This is why I avoid Nascar

I’m always afraid I’ll run into crazed fans like this:

130-pound woman gives birth to 14-pound baby

Good lord that’s a big kid. I remember Hannah weighed nearly 8 pounds, but had a head as big as a 12 pounder that was born 15 minutes earlier.

I wish government entities would have never discovered Flash and Java

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have created hideous sites like these (and be sure to watch their enthralling Flash intro). The citizens of Jackson County in Florida should complain. Their tax dollars, I’m sure, paid for that mess.

When you register a new domain, who are the first visitors?

So Chris registers a new domain, what were the first hits on his logs?

Exploit: Host: 217.148.32.42 Url: /scripts/nsiislog.dll”

Google: Host: 64.68.82.25 Url: / Agent: Googlebot/2.1 (Who told them?)

Spammer crawler?: Host: 209.69.207.2 Url: / Agent: libwww-perl/5.65

Nimda?: Host: 12.103.229.120 Url: /scripts/..%255c%255c../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir”

Scary how Google and others know about the domain when nobody else does.

Don’t try this at home

Grasshoppers: 11, Humans: 0

I’ve heard of venomous bugs killing folks, but I can’t say that I’ve heard of anything quite like this:

Eleven people died and thousands were taken to hospital with breathing difficulties after a swarm of grasshoppers invaded a town in central Sudan, the government-owned Al-Anbaa newspaper reported.

The bugs didn’t attack, apparently they let off an strong odor that caused people to have breathing problems. Weird stuff…

Brits are evil bastards

Or at least b3ta folks are. Check out this thread on their forums about pure evil pranks that folks on the boards have done. There are a lot of sick, twisted stunts on there — which means I’ll be printing the thing up for future reference.

Kevin Costner as Neo? <shiver>

I love the Matrix movies, but I don’t like Keanu Reeves. Never really have, at least in the role he’s playing in Matrix. But I hate him less than I do Kevin Costner, who was seriously considered for the lead role in the Matrix series. I had heard rumors a LONG time ago that Jet Li was wanted as well, but turned it down. Instead, they got stuck with a guy that, really, has done some crappy movies. I’m sorry, but Keanu will always be Ted Logan or Tod Hawkes, in my mind.

Oh well … I know what I’ll be seeing on November 5th.

Update: Welcome to all the folks from Jon’s Matrix Name Generator. He was kind enough to link to me, even though I haven’t seen revolutions yet (don’t hold it against me — I haven’t had time to make it to the theater yet). BTW: My Matrix Name is Cairo 🙂

Mother nature was in a cranky mood

She zapped and killed a woman with lightning, but there were no thunderstorms in the area. Thanks to Kent for the link.

A storm is coming

I know if I woke up this morning on my cargo boat out in the Ocean, and saw this coming my way, I’d be crapping my pants. Thanks to my cousin Pat for the link:
