In some marketing material with a screen shot of the new MSN Search (which will help you with your algebra homework), the browser being used in the screenshot is Firefox. They even give a link to download Firefox on Microsoft’s Windows Catalog site. Honestly, I’m sure many folks in Redmond use Firefox.

SpongeBob Kidnappers Seek Ransom

Bush Caught With Fly Down
Would somebody please tell George W. that if he’s going to be chilling out with world leaders for a photo-op, that he makes sure his fly is up.
Random Thought For The Day
There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer’s research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.
Thanks Barney for that.
Release Your Anger With Punctuation
When a boss writes you an e-mail that makes you angry as heck, just make sure you use appropriate punctuation in your reply so you can call him a bunch of names, but he’ll never know. Link via b3ta.
Replacing Water With Beer
What if instead of using water, you’d use beer? So you’d brush your teeth with beer, make your coffee with beer and cook a pot of noodles with beer? Could you do it? This guy tried.
40% of AOL Subscribers Don’t Have Computers
100% of them are still idiots. Full Story (it’s satire folks — have a laugh).
Read The Fine Print
Otherwise, instead of getting a Toshiba A30 laptop for over $1100, you just get a picture of it.
F**k The South
This is one of the funniest rants I’ve read in a long time. A snippet (and pardon the language, but this is a direct quote):
Fuck the South. Fuck ’em. We should have let them go when they wanted to leave. But no, we had to kill half a million people so they’d stay part of our special Union. Fighting for the right to keep slaves – yeah, those are states we want to keep.
And now what do we get? We’re the fucking Arrogant Northeast Liberal Elite? How about this for arrogant: the South is the Real America? The Authentic America. Really?
Cause we fucking founded this country, assholes. Those Founding Fathers you keep going on and on about? All that bullshit about what you think they meant by the Second Amendment giving you the right to keep your assault weapons in the glove compartment because you didn’t bother to read the first half of the fucking sentence? Who do you think those wig-wearing lacy-shirt sporting revolutionaries were? They were fucking blue-staters, dickhead. Boston? Philadelphia? New York? Hello? Think there might be a reason all the fucking monuments are up here in our backyard?
It’s worth a read, despite the language, just to see how angry some people can get, as the part I quoted above is tame compared to the rest of his rant. Thanks to about a hundred people who e-mailed that my direction.
Politicos Want to Rename I-69
This reminds me of the folks in New Mexico that wanted to rename Route 666:
John Hostettler, the Congressman representing the 8th district of Indiana, has been convinced by local religious groups to introduce legislation in the House that would change the name of an Interstate 69 extension to a more moral sounding number.
There are plans to extend the interstate from Indianapolis through southwestern Indiana all the way through Texas into Mexico in the coming years. While most believe this highway will be good for the state’s economy, religious conservatives believe “I-69” sounds too risqué and want to change the interstate’s number.
Update on 11/17: OK, I’m an idiot and well behind on my Fark reading. This is all a hoax.
