Cell Phone Broken?
It may be because your pants are too tight.
now comes a warning about tight pants.
A survey of 300 retailers in Sweden found that squeezing handsets into snug-fitting pants is the second leading cause of broken phones. Apparently, the phones simply can’t handle the pressure, and screens break or covers bend or crack.
To put it in perspective, tight pants break more phones than dogs, children, rain, snow, acts of forgetfulness and throwing phones to the ground in a rage…

What is Wrong With Our Country?
A nationwide telephone poll conducted by student researchers at Cornell University reports that nearly half the people questioned support limiting the rights of Muslim-Americans including the use of racial profiling and government infiltration of Muslim organizations. Researchers questioned 715 people and the poll had a margin of error of 3.6 percentage points. Support was highest among Republicans and the highly religious and lowest among Democrats and people who are less religious. Full Story. Link via SEB.
MovableType 3.14 Released
I’ve been using the beta version of this (will be installing the release version tonight), and I would recommend everybody download and install the newest version. There are some bugs that got fixed that will help your server load tremendously (especially if you’re getting pounded by comment spam).
You Thought Your Day Sucked?
I doubt your day was as bad as this Bend contractor’s:
A Bend-area construction worker learned a painful lesson the hard way Monday morning: When you stop off on the way to work for the morning cup of brew, don’t leave your keys in the rig ? especially if there’s a trailer and Bobcat on the back. They just might not be there when you return.
One suspect in the pickup and trailer theft was arrested a short time later, but the other fled police in the stolen pickup ? from which the trailer hauling the construction equipment already had been unhooked ? and eventually lost the officers on gravel roads east of town.
Moral of the story? Don’t leave your keys in your car, even for a minute.
That Explains The Headaches
I can’t believe you could have a nail stuck in your head for four years and not know it was there.

Moron Crook For The Day
If you’re going to be driving with 33 bags of cocaine, 34 tablets of ecstasy, a small bag of marijuana, a six-pack of beer, a loaded handgun and two open bottles of alcohol, don’t be an idiot and drive the wrong way down a one-way street.
A $200 Christmas Tree
That’s how much it’ll cost you in Hawaii. Meanwhile, I think my $5 yanked-from-the-forest tree works just fine for me.
Only In Florida
What’s the perfect place for a high school for troubled teens? Right between a strip club and an adult video store.
Idiot For The Day
Just an FYI: It’s probably not a good idea to light your cigarette with the stove while wearing an oxygen mask.
