An Ingenious Paint Job

I don’t know where the guy came up with this, but I think the paint job on this guy’s truck is perfect for a plumber (and I’m sure the photo of the truck circulating around the ‘net probably hasn’t hurt business):

Thanks Barney for the image.

New Creatures

One of the habits of the folks on the b3ta forums is for folks on there to create new animals in Photoshop by combining the traits of a couple animals. Somebody has gone through the effort of putting several hundred of them online for your browsing pleasure.

Let’s Send Osama A Valentines Card

Joke that Barney just sent me…

Melissa comes home from her first grade class, and tells her father that they learned about the history of Valentine’s Day.

“Since Valentine’s Day is for a Christian saint and we’re Jewish,” she asks, “will God get mad at me for giving someone a valentine?”

Melissa’s father thinks a bit, then says “No, I don’t think God would get mad. Who do you want to give a valentine to?”

“Osama Bin Laden,” she says.

“Why Osama Bin Laden?” her father asks, in shock.

“Well,” she says, “I thought that if a little American Jewish girl could have enough love to give Osama a valentine, he might start to think that maybe we’re not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little.”

“And if other kids saw what I did and sent valentines to Osama, he’d love everyone a lot more. And then he’d start going all over the place to tell everyone how much he loved them and how he didn’t hate anyone anymore.”

Her father’s heart swells with pride and he looks at his daughter with new found pride. “Melissa, that’s the most wonderful thing I’ve ever heard!”

“I know,” Melissa says. “And once that gets him out in the open, our Marines could blow the s**t out of him!”

Yahoo! Mocks Google’s Employee Party

Quoting this site:

For those who went or read about the Google Dance 2004 you would have noticed they ran out of beer early within the party. What is really funny is that Yahoo! did something to mock that at their search engine.

Search Yahoo on the keyword phrase ses party rule #1 and you will find some entertaining results (screenshotted at the above site, if it ever gets fixed). Link via Waxy.

Better Not Look For A Hooker in Omaha

In an effort to curb prostitution in Omaha, the names of 16 men convicted of soliciting prostitution have gone up in big, bold letters on billboards in central Omaha. Full Story.

Behold, The Oracle of Starbucks

Just type in what you’re drinking, and it’ll tell you the type of person you are. It’s surprisingly accurate (after surveying some friends of mine).

We Need More Geek Graphic Designers

And CNN needs to hire one of them so that when they do a story about Open-Source software taking over the world, they don’t use a screen-shot of VisiCalc in their graphics. Link via NTK.

How To Spot The Rich Guy

I Love Environmentalists

Thanks to the skeptic, we have irony at its finest:

A small cruise ship catering to eco-tourists was seriously damaged after running aground in the Aleutian Islands.

Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer Roddy Corr said about 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel spilled from the ruptured tank, as was some waste water. He said swift currents dispersed the spilled fluid before it could be cleaned up.

A preliminary investigation indicated that the ship was going about 5 knots when it hit uncharted rocks between two islands, said Doug Bolnick, a spokesman for Clipper Cruise Line, the St. Louis company that operates the tour.

So it’s the environmentalists that are killing the environment. Fascinating.

That’s Going To Sting A Bit

Man charged with meth manufacture after pants explode:

“Finally, while he was sitting in the back seat, the front of his pants exploded,” Stanfield said Friday.

He said Doyle apparently had mixed red phosphorous and iodine in a film canister and stuck it in his pocket.

The chemical reaction caused second- and third-degree burns to Doyle’s testicles and leg, Sheriff’s Maj. Hill Morrison said. He was treated at Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga, Tenn., before being jailed.
