If you ever want a machine that will be able to thoroughly destroy anything you throw at it, you want one of these. Be sure to watch the videos of its unadulterated destruction.

Freaky Chicken Eater
OK, technically, the idea behind this product is to easily harvest mass amounts of chickens for transport, but I have to admit, it’s pretty scary looking (and probably not too enjoyable for the chicken).
Random Dukes of Hazzard Trivia
Did you know the actor who played Boss Hogg was a cunning linguist, fluent in five languages, and worked for the government at one point? I didn’t, either.
Another Google Search Tool
In attempt to be able to provide everything you could ever need under the sun, Google now provides weather search via Web or SMS. Version 1.0 of their Desktop Search is now available as well, and they have some useful plugins as well. This is one of Google’s products that has actually been taken out of beta (something that even Google jokes about).
What NOT To Do With Your Freezer
This is what happens when you don’t bother to even look in your freezer in your garage for months:
That was after it had been sitting in the direct sun for 90 minutes. I guess prior to this, the doors were completely frozen over as well. That bag of ice sitting on the ground was discovered after some of the frost had melted off. The freezer was pulled out of a house a friend of mine deals with here in Sunriver, and nobody had bothered to use/check that freezer since they installed a nicer refrigerator (with freezer) in the house.
An hour later, things melted down a bit more, and this was found:
Yes, that’s some leftover chicken. God only knows how long that’s been buried in the frost in there.
My recommendation? Just take the thing to the dump and burn it.

Just follow the advice of the Bible, and you’ll easily find your perfect mate.
Addicting Flash Game
This reminds me of the Smack The Penguin game I posted a while back. This one, while in Japanese, is horribly addicting (wish I knew what some of the characters in there meant). I’ve seen it posted in a few places, but haven’t had a chance to try it until now. So far, my best is 1108.16 1609.04m 1929.37m. Can you beat it?
Updated with working link for Penguin post.

Best Marketing Gimmick Ever
After reading the comments of this entry, it’s obviously not completely full of cash, but I still think this is pretty dang slick.
Why Craigslist is Fun
I only wish we had a Craigslist for Central Oregon (they exist for Eugene and Portland). The great thing about Craigslist (which has newspapers shaking) is its user-centered focus, and free listings. It’s very quickly bringing in traffic that might usually go to a local newspaper.
The problem with such popularity is the whack-jobs it can bring out. But the best part is when you know how to have fun with the loonies that show up on there.
Like this guy, who, using Craiglist LA, is trying to recreate the A-Team. Some got the joke, some were deadly serious about helping.
And then there’s the lady that replies to some of the sick perversion personals ads on there and posts the conversations on her blog.
There are some genuinely sick and twisted people out there, that’s for sure. I’m just glad we have the Internet so we can all share in their weirdness and feel better in knowing that, compared to these people, we’re all completely normal.
