This kid broke into the registrar's office at American University to try and change his grades. Weird thing is that he used to rent a room from my friend. Then, a week after he tried to break into the university, he tried to break into my friend's apartment. So she's serving him with a restraining order.

Rats can laugh!

For a link to rats laughing. The evolution of laughter and where it plays into society building is pretty interesting, if anyone would like to talk about it.

"BALTIMORE - Police arrested a 7-year-old boy, handcuffed him and hauled him down to the station house on a charge of riding a motorized dirt bike on a sidewalk."

"The Police Department's zero-tolerance arrest policy - begun under former Mayor Martin O'Malley, who is now Maryland's governor - has drawn complaints that such arrests occur most often in poor, black neighborhoods. Gerard is black."

The moral of this story is, if you live in Baltimore, don't be black. It doesn't matter how old you are, they'll arrest you anyway.

This article in Wired seems like a bit of a "NO FUCKING SHIT, SHERLOCK" revelation about Chinese food.

"The battered, fried chicken dish with vegetables has 1,300 calories, 3,200 milligrams of sodium and 11 grams of saturated fat."

Normal people need about 2,000 calories per day.

I realize that the last time the greater Wasteland cilque gathered for drinking I didn't make it till the end. However, it has been a while and I think it is time for us to give excessive drinking another chance. St. Patricks day is a mere two weeks away, and I think in honor of my heritage, we should all get shit faced togther somewhere. Shoot out your ideas, and we can make this St. Patricks day a real holiday.

Check this shit out! There was a colossal squid caught the day after at a colossal squid busting 450kg.

NHS - Feb 23 2007

This cocksucker was caught two days after the other squid. 330lbs heavier.

Pretty self explanatory.

Youtube also has a Mario Brothers and a Sesame Street by the same dude.

"The squid, weighing an estimated 990 lbs and about 39 feet long, took two hours to land in Antarctic waters, New Zealand Fisheries Minister Jim Anderton said."

"If calamari rings were made from the squid they would be the size of tractor tires, he added."

Mmmm... How about giant calamari for dinner?

I had an interview for a job I realllllllly want on Friday. So here's hoping that I get final round call-back this week.

I'll tell you more about the job if I get the call back.

BRUSSELS, Jan. 26 (AP) - Rivals of Microsoft renewed their call Friday for European regulators to act against what they say are "illegal practices,"charging that the new Vista operating system is the company's effort to extend its monopoly to the Internet.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/27/technology/27vista.html?_r=1&th&emc=th&oref=slogin

Vista is coming out next week and I bet at least one of you is excited. A Norwegian news company demonstrates Windows Vista and it's swanky new features. See if you can find anything odd about the demonstration in the first few minutes of the video.

For spoilers look at the image.

Those Norse sure are smart.

Well, someone has done it. And by it I mean turn a Honda Del Sol into an X-Wing fighter, sans some wings. I wonder if R2 is going to tell him it's a little weird when he gets into the car.

So, I got an IM from Trav showing me AIM's new WeeMee character creator. It's a total rip on Nintendo's Mii thing. To be fair though it's a little better than Nintendo's IMO. To be doubly fair Nintendo could have gotten the idea from the old South Park character creator as well.

I don't know if we're supposed to call these Wees or Mees or WeeMees... however you roll, here is mine.

Make your own, I would like to see them.
Or even create a SouthPark character

Twinkling in the sky is a diamond star of 10 billion trillion trillion carats, astronomers have discovered.

The cosmic diamond is a chunk of crystallised carbon, 4,000 km across, some 50 light-years from the Earth in the constellation Centaurus.

It's the compressed heart of an old star that was once bright like our Sun but has since faded and shrunk.

This comes from ChinaRob and Something Awful. There is an obvious subliminal ad at the end of Iron Chef America. This is petty, ridiculous and just plain illegal I am pretty sure.

Let's not forget that this is Something Awful as well, and there is always a chance it's bullshit. Since I didn't see the show myself there is no telling.

Xkcd is rapidly becoming my favorite web comic. I don't know what to say about this one execpt, "damn that's funny."

Travis and I got a coupon for some movie tickets for Christmas. We went to the theater on Friday afternoon and the only thing that peaked our interest was Primeval. The TV spot for the movie reports that Jack the Ripper had 5 victims, the Zodiac Killer had 6 victims, and Gustave had over 300 victims, he still hasn't been caught.

The first scene of the movie reveals that Gustave is a crocodile, Travis and I are horrible disappointed. For some reason we stay to watch the rest of the movie, in the hopes that the movie won't be too bad. We should have left.

Oh yeah, and there was a retarded kid behind us that talked and yelled at the movie for the duration. Not to anyone specifically, just talked and yelled TO the movie.

Upon waking this morning, Travis again said, "God, that was a horrible movie."

A hilarious rant from Stephen Colbert about CES, Macworld and the Apple iPhone.

I can't tell whether this guy is the most masterful prankster of all time or a complete psychopath. It would take a genius to string together the unintelligible technobabble jargon that this guy employs.

The techs on this one are quite good, the are able to decipher some pretty arcane acronyms. They get an A+.
