The guy that runs the Craine Prairie Resort here in Central Oregon is a hoot. There was a health advisory issued for his resort and the lake saying that because of the blue-green algae blooms in the water, it is unsafe for you to come into contact with the water. The owner of the resort really doesn’t see too much of a problem with it.

Cats Are Stupid
Cat climbs up tree. Cat can’t get down. Cat is adored enough to have somebody climb up tree to try to shake it down. Cat falls out of tree. Cat gets scared. Cat sprints up another tree. Link via b3ta.
Fox News Porn
Fox News was doing a story on protecting kids from porn, and they clearly blurred the breasts in this image, but missed the full penetration.
Whoops.

“How to Avoid Flamewars” by Dave Winer
Winer would be the last guy I’d picture writing this article considering how many he’s started. I think this MeFi comment pretty much sums up why people hate Winer, as do many of the comments here as well as this diagnosis. The guy has started or extended more idiotic flame wars than anybody, so you can see the irony in him writing this.
Before you know it, we’ll see “Eloquent Speech” by Mike Tyson, or Courtney Love’s “Guide to Responsible Parenting” (thanks Waxy for that one).
Internet 2 Will Deploy Ahead of Schedule
And Dave Winer has been put in charge of Internet v.1. Very entertaining read:
“Dave will own Internet 1, and all sites therein. Dave will immediately be granted root access to all servers, and will be allowed to decide who can be on his Internet, and what they will be allowed to say. As a provision of this grant, Dave understands that he not be allowed on Internet 2 at all.”
“It was all we could do”, Berners-Lee continued in an exclusive interview . “We’ve be trying to get rid of this guy longer than Bush has been hunting for Bin Laden, but he just won’t go away. We finally decided that we’d all just leave instead.”
Thanks to one of my readers (who didn’t give his name, and I’m not about share his email address) for the submission.
Editing the Editors
You have to love it when somebody writes a book on grammar and then subsequently has its grammar torn apart by other grammar geeks. Link from Waxy’s Links.

Hackers Launch “Enhancement of Service” Attack
A group naming themselves The God Fearing Computer Hackers of Uzbekistan announced today that they were behind the Enhancement of Service Attack launched on the Microsoft.com web site, yesterday.
During the attack, which lasted 65 minutes, users were able to click straight through to the required page, without needing to wait for the page to load.
Engineers at Microsoft deny the attack took place, claiming it was the superiority of a new patch being tested which ‘did the trick’, but were unable to explain why the performance of the web site slowed to normal levels after the alleged attack took place.
Suicide Flash Game
When all you want to do is kill yourself, play Suicide Bob, and kill Bob instead. The object of the game? To successfully commit suicide and not be saved.
