Jobs That Don’t Suck

Some of these jobs would be hard, but these jobs suck less than most. However, that doesn’t mean you could pay me enough to do some of them (it’s a pretty entertaining list, just the same).

26: Failed Model – If you fail at modeling then you can marry a Brady!

[…]

65: Sommelier – If you love wine this is for you. People will actually pay you because you are a wino.

[…]

105: K-Fed’s Bodyguards – You know this white boy won’t ever get in a fight. You might have to shield the loser from people throwing his own CDs at him.

The Man Of 101 Voices

This guy does 101 impressions all in less than four minutes. Some are a little bit iffy and he does some of them so fast that you really can’t tell if they’re accurate, but still impressive nonetheless.

Adult Swim Marketing Campaign Scares The Hell Out Of Boston

This is already all over the blog world but I have to ask: Why in the heck is the city of Boston is freaking out over this? If you want to see one of the “suspicious devices” up close, somebody managed to get ahold of one.

Worst Driver or Worst Minivan Ever?

Either this woman’s a crappy driver, or the minivan was a crappy design, but this video is still hilarious.

Mine Would Look Like an Oval

Ever tried to draw a perfect circle freehand? My guess is that no matter how good you are, you won’t get as good as this guy (video after the jump).

Where was this back in my apartment days?

This CD would’ve come in really handy back in the day when I shared a wall with other folks…

A great way to get back at those noisy neighbors! Give them a taste of their own medicine with any one of these 20 ear-splitting sound effect tracks. Anyone who’s ever lived in an apartment will really appreciate this hilarious CD! Earplugs supplied for your listening pleasure. Imported from France.

I love how it’s imported from France, as if it makes it that much more annoying (which it really probably does).

Hiring People Is No Fun

I’ve been in the position to interview/hire people before, and thankfully the interviews haven’t gone like this …

Random Link Dump

In an attempt to get rid a few of my flagged links in my stash here until I can get something worthwhile written, here are just a few random links:

This week has just been crazy for me, and I’m hoping to divulge more about it later this week. Stay tuned…

Hold Off On Vista

Windows Vista hit the market today, but I’d hold off on purchasing it. To steal a bunch of self-promoting (for Mike Elgan) links from the Raw Feed:

1. Vista is incomplete

2. Vista is expensive

3. Vista wants a new PC

4. Vista is time-consuming

5. Windows XP isn’t obsolete

6. Vista may be the best reason yet to buy a Mac

Here are 10 other good reasons to avoid Vista.

Seriously, though, Windows XP is fine for 99.9% of the folks out there, and I just have to wonder why we waited as many years as we did for this.

Who Has The Worst Crime Rate Per Capita?

It isn’t who you think…

The top crime neighborhood in the world isn’t in Sao Paulo or Lagos. It’s not the Bronx in New York, or even Wedding in Berlin. It’s the small city ruled by Pope Benedict XVI, which apparently sees more criminal cases per capita than any other part of the world.

The Vatican’s attorney general Nicola Picardi released the astounding statistic at the start of 2007: The tiny nation’s justice department in 2006 had to contend with 341 civil and 486 criminal cases. In a population of 492, that measures out to 1.5 cases per person — twenty times the corresponding rate in Italy.

Obviously, this is mostly from folks who make the journey to the Vatican, not from permanent residents, but it’s still an interesting stat.
