This game kept crashing Mozilla on me, but it works fine in IE.

I think it’s probably my Mozilla that’s at fault tho.

`Almost 28 years after his death, fans of the King of Rock, Elvis Presley, can now see their icon in a radically different light; that as a Nazi.

The legend is seen wearing a Nazi cap and giving a Nazi salute in some pictures taken from a grainy half-hour home cine film.’

Hopefully this will turn up on the net at some point. If anyone finds it, leave a comment with the URL.

[Or mail me, if I have my mail.php script thingy done by then. :)]

`An agent for the U.S. FBI said Wednesday that a grenade thrown in the crowd during last week’s speech by U.S. President George W. Bush was capable of exploding.

The statement by agent Bryan Paarmann contradicted initial reports by Georgian officials that the grenade was not in condition to explode and that it had been found on the ground rather than thrown.’

`According to UK tabloid the Sun, a 33-year-old Welsh housewife ended up in hospital after wearing Ann Summers vibrating Passion Pants to her local Asda supermarket in Swansea.

Unfortunately, she became “so aroused by the 2½-inch vibrating bullet inside that she fainted” then “fell against shelves and banged her head”. This prompted the attendance of the paramedics who “found the black leatherette panties still buzzing”. Having disabled the orgasmatronic underwear, they then whisked the senseless shopper to hospital where she made a complete recovery.’

Apprently Germans think Belgians are smelly pederasts and the Spanish think the Dutch are offensively tall.

Or it could all just be made up. [shrug] Who knows. :)

I reckon I should try and patent Bill Gates’ arsehole, then make him give me a million dollars every time he uses it to take a shit.

Either I’ll become very rich or he’ll start carrying around a colostomy bag.

`View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.’

Some British MP at a senate enquiry in the US talking about Iraq. It’s very cool, he lays into them and pretty much tells them they’re all cunts.

`Nethercomm, a California-based Broadband provider, claimed on its website to have pioneered a technology to deliver TV, phone and internet services through natural Gas pipelines.

The wireless, last-mile, method — dubbed Broadband-in-Gas (BiG) technology — would provide “limitless bandwidth”, the company said.’

Someone finally noticed and removed it but, according to ZGeek, there was originally a picture attached to the article.

You can access it from the ZGeek forum.

`Welcome to Mad Physics Dot Com, your source for all things science. Whether you’re a student, teacher, or just a fan of the science this site will teach you and ignite your imagination. We provide all sorts of labs and demonstrations to answer all of your unanswered questions. [..]

In coming up with experiments for the site we came up with certain criteria: the experiment should be cool, easy to set up, and cheap. We tried to stick with that set-up, but still some of our experiments are VERY dangerous. That is why we recommend that you take extreme precautions and always work with a partner. Remember, we do not take any responsibility for damages or injuries caused by these experiments!’

Amusing video from WoW (I think).

Reminds me of a friend of mine. Every time we tried to start a new Diablo multiplayer game the first thing he would do is race down and let the Butcher out. Invariably, soon after the game started there’d be a cry of “Aah, fuck! Dave’s the the Butcher out again. Help me! Help! Oh, don’t worry, I’m dead”, followed by much laughter from Dave himself and moans from everyone else.

Those were the days. :)

‘It was in late December 2004 when New York-based comedian Eugene Mirman first received a phone-call from a nonprofit organization called “Faith, Family and Freedom,” asking if he opposed gay marriage and then offering to switch his long-distance service to a “Christian-based telephone carrier” identified as United American Technologies out of Oklahoma. [..]

After the call reaches a person they are prompted to press “1” if they oppose gay marriage. A holding message says “Please do not hang up … This information will describe how the ACLU and gays are getting gay marriage in every state.” The operator then enters the conversation:

Operator: Did you press 1 to oppose same sex marriages?
Mr. Mirman: Oh, I pressed it, yes.
Operator: Okay, that’s great to hear. And are you against same sex marriages?
Mr. Mirman: Well, I want to destroy it, yes.
Operator: Okay. That’s great to hear… –
Mr. Mirman: Like the fist of God we will smash them!
Operator: Exactly.’

mp3s of the recorded conversations. Worth a listen.

There’s just no explanation for this.

`Developed by Oculus Innovative Sciences in Petaluma, the super-oxygenated water is claimed to be as effective a disinfectant as chlorine bleach, but is harmless to people, animals and plants. If accidentally ingested by a child, the likely impact is a bad case of clean teeth. [..]

According to Hoji Alimi, founder and president of Oculus, the ion-hungry water creates an osmotic potential that ruptures the cell walls of single-celled organisms, and out leaks the cell’s cytoplasm. Because multicellular organisms — people, animals, plants — are tightly bound, the water is prevented from surrounding the cells, and there is no negative impact.’

It’s awful. You’ve been warned.

Certified 100% unsafe for work.

`One morning after I woke up I was feeling right randy, and I guess a little loony as well! So what did I do? Well, I opened up a chest in my room and got a ring of duct tape, taped it around my little friend, and started to wank. It did not work too good, and now that I think about it, I don’t see how it could have, but I was very tired at the time so you can’t blame me. I was feeling right loony. But anyway, the duct tape was very tight and started to cut off blood flow. I couldn’t get it off so I ran around the house trying to find something to cut with. I found a knife and then started to cut the tape and then “OUCH!” I stabbed myself right in my willy!’

What it says. [shrug]

I didn’t bother to read the site, I just like it for the domain name.

Who knows tho, some of you might find something worth while there. :)

`A Romanian traffic cop has been demoted after he fined a driver for “having a face like a moron and being a big monkey”. [..]

Head of the Romanian police Dan Fatuloiu said Vlasceanu, who claimed he had handed out the fine as a joke, had been demoted for “inappropriate behaviour and defaming the police force”.

He has now been given a desk job in a remote village.’

`In this two part series, we will give you a step by step approach to breaking a WEP key. The approach taken will be to standardize as many variables as possible so that you can concentrate on the mechanics of WEP cracking without being hindered by hardware and software bugs.

Cool little Defend Your Castle type thing.

Up to the second statistics on all sorts of things.

`Several centuries ago, some “very light-skinned” people were shipwrecked on a tropical island. After “many years under the tropical sun,” this light-skinned population became “dark-skinned,” says Biology: The Study of Life, a high-school textbook published in 1998 by Prentice Hall, an imprint of Pearson Education. [..]

A study commissioned by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation in 2001 found 500 pages of scientific error in 12 middle-school textbooks used by 85 percent of the students in the country. One misstates Newton’s first law of motion. Another says humans can’t hear elephants. Another confuses “gravity” with “gravitational acceleration.” Another shows the equator running through the United States. [..]

A study by the National Assessment governing board in 2000 found that only 12 percent of graduating seniors were proficient in science. International surveys continue to show that American high school seniors rank 19th among seniors surveyed in 21 countries.’

`He arrives and then she takes two 2 to 2 1/2 inch long thin nails and a hammer and tells him to drive the nails all the way down on the table though each of my nipples. Next she goes around to the back of me and then pulls my pussy lips apart and then she gets smaller nails and then tells him to drive the smaller nails through each of my pussy lips to the corner of the table edge so that when you stand behind me, you can see deep inside of me.’

It gets worse.

`A 38-year-old suburban man allegedly admitted to police he drank 10 beers before lighting a commercial firework inside his home, blowing up the house and seriously burning himself and a female companion.

“When you see these in public settings, they’re 30, 40, 50 feet across at the top,” Pat Barry, spokesman for the Will County sheriff’s department, said of the firework the man allegedly set off. “Imagine this going off in a room that’s about 8 by 8,” Barry said.’

`I don’t know what possessed me to build this other than the fact I have some fascination with rack mount gear. It’s my goal to rack mount ever nintendo console made.’

`”This 25 year old man claimed he had gone to a bar and picked up a girl. They then went back to her place. After a short while, they started going at it on her bed. She reached over to her nightstand, picked up something, and inserted into his anus. He didn’t know what it was (hence the reason the xrays were done), but he was gonna kill her.’

With lots of x-ray images and a tally of different objects found. Oh, and a live artillery shell.

`Due to the falling out between Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton, producers of Fox’s The Simple Life are continuing their search for the perfect spoiled, no-talent socialite cunt to step in for Richie. “It shouldn’t be too hard to find another vapid, muddied cum-dumpster perpetually drunk on the jizz of trust-fund himbos,” producer Jonathan Murray said. “Any million-dollar Bambi with a vast inheritance and no ambition will do, though gutter-sluts with coke-fueled pasts will be given special consideration.” Murray added that “it doesn’t matter if her pussy rattles when the wind blows—we can fix that in post.”‘

`Ouch! That smarts! Treat your minor cuts, scrapes and scratches with the incredible healing power of a designer bandage from Accoutrements. And if a fancy bandage isn’t enough to dry up your tears, how about a FREE TOY!

The 3″ x 1″ Bacon Strips are cut to look like small slabs of bacon. Fifteen per tin.’

Yet another thing to add to the list of stuff that I want for no real reason.

Some guy making some cool things, including rail guns and gas turbines. There’s also some chemistry stuff aswell. There’s some videos and lots of pictures.

If you wanna play with hydrofluoric acid like they’ve done, a few tips:

1. Don’t.
2. Do it in a fume hood.
3. Cover your arms and wear a face shield.
4. Just don’t. :)
