Quoted from the story:
Two teens accused of searching for a marijuana dealer dialed the ultimate wrong number — they called the Mower County Sheriff’s cell phone.
Whoops…
Needless to say, they’ll be spending some time in jail.

Teen girls call sheriff’s cell phone to order marijuana — twice
I’d have a large penis, too!
But Chris has his claim on the largest, based on the spam he’s received in the last 15 minutes. From his funny post:
If I respond to every unsolicited offer I’ve received in the past fifteen minutes, I could have: (1) a penis that stretches from here to the middle of Nebraska, which will remain unwaveringly rigid for 218.3 years; (2) sex with 21 women, but only if I respond today; (3) a breast size that could fit the three moons of Jupiter inside; (4) a Pacific ocean’s worth of printer ink; and (5) enough wealth to enable the entire citizenry of California to retire tomorrow.
I’d honestly like somebody to do the math, as I don’t think Pirillo is too far off with his estimates.
I use the SpamBayes Outlook Addin and it seems to do just fine with my 300 or so spam I get on a daily basis (though I have a bunch of server-based filters that kill a bunch before it even gets to my inbox, so I’m sure I’d have 500+ without those).
The comments keep getting weirder and weirder
I posted a while back about the random comments on this site. Recently, I’ve gotten a few weirder ones, and they seem to be on the same posts that they came from before.
And apparently people think by posting on my site, they will get their message to the celebrities. Observe:
From this post where I just happened to mention Eminem’s name:
Eminem if u read this i would like to tall u i LOVE you and ur music. ur music puts a picture in my mind of excatly what u must of gone through or at least what ur singing about. well if you dont see this marshall i love you but to any 1 who does see this hello
My post on Michael Jackson’s face and the fact that he says he never had plastic surgery still bring fun comments:
i love michael jackson it doesn’t matter wats on the outside there is a person in there and he has feelings too. He has had a troubled life and everything and ppl still discriminateee against him and stuff so dont be mean to him (not that i said u did but other ppl really are:( )
And another:
i think everyone should leave michale jackson alone. I mean it’s a free world what did he do to everyone else, i mean he has alot of talent, geez i bet that the people trying to destoy “THE KING OF POP”couldn’t dance half as good as he could and they don’t like him i think he is the best thing that has hit the face of the earth, to all you michale jackson haters out there go and get a live and wake up and smell the coffee.
Another:
Hi! I think Michael Jackson rules!! He IS the King of pop and that’s what he’ll stay! People should STOP saying how ugly he is! Who cares what colour he is or what he really looks like? Does it really matter? Does it matter that he has changed himself for himself? He is a great singer and he doesn’t need to be critisized!
And yet another:
just leave michael jackson alone let him get on with he’s life.he is the king of pop and that wat i like about him.he would not hurt a fly.he has a heart of gold.michael jackson is the best and you or anyone ase can beat him.he is a good singer.good dancer and now one well every beat him.he can beat you any day.so read this and you well understand that u well near beat him ok I LOVE YOU MICHEAL JACKSON AND I WELL ALLWAYS LOVE YOU I WILL LOVE TO MEET YOUUUUUUUUUU
I think the most entertaining part is that before I deleted the comments and rebuilt the site, each of the above comments were posted at least two times (some as many as four) by people who are impatient and won’t wait for the page to reload — they just hit the “Post” button until they felt better.
So how are all these folks getting to the Michael Jackson entry? Well, let’s look through the logs. Apparently, if you spell Jackson’s name wrong (even in another language), you’ll get here (thanks to one of the comments above). Or if you’re looking for his home address. Or if you’re just looking for information on his face.
But what about Eminem and his fans on this site? Apparently people are looking for his house, too. Or they’re hoping to find his e-mail address.

If you search for answer to life, the universe, and everything the new calculator function they put in will tell you it?s 42. Which, if you’ve read Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, is correct.

New Irfanview 3.85 released
If you haven’t installed and tried Irfanview, you are missing out. I work with dozens of graphic file formats on a regular basis, and since I don’t want to open the program that originally created the file to just do a simple view of it (like a Photoshop document, for example), I just use this program. It also has a ton of batch and command line processing features, can open dang near open any format under the sun, and even has a pile of little options and image editing tools and hacks that make life easier. All for free in an 800KB executable (there are about 4 megs worth of plugins that are needed to open some formats, but they don’t slow down the program at all).
Between this and Photoshop, I can open and convert any image I’ve come across, with one exception: really old Corel Draw files. But I’m not losing too much sleep over that.
You think you were speeding?
You hold nothing on this guy — 182 MPH in a 55 MPH zone.
Trying to get the RIAA off your back?
You may have heard that the RIAA is considering offering amnesty to music downloaders to avoid prosecution (but since the RIAA doesn’t represent every record label, they could just be getting your information and selling it to other record labels so they can so you). I’ve got a better idea. Just fill out this form and send it to them. I’m sure they’ll leave you alone then. Really.
How valid is the “5 Second Rule”?
Leave it to a high schooler with too much time on her hands during an internship to study this and present it to the world.
This is why I hate the folks in Government
Oregon’s unemployment is high, there’s no money for anything because it’s all being spent on The War, but lawmakers can still find it in themselves to give themselves a pay raise. Bastards.
Two biggest fires in the state become one
Camp Sherman has been evacuated, and the B and B Complex fires have are one, nasty, 70,000+ acre mess. The smoke here in Bend is getting thicker, and causing me to sneeze a bit (and when have back/leg pain, sneezing hurts like hell). But I could see the smoke billowing here in Bend on the way home from work.
