What's not to love?

More to mull over and scratch your head at!

Museum of Bad Art
If you love art that should never have seen the light of day then you will love this site. Hell, if you're in Massachusetts go see the actual museum!!!

Passive Aggressive Notes
Ever wished that you could let someone know what's on your mind without the worry that they will beat you mercilessly for your opinion? Then do like the people on this site and leave a note!!! So very liberating!

People of Wal-Mart
Daily confirmation from around the country that the people you see in Wal-Mart are not as unique as you think they are. These "people" are everywhere!!!

Something to ponder

So it seems that it's business as usual with the government. There have always been double standards when it comes to politicians and John Q. Public and the healthcare reform is no different.
Here's what Mr. BHO thinks of the plan that's being stuffed down our throats:
(excerpt from a recent e-mail I received)

YESTERDAY ON "ABC-TV" (BETTER KNOWN AS THE ALL BARRACK CHANNEL) DURING THE "NETWORK SPECIAL ON HEALTH CARE".... OBAMA WAS ASKED:

"MR. PRESIDENT WILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GIVE UP YOUR CURRENT HEALTH CARE PROGRAM AND JOIN THE NEW 'UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM' THAT THE REST OF US WILL BE ON ????"..... (BET YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER)...

THERE WAS A STONEY SILENCE AS OBAMA IGNORED THE QUESTION AND CHOSE NOT TO ANSWER IT !!!...
IN ADDITION, A NUMBER OF SENATORS WERE ASKED THE SAME QUESTION AND THERE RESPONSE WAS..."WE WILL THINK ABOUT IT."
AND THEY DID. IT WAS ANNOUNCED TODAY ON THE NEWS THAT THE "KENNEDY HEALTH CARE BILL" WAS WRITTEN INTO THE NEW HEALTH CARE REFORM INITIATIVE ENSURING THAT CONGRESS WILL BE 100% EXEMPT !
SO, THIS GREAT NEW HEALTH CARE PLAN THAT IS GOOD FOR YOU AND ME.. IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR OBAMA, HIS FAMILY OR CONGRESS...??
WE (THE AMERICAN PUBLIC) NEED TO STOP THIS PROPOSED DEBACLE ASAP !!!!.... THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG !!!!!
PERSONALLY, I CAN'T ACCEPT A UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE OVERHAUL THAT DOESN'T EXTEND TO EVERYONE... JUST US LOWLY CITIZENS... WHILE THE WASHINGTON "ELITE" KEEP RIGHT ON WITH THEIR GOLD-PLATED HEALTH CARE COVERAGE

More obscurity to pass the time

Another website that helps to alleviate boredom is:

Stumbleupon.com
You just choose a topic and it finds you a site. Simple!

Gallery of the Absurd
Good site if you like sarcastic humor at the expense of Hollywood celebrities and pseudo-celebrities. It's very irreverent with some pretty funny caricatures.

I don't like you that way
A site for guys mostly, that is unless you are a girl who like to see celebrities scantilly clad!

Top 10 lists
(top 10 best unknown websites)
Here are some interesting and some useful websites and the site itself has interesting top 10 lists. Pretty cool!

Geekette Bits
(top 8 unknown websites)
Interesting site but I think the top 8 list is really good! Number one is...

Way Back Machine
It archives the internet so you can so websites that are now gone as they were in the past. Handy!

That's all for now.

Websites of interest to.......someone

The web is getting overloaded with massive amounts of fecal. There's a website for just about anything you can imagine and about a million more for things you wouldn't want to imagine! Here are a few:

Doodie.com
Like the name implies, this is a site dedicated to dookie. Poop. Crap. Lots and lots of sh*t jokes.

Don't Whack Your Boss
This is an extension of the Doodie.com site but needs to be noted itself. Sick and funny anger management shockwave flash game. Been around for awhile but still awesome. There's also...

Don't Whack Your Ex
Another anger management flash game. Fun ways to get revenge on an ex without going to jail, which is always a plus!

Fuck Yeah! Baby Animals!
Pretty self explanatory. Lots of baby animals. Needs a warning for diabetic people.

Stupid.com
Some of the strangest and dumbest things that money can buy are on this site. They have Poop Shop as a sidebar category. 'Nuff said.

I am bored.com
(do not push the red button)
This is an interesting little game for the persistent people. Irritating little button! The rest of the site has other odd stuff to amuse the bored.

Conway's Game of Life
The game of Life is an interesting little thing where you use dots to represent lifeforms that have certain restriction on how they live. Just click on the gray button to the left that says "Enjoy Life."

I'll post more sites as I come across them. Have fun!

Nuummite properties not found on net

I've had a piece of nuummite (which is an ancient stone found in Greenland estimated to be 1-3 billion years old) for awhile now and recently discovered that it has some very interesting properties. If you hold it near a strong rare earth magnet they will cling to each other but it is not attracted to steel on it's own. The really amazing thing is that the piece of nuummite has it's own polarity! When placed on a smooth surface with the magnet near by it will rotate when the magnet is rotated. It definitely has a north pole and a south pole. I've never seen this mentioned anywhere on the net, which is interesting considering how much there is on the net! I wonder if anyone else has noticed this...

Ignorance at Taco Hell

This story is fairly well known on the net but I'll reprint it here for those who haven't seen it yet. It is quite humorous! (reprinted from here)


On my way home from the second job I've taken for the extra holiday ca$h I need, I stopped at Taco Bell for a quick bite to eat. In my wallet is a $50 bill and a $2 bill. That is all of the cash I have on my person. I figure that with a $2 bill, I can get something to eat and not have to worry about people getting upset with me.

ME: "Hi, I'd like one seven layer burrito please, to go."
IT: "Is that it?"
ME: "Yep."
IT: "That'll be $1.04, eat here?"
ME: "No, it's to *go*." [I hate effort duplication.]

At his point I open my billfold and hand him the $2 bill. He looks at it kind of funny and

IT: "Uh, hang on a sec, I'll be right back."

He goes to talk to his manager, who is still within earshot. The following conversation occurs between the two of them.

IT: "Hey, you ever see a $2 bill?"
MG: "No. A what?"
IT: "A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to me."
MG: "Ask for something else, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A $2 BILL."
IT: IT: "Yeah, thought so."

He comes back to me and says

IT: "We don't take these. Do you have anything else?"
ME: "Just this fifty. You don't take $2 bills? Why?"
IT: "I don't know."
ME: "See here where it says legal tender?"
IT: "Yeah."
ME: "So, shouldn't you take it?"
IT: "Well, hang on a sec."

He goes back to his manager who is watching me like I'm going to shoplift, and

IT: "He says I have to take it."
MG: "Doesn't he have anything else?"
IT: "Yeah, a fifty. I'll get it and you can open the safe and get change."
MG: "I'M NOT OPENING THE SAFE WITH HIM IN HERE."
IT: "What should I do?"
MG: "Tell him to come back later when he has REAL money."
IT: "I can't tell him that, you tell him."
MG: "Just tell him."
IT: "No way, this is weird, I'm going in back."

The manager approaches me and says

MG: "Sorry, we don't take big bills this time of night." [it was 8pm and this particular Taco Bell is in a well lighted indoor mall with 100 other stores.]
ME: "Well, here's a two."
MG: "We don't take those either."
ME: "Why the hell not?"
MG: "I think you know why."
ME: "No really, tell me, why?"
MG: "Please leave before I call mall security."
ME: "Excuse me?"
MG: "Please leave before I call mall security."
ME: "What the hell for?"
MG: "Please, sir."
ME: "Uh, go ahead, call them."
MG: "Would you please just leave?"
ME: "No."
MG: "Fine, have it your way then."
ME: "No, that's Burger King, isn't it?"

At this point he BACKS away from me and calls mall security on the phone around the corner. I have two people STARING at me from the dining area, and I begin laughing out loud, just for effect. A few minutes later this 45 year oldish guy comes in and says [at the other end of counter, in a whisper]

SG: "Yeah, Mike, what's up?"
MG: "This guy is trying to give me some [pause] funny money."
SG: "Really? What?"
MG: "Get this, a two dollar bill."
SG: "Why would a guy fake a $2 bill?" [incredulous]
MG: "I don't know? He's kinda weird. Says the only other thing he has is a fifty."
SG: "So, the fifty's fake?"
MG: "NO, the $2 is."
SG: "Why would he fake a $2 bill?"
MG: "I don't know. Can you talk to him, and get him out of here?"
SG: "Yeah..."

Security guard walks over to me and says

SG: "Mike here tells me you have some fake bills you're trying to use."
ME: "Uh, no."
SG: "Lemme see 'em."
ME: "Why?"
SG: "Do you want me to get the cops in here?"

At this point I was ready to say, "SURE, PLEASE," but I wanted to eat, so I said

ME: "I'm just trying to buy a burrito and pay for it with this $2 bill."

I put the bill up near his face, and he flinches like I was taking a swing at him. He takes the bill, turns it over a few times in his hands, and says

SG: "Mike, what's wrong with this bill?"
MG: "It's fake."
SG: "It doesn't look fake to me."
MG: "But it's a **$2** bill."
SG: "Yeah?"
MG: "Well, there's no such thing, is there?"

The security guard and I both looked at him like he was an idiot, and it dawned on the guy that he had no clue.

My burrito was free and he threw in a small drink and those cinnamon things, too. Makes me want to get a whole stack of $2 bills just to see what happens when I try to buy stuff. If I got the right group of people, I could probably end up in jail. At least you get free food.

A few questions for BHO

This is an excerpt from another e-mail I received. I can't believe people are putting up with this when BHO proclaimed so loudly that there would be transparency in his administration. Yeah, right.

Time for more Truth

Here is an e-mail I received recently that really puts things into perspective:

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have approved.

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?

And now for something completely different...

I'm a big fan of knowledge. But not just the useful type. I like the obscure stuff, too!

I stumbled across these by chance and now wish that I could skateboard/snowboard! There are two boards out that try to simulate the experience of snowboarding while on asphalt.



They are the Freebord





and the Flowboard.





What's interesting is that they are so different in design!
