Yet another unfortunate headline.

I’m a big fan of good satire, especially geek satire, which is why I’m a fan of BBspot, but I’ve found another geek satire site: SlashNOT. Just some headlines from the site:Hormel opposes anti-spam legislation, IBM creating world’s most powerful computer (not a funny headline, but funny story), and Google arrested while dumping body. It’s a great /. parody.

Joke sent via e-mail:

One day a teacher had a taste test with her students.

She picked a little boy to do the first test.

She blindfolded him, put a Hershey kiss in his mouth and asked, “Do you know what it is?”

“No, I don’t,” said the little boy.

“Okay, I’ll give you a clue. It’s the thing your daddy wants from your Mom before he goes to work.”

Suddenly, a little girl at the back of the room yelled, “Spit it out! It’s a piece of ass!! ”

Of the many options cited in this column, you could always panic, turn on a TV, go outside, or, heaven-forbid, talk to your spouse. Thanks to Neil for the link

Bad things happen when mom finds out about the blog. Thanks to Jack for the link.

I happened to be looking through my server logs, and noticed my stylesheet was getting linked to directly from an outside site. I had no idea why anybody would be linking directly to it, so I checked the referrer, and got this page:

http://www.intecmar.usb.ve/~eklein/Plagio/Plagioweb.html

Obviously, the page is in a foreign language, so I had it translated.

The title of the site and the content on it? It roughly translate “Why plagiarism happens in Universities and how to avoid it”. Ironic (or hypocritical?) that they’re stealing my template and stylesheet on a site about stealing content.

Download PMS Alert, a legit program with good intentions, but I could just see more men downloading it than women. Thanks to Neil for the link.

Without this easy to follow guide, you wouldn’t know how to sign such useful things “I grabbed the hooker by the hair,” “Soon I’ll Be Darth Vader,” “I’ve got Coke on my pinky,” or “I had an abortion for Christmas.” You never know when those will come in handy.

First, there was the fish in San Francisco that is 65. They were claiming prize of oldest fish. But it turns out there’s one in Chicago that is even older.

On a related note, my annoying and old goby in my fish tank finally died. He was too big to flush down the toilet, but it was nice to get rid of him as he’s eaten most of the new fish we’ve tried to get. He was just such a pretty (and valuable) fish that we were trying to sell/trade him, but found no takers. Oh well … at least we can get some other fish in there, and just hope the ropefish won’t chew on them.

I’m not anti or pro war, but I am anti obnoxious protestors. You have your rights, and I have mine, which reminds me of this joke I got via email:

To nobody’s surprise there were protestors today in DC, they attempted to disrupt the metro system and block the Key Bridge, a leading artery into DC from Northern Virginia. I got hosed twice because I come in from NoVA on the metro and it is raining hard which makes traffic worse any way. My commute was long and arduous and only caused further resentment for protestors (but that isn’t the point of this thread). Anyway, I’ll get to the point.

I got off the train in Rosslyn because I had to use the bathroom and the train was moving quite slowly. When I was getting back on the train, there were protestors on the train platform handing out pamphlets on the evils of America. I politely declined to take one.

An elderly woman was behind me getting off the escalator and a young (20ish) female protestor offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined. The young protestor put her hand on the old woman’s shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice said, “Ma’am, don’t you care about the children of Iraq?”

The old woman looked up at her and said, “Honey, my first husband died in France during World War II so you could have the right to stand here and bad mouth your country. And if you touch me again, I’ll stick this umbrella up your ass and open it.”

I’m glad to report that loud applause broke out among the onlookers and the young protestor was at a total loss for words.
