Here are crapload of people at a Keizer baseball game playing “Taking Me Out To The Ball Game” on their kazoos, in an attempt to break a world record:

Isn’t Her 15 Minutes Up Yet?
We’ve all seen the Miss S.C. Teen USA and her bumbling of the geography question on the show (if you haven’t, watch this). She’s since been making the talk show circuit, and now has a geography pop quiz video on People.com. On the bright side, at least she’s laughing about her flub. But her 15 minutes are up now.
Microsoft Forces Shutdown Of Autopatcher
If you haven’t used Autopatcher, you’ve really missed out on a great way to keep multiple computer up-to-date (especially if you’re like me and work on brand-new computers on a regular basis that need patching). Like right now, I’m setting up a new Windows XP machine for the office, and was trying to get Autopatcher installed as my copy is a few months old. But I couldn’t, as Microsoft has sent a cease-and-desist notice to the Autopatcher folks, so you’ll no longer find downloads or updates to the pack on their site.
Truly a sad day, indeed. Google cache still has the download page, but many of the links don’t work as they go to NeoWin’s forums, where the project originally lived. You can find it here, and torrents here, but probably not for long.
I’m sure this is a ploy by Microsoft to convince people to start using their clunky services more or to try to move people in the corporate world to their Update Services systems. Thanks, Microsoft, but if I’m going to get an automated patch solution, I’ll use Net-Chk Protect.
Really Bad Photoshop Jobs
Faith Hill doesn’t even look like the same person. But as bad as that was, at least she didn’t have Thing from the Addams Family on her shoulder like this lady did.
You know, some things just don’t need to be sexual…
…but if you’re even wondering what your public IP address is, and have the urge to have a sexy voice moan it in all its glory, here’s your site.
If you could do without the moaning, go here,
If You’re Going To Rob A Store…
…there are better (and less painful) disguises than wrapping your head in duct tape (with hilarious photos and video).
Why Kids Are Stupid
The Dren was shopping at his local Target and found yet another reason why kids are dumb.
That’ll Take A While To Clean Up
An accident caused 24 tons of chicken crap on this guy’s front yard. Quote of the story: “It was like a tsunami wave of hot chicken (manure).”
The Best and Worst News From The Last 24 Hours
I thought it was great when I heard that Paris Hilton wasn’t going to get her inheritance. Too bad it was a hoax.
Another Parent Of The Year Nominee
This time, instead of a drugged out mom, it was a dad who just made a mistake…
An 11-month-old boy died in the back seat of the family car in Concord on Wednesday after his father apparently forgot to drop him off at day care and instead left him locked inside the vehicle while he spent the day at work, police said.
