According to “Star Trek,” Americans will continue to be the heroic leaders in charge of the bravest international forces until the 24th century, when command of the Enterprise goes to some bald French guy. And that, my friend, is how we know it’s science *fiction*.
Can’t afford to purchase Eminem’s former house? Then how about a picture of a cat looking at the auction for Eminem’s house?
Update: No more comments are allowed on this entry because of the idiots trolls and the morons who think I’m somehow a good friend of Mr. Mathers, and because there are just too many idiots posting asinine “I love you Eminem!” rants. And the comments were getting nasty. I don’t mind the occassional swear word now and again, but keep it in context and sort of tasteful. The comments have all been deleted, discussion closed.
Just called Sears, and the new fridge (to replace ours that went bad this weekend) is here, and so we can get it whenever. It’s been NOT fun not having a fridge for 5 days. It’s MUCHO better than the one we had, that’s for sure.
…I wouldn’t still be playing it, nor would I be stingy with it, considering all the folks I either a) owe a great deal of my life to, or b) owe a great deal of money too. But I guess that’s why I don’t win the lottery.
This guy in New York won $165 million, and he still plays the lotto. He was already a millionaire before cashing his take-home check of $92 million, so it wasn’t like he needed the money (like most of us do).
And even worse? The drug store he bought the ticket from didn’t get a dime of a tip from him. They just got the $10,000 that the state gives out as a percentage of winning ticket sales. That’s no small chunk of cash, but it certainly didn’t come from the winner (a cheap-skate if there ever was one).
This is linked on dang near every site out there, so I figured I’d link to it, too. Can you tell a backside from an elbow?
Remember RC Pro Am, the old-school Nintendo game? Man I loved that game (right up there with River City Ransom). Well, there’s a similar (though, not quite as cool) Flash version of the game over here.
It’s taken a while for experts to finally be able to figure out how to open a digitally stored time capsule from the 80s BBC Domesday project. Took them several years, and instead of getting the old computer system that stored it running, they developed a software emulator that acts like the old computer. That’s one way to do it, I guess.

A hour drive that turns into a 28-hour drive around a neighborhood. Man thought he was in Canton, Ohio, found in Cleveland. Full Story.

While I’m fully aware that money can’t buy happiness, I wouldn’t mind being known as “the melancholy guy who drives the red Lamborghini Diablo.”
This belongs in the cool and funny category, but this is one of the most impressive things I’ve seen in a long time. Navigate through this site until you get to the Library Musical. It’s about 10 minutes long, and if you’ve ever sat in a quiet library, dead tired from studying, you will understand how funny this is if it were to happen in your library.
