Absolutely True

Here's a sweet little .jpg that I found today... What were they thinking?

WTF Fox?

There is a song with a title similar to this, but the word on the screen aren't a part of the lyrics or anything. Apparently they are a comment that maybe wasn't supposed to make it to air? Whatever it is, it's so inappropriate I still can't believe it.

To ring in 2009, I bring you the secret mating habits of the shrew in HD. The good stuff starts after 1:15, so hang in there, it's worth it.

Happy New Year!

You may have noticed over the last few months my posts have been infrequent. Hopefully that will change soon.

To be perfectly honest, after my server error wiped out my blog a few months ago, I've had a hard time getting here to post. Part of it is just that I hate the blog template and the blog software that I use has very few to choose from. I haven't taken the time to learn the language necessary to craft my own, so I'm stuck on ugly.

Another big thing, which happens to be the point of this post, is that I had to go 9 rounds with Dell support recently. I'm going to link you to my rant, rather than explaining it all here, but if you read it, you'll understand why I've been struggling.

Dell Lies Exposed

Here's the summary: Dell sucks.

Expanded summary: Even if your Dell computer is under warranty, tech support will tell outrageous lies about what is wrong with the Dell POS, blame the problem on you and attempt to extort money from you for repairs that the Dell computer does not even need.

Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season! Here's a Christmas video that I hope you'll enjoy.

My new favorite commercial:

A 63-year-old British man has unwittingly caused his own death. Out of respect, I'm not mentioning his name.

The cause of death? Apparently, aggressive nose picking.

He reportedly had a nose picking habit and suffered from dementia that was brought on by alcoholism. The alcoholism was brought on by a brain hemorrhage that he has suffered as a young man. Are you following this?

Anyway, he died from a nosebleed that was brought on by the nose picking. Poor guy.

In summary, listen to what your mother told you and don't pick your nose. There's a very good reason that she told you not to do it.

Alcoholism + picking nose = death

How's that for a bizarre threat?

Actually, I've never smacked anyone with a sandwich. Not yet anyway. That's not to say I haven't kicked a pizza across the room at anyone in a fit of anger, but I digress.

The reason I bring up someone being assaulted with a sandwich is because it recently happened in Port St Lucie.

A 19-year-old guy allegedly hit his girlfriend with a sandwich while she was driving. The sandwich knocked her glasses off and nearly caused them to have a terrible crash.

After being arrested and charged with domestic battery and child abuse (the couple's 7-month-old son was in the car), the guy said that he did not want to hit his girlfriend, so he merely threw the sandwich at her instead.

I can understand that logic. However, in the case of the kicked pizza, no one was driving and no child was put in danger.

I bought new this time, but I could swear my Kia came from these people.

I don't usually post things like this, but this case has been really bothering me. What it comes down to is life or death for Troy Davis.

Davis is on death row in Georgia. He was convicted of killing a police officer. He was scheduled to die, but the Supreme Court issued a stay so that they could decide whether or not to grant him an appeal.

Now the Supreme Court has decided to deny the appeal, clearing the way for Davis to be executed. He will be put to death on Monday, October 27, 2008 unless there is some intervention between now and then.

Here's some of the reasons intervention in this case is necessary and the RIGHT thing to do:

Seven of the nine key witnesses against Davis have recanted their testimony. No murder weapon or physical evidence implicating Davis was found. The case against Davis was made on the testimony of these nine witnesses. One of the witnesses still standing behind the story that Davis is guilty is thought to be the person actually responsible for the murder... so he's got a lot to lose if he changes his story, huh?

So, on the faulty and coerced testimony of these witnesses, this man was sentenced to die. And now the state of Georgia says that it's time.

Please take a moment to send an e-mail to the Georgia Board of Pardons and the governor of Georgia, asking them to halt the execution of this man whose guilt is highly questionable. It's very easy to do and just takes a minute - Click here to help

So what did you have for lunch? Bet it wasn't all that interesting.. not as interesting as say.. a small aircraft would have been.. or a set of false teeth that belong to someone else.

Yep, human beings have swallowed these things. And thanks to X-Ray Technician Schools you can read all about these and other batshit crazy things people have eaten.
