wrong. A couple of guys inside gave me a funny look when I took the photo. I was cracking up laughing and had to take this photo. :)
For you reader's in Florida (or are concerned about Florida), check out these two humorous Hurrican related posts:
Little Tiny Lies exclusive Hurricane tracking forecast and Babalu Blog's Plywood State. Hee hee.
Update: more at DebWire. Just click through them.
In Germany, a Condom/Rubber is a "Gummi". A bear made out of gummi's. Gummi Baerchen. Gummi Baerchen (Gummi Bears) are also a very tasty candy. Get it? Huh? huh? I think it's hysterical.
I've wanted a picture of this billboard ever since I got my digital camera, but they must have ended this particular "Don't Give AIDS a Chance" campaign shortly before. However, when we visited a very small town today to buy my new dishes direct from the factory, they still had this one up, so I made Dad pull over so I could take a picture. Got quite a few strange looks from the people in the bus passing by, but hey....I got my pic! :)
I'm looking for wav files of what an American phone sounds like when it rings - can anybody help me? I'm getting lots of sites for cellphone rings, and a couple of what the phone sounds like when you pick up the line, but none of what the phone itself sounds like when it rings.
You ask why? Because German/European phones sound different and I'm trying to explain how to my co-workers. Because my mom doesn't recognize my phone at home as ringing because it sounds so different (I have to find another ringing tone she likes).
According to this quiz (highly scientific, you know)(hat tip Neil), I'm the {que the scary music} IT Manager:
If someone doesn't know UNIX, you laugh at them. If they lose their password, you laugh at them. If they visit a website using Microsoft Internet Explorer and their computer succumbs to an Internet worm, you laugh.
You know, there is a small evil part of me where this is true. Especially the Internet Explorer part. Firefox rules!
Update: Fixed the link and added the hat tip.
I'm watching a Larry King Live Interview with George H.W. and Barbara Bush. Obviously Larry is asking them about their relationship and experiences with President Reagon. However, he just asked them a little bit about 9/11 and where were they. They were in the air actually, and had to land. Then President Bush I said "A couple hours later the President call and said "How are you Dad?". I don't know, that's just funny for me. Oddly formal, but sweet - calling your son "the President". It's true though. :)
Wow. A huge (minivan size) Yellow Jacket hive found in Central Florida.
{Shivers} Also found via Dave Barry. Bleh.
I just saw this ad on the back of Bill's Men's Life magazine. It's an ad for Kenneth Cole and shows a ruggedly cute white urban male in (presumably) one of their shirts and ties. The caption says
On average, less attractive criminals get 50% longer jail sentences.
Are you putting us on?
Are they suggesting that you'll get less jail time with their shirts and ties (and is that REALLY their target audience)? Or are they questioning the assertion that less attractive people get longer jail sentences?
What an odd ad.
From Janine's blog, I found this website called Found on the Web. Which lead me to this quirky website where a guy has hacked together a perl script to translate a phrase from English to another language and back a few times. It's quite interesting to see the results! Also quite funny! :D
I tried "I love to read". That came back as "I can read." Okay, not long enough or very interesting. Hmm.....oookay, how about a quote from American Pie? "This one time, at band camp, I stuck a flute in my p*ssy." Comes back as "A this time, to the camping of the volume... I assembled a furrow in my cat." OMG, too funny. I have to think of other phrases to translate back into English.
