Their Scheme Faded Just Like The Ink
If only we’d had a blog back in 1996. If we had, this story of two teenagers trying to write bad cheques in invisible ink would be so up here. But then again, I didn’t even have an email address in 1996, and the word blog didn’t exist. But this appeared in Snopes yesterday and …
An Alternative Flash Player Updater Update
Hmmm. I can see many long-winded titles in my future. Well, Mr. wecode.biz is very very fast on the email! I’ve already got a response, and it appears I was unfair to the poor fellow. Somehow, when the dialog was written, the don’t install and install buttons have been rendered completely screenreader-invisible. So all I …

Be Careful Of Alternative Flash Player Updater 1.0.0.3
Edit: It appears the programmer isn’t so bad. It is a problem between the layout of the dialog and screenreaders. See this post. Although I stand by what I said in a general sense, forcing software on folks is not what he’s all about. For once, I’m very happy to say I was wrong. Why …

I never know who reads, so I might as well use anything I’ve got to spread the word. Here’s the little blurb. …
Holy Expensive Bible!
Here’s one for all the people who have tried to heal me. Many times, during conversations where super-religious folk tell me I can be saved, or invite me to some kind of healing service, they ask me if a braille bible exists. Well, I’m here to say the answer is yes…if you can afford it. …
The Truth Will Send You To Jail
I guess Efe Moniedafe thought there was no way to beat a polygraph test, and thought it was best to tell the truth. So, during a job interview at US Customs, when asked about his hobbies, he said collecting child pornography was a hobby that he found fun. This raised quite a few red flags, …
That’s Hot Stuff!
Hey Steve, Wanna try out The Steak ‘n Shake mentioned in this story? Although I have a feeling it may be too late. According to the story, the Gann family, mom, dad, and their son, went out to eat there. A server asked the kid if he wanted hot sauce with his chili. He said …
Get Off The Drugs, They’re Rotting Your Brain!
So here’s a tip. If you buy some weed, and when you smoke it, you think it tastes funny, just stop smoking it. Maybe realize that you wasted that money and throw it away. But don’t call the cops and ask if they could check if it’s pot. They’ll check it for you, but even …
