eBay Feedback Loose Cannon

One of the perks of eBay’s feedback system is that it allows you to reply to people who leave you feedback, leaving opportunities for some entertaining replies.

Bill Gates is A Stud

At least he was back in the day in these publicity photos (circa 1985) that were not actually in Teen Beat magazine like some blogs have reported. I know I didn’t sleep that night when I first saw these last week, but I was scarred for life when I saw the parody.

Cow Dung Fire Burning For Third Month

It’s a 2,000-ton pile of cow crap, and despite repeated attempts at stopping it, the thing will just not stop burning. Thanks Barn for the link.

What’d They Expect?

A company that outsourced their call center to India is shocked to discover that the employees there have thick Indian accents. Full Story.

Semen And Computer Parts

Want a good way to void the warranty for your $500 GeForce 6800 Ultra video card? This isn’t how I’d do it (safe for work, don’t worry). True or not, the thread is a very entertaining read.

People Are Dumb

Over a quarter of Black Americans believe the US government created the HIV virus, and 1 in 8 believe that it is being spread by the CIA, according to a study released by Rand Corporation and the University of Oregon. Full story. Thanks Neil for the link.

What (Who?) Did Tonya Harding Eat?

She certainly isn’t the same woman she was when she was figure skating. Just take a look at this picture. Thanks William for the link.

Talk Sweet Nothings And Tell Me Lies

This is brilliant. Just call 212-875-7000 to talk with flag-waving, Bible-thumping babes who are waiting right now for you to help them spread lies freedom.

A Fun Experiment

Somebody sent a camera across the country via the post office that instructed the postal workers who handled the camera to take photos with it. The camera arrived a week later with 24 good pictures on it.

Simple Flash Fun

It’s in Japanese, but the game’s simple enough to pull off. A bunch of blue dots will flow up onto the screen. Click on one of those dots to make it explode in an attempt to start as large of a chain reaction as possible. You get three whacks at 50 balls. The best I did was 117 (with a best of 40 in one of the rounds). How’d you do?
