Here’s another episode of religious zealots piss me off. There’s a movement called Dutch Christian Natureists. They like to do their church services in the nude at nudist parks.

Swipe And Swap
This is one of the weirdest burglaries I’ve ever seen. Should I call it a burglary, or a wacky office-rearranging job? He does take stuff, like change, a laptop, some other random items, but sometimes he puts other items in place of the ones he stole. In one case, he took water bottles and moved …
Explosive Flavour
Now there’s a video I’d love to see, a giant transport truck full of exploding pudding cups and rice pudding. What’s in those things? Apparently the whole truck was consumed by exploding desserts in 20 minutes.
If You Get Flesh-Eating Disease, It’s Good To Have Extra Flesh For It To Eat
Ok, cue the Steve jokes from everybody else who likes to make them. We always hear about how being fat can kill you. Well, if you get flesh-eating disease, you’d better hope you packed on the pounds because that extra flubber might save your organs. How often do you hear a story like this? But …

I Looked At What?
Here’s the sequel to the whole filtering out sites that seem to have obscene words in them saga. Now, some numbnut was ordered to go through the Tampa fire station computers looking for evidence that firefighters were looking at porn. How were they doing this?

Il Internet è una serie di tubi
That was a cobbled translation of “The Internet is a series of tubes” into Italian. I don’t know how well I did, I used Babelfish after all. This is a warning to all bloggers in Italy. your blog could send you to jail. Yeah, a judge as uninformed as Ted Stevens decided that since a …
Subway, Get Fresh
I have not seen this for myself, but our friend Greg phoned us up and told us about it, so I went out searching. References to it are all over the net, but I can’t find a single video of the commercial. Apparently, Subway Sandwiches has started referring to their footlong subs as…as…as…Yum Rockets! That …

Carin just brought to my attention a boneheaded bit of election scheduling. I sent her a quick note to let her know that our local all candidates debatewill be on Rogers Television Tuesday October 7th at 7 PM.She’s got a better memory than I do and she kind of serves as my pocket organizer, so …
You Can’t Hide Your Gun Anymore, So Feel Free To Wave It Around
I don’t understand U.S. gun laws. I just don’t. Here’s the story. Meleanie Hain, who has a concealed weapons permit, goes to her five-year-old daughter’s soccer game, openly carrying a loaded weapon. Other parents found this to be kinda disconcerting. They told the coach. He told her to move. She wasn’t happy with that. Later, …
