The astronaut of the internet..? I don’t know.

I can see half of a testicle, so that probably means it’s not safe for work. :)

`An undercover officer saw Ansche eat the one fry and quickly placed her under arrest. The twelve-year-old girl was searched and her jacket, backpack, and shoelaces were confiscated. Her hands were cuffed behind her back and she was put into a paddy wagon and driven to the Juvenile Processing Center. Three hours after the arrest, Ansche was finally released into the custody of her mother. [..]

A 12-year-old with hyperactivity disorder told students ahead of him in the lunch line to leave some potatoes, or “I’m going to get you.” The principal called the police and the Louisiana boy was arrested for making a terrorist threat. He spent two weeks in jail awaiting a hearing. [..]

An 11-year-old girl was arrested after asking her teacher for permission to use a smooth-edged steak knife that she had brought from home to cut a piece of chicken that she was eating for lunch. [..]

Eight-year-old Hamadi Alston found an L-shaped piece of paper in a school book. While playing “cops and robbers” with his friends during recess, Hamadi used the paper as a pretend gun, exclaiming “Pow, pow!” At the conclusion of recess, Hamadi was taken to the school office and interrogated to tears. Hamadi was arrested by the Irvington, New Jersey, Police Department for “threatening to kill other students” with his paper pistol. He spent almost five hours in police custody and was required to make two court appearances before charges were finally dropped.’

`A sculpted and polished phallus found in a German cave is among the earliest representations of male sexuality ever uncovered, researchers say.

The 20cm-long, 3cm-wide stone object, which is dated to be about 28,000 years old, was buried in the famous Hohle Fels Cave near Ulm in the Swabian Jura.

The prehistoric “tool” was reassembled from 14 fragments of siltstone.’

`As Peter Kofod wrote,”Take a look at this photo of the four alleged London bombers.” [..]

“At first, (almost) everything looks fine, but look closer… look at the guy with the white hat… check out his left arm (HIS left arm)…. the lower of the rails of the railing is IN FRONT of his left arm… where of course it shouldn’t be! I’m NO image specialist, but this sure looks ridiculous. I’d say it´s a fake.”

The CLG has also inspected this image. “The white-hatted man was apparently superimposed onto the photo. Not only is his arm ‘behind’ a railing that is supposedly several feet behind HIM, but also, upon magnification in Photoshop, part of the bar actually goes into his head. This was ‘touched-up,’ but pixels of his head mix unmistakably with pixels from the railing.” –Michael Rectenwald.’

I think a lot of these are a bit silly. But kinda interesting anyway.

Hacked twice, it seems. Above link goes to the Google cache.

At the time of posting the site itself has a different hacked page on it.

Another Grow game. These things are cool. :) Not easy tho.

Here’s a picture of your mother. She’s too sexy for work, so wait until you get home to have a look at her. :)

`Spammers have taken control of communications on Mars rover Spirit, and have started using it as an interplanetary spam relay announced NASA representative Sylvia Monborn.

NASA engineers first became aware the issue when the images of the Martian landscape from the pancam started to resemble hot young girls who like to spread them. For some of the engineers the new pictures were even more interesting than Martian rocks, but they eventually realized that something had gone wrong.’

`It’s amazing, or maybe kind of scary, what a hair and makeup artist and photoshop can do for a girls image. Makes you think twice about hot chicks in magazine spreads.’

`US investigators, including CIA agents, will be allowed interrogate Irish citizens on Irish soil in total secrecy, under an agreement signed between Ireland and the US last week.

Suspects will also have to give testimony and allow property to be searched and seized even if what the suspect is accused of is not a crime in Ireland.

Under ‘instruments of agreement’ signed last week by Justice Minister Michael McDowell, Ireland and the US pledged mutual co-operation in the investigation of criminal activity. It is primarily designed to assist America’s so-called ‘war on terror’ in the wake of the September 11 atrocities. ‘

‘This is a great prank call made using clips from A Few Good Men. The lady being pranked really gets worked up.’

`MythTV is a homebrew PVR project that I’ve been working on in my spare time. It’s been under heavy development for two years, and is now quite useable and featureful.’

`A unique alcoholic drink unlike any other. Extremely popular in the US, Europe and Canada, this light drink is distilled from cereal alcohol, pure spring water, sugar and handful of hemp seeds of the Cannabis sativa L. variety (better known as the Beniko species). Even more artistic and distinctive than the worm at the bottom of the tequila bottle, each Cannabis Vodka comes with a handful of marijuana seeds at the bottom of the bottle.

`When Darth Vader decided to take over the universe, he decided he needed a really big gun…. a really very big gun indeed, a gun so big it could destroy an entire planet in a single shot. With this in mind he built the Death Star, witnesses at the time often confused it with a small moon, so you get some idea of it’s size… and colour.

In my batchelor days I decided I needed a subwoofer for my lounge, a subwoofer so powerful it could loosen fillings, shake out the colesteral from my arteries and generally make a lot of noise. It seemed to me that the Death Star, ignoring the weakness that ultimately lead to it’s complete destruction, was a pretty good design… so I made my own (with a lot of help from my then housemate).

I’m no longer a batchelor, I no longer live in a detached house in the middle of nowhere, so the subwoofer is offered here for sale.’

`Dr. David Thorpe recently appeared on the G4 TV show, “Attack of the Show.” Here’s the backstory we came up with before he went on:

quote:
Lowtax: I think you should concentrate on making SA seem like the worst site in the world. Come off as a real jerk. Refer to SA by the wrong name, like “Something Is Awful dot com” or “Some Things Awful.” Make up facts about the site. Claim I’m in jail. Say we’re being investigated by the FBI.

Lowtax: Seriously, make sure everything you say is 100% wrong. Don’t answer any questions legitamately. I want people who never heard of SA before the interview to think it’s a horrible site and never want to visit.

Lowtax: say I couldn’t do the interview because I’m under house arrest

Lowtax: If I look at the SA stats and notice traffic has spiked after your interview, I’m going to know you did a terrible job’

`Its streamlined metallic bodywork is seriously easy on the eye, but the biggest attraction is the fact that each of its keys features a colour OLED screen. Cleverer still is its ability to store a number of preset images and configurations, enabling you customize the keyboard specifically for unique pieces of software, such as Photoshop or Half-Life 2 (click to enlarge gallery images below).’

`It’s simple. Some parents are just plain crazy. But few are as crazy as many soon-to- be parents, who, wrapped up in the fear and anticipation, the social status and expectations, go just plain mad. Mad as march hares with swollen ankles and morning sickness.

The following is a catalog of naming questions and suggestions posted on several different baby naming bulletin boards going back as far as early 2001. All entries are left unedited except for length.

As you will see, some parents-to-be have gone so far into the realm of baby-obsession they have lost track of the real, adult world. Their view is so skewed their only concerns are a) making their child “unique” and b) trying to keep the kid from being teased, often with terrible results.

Steel yourself, take a few deep breaths, and read.’
