I actually got this link before SlashDot posted it, but just now got around to posting it. This is one funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. This lady cooked her powerbook. Why? Nobody knows. She stuck it in the oven for 20 minutes. Amazingly, other than the screen and keyboard being absolutely destroyed, the innards still work fine, and the tech support guy that was given the laptop by the lady that baked it is now happily running OS 10.2 on it with an external monitor plugged in. I think the best part about it is when the lady brought the thing in, she said “Sir, I’ve got a baked Apple.” Priceless.

Ruminations for the Day
From Ruminate.com:
I have a very high tolerance to alcohol. The problem is that I always get drunk long before I reach it.
I wanted to try that Jared guy’s “Subway diet,” but since I don’t live near a Subway, I had to improvise. Eight months later, I’m sad to report that the “McDonald’s Filet O’ Fish Extra Value Meal diet” has thus far been, well, spectacularly unsuccessful.
I wish human beings had the power to regenerate lost appendages. But not if that flab of skin that used to hang from my elbow counts as an appendage. I couldn’t bear to think of having to sand *that* thing off again.
My social life is like a Jet Ski. I pop out with it every now and then and try not to kill anyone.
I’m losing patience with my neighbors, Mr Bush
A friend of mine forwarded me an article from the Observer that is absolutely hillarious, and pretty much sums up the feelings of a lot of folks who are against the war on Iraq. It’s satire, obviously, but REALLY funny.
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers would enjoy this
From Ruminate.com:
You say, “to-may-to.”
I say, “to-mah-to.”
You say, “Is it necessary to constantly correct me?”
I say, “It wouldn’t be if you got it right.”
You say, “I’m sleeping with your brother.”
I say what sounds like blubbering.
Let’s call the whole thing off.
Woman can’t find her winning $85 million lottery ticket
Carole Warner says she doesn’t even know if she wants the money, but her husband is of a different mindset. “He’s extremely ticked off right now at the fact that I misplaced the ticket,” she says. Full Story. (Another Obscure Store link.)
Inappropriate story graphic of the week
In what’s becoming a nearly frequent problem at the BBC, they can’t seem to figure out an appropriate graphic for stories. For example, since when did cheese signify the condition the ‘net was in? Link from NTK.
AT&T Offers Instant Messaging
I’m really glad that Brian at bbspot.com decided to quit his day job and run the site full time, as he’s putting out some great content (and remember, folks, this site is SATIRICAL…if you don’t have a sense of humor, go away).
A great one from the last week, AT&T Offers Instant Messaging. Granted, it wasn’t written by Brian, but still funny as heck. From the article:
In Larsen’s demonstration, he explained that each user is given a unique phone id or “number”. This is fairly standard in the IM world. This number can then be keyed into a telephone to initiate contact with another user. What’s revolutionary about AT&T’s TIM application, according to Larsen, is that the users will not be limited to communicating by typing. The user’s voice is “streamed” over the telephone line in “real-time.”
” I wanted to keep all the stuff we’d had sex on.”
From Ruminate.com:
While redecorating, I realized my wife and I have drastically different tastes in furniture. She wanted to keep only the pieces that reflected the French provincial theme she was creating; I wanted to keep all the stuff we’d had sex on.
Ruminations
From Ruminate.com:
The best thing about going the wrong way on a one-way street? Hey, no stop signs!
My wife is crazy with forgetfulness. I found about a dozen condoms in her suitcase, so she even forgot that I’m not coming on this trip! What a not-remembering nut she is!
I’m surprised no one has come up with a blow-up sex doll that doubles as a wading pool for the kids. That would be perfect for those of us who can’t afford both.
No amount of talent or success with women can alter the following simple fact of life: In grade school, any kid with a name as goofy as “Leonardo DiCaprio” should plan on getting beaten up a lot.
Take it from me: Of all the responses to a compliment by your partner after sex, one of the worst might be “Must be the Puppy Chow.”
